Book excerpt: Following the violence and death on Bloody Saturday, June 21, 1919 that crushed the Winnipeg General Strike, corrupt sedition trials imprisoned strike leaders. So-called aliens were deported as the iron-fist of an unforgiving establishment sought to invoke control over a resistant workforce. Hammond Cullers, a crusading crown attorney, uses the trials to further his vendetta against the infant unions and as a tool to pave the way to political power. Can an unlikely coalition of defence attorneys, anarchists and suffragettes prevent another defeat by a perverse group of business and industrial power brokers? Follow CM Klyne's story as he explores how political trickery, questionable legal practices and personal agendas combine to destroy those who would change a world steeped in tradition and conformity. The Gratitude of Wasps challenges us to think about our Canadian values and beliefs, our culture of ethnocentricity and whether we can embrace the diversity that has brought us to our current cultural realities. This timely story is a reminder that our country is an alloy rather than an element.
