Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning, bestselling author of While Canada Slept gives his view of a country wasted on Canadians. What is national character? What makes the Americans, the British, the French, the Russians, and the Chinese who they are? In this homogenized world, where globalization is a byword for a deadening sameness, why do peoples who live in the same region, use the same money, read the same books, and watch the same movies remain different from one another? As much as Canada may be seen as a copy, clone, or colony of America, we are unquestionably distinctive. It is a result of our geography, history, and politics. It comes from our demography and prosperity. Most of all, it comes from our character. In The Unfinished Canadian, Andrew Cohen delves into our past and present in search of our defining national characteristics. He questions hoary shibboleths, soothing mythologies, and old saws with irreverence, humour, and flintiness, unencumbered by our proverbial politeness (itself a great misperception) and our suffocating political correctness. We are so much, in so many shades, and it’s time we took an honest look at ourselves. In this provocative, passionate, and elegant book, Cohen argues that our mythology, our jealousy, our complacency, our apathy, our amnesia, and our moderation are all part of the unbearable lightness of being Canadian.
Download or read book The Untold History of Canada in Defense of Manifest Destiny written by Matthew Ehret and published by . This book was released on 2019-02-23 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada has existed in a state of "in-between-ness" since it was foundedby "United Empire Loyalists" over 200 years ago. At times Canada hascaptured a free republican spirit inspired by the best Constitutional traditions of the United States, but the majority of the time, has remainedstuck under the yolk of oligarchy.Though many figures fought valiantly to make Canada a nation independent of empire throughout the years, no historian has yet properly recognized the principle of Tragedy as the causal agency representing the unfolding of the Canadian experience until now.When the mind recognizes that the American Revolution was neversimply an "American" phenomenon, but rather a global phenomenon designed to manifest in reality an idea of a society foundedupon the Good, and consent of the governed for all human-kind, do the many layers of fallacy and Gordian knots created by generations of establishment historians come undone.In this second book of a series, we will set out to answer such vital questions as:Why did pro-American system forces fail to keep power in Canada after Lincoln's 1965 assassination?How were those renaissance-humanist concepts underlying the doctrine of Manifest Destity corrupted by slave owners and monarchists throughout the 19th century?Why did the rail line between Russia and America through British Columbia fail to succeed?What were the true reasons for the Alaska Purchase?How did Canada's National Policy break the formation of a world land-bridge of rail development after 1867?These questions and more will be answered in "The Untold History of Canada"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last foreign policy review was conducted in 1995 and there has been no thoroughgoing, decisive, public reconsideration of the significance of the terrorist attacks against the United States, the violent response in U.S. policy and action, wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, tests and failures of the United Nations Security Council, and the transformed quality of relations along the Canada-U.S. border. Still less has there been any open, extensive, government-led reassessment of the obligations of continental defence or the new and future accommodations required to realign Canada's relations with the United States and the rest of the world. Policy initiatives have instead looked temporizing and partial.
Download or read book Who Da Man written by Gamal Abdel-Shehid and published by Canadian Scholars’ Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a highly original approach to Black masculinities and sport in Canada. The book will be especially exciting for those interested in decolonisation, culture, and the intersection of identity, sport, and politics. Who Da Man attempts to account for the ways that Black Diasporic identifications intersect with the dominant misogyny and homophobia in contemporary men's sporting cultures. Abdel-Shehid suggests that thinking about Diaspora in the making of contemporary Black sporting cultures provides a more comprehensive framework than that which looks at sport solely within the framework of nations and nationalism. He further argues that Canadian hegemonic ideas and practices typically marginalise blackness and Black peoples. Thus, the author suggests, Black masculinities in sport are often connected to Diasporic locations. These connections can be either empowering or disempowering, requiring careful analysis to achieve full understanding of how things are being perceived, projected, and therefore implemented. "Who Da Man" offers a feminist and queer reading of Black masculinity, and suggests that thinking about Black sporting masculinities means paying attention to the ways that these larger discourses of racism, exclusion, and Diaspora shape Black masculinities. Moreover, the book asks to what extent homophobia and misogyny within men's sporting cultures influence contemporary understandings of Black masculinity.
