Synopsis
Excerpt from Currents and Counter-Currents in Canadian Politics: Or a Brief Enquiry Into Certain Factors Which to-Day Dominate Political Life in Canada
This condition of affairs is, perhaps, more fully illustrated in our Federal than in our Provincial assemblies. At the present time the transactions of Parliament are freely, though seldom fairly, published in public press, whereby the mass are daily acquainted with its deliberations. Solely from party spirit these proceedings are frequently charactized by the most ungenerous rivalry; and the frequency of these exhibitions has engendered a commendable indifference to many trying instances of personal aspersion, which, a century ago, would doubtless have sought redress in pistols at twenty paces. If a so-called Whig promotes a measure which suggests the sligh est departure from the conventional methods of his British ancestors, his tory opponents will probably charge him with disloyalty. If, upon the other hand, a tory advocates a scheme in the light of the traditional belief of his party, his Whig adversarys may impeach him with servile admiration for ancient examples and disrespect for the rights of the people.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the checkered history of politics in Canada, exploring the shift from an honorable profession to a mere trade driven by personal gain. The author laments the decline in political integrity and the rise of partyism, where loyalty to party has come to overshadow the interests of the nation. Amidst this critique, the book also acknowledges the presence of worthy individuals in political life who strive to uphold the ideals of public service. The author examines the influence of partyism on both federal and provincial assemblies, highlighting the erosion of meaningful debate and the prevalence of partisan rivalry. The book further explores the impact of party loyalty on individual conscience and the suppression of independent thought. It challenges the notion of blind adherence to party lines and advocates for a more nuanced approach to politics, one that prioritizes the well-being of the nation above partisan interests. Ultimately, this book serves as a thought-provoking examination of the state of politics in Canada, offering insights into the complexities of party influence and the need for ethical and principled leadership.
