While Canada Slept, Andrew Cohen
The second speaker at tonight's UofT Bookstore Series, was Andrew Cohen. He was a much better speaker than Peter Scowen, and his book was about Canada. It was an interesting history lesson, given from the perspective of Canada's foreign affairs policy since the early part of the last century. Andrew Cohen took aim at our slow declining interest in the well-being of the world. Perspective was given from our atrophied miltary, cheap foreign aid policy and negligence of our once strong diplomatic corp. Check out a review of the book from the Ottawa Citizen.
