It's a subject that continues to provoke and fascinate Canadians, and pre-eminent political commentator Jeffrey Simpson has his finger on its pulse.Is there really a "brain drain" from Canada to the US? Why do some Canadians want to live south of the border? Who are they? What have they found? Star-Spangled Canadians delivers some startling answers about the almost 700,000 ex-pat Canadians living in the US.He has talked to more than 200 of them, from Montana State Prison death-row inmate Ronald Smith to ABC News anchor Peter Jennings.The result is a fascinating mix of anecdote, analysis and commentary that reveals surprising new perspectives on Canada's current and past relationship with America; looks sharply at the so-called "brain drain"; and explodes some longstanding myths and stereotypes we hold about Americans. Written in his trademark eloqent style, Jeffrey Simpson has penned a groundbreaking and entertaining book. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Actually any Canadian living in the States, or considering moving there would enjoy read this book (even if you hate Jeffery Simpson - this was given to me as a gift) - it is based upon a rather extensive survey of Canadians expats and hence provides a very accurate description of the surprises of moving to the US and the misconceptions that lead to them. Simpson was not as pro US as I thought, I am not as anti US as I thought. ( )
