Coming Fall 2006
CARTER’S REBELLION
The Liberal Party has been defeated. Prime Minister Thorpe has lost
his riding and has been forced to resign from the leadership of the
Party. The New Liberal platform is dead and a hard right wing government
is in power.
It’s a long hard struggle for William Carter, MP of Toronto
Centre as he must decide how to support and protect the rights of
the people that voted him into power, and how best to survive in a
government that just became ugly.
Hard liners dislike moderates like Carter, and even in his own party,
Will must fight for his place. His support of Prime Minister Thorpe
and the summary execution of Thorpe’s political career force
Carter to make some tough choices. Does he stay with his Party, or
does he cross the floor? How far do loyalties stretch when those you
were loyal to are no longer there?
A rumbling in the West, and a simmering in the east, the question
of sovereignty or unity forces Andrew Highmore to investigate rumors
of a hard line Quebec separatist group that has dealings with a grass
roots West lobby group. Can he put the pieces together, and can he
count on Will’s floundering Political influence to keep Canada
together?
