Reclaiming Sir John A. Macdonald for the next generation: Patrice Dutil and Lindsay Shepherd

Welcome to Inside Policy Talks, where we discuss the most pressing policy issues shaping Canada

In this episode, Patrice Dutil, a senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, sits down with Lindsay Shepherd, the author of the new children's book "A Day with Sir John A."

Shepherd discusses her motivation for writing the book, which aims to introduce Canada's first Prime Minister to a young audience in a positive and engaging way.

Shepherd shares how the recent controversies surrounding Sir John A. Macdonald's legacy inspired her to create a fictionalized story that allows children to learn about his vision and accomplishments. She also reflects on her own experiences as a public figure and academic who has faced backlash, and how that has shaped her perspective.
