"What does ideology mean in Canada today? This question grounds the authors' study of the evolution of uniquely Canadian perspectives of the ideologies discussed. Clearly written and accessible, "Political Ideologies in Canada" explores the origins of ideologies, clarifying shifts in understanding and application in Canada's pre- and post-Confederation eras. By considering ideologies that, while not new, are frequently overlooked, the authors offer an indispensable guide to helping us comprehend the future development of politics in Canada. An excellent book for undergraduate students."-Yale Belanger, Professor, Political Science, University of Lethbridge, Royal Society of Canada, College of New Scholars, Artists, and Scientists (2017-2024)

"Colin Campbell and Colin J. Campbell challenge the traditional left-right dichotomy, illuminating the dynamic interplay of divergent ideological forces in the Canadian political context. Leveraging the Hartz-Horowitz thesis, the authors demonstrate how migration patterns have shaped a unique constellation of conservative, liberal, and socialist influences, that is distinct from the US. Dedicated chapters explore the burgeoning influence of feminist, ecological, and Indigenous ideological perspectives. This timely and meticulously researched volume invites scholars and students to re-evaluate their understanding of Canadian political thought, offering a comprehensive and nuanced framework for future research and study."-Jonathan Havercroft, Professor of International Political Theory, Politics and International Relations, University of Southampton
