This provocative guide chronicles the fallout after the demerger vote
that realigned Quebec into five megacities and ignited fiery protests
across Canada. Written by an experienced local journalist, this work
sheds light on a tempestuous moment in Canadian history by analyzing the
false premises and baseless fear-mongering that underlie the case for
saving megacities, the unabashed war on democracy by mayors trying to
hang on to their new empires, and how citizens fighting to reclaim their
former towns are injecting new life into languishing democratic
traditions.
