I found Canada: A People's History bent in the extreme. For the life of me I could not figure out why it constantly set the British and Habitants as 'them' and 'us' respectively. When the same army went down to burn Washington to the ground they suddenly became 'us'. Hmmm. I saw Shattered City and agree with most of what has been said here: it was a bit ... what the opposite of guilding the lily?
