Charlie is just 11 years old when a road accident puts him into a
coma. His family are encouraged to talk to him constantly with
stories and anecdotes. In between these visits we embark on a
journey that involves this family seven years in the future. His
sister, now grown up falls in love with a handsome soldier with a
dark and unhappy past. He is involved in rescuing his friends
sister from drug traffickers and prostitution. It is a story of
immense bravery and betrayal. The story line touches on many
subjects including religion, domestic abuse, child abuse, cot
death, terrorism, suicide and murder, but mostly it is a love
story. There are striking parallels between the stories Charlie is
told and what happens in the future. Could it all just be a dream?
In this collection, J.P. Lewis and Joanna Everitt bring together a
group of up-and coming-political scientists as well as senior
scholars to explore the recent history of the Conservative Party of
Canada, covering the pre-merger period (1993-2003) and both the
minority and majority governments under Prime Minister Stephen
Harper. The contributors provide nuanced accounts about the
experience of conservatives in Canada which reflect the
contemporary evolution of Canadian politics in both policy and
practice. They challenge the assumption that Harper's government
was built upon traditional "toryism" and reveal the extent to which
the agenda of the CPC was shaped by its roots to the Reform and
Canadian Alliance Parties. Organized thematically, the volume
delves into such topics as interest advocacy, ethno-cultural
minorities, gender, the media, foreign policy, and more. The
Blueprint showcases the renewed vigour in political studies in
Canada while revealing the contradictory story of the modern
Conservative Party.
