Reviews

David Siegel, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, Brock University:

"At last we have a set of systematic, comparative studies of Canadian municipal elections. The combination of the descriptions of campaign issues and the analysis of voting behaviour makes this a gold mine for anyone interested in municipal politics. It is both an excellent contribution to the academic literature and easily accessible to the casual reader."

Royce Koop, Professor of Political Studies, University of Manitoba:

"Canadians pay far too little attention to local politics compared to federal or provincial politics. But this highly interesting and readable account of recent elections in Canada’s ‘big cities’ may help to change that."

Kristin R. Good, Associate Professor of Political Science, Dalhousie University:

"Drawing from a unique survey of voting behaviour in Canadian municipal elections, Big City Elections in Canada speaks to fundamental debates in the broader voting behaviour literature and about the nature of local politics. This volume is a must-read for students of municipal politics, elections, and voting behaviour as well as Canadian politics in general."
