Power Trap examines how partisan ambitions and entrenched rivalries left Canada’s opposition fragmented after the 2011 election, enabling Stephen Harper to govern with a parliamentary majority despite a minority of votes.

Drawing on interviews with politicians and insiders, journalist Paul Adams traces the institutional incentives, personal animosities and strategic calculations that make cooperation difficult between the New Democrats and the Liberals.

Adams offers concrete options for building a viable centre‑left alternative, from organizational reforms to smarter messaging and electoral strategy.

• Interviews with political insiders
• Analysis of party dynamics and incentives
• Practical proposals for uniting the opposition
