About the author

Editorial Reviews

"...interesting analysis... different viewpoints are presented in a summarized roundtable discussion of the alternative budget."

Canadian Book Review Annual

"[T]he AFB sets forth, in great detail and with solid facts and figures, an alternative vision for Canada's future--and a vision that clearly and irrefutably can be made a reality... so there's no doubt that an alternative way of running the country does indeed exist, and that it would create a society much more beneficial to most Canadians....a society with far less poverty and unemployment, with a much narrower gap between rich and poor, and with a sturdily rebuilt social security system.
The more Canadians learn that yes, there really is an alternative, the fewer will continue to accept the spurious right-wing claim that there isn't."

Saint John Telegraph-Journal
