Summary Annotation When social democratic politicians in the 1990s moderated their ideas and policies as part of a turn towards the 'third way, ' they were assailed as traitors to the cause. 'Remaining Loyal' demonstrates that while third way social democrats in Quebec and Saskatchewan supplemented certain social democratic ideas with more right-wing economic programs, their public policies remained true to the original spirit of social democracy. Drawing on a range of archival resources, David McGrane traces the evolution of social democracy in Quebec and Saskatchewan from their respective origins in social Catholic thought and agrarian protest movements at the turn of the 20th century to the most recent Parti Québécois and New Democratic Party governments
