Author, editor and "passionate Canadian" Hurtig uses statistics and facts to provide his fellow countrymen with a more accurate survey of life in Canada that often contradicts modern attitudes as well as media impressions. The author uses accurate data to provide a more realistic picture of Canada in terms of taxation, health care, wages, big business investment, education, culture, trade, foreign aid, energy policy and government policy. Appendices include data on health care expenditures, public and private health care costs, poverty statistics and specific comparisons of these figures with the United States. Douglas Gibson Books is an imprint of McClelland & Stewart. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
