Summary "Canada" by Sir J. G. Bourinot is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the development of Canada from the early explorations by French adventurers to the establishment of the Confederation in 1867, emphasizing key events, figures, and the evolution of its institutions. Through a review of significant historical episodes, the author aims to provide insight into Canada’s national journey and its diverse population. At the start of the narrative, the author sets the scene in historical Quebec, describing its striking geography and rich past. He reflects on the mix of cultures that have shaped the nation, notably in the context of both French and English influences. Bourinot introduces various key players in Canadian history, with a focus on exploring their contributions and the historical events that have significantly impacted Canadian society, such as Canada’s relationship with Indigenous peoples and the evolution of its political landscape. The opening portion serves as an introduction to the broader story of the Canadian Dominion, outlining its geography, ethnic diversity, and historical significance.
