Rikia Saddy

illustrated by Cameron McLellan

What is Canada, and who are we as a people? What makes us unique and admirable in a world marked by ethnic tension, inequality, injustice, and intolerance? How has this land and its unique history formed us, and why do so many nations look to us with envy when they need to tackle a future of multiculturalism, diversity, transparency, innovation?

Forget the Plains of Abraham and Social Studies 11 - Rikia Saddy presents our history as you've never heard it before. We Are Canada will change the way you see your country. We can't be divided, and we can't be conquered. We are Canada.

After a successful business career in Canada, the United States and Europe, Rikia Saddy has become engaged in politics and social change, advising candidates and contributing to the conversation about Canada's role in the world. An active participant in Canada 2020, the Couchiching Institute on Public Affairs, and the Governor General's Leadership Conference, she is very interested in Canada's past and how our understanding of it shapes our shared future. A published journalist, Ms. Saddy has appeared numerous times as a panelist on The National and Connect with Mark Kelley. She lives in Vancouver B.C.
