"A revealing explanation and critique of Canada's mass third world immigration policy by a former immigration investigator." - front cover. "This book is not about hate or immigrant-bashing or racism. It is about too many different kinds of immigrants coming into the country too fast and the wisdom of leaving the nonstop influx unchecked and unchallenged. It is about the fallacy of Canada the good ostensibly trying to help the world's less fortunate out of the goodness of its heart when the real reason is economic self-aggrandizement. The author's politics can best be described as left of centre and right of Marx." - back cover. 250 pages. Selected bibliography. Tight and unmarked with above-average external wear.

1925317h5392London: John Murray Publishers Limited 1925. Book. Good. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. pp. vi vii-xiv 360. Index. Thirty-three pages of black and white photographic plates. Author headed British Columbia's Game department for thirteen years. "Everything that is stated in this narrative with regard to the habits of our wild life is unless otherwise noted first-hand knowledge that has been acquired from personal observation during over thirty-five years of wandering in the country. There are in every man of British blood traces of primitive man. They create an overpowering desire to hunt and kill. It is likely that there was more than the ordinary share in me. This is a hard country for a man of education unless he has private means a profession or exceptional business ability. For a man of moderate means there is no country on the face of the earth where he can live a more healthy or enjoyable life; but if he expects to be frequently indulging in sport and also to amass the 'almighty dollar' he will have a sad disappointment. Fishing shooting and making money do not go well together. I can bear witness to this fact!" - Author's Foreword. Two names written upon front free endpaper. Trifle of writing inside back board.

Nicely signed without inscription by Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas upon title page.

This is a contemporary rendering of a worldview first expressed in different times and probably for different reasons. I am a Haida whose life experiences are probably very similar to that of your own. In many respects that greater distance between the first tellers of ga Sraagaa sdang and ourselves makes us both readers." - 5. 10-85 pp. Engagingly illustrated on every second page in black and white.
