The Hill Times: Best Books of 2017 What happens when crucial public
issues are decided the people themselves? Canadians answered
“Yes” or “No” to prohibiting alcohol, conscripting
soldiers, and revamping our constitution. Forcing such crucial
choices at the ballot box is high-stakes democracy, both here and
overseas — as witnessed with Britain’s transformative 2016
“Brexit” referendum. Forcing Choice dissects Canada’s
extensive use of ballot questions at all levels of government, and
weighs the benefits of citizens making fundamental decisions for
the nation. Holding referendums is tricky, and getting it wrong
carries a high price. This hard-hitting book draws on Boyer’s
deep research on direct democracy and his experience advising
governments about referendums, writing books, drafting and
introducing the Canada Referendum Act, monitoring foreign
referendums, and campaigning in Canadian ones.
