Should Canadians be ashamed of their country's history?
Jack Granatstein and Noah Richler will hash out that question as part of another Great Canadian Debate, taking place March 28, 2017 at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa.
The latest paper in MLI's Confederation Series examines how George-Étienne Cartier went from rebel patriote to key ally of Sir John A. Macdonald and Father of Confederation.
MLI's Benjamin Perrin will launch his new book, Victim Law: The Law of Victims of Crime in Canada, as part of
a cross-Canada tour.
The tour has already taken Perrin to stops in Vancouver, Victoria and Calgary. Remaining dates are: March 27th (Halifax); March 28th (Montreal); March 29th (Ottawa) and March 30th (Toronto).
MLI will host the Ottawa event on at the Cardus offices at 45 Rideau Street in Ottawa.
Perrin also penned an op-ed on the need to strengthen policy for victims in a Globe and Mail op-ed.
