Description:

Young readers get a close-up look at the political process and explore all aspects of a federal election — from the day Parliament is dissolved to the day after the polls close. Author Linda Granfield charts the evolution of elections up to and including the 2006 election, when a candidate’s media image can make or break the campaign. With illustrations by Craig Terlson, and written in a fun and informative manner by Granfield, Canada Votes let kids in on how voting lists are now compiled electronically, what issue the last national referendum decided and more.

Hit the campaign trail and read about:

voter discrimination in Canada, and the long struggle to end it
nurses in World War I who helped win Canadian women the right to vote
elections today (and why they’re a bit like rock concerts!)
colourful terms used to describe the political process such as “plank,” “gerrymander” and “dark horse”

From speeches in rowdy taverns to the podcasts and blogs of today, Canada Votes charts the fascinating evolution of the electoral process in Canada. You don’t have to wait until you’re an adult to get caught up in the excitement!

This attractive book is suitable for ages 10 to 14 (Grades 5-9).

Price and availability subject to change. Shipping and applicable taxes extra.
