“Halifax Chronicle-Herald and Mail-Star cartoonist Bruce MacKinnon is less well-known outside the Maritimes than he deserves to be. He has won his share of prizes, but MacKinnon’s cartoons—unlike those of his cartoonist colleagues in the central Canadian media—have not yet attracted a wide national audience. They should. He has a wicked eye, the distinctive Canadian knack for skewering the great and powerful, puncturing pomposity, and standing up for the underdog. George Bush, for example, is a baseball pitcher (number 00, of course) pitching the world at a bat labelled Iraq. Paul Martin, smiling cheerfully with his “budget boots” up on his desk, has Atlantic Canada squashed on his sole. Kim Campbell is a relief pitcher (numbered 0) with “Wild Thing” on her uniformed back, watching a home run sail out of the park. That splendid juxtaposition of the Blue Jays’ World Series win and the Tories’ election slaughter would justify buying the book, even if we did not have a number of splendid Mulroney cartoons.” -Reviewed by J.L. Granatstein, History professor at York University and the co-author of the Dictionary of Canadian Military History.
