My own column argues Canada150 did a good thing: injected a historical debate we needed to have into what started out as a pretty bland commemoration.
Meanwhile , the annual survey of the 100 best books of 2017 at the Globe and Mail this weekend included pretty much zero history. That bad a year, or just the fiction bigots on the book pages failing to take notice?
A bit of both, perhaps, but I would have thought Peter Russell's Canada's Odyssey deserved some attention. What else got missed? I think we will have to try our own yearend round up soon, and your suggestions would be welcome.
