Shortlisted for the Donner Prize for Best Public Policy Book of the YearFrom the authors of The Big Shift and Empty Planet, a timely and provocative exploration of the seismic forces reshaping Canada’s political, cultural, and economic landscape.

Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson’s explosive new polemic, arrives in the midst of the greatest political crisis Canada has ever faced. The country stands at risk. Even before Donald Trump returned to the U.S. presidency, brandishing tariffs and threats of annexation, Canada had started to crack. Year after year of decisions deferred, problems ignored, and cans kicked carelessly down the road have created dangerous fissures.

Stifling regulations drag down the economy. Younger people feel angry and alienated by dizzying housing prices and gig jobs. Regional tensions threaten unity in both Quebec and the Prairies. The immigration system is broken. And Canada stands alone, having failed to pay the cost of defending itself.

Canadians elected a former bank governor to fix all this. But can the Liberals get us out of the mess they helped get us into? What future awaits the progressive and conservative coalitions? Will the Laurentian elites continue to misgovern, or are there alternatives? The country is at a breaking point. Canadians must act to save it before they lose it.

Provocative, urgent, and unapologetically candid, Breaking Point will ignite debate, dominate political discourse, and become the definitive guide to understanding what is shaping up to be one of the most turbulent eras in Canadian history.

Seemed like the chapters could have been structured a little better for the first 3/4 of the book as the content tends to jump back and forth a bit but it tighted up and became more focused towards the end.

Not a book that I feel the desire to listen to again.

Easy to follow for listeners who may be looking for an overview of the current Canadian political situation.

Performance is good. It’s easy to listen to, but the overwhelming business is a show is just sickness leaving out can you fax, whitewashing any right main failure this is not book center. You may enjoy it if you’re far right or just full of hate. We attempt to be unbiased disappears at the gushing love in for Pierre P.

This was a very good book. Many opinions expressed especially in the lead up to the suggested solutions certainly come from that of gentlemen from an Ontario centric view/beliefs, what would be a traditionally liberal view(not our recent display of liberalism has been by the lpc). But it ends with some fantastic suggestions, if only politicians would listen. These ideas would greatly better our nation and create more unity and prosperity.

Great book

Well written and narrated. These facts on Canada should be a lesson for voters. Liberals don’t deserve a majority government.

Great facts on Canada!
