Canada has been ranked (by United Nations studies) as the best place in the world to live. Canadians enjoy many advantages – a high standard of living, access to good healthcare and education, and a beautiful environment. People from many different ethnic backgrounds live in harmony. But family life, working life, even the way some people are governed, is changing. Meet the people of Canada (“In their Own Words”) and discover the diversity of their lives, from a cattle farmer in Alberta to a pilot in Vancouver.

Canada is a country of amazing natural beauty, but most Canadians live in the cities of Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Ottowa, and enjoy one of the world's highest standards of living. However, many of the indigenous Canadian Indians suffer high unemployment, poor health and housing. Canada's population includes many different peoples who have settled in the country in the past. Yet the government has recently been accused of allowing in too many economic migrants, leading to rising tensions in the country. For many years, French-speaking Quebec has kept its identity separate while being part of Canada. But if Quebec wins its independence the Canadian government will lose its largest province.

Canada's history is more than simply regional or national. The world has always seen Canada as a terrain for experiment and a land of opportunity. At first Canada's survival and, later, its prosperity depended on links with the world outside — the technologies that drove steamships and trains across oceans and continents; the armies that battled for North America; the furs, wheat, and gold that bought Canada a place in the world's trading system. An uneasy and difficult country (most of Canada's space is uninhabited, and much uninhabitable), Canada has nevertheless defied the odds — in the twenty-first century it is a haven of peace and a beacon of prosperity. This book paints a portrait of a dynamic and complex country from the sixteenth century to 2006.

Ten short stories by Margaret Atwood. A collection that aims to take the reader into secret, strange and familiar places of the imagination, to reveal different textures of contemporary life and logic of irrational behaviour. A leathery bog-man transforms an old love affair; the landscape paintings are haunted by the ghost of a young girl etc. Atwood’s stories are more easily accessible than her novels.
