Recenzje

«In Talking Past Each Other: Quebec and the Federal Dialogue in Canada, 1867-2017, Telford considers the two competing narratives of Canadian federalism, "majoritarian" and "difference," one emanating from English Canada and one from Québéc. [...] However, his well-organized and well-presented book is a fine elucidation of an age-old Canadian issue: one nation or two?»
(Nelson Wiseman, The Ormsby Review 2018)
