Commentaries: On Conservatism, Modern Liberalism, and the Nation-State (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781772442786)

These commentaries comprise a damning indictment of the globalism, moral relativism, post-nationalism, and identity politics of modern liberalism as embodied in Canada's current federal government. Author Robert W. Passfield argues that modern liberalism, with its goal of a world government, open borders, and the free movement of goods and people within an egalitarian world order, is thoroughly destructive of the nation-state, which embodies the history, culture, and political liberties of a people; and that, in Canada, Tory conservatism provides a viable alternative for mounting a defence of Canada's traditional values. This is a book that conservatives everywhere will find intellectually stimulating, and that will give modern liberals pause for thought in contemplating the world that they are creating.
