Lament for a Nation: A Book Review
At first glance, George Grants Lament for a Nation comes across as a reactionary account of the events leading up to and following the collapse of the Diefenbaker regime. ... Grants account is appealing in a captivating manner because of the way he insists that even though the disappearance of the Canadian nation and union was unwanted by the vast majority of people who held deep respect for their own separate nation, it was a necessary and unavoidable thing. ... In Grants Canada of the 1960s, those supporting a liberal viewpoint were generally in agreement, either consciously or not, with the American continentalist ideology that is in conflict with the survival of Canada as an independent nation. ... According to Grant, a conservative nation is impossible to maintain in the modern age of progress where technology, consumption, and individual liberty are the virtues all of us value the most.
