Summary:
"Between 1880 and the 1930s, the big railway companies, and the federal and provincial governments launched three aggressive campaigns to "sell"
Canada
at home and abroad... With compelling research, insight, and wit, Daniel Francis documents how these three campaigns established
Canada
as a destination for
immigrants
and
tourists
and turned us into proud defenders of western civilization. In doing so, they also transformed the way Canadians and outsiders thought about
Canada
, inadvertently providing the raw material for nationhood. Each campaign produced images expressing what Canadians believed to be fundamental about their country. Those images were incomplete and misleading, providing an idealized portrait of
Canada
rather than a realistic snapshot."--From publisher.
