3.0 out of 5 stars A Canadian Over View, Mar 19 2010

Patrick Sullivan (Kingston, Ont. Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Underground Nation: The Secret Economy And The Future Of Canada (Paperback)

I read this a while ago, so most of the material is out of date. Diane Francis attempts to explain various imbalances in the Canadian political landscape. I did not find any new insights. The book is more of a summation of various current events.
She points out that tax avoidance becomes common, after the tax level reaches 50% of income. This is the growth factor behind the underground economy.
I was a little surprised, that she mentioned the plight of English specking people in Quebec. This is a taboo subject, that almost all Canadian journalists avoid discussing. She also points out that the federal government has become a Quebec employment agency.
Most of these facts are well known. The book did not seem to break any new ground.
