Extraordinary Canadians: Stories from the Heart of Our Nation by Peter Mansbridge

5.0

Every chapter was compelling and interesting in a different way. To name a few, Mansbridge and Bulgutch managed to capture race, LGBTQ+, environmental, international relations, farming, and generational issues, successes, and barriers (old and ever-present) that shape Canada. I was just as interested in the chapter about Hope for Wildlife as I was the war in Afghanistan. The authors do not shy away from speaking to the systemic issues Canada still possesses, but highlights the patchwork of diverse folk that make Canada, Canada. A joy to read.
