You don't have to agree with everything Noah Richler says -- I don't -- but you must take him seriously." -- Margaret MacMillan, author of Paris 1919 "A tonic to the spirit, Richler's book explores the rootedness of Canadian values and connects them to the experience of life in an enormous and damn lucky country." -- James Laxer, author of Tecumseh and Brock "Noah Richler has written an important book of great clarity, insight and courage. This book deserves to be read and discussed in every political office, classroom, book club and legion hall in the country." -- Ron Graham, author of The Last Act
