Review Quotes

A must read not just for political junkies but for anyone who cares about the people and politics that built this province - written in a readable, totally absorbing way.

An affectionate recounting of the era.

Steve Paikin is an exception, just as his book on former Ontario premier Bill Davis is exceptional.

The book's examination of Davis's lengthy political run is, in many ways, a thing of beauty.
