Title: Losing control
Description: "Shedding a bright light on a dark side of Canadian politics, Losing Control critically examines Canada&#x2019;s social conservative movement and discovers a reactionary, anti-reform insurgency of evangelical Protestants and Roman Catholics. Tom Warner chronicles the religious right&#x2019;s advocacy on a range of moral issues&#x2013;from abortion and the regulation of consensual sex to same-sex marriage and moral instruction in the public schools. He finds a movement desperate not to lose control of the state&#x2019;s moral agenda in an age of Charter rights. This timely and important book raises truly alarming questions about the close relationship between a resilient, never-say-die social conservative constituency and the political direction of the federal Conservative Party."--Publisher.
