"In the fall of 2007, Toronto Star columnist Chantal Hébert came from Montreal thinking about new politics in Quebec from the perspective of one who spent a career writing about sovereignty: “What if you spent the best part of your life living next to a mountain only to wake up one morning to find it gone?” She is a guest columnist for L’Actualité and a weekly participant on the political panel “At Issue” on CBC’s The National as well as Radio-Canada’s Les Coulisses du pouvoir. She has served as parliamentary bureau chief for Le Devoir and La Presse. She knows that to understand Canada we must tell the story of Quebec. No one tells that story more coherently than Hébert."

A journalist, lecturer, and bestselling writer, Philip Lee began his career as an investigative reporter on Canada’s east coast. Restigouche emerged from his long-standing interest in rivers and the people who love them. His first book, Home Pool: The Fight to Save the Atlantic Salmon, grew out of his award-winning reporting on the decline of the Atlantic salmon. Lee is also the author of Frank: The Life and Politics of Frank McKenna, a national bestseller, and Bittersweet: Confessions of a Twice-Married Man, which was long-listed for the BC National Award for Canadian Non-Fiction. A professor at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, Lee developed the Dalton Camp lecture series, broadcast annually by CBC Radio’s Ideas and edited The Next Big Thing (a published collection from the lectures). When he is not writing and teaching, Lee spends as much time as he can following the currents of rivers.
