FIX CANADA

by JEFF WILLERTON

Author, Advocate, Entrepreneur

Jeff Willerton is a layman who fell into writing a column for three small north-central Alberta weekly newspapers in the late ‘90s when freedom of speech was still a thing in this country and newspapers more than mere arms of the state. In 2000 he collected those columns into what became FIX CANADA (2000-2026) now in its 23rd edition.

THE PROSE

FIX CANADA (2000-2024) IS BOTH A CAUSE AND A BOOK

The cause is self-explanatory. The book is a collection of clear and penetrating essays written by the unabashedly conservative Jeff Willerton. Each essay is followed by an update on the issues covered therein, and there's enough history in the mix to make things make sense. As one reader said, “It's like Willerton has taken historical facts and current events, connected them together like pieces of a puzzle and presented it in a way that anyone can understand.”

A gentleman claims to have read the 1st edition five times; a woman, the 3rd, six; and a reader of the 9th edition insists that the only other author he’s read seven times is Tolkien. The message in the 18th “should be shouted from the rooftops”; the 21st was described as “Stellar!”; Joanne Ward was referring to the 22nd edition in the heading above; and the 23rd both qualitatively and informationally takes this project to a whole ‘nuther level.

People have read early editions five, six, seven times. A reader claims to have read the 16th edition between ten and fifteen times; the message in the 18th “should be shouted from the rooftops” according to another; the COVID-19th edition was the atomic bomb compared to the series of conventional weapons that preceded it; and the 22nd is the book all the earlier editions wanted to be when they grew up.
