SYNOPSIS: Brian Mulroney, watch out!/prenez garde! It's not only John Turner and Ed Broadbent who are after your job! Here are sixty more potential candidates. They were only asked to write what they would do if they were prime minister, but some have already assumed the mantle of office. "My government . . . " they write. "My residence at 24 Sussex Drive" (which, of course, will be tastefully redecorated at public expense). All of us have some beef about what's wrong and some ideas about what we would do to set things right, but in our wildest dreams we wouldn't have thought of some of the solutions offered in this collection. There's everything here, from challenging experimental policies to exciting and practical suggestions, which sound so sensible that one wonders why they have never been tried. And there's scarcely an aspect of Canadian concern that isn't analysed, dissected, and reformed. Free trade, bilingualism, income tax, unemployment, native rights, the Senate, day care, the nuclear threat . . . you name it. Of course, all the would-be PMs don't always agree on the answers. There's a wide range of viewpoint between the opening essay by Doris Anderson and the last one by Peter Worthington. Some of the potential PMs offer thoughtfully devised programs to solve our economic woes. Others are more interested in cultural problems. Some would increase the CBC's budget, while one would curb the CBC, taking it out of news and commentary (since a government-supported network shouldn't be into that type of thing). Then there's the PM who would dock the pay of politicians and senior civil servants by the same percentage as the rise in inflation. There's certainly no lack of ideas - practical, visionary, vengeful, hopeful, humorous. All in all, this is a fascinating and delightful book, entertaining yet serious, with searing political criticism underlying even the most light-hearted of the essays. It contains so many excellent suggestions that it should, perhaps, be required reading for all bureaucrats, cabinet ministers, and incumbents. Meanwhile, it offers much stimulating and thought-provoking reading for all who care about Canada's future and who want Canada to be well on track as it moves towards the next century.
