Summary:
This book explores the formative years of the New City of Toronto: between 1995 and 2005, the period just before, during, and after metropolitan amalgamation. The authors analyze the political, economic, social, and environmental challenges of living in, and governing, a major metropolitan city region that bills itself as a multicultural, world-class city. The authors have a clear message: the city and its surrounding areas need new forms of regional governance. In working through the political and territorial conflicts of the past ten years, the book argues that Toronto is in need of new modes of regional democracy and decision-making that are both accountable to the rapidly changing and diversifying populations of the area, and effective in providing good government.

Canada is situated geographically, historically, and culturally between old empires (Great Britain and France) and a more recent one (the United States), as well as on the terrain of First Nations communities.

The Reader brings together for the first time in one volume recent writing in Canadian cultural studies and work by significant Canadian cultural analysts of the postwar era.
