Synopsis
We Are Canada is a short story of Canada that begins at the end of the last ice age and carries through to the present day. It is an 80 page history that challenges three Canadian myths: that the French were a conquered people, that the First Nations were innocent bystanders in the formation of the country and that Canada had only two founding peoples. According to Rikia Saddy, Canada has been multicultural from the start. An informative, easy read, We Are Canada will change the way the country is perceived.
