When the Gods Changed

When the Gods Changed: The Death of Liberal Canada is veteran Canadian political journalist Peter C. Newman's account of the Liberal Party's historic collapse in the 2011 federal election. Initially conceived while Michael Ignatieff was Liberal leader, the project evolved into a campaign post-mortem and a broader examination of the party's decline, the rise and fall of Ignatieff, and the political realignment that produced a Conservative majority.
