" Planet Canada is an enthralling guided tour through the uncharted lands of Canada's 'undeclared eleventh province.' This missing piece of our population has an outsized influence on the shape of the world and, potentially, the fate of our country--yet it was nameless and undocumented until John Stackhouse embarked on this extraordinary journey through its workshops, concert halls, executive suites and laboratories, revealing a second Canada that is both a missed opportunity and a potential storehouse of future success." -- Doug Saunders , bestselling author of Arrival City and Maximum Canada "John Stackhouse is an eminently wise and thoughtful observer of Canada's place on the world's stage . In Planet Canada , he offers a nuanced analysis of how the Canadian diaspora is capitalizing on their uniquely Canadian qualities and makes a case for us, as an evolving middle-power nation, to make the most of them." -- The Right Honourable David Johnston, Canada's 28th Governor General "In Planet Canada , John Stackhouse motivates us to rethink the axis of our globetrotting expats, and makes a compelling case for ensuring that the right structures are in place towards achieving the desired 'boomerang effect,' ultimately leveraging our diverse diaspora as a fundamental Canadian asset." -- Nurjehan Mawani, distinguished Canadian civil servant and diplomat.
