Governing Canada : a guide to the tradecraft of politics
Michael Wernick, shares advice and information that is usually only provided behind closed doors. You'll learn about what goes into picking a Cabinet, how to get the most out of the team, and the ways in which a government works to stay on track. You'll also discover how ministers build up their influence and political power, and how easily that career can be derailed. You'll learn why using a government aircraft is a no-no even if a politician's constituency is five time zones away, how the end of a political career probably won't be a politician's decision, and other hard truths only a long-time observer of government from the inside would know.
