The Massey Lectures are co-sponsored by CBC Radio, House of Anansi Press, and Massey College in the University of Toronto. The series was created in honour of the Right Honourable Vincent Massey, former Governor General of Canada, and was inaugurated in 1961 to provide a forum on radio where major contemporary thinkers could address important issues of our time.
This book comprises the 1993 Massey Lectures, “Democracy on Trial,” which were first broadcast in November-December 1993 as part of CBC Radio’s Ideas series. The executive producer of the series was Bernie Lucht.
