About this listen

 This is the third of four volumes of my essay writing over the past fifteen years. Some essays have aged better than others. But rather than modifying those that have aged less well, I am including comments, which will appear in footnotes, reflecting my current thinking on the matters under discussion. This volume contains the articles in which I focus on my own country, my own evolving views on the Canadians land question and Canadian nationalism. This is my most aspirational and, ironically, least ideological writing, where I step out of my consciousness as a socialist and into a Canadian nationalist consciousness. Prior to this, I share the various calls to arms and visions I have published on my blog. If dialectical materialism survives, I am sure this will be viewed as the worst of the four volumes. If Canada survives, I hope it is viewed as the best.

Stuart Parker is a fresh and unclassifiable voice on the Canadian scene, who brings great learning, a distinctive perspective, and a vigorous prose style to every topic he touches. He is always worth reading, even when you disagree.

British Columbians are notorious for electing the politicians we deserve rather than those we need. Fittingly, Parker's unblemished record of life-long political defeat should endear him to us all as one of the bravest, most principled and insightful political representatives we never had. His insights into the history and culture of British Columbia are forged by his unshakable commitment to civic participation and dogged refusal to stay down when knocked. Through it all, he never stopped writing while fighting and we're gifted with this collection as a result. We ignore it at our peril.

Stuart possesses a brave voice of reason alongside the ability to get across esoteric ideas in a captivating manner. He’s not beholden to anything but curiosity and truth. It’s no surprise, then, that his essays span Honey Boo Boo to philosophy to the taboo ideas, like gender, that beckon modern cancellation mobs. His essays are a delight.
- Amy Eileen Hamm; Women's rights activist, journalist and free speech advocate
