Canadian Issues has been ACS’ flagship bilingual publication since 2000. The now digital editions (bi-annually) showcase short essays and interviews from/with leading academics from across Canada as well as experts from non-governmental organizations, government and civil society and are designed to expand Canadians’ knowledge about their country. We are grateful for the continued support from Canadian Heritage.
