Summary

"Father Teaches Craft" explores the fading tradition of fathers passing down artisanal skills to their sons, a cornerstone of family and community life for centuries. It delves into how industrialization and the changing labor market disrupted this intergenerational learning, impacting both economic stability and the very definition of masculinity. The book highlights how this skill transmission went beyond mere job training; it solidified family bonds and ensured the continuation of valuable crafts.

 
The book examines the shift from handcrafts to mass production, revealing how the rise of factories rendered many inherited skills obsolete, leading to shifts in family dynamics and male identity. For instance, skills once vital for survival and status, such as blacksmithing or carpentry, diminished in value as machines took over. This societal change is not just a historical account but also an exploration of how the erosion of tangible skills can lead to a sense of disconnection.

 
 Spanning from pre-industrial societies to modern times, the book uses historical documents, oral histories, and sociological studies to paint a detailed picture of this transformation. It begins by establishing the historical context, then examines the impact of industrialization, and concludes by discussing the modern implications of this shift, offering a nuanced understanding of how economic changes have shaped society.

    The ability for the brain to encode, store, and recall information is known as memory. Experience serves as a roadmap for future action.Memory includes both consciously recalled facts and experienced details as well as deeply embedded knowledge that pops up without thought or even awareness. It serves as both a temporary information storage space and a more lasting record of what has been learned. Scientists have identified several different types of memory, including episodic, semantic, procedural, working, sensory, and prospective memory.From the vivid memories of episodic memory to the practical knowledge of procedural memory, each type of memory has a specific purpose. However, there are similarities in the way memory functions generally, and certain parts of the brain, like the hippocampus, are crucial for different types of memory.

    Father Charles Coughlin was a controversial Canadian-American Catholic priest based in Michigan. Calling for monetary reforms, the nationalization of major industries and railroads, and protection of the rights of labor, Coughlin used weekly radio broadcasts to reach a mass audience of up to thirty million listeners during the 1930s. 
 An early supporter of Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal, Coughlin later became a harsh critic. Coughlin’s commentary also became more anti-semitic, and he supported some of the fascist policies of Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito. As a result, many American Catholic leaders, as well as the Vatican, wanted Coughlin silenced. After the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the Roosevelt administration finally forced the cancellation of his radio program and forbade the dissemination of his newspaper, Social Justice. 
 In this recording, Coughlin the plight of farmers, oppressive bankers, and a living wage for American workers.

    Canada must prepare for an isolationist and unpredictable neighbor to the South should a MAGA leader gain the White House in 2025. 
 
 
 
The American-led global order has been increasingly challenged by Chinese assertiveness and Russian revanchism. As we enter this new era of great-power competition, Canadians tend to assume that the United States will continue to provide global leadership for the West. 
 
 
 
Canada Alone sketches the more dystopian future that is likely to result if the illiberal, anti-democratic, and authoritarian Make America Great Again movement regains power. Under the twin stresses of a reinvigorated America First policy and the purposeful abandonment of American global leadership, the West will likely fracture, leaving Canadians all alone with an increasingly dysfunctional United States. Canada Alone outlines what Canadians will need to navigate this deeply unfamiliar post-American world.
