Honest Politics Now
What ethical conduct means in Canadian Public Life
Using high-profile political scandals as case studies, this book explores the standards of accountability to which Canadian politicians are now being held. This is the definitive up to date book on the subject of ethics in politics in Canada. The authors discuss conflict-of-interest and abuse-of-trust cases such as the gas plant scandal in Ontario; Allison Redford’s self-serving authorizations of spending in Alberta; Mike Duffy and the Senate expenses scandal; party financing cases such as the Robocalls affair and the Dean Del Mastro scandal; "dirty hands" examples such as the sponsorship scandal and the Arrar affair; the "cash for access" controversy surrounding Justin Trudeau’s fundraisers; and municipal issues including the sagas of Rob Ford and Hazel McCallion.
