Kickbacks and secret slush funds. Untendered contracts awarded for work that was never done. Millions of dollars that disappeared into the pockets of ad men with access to powerful politicians. These were the kinds of revelations that kept many Canadians riveted to their televisions in spring2005 as witnesses appeared before the commission of inquiry chaired by Justice John Gomery. Sometimes governments fall because of scandals like these. But, curiously perhaps, sometimes they survive in spite of them. The fundamental issue of political ethics, as the authors of this pioneering studyreveal, is the precise location of the boundary between right and wrong - or, at least, between what is acceptable and what is not.In a sense, the Gomery inquiry embodies the official response to a series of ethical transgressions. But what is more important, especially to strategists in the major political parties, is how Canadians react. The official response and the public one may be two different things entirely.THe political scientists whose work forms the basis of A Question of Ethics explore four types of unethical behaviour: conflict of interest, gifts and gains, patronage, and lying. Based on interviews with more than 1,400 Canadians, this book maps public attitudes to these difficult issues. Theresult is a comprehensive picture of what Canadians expect of their public officials, from the kind of conduct they will tolerate, to the kind they feel discredits the system itself. These findings are crucial because, after all, it is Canadians - not commissioners - who will determine the fate ofgovernments.Revised and updated to include information on the Gomery inquiry, A Question of Ethics will appeal to anyone intrigued by the ethical pitfalls, dilemmas and choices inherent in political life.

This comprehensive introduction to masculine identity politics in Canada offers a range of viewpoints, narratives, and evidence about the contested nature of masculinity. Drawing primarily on author Michael Atkinson's ethnographic research of Canadian men over the past decade, the text explores the idea of masculinity in crisis and the attempt by many men to move beyond this perceived crossroads. Atkinson reviews the historical links between masculinity and social power, the cultural associations between masculinity and violence, the role of masculinity in sports cultures, the problems of masculinity for young men, the mass mediation of masculinity and misandry, and the rise of alternative and 'feminine' masculinities. Never before have men's social roles, statuses, and identities been so open to cultural critique and redefinition; Deconstructing Men and Masculinities provides an engaging sociological narrative to guide readers through this ground-breaking area of study.

It is 1956 and Hemingway has spent much of the year at his home in Key West, hiding from tourists and autograph hunters. But a friend’s sudden death rouses Papa from his idyll. To say that the cause of death is suspicious is to put it lightly. It’s not every day that a part-time smuggler is impaled on a harpoon. A witty, literate, and action-filled debut, Hemingway Deadlights catches the famed author in his later years, battling to solve the injustices in a flawed world.
