We Are Canada is a short story of Canada that begins at the end of the last ice age and carries through to the present day. It is an eighty-page telling of our history that challenges three Canadian myths: that the French were a conquered people, that our First Nations were innocent bystanders in the formation of our country, and that Canada only had two founding peoples. According to Rikia Saddy, we've been multicultural from the start. An informative, easy read, We Are Canada will change the way you see your country. We can't be divided, and we can't be conquered. We are Canada.

After a successful business career in Canada, the United States and Europe, Rikia Saddy became engaged in politics and social change, advising candidates and contributing to the conversation about Canada’s role in the world. An active participant in Canada 2020, the Couchiching Institute on Public Affairs, and the Governor General’s Leadership Conference, she is very interested in Canada’s past and how our understanding of it shapes our shared future. A published journalist, Ms. Saddy has appeared numerous times on The National and Connect with Mark Kelley. She lives in Vancouver B.C.
