The amorous adventures of a one-legged cabinet minister. Newfangled technology which helped end the North-West Rebellion.The callowness of youth; double-talking, double-dealing politicians; blood in the gutters of Winnipeg and Regina as the workers clashed with the establishment; drama on the high seas; a state of apprehended insurrection in Quebec, and a tangle tale of Schmiergelder – all these are part of a sharp-tongued dissection of Canada's colorful heritage. In twenty provocative chapters, William Rayner reminds us that growing up is serious business indeed, for nations as well as individuals.
