Canada: Year In Review 2004

By Canadian Press

CANADA: YEAR IN REVIEW 2004 From courageous soldiers and medical workers in Afghanistan and Haiti to the incredible spectacle of nearly 60,000 hockey fans in Commonwealth Stadium; from the departure of Montreal's once-beloved Expos to Conan O'Brian's "invasion" of Canada; from Luna the whale to Paul the PM; from the whimsical to the amazing, our shared experiences are what make Canada: Year in Review 2004 a compelling and entertaining read. . With incisive writing and dazzling photographs, the staff reporters and photographers from Canada's No. 1 source for news chronicle all the major events that shaped and shook Canada in 2004. Look inside to relive: The heart-racing year in sports including the ever-so-close Stanley Cup Final appearance of the Calgary Flames, the mercurial tour of Mike Weir, the continuing "gold-standard" of Canada's men's and women's hockey teams, and both the glory and misfortune of our Olympic athletes in Athens. The wild growth of Canadian Idol (admit it, you saw at least some of it), the Oscar success of Danys Arcand's The Barbarian Invasions, and the new celebrity inductees to Canada's Walk of Fame. The muted victory of the federal Liberals along with the other news events that peaked our political curiosity including the controversial meeting of the Dalai Lama with the PM, the strange case of Maher Arar and the continuing controversy over pharmaceutical sales to Americans. The oddities that made us all raise our eyebrows - look for the ball stealing squirrel and the cat that came back! Canada: Year in Review celebrates all of the notable people, places, and events of 2004. It is an engaging way to enjoy a full dose of Canadiana.
