Spinning History: A Witness to Harper’s Canada and 21st Century choices

An unvarnished look at the Harper years and what lies ahead for Canadians

Veteran Toronto Star political and economics journalist Les Whittington has seen it all, and then some. In his new book, Spinning History, Whittington chronicles—with remarkable clarity and a cop-like, straight-up tone—the hallmarks of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s government. It’s a concise, well-written insider’s guide on how the government has tried to change Canada over the last 10 years and it offers some suggestions for the future.
