| book description |

It's a subject that continues to provoke and fascinate Canadians, and pre-eminent political commentator Jeffrey Simpson has his finger on its pulse.Is there really a ""brain drain"" from Canada to the US? Why do some Canadians want to live south of the border? Who are they? What have they found?Star-Spangled Canadians delivers some startling answers about the almost 700,000 ex-pat Canadians living in the US.He has talked to more than 200 of them, from Montana State Prison death-row inmate Ronald Smith to ABC News anchor Peter Jennings.The result is a fascinating mix of anecdote, analysis and commentary that reveals surprising new perspectives on Canada's current and past relationship with America; looks sharply at the so-called ""brain drain""; and explodes some longstanding myths and stereotypes we hold about Americans.Written in his trademark eloqent style, Jeffrey Simpson has penned a groundbreaking and entertaining book.
