Issue 45:

Inroads 45 looks ahead to Canada’s October 2019 federal election, and back to the event that reshaped the political landscape leading up to it: the SNC-Lavalin affair, with highlights of an extensive discussion of the principles it raises on the Inroads listserv. Reports from Canada’s five regions give a who’s-up-who’s-down assessment of party prospects and insight into the underlying dynamics that are likely to play out. Another major section examines nationalism from various angles, highlighted by Gareth Morley’s essay advocating a separation of nation and state. There are also reports from Venezuela, Sweden, Norway, France and Ukraine, and two perspectives on how to tackle climate change.
