A Voice for Compassionate Reasoning

Can any Canadians recommend good books on Canadian history and politics?

I’m a Yank who is actively planning to immigrate to Canada within the next 4 years. I’d like to read a college-level survey textbook on Canadian history: one that is used in Canadian colleges/universities or in advanced-level high school classes. I already own both volumes of a People’s History of Canada, but I’ve been told they are better used as supplements to a main text. Any recommendations? Thanks.
