A textbook for Canada –Maclean`s editorial Nov. 23rd issue

You are right that `Ottawa should give every Canadian a copy of its new citizenship booklet`.

What the Ottawa and all the provinces should also do (since education is a provincial responsibility) is make Canadian History a compulsory subject right through high school. I have often been astonished to hear what little the Canadian-born citizens know about their own history. I recommend reading `Who killed Canadian history` by J.L. Granatstein for a start.
