Signed and Inscribed by Author: "Down with deficit hysteria! Linda McQuaig". SYNOPSIS: For the past few years it has been impossible to open a newspaper or watch television news without encountering a terrifying story about our national deficit. No subject has dominated the Canadian political scene more completely. And no subject has been so misunderstood. We watch helplessly as everything from our cherished health care and educational systems to the little hippo at the zoo falls prey to the axe of the deficit slashers. While the media cheer them on, the slashers have become ever more determined to hack away at our social programs, chanting the mantra that doing so is the only way to cut the deficit. But the real source of the problem can be traced-to an astonishing extent-to a particular policy that was imposed on us with virtually no public input, consultation or understanding. With the excitement of a mystery thriller, Shooting the Hippo tells the real story behind the deficit. The book follows a labyrinthine trail through the top levels of government, Wall Street and Bay Street, the media, the C. D. Howe Institute and the financial "monastery" where crucial decisions have been made outside of public view. Along the way, we meet a host of colourful characters, from John Crow, former governor of the Bank of Canada, to a powerful Wall Street guru who incurred the wrath of Canada's financial community, to high-profile journalists who contributed greatly to the deficit hysteria, and a mild-mannered government statistician who almost succeeded in blowing the whistle on the deficit propaganda. McQuaig argues that we've got the wrong deficit culprit and before we all gather for the public shooting, we should consider the consequences. As we gut our social programs in the name of deficit reduction, we risk destroying the very fabric of our country-and its future. A journalist for almost twenty years, Linda McQuaig has covered a wide range of subjects, from the revolution in Iran to the financial dealings of Canada's establishment. Winner of a National Newspaper Award for uncovering the Patti Starr scandal, she has worked for The Globe and Mail, The Toronto Star, Maclean's and CBC Radio. Her first book, Behind Closed Doors, an expose of the inequities in Canada's tax system, rocked the financial elite. In 1991 she was awarded an Atkinson Fellowship for journalism in public policy, and her next two books, The Quick and the Dead and The Wealthy Banker's Wife, both became controversial bestsellers.
