À propos de cet audio

“The bell of opportunity tolls for us, and the world, for once, will listen. It is our turn,” writes Conrad Black in this scintillating blueprint for a bolder Canadian future.

Chipper, patient, and courteous, Canada has pursued an improbable destiny as a splendid nation of relatively good and ably self-governing people, but most would agree we have not realized our true potential.

Canada's main chance, writes Black, is now before it...and it is not in the usual realms of military or economic dominance. With the rest of the West engaged in a sterile left-right tug of war, Canada has the opportunity to lead the world to its next stage of development in the arts of government. By transforming itself into a controlled and sensible public policy laboratory, it can forge new solutions to the problems of welfare, education, health care, foreign policy, and other governmental sectors, and make an enormous contribution to the welfare of mankind.

Canada has no excuse not to lead in this field, argues Black, who offers 19 visionary policy proposals of his own. He claims that this "is the destiny, and the vocation, Canada could have, not in the next century, but in the next five years of imaginative government.”

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Black’s Manifesto reminds us who we were and, therefore, who we are. In doing so, he lays the groundwork for us to consider who we might yet become." (Jordan Peterson, University of Toronto, author of 12 Rules for Life)

Conrad Black is a storied and articulate reader. Even if you disagree with some or all of his viewpoints, this is a must read for Canadians in search if knowing more about their country. I personally disagree with his views on internal affairs and economics, but he still makes a lot of good points and gives much to think about and contemplate.

Succinct story of Canada with some great ideas

Conrad gives hope to this failing democracy.

every Canadian should listen

Any Canadian patriot would love this book as it details possible ways that Canada could actually be regarded as a great country on the world stage. This book perhaps over simplifies some complex issues, but it believe it to be very interesting and well founded. My one issue with this particular audiobook is the terrible pronunciation of some french words by the narrator.

Insightful and entertaining

very thoughtful and fast paced

Enjoyed the history and the current state of Canada. Conrad has some good thoughts on economic growth but his ideas on government structure modeled after the French republic I respectfully disagree.
I wish Conrad narrated his own book rather than a guy with a north Chicago accent who cannot pronounce Saskatchewan or Canada like a Canadian.

Interesting, but radical.

While the pronunciation of the American narrator may cause a few giggles here and there, this is an excellent read.

Black’s insightful essay was excellent, chock full of excellent ideas as to how Canada can come into its own and become a country worthy of emulation.

A thoughtful appraisal of Canada and what we can become

The book opens with a highly condensed history of Canada—about as thorough as what I recall from elementary school.

I was expecting policy analysis and a roadmap toward elevating Canada’s global relevance. Instead, I encountered a conservative perspective on development, built around familiar tropes: colonialism, natural resource extraction, and immigration rooted in Judeo-Christian origins. At no point is innovation proposed as a potential driver of growth, influence, or success.

What unfolds is a series of viewpoints from an old-school industrialist.

Canada must reinvent itself through reindustrialization and the development of high-value exports. While I agree with Mr. Black’s ultimate goal of enriching Canadians and the country as a whole, this book offers no real solutions to today’s challenges—only a repetition of the same failed conservative policies.
