It follows that there's no standard way of being Canadian, beyond obeying the law. \u003ci\u003eToronto Star\u003c\/i\u003e editor Haroon Siddiqui shows how Canada let him succeed on his own terms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComing from India in 1967, he didn't do in Rome as some Romans expected him to. He refused to forget his past. He didn't change his name, didn't dilute his dignity, didn't compromise his conscience or his dissident views. Championed immigration and multiculturalism when that was not popular. Upbraided media colleagues for being white-centric, Orientalist. Pioneered cross-cultural journalism, bridging divided communities. Insisted it was un-Canadian to use free speech as a licence for hate speech. Opposed the limitless American war on terror, the invasion of Iraq, the long war on Afghanistan. Exposed how liberals could also be narrow-minded and nasty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere he shares such journalistic forays into the corridors of power, war zones, and cultural minefields. He also takes the reader along his personal journey from British colonial India to the evolution of Canada as the only Western nation where skin colour is no longer a fault line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHaroon Siddiqui\u003c\/b\u003e is editorial page editor emeritus of the \u003ci\u003eToronto Star\u003c\/i\u003e, Canada's largest paper, and a senior fellow at Massey College.
