In 1967, Canadians cheered and ate cake on Parliament Hill, spent millions on outlandish modern buildings, and flocked to the World Expo in Montreal. In his groundbreaking book, Gary Miedema uses Canada's centennial celebrations to illustrate how religion informed nation-building and national identity during the 1960s.
