Canadians faced a clear choice between free trade with the United States and fidelity to the British Empire, and the decisions they made in September 1911 helped shape Canada's political and economic history for the rest of the century. \u003ci\u003eCanada 1911\u003c\/i\u003e revisits and re-examines this momentous turn in Canadian history, when Canadians truly found themselves at a parting of the ways. It was Canada's first great modern election and one of the first expressions of the birth of modern Canada. The poet Rudyard Kipling famously wrote at the time that this election was nothing less than a fight for Canada's soul. This book will explain why.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dundurn Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/07\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781554889471\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"David MacKenzie, Patrice Dutil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39893310996661,"sku":"9781554889471","price":25.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_961a43a3-6528-4ab0-9658-d46790142a35.jpg?v=1619538571","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/canada-1911-the-decisive-election-that-shaped-the-country-9781554889471","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
