Description
"Almost one hundred years ago Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier commented that the twentieth century would belong to Canada. Though few Canadians today accept that claim, most think that Canada was, is, and will remain God's country, the golden land, the single best place in the world to live. It is pleasant, but scarcely important, that the United Nations and the World Bank share this view. What does matter is that Canadians believe it. Every poll confirms this assessment, including polls in Quebec."--p. ix.
