Daniel Addison wants to quit Canadian politics for good and become a professor at the University of Ottawa but before he can Daniel must find a candidate and run a campaign for the Liberals in a PC stronghold territory.

This enjoyable story follows Angus’ run for the riding of Cumberland-Prescott to his adventures on Parliament Hill. With hints of serious undertones about politics and democracy, this is an endearing novel, with very likeable characters in believable political situations. This is a must read if you like satirical novels or Canadian politics.
