Published 15 years after his Governor General's award-winning The Unknown Country, Bruce Hutchison's Canada: Tomorrow's Giant is a vivid portrait of the nation on the verge of the 1960s. Finding Canada changed "outwardly in many places beyond recognition and inwardly everywhere," Hutchison invites readers to join him in a "casual, disordered tour across the nation and some of its wilderness" to discover the new Canada. The result is a portrait of a country in the making that still resonates today.

Canada: Tomorrow's Giant, like its predecessor The Unknown Country, was awarded the Governor General's Award for creative nonfiction. The Wynford edition includes a new introduction by Vaughn Palmer, one of Canada's foremost political journalists and a winner of the Bruce Hutchison Award. Palmer's introduction puts both the book and Hutchison's career in historical context for modern readers.

Born and raised in Winnipeg, MB, Canada, I was educated in Winnipeg, as well as in Ottawa, Ontario.

I later studied in Ottawa, Ontario at the Faculty of Psychology where I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Ottawa.

"This entertaining narrative is a pleasure to read...this book is more than a period piece, more than a travelogue. It is a searching, beautifully rendered meditation on Canada's past and future...this is Canadiana at its best."
