What is a Canadian?: forty-three thought-provoking responses

By Irvin Studin

Canadian non-fiction, Canadian history, Essays

Human-narrated audio, Human-transcribed braille

Summary

Studin approached leading Canadians from all walks of life - politics, the civil service, academia, literature, journalism, business, the arts - from both official language groups, and from all regions of the country, as well as from the Canadian diaspora,… to tell us what they believe defines us. The answers to "What is a Canadian?" range from "someone who crosses the road to get to the middle" to "the citizen of a country badly in need of growing up" to "adaptable. To illustrate, consider the depth and breadth of the Canadian woman's wardrobe". 2006.
