“[An] important book. . . . Saunders’s new book provides a highly
professional explanation of how we came to our present ‘crisis of
underpopulation’—and why this crisis has beset Canada and
pre-Confederation versions of Canada since the European landing. .
. . Saunders is at his most persuasive in emphasizing that most of
Canada’s modern history consists not of immigration into our
country, but indeed of net outmigration and exodus—bleeding—by
millions who went on to make their fortunes in, and pay taxes to,
other countries, clearly to the loss of Canada and the Canadian
project.” —The Globe and Mail
“[R]equired reading for anyone interested in Canadian demographics
and the challenges and choices facing our country.” —Policy
Options
“[A] timely look forward into the future from 2017, Canada’s 150th
anniversary since Confederation. Maximum Canada’s central premise
is sure to provoke anyone raised to embrace Canada’s open spaces
and distant geography (i.e. everyone in this country).” —Pique
