Back to the Wilderness 520 $a "The Liberal Party has governed Canada for much of the country's history. Yet over the past two decades, the 'natural governing party' has seen a decrease in traditional support, finding itself in opposition for nearly half of that time. In Divided Loyalties, Brooke Jeffrey draws on her own experience as a party insider and on interviews with more than sixty senior Liberals to follow the trajectory of the party from 1984 to the leadership of St婉phane Dion in 2008. 520 $a Riven by internal strife, leadership disputes, and financial woes, the Liberal Party today faces unprecedented challenges that threaten its very future. Conventional wisdom attributes the origins of the disarray to personal conflict between Jean Chr婉tien and Paul Martin. However, Jeffrey argues that this divisiveness is actually the continuation of a dispute over Canadian federalism and national unity which began decades earlier between John Turner and Pierre Trudeau. This dispute, as evidenced by recent leadership crises, remains unresolved to this day. An insightful examination of the federal Liberal Party, Divided Loyalties sheds much-needed light on an increasingly fissured party."--pub. desc. 610 20 $a Liberal Party of Canada $x History. 651 0 $a Canada $x Politics and government $y 1980- 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825075044.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2A5D41586A8C11E689525693DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
