The Best Laid Plans
Homepage
Description
The Best Laid Plans by Terry Fallis is an audiobook podcast. The author describes the story as “a satirical novel of Canadian politics.”
It recounts the unlikely and eventful alliance between a 30-something burnt out, jaded political staffer, and an older, cantankerous, engineering professor. Driven by a federal election and the life of the resulting minority conservative government, the novel moves between Ottawa, the national capital, and the small town of Cumberland, Ontario on the shores of the Ottawa River. While the characters and their exploits are often comical, serious ideas on politics and democracy underlie the fun.
