Thirty years ago Canada celebrated its centennial, Montreal hosted Expo 67 and the Leafs and the Canadiens squared off in a memorable Stanley Cup final. According to Pierre Berton's 1967, The Last Good Year (Doubleday $36.95), no year has managed to match the brilliance of 1967 since then. In 1967 a philosophical young lawyer, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, also joined the federal cabinet; John Diefenbaker was ousted as head of the Conservative Party and the government established the Royal Commission on the Status of Women in Canada.
