"Canadians are a modest people. We don't like self-importance or boasting so sometimes we are slow to recognize greatness in our compatriots. This series rightly reminds us to be proud of the explorers, writers, politicians, and the generally talented and stubborn Canadians who made this country what it is."
– Margaret MacMillan

Stephen Leacock’s satiric masterpiece Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town captures “the Empire forever” mentality that marked Anglo-Canadian life in the early decades of the 20th century. Historian Margaret Macmillan – whose books Women of the Raj and Paris 1919 cast fresh light on the colonial legacy – has great affection for Leacock’s gentle wit and sharp-eyed insight. The renowned historian examines Leacock’s life as a poor but ambitious student who rose to become an economist, celebrated academic and, most importantly, the beloved humorist who taught Canadians to laugh at themselves.
