This latest instalment reviews one of the most dramatic years in recent Canadian political history.While the country seemed solid both politically and economically at the beginning of 2008, by late summer trouble in the financial markets left banks and other financial institutions around the world on the brink of collapse. As the situation unfolded, Prime Minister Harper violated the spirit of his fixed election law and called a snap election, sensing the prospect of a Conservative majority. When the election returned another minority, Canada was plunged into a constitutional crisis that rivalled, if not surpassed, the King-Byng affair of 1926. The 2008 volume of the Canadian Annual Review of Politics and Public Affairs covers both these crises, as well as foreign, provincial, First Nations, and municipal affairs. 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Process / Campaigns & Elections$2bisacsh 607 $aCanada$xPolitics and government 607 $aCanada$xForeign relations 607 $aCanada$xEconomic conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Political Process / Campaigns & Elections. 676 $a320.971 702 $aMutimer$b David 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459794703321 996 $aCanadian annual review of politics and public affairs 2008$92125314 997 $aUNINA
