Looking for provocative learning materials, award-winning teacher Charles Hou and Cynthia Hou eventually compiled Great Canadian Political Cartoons (Moody's Lookout Press $39.95), an annotated collection of more than 330 political cartoons, both English and French, from the period 1820 to 1914. Approximately 12% are from B.C. Most of the cartoons have never been republished; many deal with social issues such as labour, women's rights, prohibition, poverty, racism and, yes, Quebec's role in Confederation. 0-9680016-1-0 (266-2214)
