Explore 10 Days That Shaped Modern Canada with author Aaron W. Hughes and Vinita Srivastava

Join Vinita Srivastava as she hosts a lively conversation with author Aaron W. Hughes about his latest book – 10 Days That Shaped Modern Canada.

Revisiting ten notable days from recent history, Aaron W. Hughes invites readers to think about the tensions, events, and personalities that make Canada distinct. These indelible dates interweave to offer an account of the political, social, cultural, and demographic forces that have shaped the modern nation. Each day represents a window on contemporary Canada, jumpstarting reflection and conversation about who we are as a nation and how we got here.

“Ten days that prove there’s nothing boring about Canada’s modern-day history. It’s all here from hockey to rock, from murder to reconciliation, from patriation to referendum. Yes, we’re a complicated country but Aaron Hughes cuts through the confusion with clarity.”
