During the 2015 federal election, approximately 1200 political campaigns were held across Canada. One of those campaigns belonged to author, journalist and political neophyte Noah Richler. Recruited by the NDP to run in the bellweather riding of Toronto-St Paul's, he was handed $350 and told he would lose. But as veteran NDP activists and social-media-savvy newbies joined his campaign, Richler found himself increasingly insulated from the stark reality that his campaign was flailing, imagining instead that he was headed to Parliament Hill. In The Candidate, Richler recounts his time on the trail in sizzling detail and hilarious frankness, from door knocking in Little Jamaica to being internet-shamed by experienced opponents. The Candidate lays bare what goes on behind the slogans, canvassing and talking points, told from the perspective of a political outsider. With his signature wit and probing eye, Noah Richler's chronicle of running for office is insightful, brutally honest and devastatingly funny."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 600 10 $a Richler, Noah. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2007028051 610 20 $a New Democratic Party. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n82137154 610 10 $a Canada. $b Parliament $x Elections, 2015. 600 17 $a Richler, Noah. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01669508 610 17 $a Canada. $b Parliament. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00533129 610 27 $a New Democratic Party. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00573565 650 0 $a Political candidates $z Canada $v Biography. 650 0 $a Political campaigns $z Canada. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010106940 650 7 $a Elections. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00904324 650 7 $a Political campaigns. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069212 650 7 $a Political candidates. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069218 651 7 $a Canada. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204310 648 7 $a 2015 $2 fast 655 7 $a Biography. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423686 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423686 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/genreForms/gf2014026049 776 1 $a Richler, Noah, author. $t Candidate. $w (CaOONL)20169022749 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020020248.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3A87CA44E61E11E7AB1B6A7197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
