The Canadian Issues magazine showcases academic work in the form of short essays designed to expand Canadians’ knowledge about their country. A second publication, Canadian Diversity, introduced in 2000, focuses on the challenges confronting Canada and other countries arising from migration and rapid demographic change.

A third publication - The Metropolis eBook - highlights a selection of the cutting-edge cross-sectoral presentations in the immigration field intended for the annual Metropolis Canada Conferences.

Reconciliation and Reckoning: Contesting Canada’s Past, Framing Its Future

This special issue comprises essays and interviews featuring a range of voices, Indigenous and non-Indigenous, reflecting on how the past — often contested — continues to shape our present and future. Reconciliation is a topic at the heart of contemporary debates about Canada’s history, during a time when scholarly and popular narratives of this country’s past are being challenged and rewritten. Canada’s landscape of historical commemoration is similarly in the throes of controversy, with statues being toppled and landmarks being renamed. All the while, how we educate young Canadians about the country’s past remains a hotly contested issue.
