Book description
Canada is often seen as perhaps one of the most boring countries in the world. John Ralston Saul goes deeply into the Canadian experience - it's history, ideas, institutions, and personalities - to find a highly complex, unusual, and fascinating experiment. Canada is one of the few countries that was founded on reconciliation and flexibility, and that has survived through compromise and consensus. Through a number of wide-ranging positions on topics such as nationalism, aboriginal peoples, myth, ideology, and democracy, he brings profound thoughts that have changed the way people discuss Canada.
