Surviving Government presents an understanding of Canadian local government for the individual citizen, and how each citizen can influence, modify, and survive the decisions, actions, and effects of government.
The work is in four volumes, each concentrating on one of four aspects of government: its powers, its functions, taxation, and political integrity.
Its purpose is to provide an overview of the impact of public service, and the difficulty, but not the impossibility, of progress in a political context, with illustrations, some technical and some biographical, of how meaningful progress can be achieved, and what value such progress has for citizens and their community.
Part One, "Municipal Powers," reviews Canadian democracy, provides a portrait of a small town (St. Stephen, New Brunswick), and discusses federalism, limitations of power, local government autonomy, and the nature of municipal policy and operations.
