Baseball has long been a part of the fabric of Vancouver and, indeed, British Columbia. Now comes a new coffee table-style book celebrating this legacy, from the first recorded baseball game in Victoria in 1863 to today's Vancouver Canadians. The project was the brainchild of now-former Vancouver Canadians co-owner Jake Kerr. He and Jeff Mooney owned the baseball club from 2007 until their retirement in 2023.

We Canadians can be a smug bunch. Often, we like to define ourselves by what we're not - namely, Americans. As Donald Trump threatens long-held political norms and conventions in the United States, we tend to think of our democracy as relatively healthy, perhaps one of the greatest in the world. The author of a new book wants to deprive us of this comfort. The Crisis of Canadian Democracy is the first book from Globe and Mail columnist and CBC News: At Issue panelist Andrew Coyne.
