If I had a dollar for every time I heard someone say that Canadian history is boring, I'd be a wealthy man today. But let's face it, Canadian history is boring. If you sat a Belgian or a Swede down with a book of Canadian history, he'd doze off before he got through the table of contents. Just as I would if you offered me a book outlining the history of either of those two established European nations. All history, to the extent that it is simply a laundry list of facts and dates, is boring. It becomes interesting only when it becomes part of a story and a story, which is itself interesting . . . It is my belief that Canada's story is interesting; it is my expectation that with the "Harsher Half," I have rendered a capable telling of that story, and my hope that the reader will concur with both of those sentiments.
