Donald Trump is president. And he is insisting that Canada is for sale. It feels disorienting, even existential, to watch a trade war escalate and to hear an American president vow to make Canada \"the 51st state.\" Amid this disorientation, there is an urgent question: how do we meet the moment? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis is not the first time we have had an identity crisis resulting in a swell of Canadian pride, but it is the first time many Canadians have experienced the direct threat of American imperialism knocking so loudly on our country's door. The fact that treaties can be broken, that resources can be stolen, and that the consequences of land theft include loss of culture, ritual, and identity is not new to the Indigenous and refugee peoples living in this country. But to many other Canadians, this kind of threat is new. As a result, there appears to be a new sense of a \"we\" emerging. People are angry and standing together with renewed shared purpose. This is a pivotal moment in history, and we need to take stock of how we got here, to learn from our past and walk tenaciously together into an uncertain future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInspired by the 1968 collection \u003ci\u003eThe New Romans: Candid Canadian Opinions of the U.S.\u003c\/i\u003e, which was edited by Al Purdy and curated amidst the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War, \u003ci\u003eElbows Up!\u003c\/i\u003e is the book for our generation's own moment of crisis, featuring the words of leading cultural figures speaking candidly on America, on Canada, and on the malleable contours of a national narrative still taking hold.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 077103220X\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780771032202\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Abdelmahmoud, Elamin, Various, N\/A\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: McClelland \u0026amp; Stewart\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"McClelland \u0026 Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Oct 2025)","offer_id":45658776043717,"sku":"9780771032202","price":17.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780771032202.jpg?v=1768904551"},{"product_id":"extraordinary-canadians-stories-from-the-heart-of-our-nation","title":"Extraordinary Canadians: Stories from the Heart of Our Nation","description":"The instant #1 bestselling book of personal stories about remarkable Canadians who embody the values of our great nation and inspire us to do the same, from Peter Mansbridge, the beloved former anchor of CBC's The National, and Mark Bulgutch, former CBC producer.In this heartwarming volume of first-person stories, Peter Mansbridge and Mark Bulgutch bring together inspiring Canadians from all walks of life--advocates, politicians, doctors, veterans, immigrants, business leaders, and more--who in their own way are making Canada a better place for all.
