Details

According to Ken McGoogan, author of How the Scots Invented Canada, no matter how you approach the history of Canada—through exploration, politics, business, education or literature—you’ll find a Scot in a leading role. Richard Gwyn, whose highly praised chronicle of the life of Sir John A. Macdonald continues with Nation Maker, and Vincent Lam, biographer of “the father of medicare,” Tommy Douglas, exuberantly advance the case. Break out your kilt and join our piper for this lively exchange between three outstanding biographers.

General Admission: $12.50/$16.00 at the door.
