"This book is an introduction to the fundamental principles and primary institutions of the Canadian political regime. Using a traditional historical-institutional approach, it The Canadian Regime introduces students to the idea of the regime, which is a lens through which they can see how institutions interact with the basic principles of the political order. The book explains authors explain how the Canadian liberal democratic regime was founded on the fundamental principles of liberty, equality, and consent and discusses the ways in which Canada's institutions have developed and operate in accordance with these principles. The authors also examine how the regime has at times failed to follow these principles, particularly with respect to Canada's Indigenous peoples, and how reforms to Canada's governing institutions challenge historical assumptions concerning parliamentary government and federalism. Now in its seventh edition, The Canadian Regime continues to provide the most accessible introduction to Canadian politics, making Canada's unique government and systems clear to students. This edition is updated with the results of the 2019 federal election."-- $c Provided by publisher.
