À propos de cet audio
Canada is not one nation, but three: English Canada, Quebec, and First Nations. Yet as a country Canada is very successful, in part because it maintains national diversity through bilingualism, multiculturalism, and federalism. Alongside this contemporary openness Canada also has its own history to contend with; with a legacy of broken treaties and residential schools for its Indigenous peoples, making reconciliation between Canada and First Nations an ongoing journey, not a destination.
Drawing on history, politics, and literature, this very short introduction starts at the end of the last ice age, when the melting of the ice sheets opened the northern half of North America to Indigenous peoples, and covers up to today's anthropogenic climate change, and Canada's climate politics. Donald Wright emphasizes Canada's complexity and diversity as well as its different identities and its commitment to rights, and explores its historical relationship to Great Britain, and its ongoing relationship with the United States. Finally, he examines Canada's northern realities and its northern identities.

Ruined by soulless narrator
The content is fascinating. However, the narrator reads as if announcing summer hot tub sales on a regional TV news channel. The lack of range, variation and emotion makes it really hard to follow.

very brief introduction
This is, in fact a very short introduction to Canada. Although brief, it was enjoyable. I had no problem with the narration.

Really Helps You Understand Modern Day Canada
Written for people unfamiliar with Canada and also for Canadians who can barely remember their social studies or history classes in school. Primarily focuses on historical events as they relate to the social issues of modern day Canada. Skips almost all Pre-Confederation history (i.e., before 1867). It would have been nice to include popular figures who are important to Canadian pride and identity (e.g., Banting, Gretzky, Bondar). Skillfully handles the nuances of the Indian Act and the shame of residential schools. Highlights the uniqueness of our great nation. This opinion is highly subjective but I did not enjoy the narrator's voice nor his oddly inflected way of reading.
