Colonialism, Capitalism, and Canada

The Leo Panitch School is thrilled to host renowned historian and author, Bryan Palmer, for a celebration of his three volume history of Canada, Capitalism, and Colonialism!.
This monumental work offers readers access to a clear-eyed understanding of Canada’s past, explaining how recently-acknowledged dark facts about our history are tied to the creation of a richly endowed, wealthy but very unequal first world country.
