Since 1844, the Globe and Mail and its predecessor, George Brown’s Globe, have chronicled Canada: as a colony, a dominion, and a nation. To mark the paper’s 180th anniversary, Globe writers explored thirty issues and events in which the national newspaper has influenced the course of the country: Confederation, settler migrations, regional tensions, tussles over language, religion, and race. The essays reveal a tapestry of progress, conflict, and still-incomplete reconciliation: Catholic-Protestant hostilities that are now mostly the stuff of memory; the betrayal of Indigenous peoples with which we still grapple; the frustrations and triumphs of women journalists; pandemics old and new; environmental challenges; the joys of covering sports and the arts; chronicling the nation’s business, international coverage, the impossibility of Canada and of this newspaper, which both somehow flourish nonetheless.
Riveting, insightful, disturbing, witty, and always a joy to read, A Nation’s Paper chronicles a country and a newspaper that have grown and struggled together – essential reading for anyone who wants to understand where we came from and where we are going.

"An entertaining and informative essay collection about the Globe and Mail. . . . Reading this illuminating history [was] a tonic. . . . John Ibbitson has gathered thirty essays by dozens of Globe alumni, who chronicle in fascinating detail the key events in Canada's history where the paper played an important role. . . . There are gripping pieces [here]. . . . This is a vivid story of a bygone era, when a single publication with a large and broad readership could still serve a crucial role in uniting vastly different parts of a huge and important country. . . . A Nation's Paper is well-stocked with delicious anecdotes. . . . Ultimately, A Nation's Paper shows how the Globe and Canadians have grown up, almost in lockstep, helping to build a strong and fascinating country together."
