Reviews"Amusing, enlightening and Canadian, and it deftly explores the Machiavellian machinations of Ottawa's political culture." - Globe and Mail "This is a funny book that could only have been written by someone with firsthand knowledge of politics in Canada, including its occasionally absurd side. This is a great read for anyone thinking of running for office, and especially reassuring for those who have decided not to." The Hon. Allan Rock, former Justice Minister and Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations, WINNER OF THE STEPHEN LEACOCK MEDAL FOR HUMOUR WINNER OF CBC CANADA READS "Amusing, enlightening--and Canadian, and it deftly explores the Machiavellian machinations of Ottawa's political culture." -- The Globe and Mail "This is a funny book that could only have been written by someone with firsthand knowledge of politics in Canada, including its occasionally absurd side.

Allan Rock, former Justice Minister and Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations "Terry Fallis has found the cure for Canada's political malaise: a stubborn, old, irreverent Scotsman with nothing to lose. Until Angus McLintock walks out of fiction and into public office, where he would surely save the nation, the only place to find him is right here among The Best Laid Plans ." --Tom Allen, CBC Radio host and author of The Gift of the Game, "Amusing, enlightening - and Canadian, and it deftly explores the Machiavellian machinations of Ottawa's political culture." - Globe and Mail "This is a funny book that could only have been written by someone with firsthand knowledge of politics in Canada, including its occasionally absurd side.

SynopsisWINNER OF CBC CANADA READS WINNER OF THE STEPHEN LEACOCK MEDAL FOR HUMOUR Here's the set up: A burnt-out politcal aide quits just before an election--but is forced to run a hopeless campaign on the way out. He makes a deal with a crusty old Scot, Angus McLintock--an engineering professor who will do anything, anything, to avoid teaching English to engineers--to let his name stand in the election. No need to campaign, certain to lose, and so on. Then a great scandal blows away his opponent, and to their horror, Angus is elected. He decides to see what good an honest M.P. who doesn't care about being re-elected can do in Parliament. The results are hilarious--and with chess, a hovercraft, and the love of a good woman thrown in, this very funny book has something for everyone., WINNER OF CBC CANADA READS Here's the set up: A burnt-out politcal aide quits just before an election--but is forced to run a hopeless campaign on the way out.
