Description

Why does Canada have such an inflated portion of the global bubble gum market? What is driving modern versions of the old penny candy store? Candymaking in Canada takes the wrapper off Canada’s thriving chocolate and sweets industry. Confectionery is a global business with remarkably regional tastes, and this book offers a first-time glimpse inside it. It’s a nostalgic look at the chocolate phenomenon, the role of seasonal treats, and the importance of packaging. From the sugary highs to the low-fat lows, this is the story behind many of Canada’s favourite brands in a beautifully illustrated volume.

About the author

When David Carr came to campus in the fall of 2013, he sat with a group of journalism students and, in about ten minutes, explained what has happened to legacy media, where new media is now, and where it may be in the future. He was funny, blunt, irreverent, and smart. That's what makes him the most influential writer on the media in the world. Today, the veteran reporter writes the Media Equation column for the New York Times, and also reports on popular culture. His book, The Night of the Gun, is a memoir of addiction and recovery. He is an old school reporter who knows he's onto a big story and isn't letting go.
