Canadians faced a clear choice between free trade with the United States and fidelity to the British Empire, and the decisions they made in September 1911 helped shape Canada's political and economic history for the rest of the century. \u003ci\u003eCanada 1911\u003c\/i\u003e revisits and re-examines this momentous turn in Canadian history, when Canadians truly found themselves at a parting of the ways. It was Canada's first great modern election and one of the first expressions of the birth of modern Canada. The poet Rudyard Kipling famously wrote at the time that this election was nothing less than a fight for Canada's soul. This book will explain why.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid MacKenzie is Associate Professor of History at Ryerson University and the author of several books on Canadian history and international relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatrice Dutil is Associate Professor of Politics and Public Administration at Ryerson University.
