Desmond Morton, one of Canada's most
highly respected historians, is keenly aware of the ways in which
our past informs the present, and in one compact and engrossing
volume, he pulls off the remarkable feat of bringing it all
together -- from the First Nations before the arrival of the
Europeans, to Confederation, to Stephen Harper's prime
ministership, to Justin Trudeau's victory in the 2015 election. His
acute observations on the Diefenbaker era, the effects of the
post-war influx of immigrants, the Trudeau years and the
constitutional crisis, the Quebec referendum, the rise of the
Canadian Alliance, and Canada under Harper's governance, all
provide an invaluable background to understanding the way Canada
works today and its direction in years to come.
