Zusammenfassung:"Much of Canada's modern identity emerged from the innovative social policies and ambitious foreign policy of Louis St-Laurent's Liberal government. His extraordinarily creative administration made decisions that still resonate today: on health care, pensions, and housing; on infrastructure and intergovernmental issues; and, further afield, on developing Canada's global middle-power role and resolving the Suez Crisis. Yet St-Laurent remains an enigmatic figure. The Unexpected Louis St-Laurent fills a great void in Canadian political history, bringing together well-established and emerging scholars to investigate the far-reaching influence of the politician who presided over the last stage of the longest uninterrupted run in power of any Canadian federal party."--
