The use of the word tyranny in the title is no hyperbole: Big Oil's stranglehold on dictatorships and democracies alike, [Antonia Juhasz] argues, has allowed it to wage a ruthless campaign against all competitors, civil societies, human rights, the environment and any energy sources that might supplant it. The most glaring example of this has been the recent surge and drop in oil prices. While many pundits and analysts have argued that these fluctuations are simply a natural response in the economy to supply and demand, Juhasz shows that these arguments obscure the extent of Big Oil's ability to manipulate pricing. While the book is extremely timely, Juhasz may well regret that she didn't hold off publication for a few more months: Many of the banks she names as heavily invested in Big ...
The senator's political resumé mirrors [Pierre Elliott Trudeau]'s scant three-year stint in federal politics before running for the nation's top job, with both candidates portraying this lack of experience as an asset in a political world stifled by backroom deals and insider back rubs. Trudeau campaigned in the 1968 federal election with the theme, "One Canada, One People." He was championing further unification of English and French-speaking Canada. During the primaries, [Obama] struggled for the votes of white working-class Americans, watching as rival Hillary Clinton, the wife of a former president with millions of dollars in assets, trumped him state after state in that voter category.

With considerable understatement, [Peter Lougheed] recalled the tyranny of the National Energy Program, the despised NEP. "The issues we saw before -- and I was involved in many of them -- were important." Those "issues" resulted in convoys of drilling rigs and their crews moving south, policy-induced unemployment in the province on an unprecedented scale, widespread and deliberate corporate and personal bankruptcy, and unmeasured social grief and despair (including suicide) as Alberta families, not Ottawa bureaucrats, suffered the consequences. Recall again the NEP. What outraged our erstwhile fellow citizens in the St. Lawrence valley was the notion that Alberta was an equal member of Confederation. At the very least this assertion violated the mythology of "two founding peoples." I ...
