In Transforming the Nation, leading Canadian politicians and scholars reflect on the major policy debates of the period and offer new and surprising interpretations of Brian Mulroney. Mulroney had a tremendous impact on Canada, charting a new direction for the country through his decisions on a variety of public-policy issues - free trade with the United States, social-security reform, foreign policy, and Canada's North. The Mulroney government represented a dramatic break with Canada's past.

Arvustused

"The Mulroney years were eventful and his record far from perfect. Perhaps more than anything, they were consequential. Transforming the Nation is an honest, detailed and fair assessment of his nine years in office and the consequences that have come as a result of his activist agenda" Adam Daifallah, Options Politiques
