Slumming It at the Rodeo: The Cultural Roots of Canada's Right Wing Revolution by Gordon Laird published 1998. Trade Paperback. Condition Like New.- 206 pages
Take a wild ride through the frontier of Canada's conservative 1990s political leaders in Slumming it at the Rodeo: The Cultural Roots of Canada's Right-wing Revolution. Alberta Premier Ralph Klein, Ontario Premier Mike Harris, and Reform Party leader Preston Manning try to make themselves out as wild west heroes while they cut social programs and speak of fiscal conservatism. Award-winning author Gordon Laird challenges and encourages readers to question this conservative trend in Canadian politics. Slumming it at the Rodeo contests the "cost-cutting cowboys" to a "showdown" on their own turf in the proces exposing how the roots of Canada's right wing "revolution" lie solidly in our colective past."
