After earning a number of higher degrees, including a Doctorate in Literature and Philosophy from Stanford University, he taught at York University in Toronto, and then decided to pursue a career in business, from which he retired in 1988 to devote his time to writing. Beginning in 1990 and in quick succession, he produced a string of bestselling books, including The Trouble With Canada, and The War Against The Family. He was then the managing editor of Canada's Founding Debates - now an historical landmark. On the heels of that he published The Trouble With Democracy and also The Book of Absolutes. And now, looking back over twenty years, we have The Trouble With Canada ... Still! His most recent political work is The Great Divide: Why Liberals and Conservatives Will Never, Ever Agree (2015), a timely analysis of the underlying ideological stresses and strains that are presently producing so much political disagreement and policy conflict on the surface of everyday life. At this crucial time in our history, William Gairdner presents fresh and bold insights helping readers understand the successes and strains in their midst and in Western civilization as a whole.
