![]() The winners and losers of Canada’s games simply mirror the larger questions that have faced Canadian society across three centuries. From team sports such as lacrosse, baseball, and cricket, to Canada''s cycling craze, track and field, and boxing, each chapter offers insight to an important aspect of the nation’s narrative. Here, from the sidelines, we find how these attitudes have changed - or not, as the case may be - over time. Through the prism of some exceptional athletes, the prevailing attitudes of many Canadians toward issues such as class, race, memory, manliness, femininity, and national identity are laid bare. ![]() It is an exploration that reveals the socio-cultural trends that have shaped Canada since Confederation.

My preferred one – and my favorite reading of the year – is an original and beautiful dictionary edited by Michel Cordillot, La Commune de Paris 1981: Les acteurs, les événements, les lieux (Paris: Editions de l’Atelier, 2020).
