• Hurtig is one of Canada's best-known economic nationalists. He was a founding member of the COMMITTEE FOR AN INDEPENDENT CANADA and in 1985 he was founding chairman of the Council of Canadians. A critic of the high degree of foreign ownership and control in Canada, he campaigned vigorously against the FREE TRADE Agreement with the US. His first book, The Betrayal of Canada, was the best-selling book in Canada in 1991. In 1992 he was the driving force behind a new political organization, the National Party, a party committed to nationalist and populist goals. Hurtig was selected the party's leader and wrote its policy statement, A New and Better Canada. He failed in his legal attempt to be included in the national leaders' debates in the 1993 federal election campaign.

Mel outlines the disasters back in the 90's of Canada and its Foreign ownership and the brain drain that results... these are books that have been tossed from libraries .. I happened upon The Betrayal of Canada and was shocked to see the numbers.. I recommend all his books to anyone interested in seeing how far we have been sold down the river !!!!!!
