Sleepwoking

Jerry Amernic, a journalist and novelist, tackles historical revisionism and all the fallout associated with it in his book SLEEPWOKING, which has been called ＂a sharp-edged takedown of the contemporary fallacies about history that plague Canada.＂ The book has already received high praise from a number of historians and scholars. Amernic surgically dissects what passes as legitimate history in the country. Leaving no stone unturned, he examines the legacies of such figures as John A. Macdonald, Henry Dundas and Egerton Ryerson, as well as Edward Cornwallis, the founder of Halifax, and legendary B.C. judge Matthew Begbie. All these figures have been cancelled and vilified. Amernic looks at the true historical record of each and unearths some hard truths. His book is peppered with personal experiences to counter the ’woke’ narrative of history that has received so much attention in Canada.
