The State of Canada in 1945

Patrice Dutil meets with Ken Cuthbertson of Kingston, Ontario to talk about how Canada emerged from the Second World War. Cuthbertson is the author of 1945: The Year that Made Modern Canada (HarperCollins). Canada in 1945 is victorious over Nazi Germany and the King government launched an election campaign that will again carry it to power.
