In this respect, there is no doubt that Canada belongs on the podium with the world's best. When I heard the Canadian story I was overwhelmed at how such a fantastic secret had been kept quiet for so long. This book shows Americans that our friends north of the border are extremely valuable partners, and to some extent, mentors."
