Facts, Not Fear is a guidebook countering the irresponsible claims of environmental extremists, giving a more balanced view of the many environmental issues encountered today. In simple, non-technical language, authors Michael Sanera and Jane Shaw explain the myths and facts concerning many major environmental topics, and show you how to set the record straight. 
Each of the 20 topical chapters was reviewed by acknowledged experts, and include answers to questions about the environment commonly asked by children and suggestions for easy-to-do activities.

With his public choice theory, Nobel laureate James Buchanan pointed out how public interest groups, including public servants, end up working for themselves at the expense of the public. The US Environmental Protection Agency has long fulfilled this precition. In fact, a 1980 blue ribbon panel concluded that the EPA's work was rife with what became known as "junk science": A habit of selectively citing data designed to support preconceived and self-serving ambitions and policy goals.

Tax Reform in Canada: Our Path to Greater Prosperity

Grubel, Herbert G. [Editor]

Fixing Canadian Democracy points to a variety of ways to improve our governance system. The book is the result of a major Fraser Institute conference on democratic reform during which some of the finest practitioners and thinkers from British Columbia and Ottawa were brought together for presentations on selecting and empowering representatives, the place and limits of direct democracy, constitutional constraints, and how to make any of the above a reality. 
The book begins by focusing on three of the most basic principles that are seldom mentioned at all by democratic reformers: the optimal size of government, subsidiarity, and constitutional constraints.

Headlines about fisheries fiascos in Canada are nothing new. What have not made the headlines, however, are management changes that have saved many of Canada's smaller fisheries such as halibut, sablefish, and sea cucumber. These fisheries have changed to a system of individual quotas, in which shares of the catch are granted to the fishermen before they go out in their boats. This allocation system has transformed these fisheries, many of which are now considered models of sustainability, profitability, and safety. This book details the use, and evaluates the effectiveness, of individual quotas in ten fisheries on Canada's Pacific Coast.

Canadian Health Policy Failures: What's Wrong? Who Gets Hurt? Why Nothing Changes

The estate of the Indian people of Canada is the most important moral question in federal politics. The responsibility flows directly to each of us as voters. This book talks about what we, Canadians generally, can do to understand this and what governments can do to discharge their responsibilities. The standard model for thinking about Indian policy is fundamentally wrong, giving too much weight to the collective and too little to the individual. It presumes and enforces a relationship between the Indian individual and relevant collectives (both Indian and state) that is biased against individual free-dom and choice. This relationship has produced the adverse social outcomes in health, education, life span, incomes, housing, substance abuse, violence, imprisonment and so on universally criti-cized by all. The relationship between the individual and the collective has been the major force in human life from time immemorial but the character of that relationship has evolved over time. In one dark corner of this long drama, a special case of the relationship between individual and collective has been playing out in Canada in the lives of native Indians. In this particular corner, the collective assumes an impor-tance unthinkable in the mainstream. Indian policy, imposed by the mainstream on some Canadi-ans Indians has built for them a world that is both a fortress and a prison. The effects on the indi-viduals within that system have been profound. I believe that there is a growing concern about this. If so, there is an opening to a better future. But in spite of good will, pernicious and counter-productive incentives remain to burden an entire people, not just as trailing legacies of the past but as current active goals of governments and other entities in the system. The fatal defects in outcomes are not redeemed by the fact that the intentions are in general of the best. Some commentators will say with reason that this paper challenges some of the most basic assumptions of established Indian policy. This challenge would not be necessary if established Indian policy was working well, for Indians or anyone else.
