Corporate Control
About This Book
How far does corporate dominance reach in Canada? This is the second book in Nora Loreto's Canada in Decline series, and it examines the corporate web that has been spun around the country's economy, society and politics. A familiar joke says Canada is three mining companies in a trench coat, or three oil companies, or three telecom companies. It lands because it is close to the truth: a handful of corporations hold a disproportionate share of power over Canadian democracy. Corporate profits are at record highs and the gap between rich and poor has never been wider, while Canadians contend with inflation, an affordability crisis, a housing crisis and wages that do not cover basic needs. Politicians have promised to deal with this pressure cooker, but they are too constrained by corporate power to confront the roots of the problems. The first book in the series looked at the rise and fall of Canada's social safety net. In Corporate Control, activist, author and journalist Nora Loreto goes further, asking why Canadian politicians seem so powerless in the face of corporate Canada.
