"As a former journalist and daily columnist in Saskatchewan, Eisler . . . has written a very clear and important book. . . . It will gain a wide readership and spark a lot of debate." Ken Rasmussen, director of Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy, University of Regina "This book makes a serious advance to this field/area of interestit fills a critical whole in our knowledge of SK politics." James Farney , author of Social Conservatives and Conservative Party Politics in North America

"Those who think Canada is 'progressive,' Alberta 'conservative' or Quebec 'left wing' just don't get it. Eisler has written a field manual for transformational politics that should be read anywhere insurgents struggle against entrenched and seemingly unassailable electoral machines." Brian Lee Crowley , Managing Director, Macdonald-Laurier Institute "Weaving together the interplay of regional, national, and global issues, Dale Eisler has produced an insightful and compelling analysis of Saskatchewan's transformation." The Right Honourable Paul Martin

"Dale's career as a political journalist, followed by many years as a high ranking federal public servant, have provided him with tremendous insights. His experiences have placed him in a very unique position and allowed him to delve deeply into the key and underlying factors and events that have led to the recent transformations in Saskatchewan. Specifically, Dale shines a light on the economic and political scene, and, in particular, the dramatic -- almost seismic -- shift in political popularity from a socially progressive, left of center party, to one that espouses strongly held right wing values as individual rights and freedoms. Dale's book will be of interest to students of politics, young and old." Honourable Wayne G. Wouters P.C., O.C.
