註釋Newspaper columns are written in the moment as part of a journalist's first rough draft of history. But the judge of a columnist's insight and interpretation of events, as well as the people who shape them, is how the analysis stands the test of time. This collection of columns and articles meets that test. From columns in theMontreal Gazetteand theNational Post, as well as longer-form pieces from the magazinePolicy Options, L. Ian MacDonald looks at Canadian and American politics and the principal players and events over the last decade: from Jean Chretien, Stephen Harper, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama to Brian Mulroney and Airbus, as well as Jean Charest's three terms as Premier of Quebec. Along the way, MacDonald's clear and lively prose covers a range of topics from politics to cottages, while profi ling people as diverse as Jean Believeau and Bernard Derome.Politics, People, and Potpourribrings to life storied Montreal landmarks,from St Patrick's Basilica to Windsor Station and commemorates the passing of notable fi gures such as Pierre Trudeau and Maurice 'Rocket' Richard. This intelligent and amusing collection presents MacDonald at his best as well as a compelling view of Canadian politics and life.
