Books True patriot love

This book is a passionate and insightful look at what it means to be Canadian, serving as an intimate exploration of Ignatieff's maternal family roots, the Grants. Over three generations, the Grants engaged in a spirited public argument about the identity and future of Canada. Ignatieff blends history, love of country, and family tradition into a memoir, tracing his ancestors' visions of Canada from his great-grandfather George Monro Grant's journey to map the transcontinental railway line in 1872, through his uncle George Parkin Grant's nationalist critiques in Lament for a Nation, to his own more contemporary perspective.
