The Blaikie Report: An Insider's Look at Faith and Politics
By Bill Blaikie
Bill Blaikie has a unique insider's perspective on political life in Canada. As a United Church minister reflecting on three decades in the House of Commons, he tells the too-often-overlooked story of Canada's Christian left and, in particular, of the New Democratic Party's roots in the social gospel and its ongoing influence. This lively book is peppered with personal anecdotes, and political personalities and events from Canada's recent history.
