Canadian Establishment

by Peter C Newman

Penguin Group Canada | April 1, 1999 | Trade Paperback

In the 1970s, a thousand men formed Canada's unelected government-invisible, inbred, secretive, puritanical and tough-minded business-men dedicated to preserving the status quo-their status quo. In this fascinating and factual account, we see who had the power, how they achieved it, how they held onto it and how they used and abused it.

In this groundbreaking first volume of his Canadian Establishment series, Peter C. Newman traces the elaborate personal interconnections among members of the power elite, illustrates how authority moves, and exposes the methods used for its self- perpetuation.

From Our Editors

During the 1970s, a loose confederacy of businessmen started to piece together Canada's underground government. They went about pursuing their status quo as secretively as possible, led by the belief that they knew better than both government and people. The Canadian Establishment is a shocking and factual account of the power they achieved. Peter C. Newman details the intricate network of powerbrokers and the relationships they had amongst themselves and others of influence. This is a stunning account of how the country is really run that will leave you wondering who's really in charge.
