>Ten years ago, the Literary Review of Canada named Lament for a Nation one of the 100 most important Canadian books. In 112 pages, Grant made the following argument: Canada had gone from being a colony of Britain through independence to sovereign nationhood and back to being a colony, this time a cultural colony of the United States.

What if Canada is already dead?
