Allan Blakeney believed in government as a force for good. As
premier of Saskatchewan, he promoted social justice through
government intervention in the economy and the welfare state. He
created legal and constitutional structures that guaranteed strong
human rights, and he safeguarded the integrity of the voting system
to support a robust democracy. Blakeney encouraged excellence in
public administration to deliver the best possible services and
used taxes to help secure equality of opportunity. In Back to
Blakeney, a diverse set of scholars reflects on Blakeney's
achievements, as well as his constitutional legacy-namely, the
notwithstanding clause-and explores the challenges facing democracy
today. "I can think of no other biographical work in this country
that is so competent in its multi-faceted approach to its subject."
