Beschreibung des Verlags
Edward McWhinney, The Governor General and the Prime Ministers: The Making and Unmaking of Governments (Vancouver: Ronsdale Press, 2005), 193 pp. The title understates the book's objective. Edward McWhinney, professor and former MP, attempts to summarize the powers and duties of the Canadian Governor General and provincial lieutenant governors. He draws on federal and provincial precedents, as well as case studies from other Commonwealth countries. For a subject that can be dense and esoteric, McWhinney's writing style manages to be crisp and engaging. The book is weakened, however, by factual omissions and some dubious conclusions.
