The Aristotle Foundation’s first book: From assaults on historical figures to cancel culture and charges that Canada is a genocidal nation-state, the country that every generation and every immigrant built is now facing routine and corrosive attacks.
In this new book edited by Aristotle Foundation president Mark Milke, twenty critical Canadian thinkers dive into the problem: Grievance narratives and utopians who expect Canada’s history to be perfect.
These authors challenge the naysayers but also show how renewing a Canada where citizens reject divisions based on colour and gender and instead unite around laudable, time-tested ideas will create a freer, flourishing Canada for all.
