John Boyko is the bestselling author of six books addressing Canada’s history and politics and a regular op. ed. contributor to newspapers across Canada While addressing a serious theme, the book sparkles with intriguing stories, fascinating characters, and in its many digressions, terrific humour Because Canada’s strength is its constant voyage of self-discovery and re-invention, the book’s value is its fresh perspective that will please some and antagonise others, while entertaining and challenging all Brings history, politics, power, and philosophy into a narrative bristling with sharp analysis and perspective sure to spark debate The book’s fundamental question is whether the Canada we enjoy today, so firmly resting on the foundation of yesterday’s triumphs and tragedies, is true to the vision of its founders and especially that of its primary architect and first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald
