Více o knize
Renowned Canadian author Mel Hurtig has meticulously analyzed global statistics to reveal how Canada has drastically changed for the worse over the past twenty years. The findings are often astonishing and challenge the perception of who we are as Canadians. For instance, while the media suggests Canadians face high taxes compared to the U.S., we actually rank 23rd among OECD countries. The book builds a series of shocking revelations, such as Canada’s voter turnout ranking at 109th and our position of 54th in the number of physicians per 100,000 people. Alarmingly, we rank 126th out of 146 countries in pollution reduction. Internal comparisons highlight two critical themes: the failure of Canadian big business to reinvest record profits into the country and the alarming selloff of national assets. Hurtig’s exploration spans various aspects of Canadian life, including health, wages, productivity, and media concentration, which is among the highest in the world. His compelling message emphasizes that recognizing these truths is essential for addressing the troubling direction in which Canada is heading.
