In Blue-Green Province, Mark Winfield takes a long-overdue look at the crucial relationship between Ontario's environmental policy and its politics and economy. Covering the period from the Progressive Conservative "dynasty" that dominated Ontario politics from the mid-1940s to the mid-1980s, through the subsequent Peterson, Rae, Harris, Eves, and McGuinty governments, Winfield offers a trenchant analysis of the effects of these administrations' dramatically different ideologies on Ontario's environment and politics. Timely and original, Blue-Green Province is the first comprehensive study of environmental policy in Ontario. It will be welcomed by anyone with an interest in Ontario's environmental and economic future.

Praise for this book

The first full-length scholarly analysis of its kind for Ontario. The focus on the environment and the comprehensive manner in which the author links environment policy to broader currents in the political economy of the province make this study stand apart ... A very important piece of work that deserves wide dissemination.
- Gregory J. Inwood, professor of Politics and Public Administration, Ryerson University
Rock-solid scholarship that makes a very significant and original contribution to the field. This book provides a comprehensive integration of all the work on environmental policy in Ontario. To some extent, it deals with matters of life and death; less dramatically, it relates to the whole future livelihood, economic and environmental, of what was once the central engine of Canada's economy. ?
