The Regional Geography of Canada

by Robert M. Bone

The Regional Geography of Canada divides Canada into six geographic regions: Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Western Canada, Atlantic Canada, and the Territorial North. Each region has a particular regional geography, history, population, and a unique location. These factors have determined each region's character, set the direction for its development, and created a sense of place. In examining these themes, this text underscores the dynamic nature of Canada's regional geography.

This is such a complex topic but I do feel like Dr Bone did a good job of keeping out any bias when putting the book together. At times it reads like an option piece but overall is based on stats and research

Very biased tone when it came to the Indigenous Minority faultline and tended to sugar coat Canada's colonial roots. Examples: "These [Residential] schools were designed to equip young Indigenous students to find and accept a place on the bottom rungs of the larger society." "The treaty land selection process in earlier centuries and the relocation of northern Indigenous peoples to settlements in the 1950s brought mixed blessings. Access to public services and secure food supplies was a plus, but these villages had no economic foundation and therefore left the adults in no man’s land."

Good for an overview but very dry writing

It may be a textbook, but at least it was easy to read and I learned lots.
