In praise of democracy
Last night in Toronto, the Donner Prize for the best public policy book in Canada was awarded to Democratizing the Constitution by Mark Jarvis, Lori Turnbull and the late Peter Aucoin. Mark graciously adapted some of the book’s proposals for a contribution to our series on the House last year.
You can read excerpts from Democratizing the Constitution here, here and here. And you can purchase the book here and here.
Congratulations to Mark, Lori and Peter’s family.
