The Canadian Federal Election of 2006 is a comprehensive analysis of all aspects of the campaign and election that ended the 12-year Liberal reign in Canadian politics and saw the House of Commons shift from one minority government to another. The chapters, composed by leading political writers, commentators, and pollsters, examine the strategies, successes, and blunders of the major players — the Conservatives, Liberals, New Democrats, Bloc Quois, and Greens — and also explore the role of the media coverage and the performance and influence of public opinion polls.
Special features in this definitive volume explore the way candidates are nominated and the changes in the legislation governing Canadian federal elections. Finally, the book includes a detailed analysis of voting patterns and the rate of voter participation.

reviewed The Canadian Federal Election Of 2006 on April 03, 2012 The Canadian Federal Election Of 2006
Although she did not intend for this book to develop the background as the why the Liberal Party crashed and burned, Hebert's knowledge of Canadian politics did just that for me! With jems like, "On January 23, 2006, every sovereignist chicken came home to roost--in Stephen Harper's hen house," (50)I couldn't help but enjoy Hebert's commentary on Harper's rise in Quebec in the 2006 election. Even though the NDP took over, I think that Hebert's book was an excellent read for anyone interested in Canadian politics, especially if you want a better understanding of the history of the Canada-Quebec relationship.
Hebert's writing style is light and it almost feels like she is in the living room chatting with you, instead of trying to write over you. I have to admit that I love watching her on TV on the CBC because she is extremely intelligent and very well-spoken. That comes across in her book.
Also, Hebert hits on some interesting points that had me laughing, looking up information online, and saying "yes!" out loud. For instance, she has some great insight into the profession of politics, particularly when it comes to women in politics: "At the very time when women have come into their own in the upper levels of the professional job market, the image of the career politician has plummeted" (136).
Anyone interested in Canadian politics should have a look at this book. Herbert is a gold-mine of Canadian political history and insight, and does it all with a Quebecios slant.
