Great Questions of Canada.(Brief article)(Book review)
Great Questions of Canada Edited by Rudyard Griffiths Key Porter Books, Toronto, 2007 216 pp., $22.95 paperback
Originally released in 1999 as a project of the Dominion Institute, Great Questions of Canada returns with additional contributions from four more writers on two new topics. Authors and historians such as Neil Bissoondath, Charlotte Gray, Peter C. Newman, and Jack Granatstein are paired off
to tackle great questions such as: Does history matter? Are we a nation of institutions or ideas? When Canada speaks, does the world listen? Each writer produces an essay, then responds to their topic partner in a second shorter piece.
