Green Party leader Elizabeth May on the state of Canadian politics

picture 081“Canadians are waking up from our long political slumber to realize that there will not be change unless we insist upon it. We have a presidential-style prime minister without the checks and balances of either the US or the Canadian systems. Attack ads run constantly, backbenchers and cabinet ministers alike are muzzled, committees are deadlocked, and civility has disappeared from the House of Commons. In Losing Confidence, Elizabeth May outlines these and other problems of our political system, and offers inspiring solutions to the dilemmas we face.” [Source: mcclelland.com] Losing Confidence is a ringing manifesto for change from the leader of Canada’s Green Party.

Elizabeth May joins us in the studio to talk about her new book.
