Activism in an Age of Uncertainty

So while I've been working at my day job, I've also been using the afternoons to listen to this year's edition of CBC Radio's Massey Lectures series. Some of you may be familiar to varying degrees with the author delivering them...?

Canada: Lament and Intent For a Nation

Listening to this right now:

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/ideas/george-grant-lament-for-a-nation-1.7050666

I should look that book up, and also re-read Michael Byers' Intent For a Nation: What is Canada For? That one, I do have a copy of at hand.
