In A Civilized Revolution, Gordon Wilson outlines the changes necessary if British Columbia is to prosper in the 21st century. Central to Wilson’s vision is a new approach to the management of our natural resources that keeps wealth within our province by directing the bounty of our forests, farms, mines and ocean to local mills, processors and value-added industries. Wilson argues that Canada’s crucial social programmes can be retained with a modified delivery system. Also included are analyses of Native land claims and Quebec’s proposals for sovereignty.
Wilson was born on January 2, 1949 and is a former BC politician. He served as leader of the Liberal Party of BC (1987 - 1993), became founder and leader of the Progressive Democratic Alliance (1993 - 1999) and then joined the NDP where he served in the provincial cabinet. He also ran as a candidate in the 2000 BC New Democratic Party leadership race, which was won by Ujjal Dosanjh.
Gordon Wilson lives in Powell River.
