Mel Hurtig, Canadian nationalist, publisher, best-selling writer, has been warning Canadians about the detrimental influences from the excessive corporate takeover of Canada, including the impacts of foreign possession and so-called free-trade agreements for over 4 decades. In this short but important reserve, Mel Hurtig turns his focus on the devastating influence that the Stephen Harper authorities has had on Canada, radically changing the democratic, interpersonal and financial fabric of the united states. He about The Arrogant Autocrat displays how Stephen Harper’s single-minded quest for big oil and the tar sands, at a time when the globe must consider dramatic actions to arrest climate change, has inflicted enormous damage on our country and on our international reputation. He contends that Harper rose to power with an agenda so unlike Canadian concepts and values, that the only way he could pursue it had been through a takeover of Canadian democracy. Mel Hurtig is the famous Edmonton bookseller, publisher and creator from the Canadian Encyclopedia who became a politics activist, after that an author in 1991 along with his huge bestseller The Betrayal of Canada. He’s also the author of Pay out the Rent or Feed the Kids, The Vanishing Nation, Rushing to Armageddon and THE REALITY About Canada. He is an Officer of the Order of Canada, and provides received many honorary degrees and various other honours. He lives in Vancouver.
