I hadn't prepared for that, although I wrote a comprehensive exam on that about 25 years ago during my Ph.D., so I'm stretching back into my memory.
Very quickly off the top of my head, I think most policy analysts think that the “Great Society” was a failure. I'm thinking specifically of Professor Aaron Wildavsky, who was the first dean of the graduate school of public policy at UC Berkeley. He was a very brilliant individual. He came to Carleton University a few years ago before he passed away. He spoke about the Great Society and went into—call it—the pathologies of the Great Society. There were a lot of failures.
I know this sounds jingoistic on my part, but I do think that we've adopted a more balanced approach in Canada.
