Since 1844, the Globe and Mail and its predecessor, George Brown''s Globe, have chronicled Canada: as a colony, a dominion, and a nation. To mark the paper''s 180th anniversary, Globe writers explored thirty issues and events in which the national newspaper has influenced the course of the country: Confederation, settler migrations, regional tensions, tussles over language, religion, and race.

The essays reveal a tapestry of progress, conflict, and still-incomplete reconciliation: Catholic-Protestant hostilities that are now mostly the stuff of memory; the betrayal of Indigenous peoples with which we still grapple; the frustrations and triumphs of women journalists; pandemics old and new; environmental challenges; the joys of covering sports and the arts; chronicling the nation''s business, international coverage, the impossibility of Canada and of this newspaper, which both somehow flourish nonetheless.

Riveting, insightful, disturbing, witty, and always a joy to read, A Nation''s Paper chronicles a country and a newspaper that have grown and struggled together - essential reading for anyone who wants to understand where we came from and where we are going.
