Now in its fifth edition, this textbook is the standard authority on the government and politics of Ontario. Ideal for undergraduate students, it provides general background information, discusses government institutions, and covers key issues on the political scene such as the role of the media, women in politics, and the North. Extensively revised and updated to reflect the experiences of the NDP government and the early Harris era, this edition also features a new section on change and continuity in the Ontario political system.
