Book Synopsis

Arguing that Canadians must reconsider the origins of their country in order to understand why change is difficult and why they continue to embrace regional identities, Democracy in Canada explains how Canada's national institutions were shaped by British historical experiences, and why there was little effort to bring Canadian realities into the mix.



Trade Review

“[Democracy in Canada] provides a deep dive into Canadian federalism, regionalism, and the issue of centralized power.” *Prairie History *


“Savoie’s work reminds us of what we likely should expect from our national institutions, namely full representation, accountability and equality. Given the threats posed by nascent separatist movements in Western Canada, let’s hope Canadians read this book, take its expert opinion seriously and begin pressuring politicians to act.” Alberta Views
