" A refreshing ego-boosting salute to a surprising number of Canadian firsts ... it's fun to read and invaluable for research." Knowlton Nash
Canada Firsts |
The entertaining compendium Canada Firsts
offers a series of quick flashes which, taken together, begin to form a picture
of that elusive Canadian Identity. It is ironic (but quintessentially Canadian)
that the book is the brain-child of activist American Ralph Nader, who said he
hoped the book would become a horn-blowing manual for his self-effacing
Canadian friends, and an illustration to his fellow Americans of the
distinctiveness of their neighbour to the north.
