An Excellent Guide ot Canadian Government & Politics

I've long had an interest in Canada, but have not been able to find a good intro guide to Canadian government, until now. "The Canadian Regime" is a very good book covering Canadian political institutions and the history and rationale behind them. It is a thin book (the actual text is less than 200 pages) written in the clear language of a textbook, that readers who do not have a political science background will understand.

The only reason why I'm not giving this book 5 stars is that I would have like to have seen more on provincial institutions and politics. It does, however, provide an in-depth anaylsis of the federal level. The British North American Act (Constitution Act of 1867) and the Constitution Act of 1982 are included in the appendix
