Dead Centre Hope, Possibilty, and Unity for Canadian Progressives by Jamey Heath John Wiley & Sons Canada Ltd., 2007 ISBN: 0470840730 A provocative and inspired call to unite progressives in Canada and shift the political landscape. The Liberal Party is down, and might not be able to get back up. It is no longer a natural governing entity after losing Quebec for seven straight elections. Stephen Harper's policies have been controversial and polarizing, especially for left-leaning Conservatives. There are people on both sides who want Canada to get past this mollified partisanship. The alternative is to take back the centre and charge forward with a progressive agenda. Our nation was once a beacon for centrist, sensible, level-headed policy. Do the Liberals speak for true Canadian values anymore? They don't. Will the Conservatives stand firm for Canada in a globalized economy? They won't. Is the status quo good enough for you? How do we get back to a place where Canada leads in those areas that Canadians feel passionate about?
