LaFontaine and Baldwin injected into public debate the imagination and initiative needed to make sense of their reality. The LaFontaine-Baldwin Lectures aim to encourage our imaginations by continuing the public debate around the future shape of Canada's civic culture. John Ralston Saul's essay traces LaFontaine and Baldwin's idea of "responsible government" and shows how relevant it is to today's societal challenges. Alain Dubuc argues in his essay that Canada has its own brand of nationalism that is as entrenched and ingrained as Quebec nationalism. Georges Erasmus's essay explores whether Aboriginal values are compatible with non-Aboriginal issues, and suggests what might be done to foster more effective communication among all Canadians.
A continuing discussion among Saul, Dubuc, Erasmus and Rudyard Griffiths, executive director of the Dominion Institute, about Canada's founding cultures and the future they are forging together connects the essays and extends the debate. Provocative and enlightening, The LaFontaine-Baldwin Lectures is an important addition to the dialogue about Canada's past and future.
