Max Cameron
November 03rd, 2026
UBC political science prof, Max Cameron, is known for his work on the dangers to democratization, one of which is polarization. “We are nowhere near as polarized as countries that have lost—or seriously damaged—their democracies,” he writes in Divided we fall: how we can resist polarizing pressures and strengthen our identity as citizens (James Lorimer $27.95). “But Canadians can ill afford to be complacent.” COVID-19 deepened divisions here, the Freedom Convoy showed how angry some people were, and the Conservative Party lurched further to the angry right. Cameron sets out how Canadians can resist toxic discussion, rebuild trust and renew our shared civic culture. 9781459420656
