The article discusses the book "Modernization and the Canadian State," edited by Daniel Glenday, Hubert Guindon, and Allan Turowetz. The book puts together a useful collection of articles for courses such as Canadian social issues, Canadian society, economic sociology, ethnic-minority relations and introduction to sociology. The papers are grouped into five sections namely "The Impact of the Multinational Corporation," "Regionalism and Community," "Canadians and Québécois," "Ethnicity and Marginality," and "Modernization and the Urban Poor." Guindon's article argues that Trudavian federal policy has been wrongheaded in its attempt to solve the French-Canadian "problem" by expanding francophone opportunities outside Quebec. Several of the commissioned articles justify the price of admission for any interested scholar not on the complimentary copy list. According to Guindon "The federal state has followed a language policy that can only be described as a political Irritation for English Canada which is entirely irrelevant to a modernizing Quebec."
