It seems that there is something of a political realignment under way in Canada. In September 1984, a Tory government was elected to Ottawa with a significant share of the popular vote and a record number of seats. Since its election, the government has been plagued by a series of scandals implicating members of the cabinet and/or caucus in sleazy and corrupt activities. In addition, virtually every policy initiative of the government has served to enhance the position of big business and the wealthy at the expense of working people and the poor. This combination has resulted in a persistent and pervasive erosion of the Tory party's electoral base.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website
