On September 21, 2011, the Macdonald-Laurier Institute (MLI) celebrated the centenary of Canada’s momentous 1911 election at the prestigious Rideau Club in Ottawa. The evening began with opening remarks by MLI Managing Director Brian Lee Crowley and a brief talk by Patrice Dutil, co-author of the book Canada 1911. A panel discussion followed comparing the issues of 1911 to where Canada is today with historian Jack Granatstein and political strategist Derek Burney. The event drew a great crowd of politicians, civil servants, consultants and academics who engaged in a lively Q & A session at the end. If you missed the event, don’t worry!
