In the January 1^st, 2017 issue of the Globe and Mail, Doug Saunders wrote an important essay on the significance of Canada’s Centennial year, 1967. In it, he called that year “the hinge upon which modern Canadian history turns,” and said, “We should spend this year celebrating not the 150^th year of Confederation, but the 50^th birthday of the new Canada.” In that light, join us as Bill Darfler takes a good look at Canada’s “Last Good Year,” to borrow Pierre Berton’s immortal phrase, and reflects on our recent past.
