Summary
On January 23, 2006, political writer and broadcaster Hébert stood in a Calgary convention hall with 2,000 Alberta Conservatives, who were cheering the election of ten Tory MPs from Quebec. Just months before, this would have been inconceivable, since more… than ten years previously, the Quebec-Alberta Coalition cobbled together by Brian Mulroney had dissolved, leading to the birth of the Bloc Québecois and the Reform Party. Hébert delivers a post-mortem of the Canadian coalitions that died that election night, and an examination of our changing political landscape. 2007.
