The 1867 Project: Why Canada Should Be Cherished—Not Cancelled

by Mark Milke

Description

From assaults on historical figures such as John A. Macdonald to cancel culture and charges that Canada is a brutal nation-state, the country that every generation and every immigrant built is now facing routine and corrosive attacks. How did this happen? In this new book, twenty critical thinkers provide answers: we are awash in relentless grievance narratives and utopians who expect Canada's history to be perfect. The rise of critical theory, identity politics, and ideological politics in show more the education system also play a part. The authors challenge the naysayers and their caustic criticisms, but also offer a positive path forward. They show how truth-telling, informed history, and renewing a Canada where citizens reject divisions based on colour and gender, and instead unite around laudable, time-tested ideas will create a freer, flourishing Canada for all. show less

A very thought provoking book that should be read by every Canadian. An antidote to the negativity that seems to prevail when ever someone talks about Canadian culture and history.
