July 7, 2014 coverWe all know Canada sits on top of the world geographically, but as our Canada Day double issue reveals, we are global leaders in many surprising ways.

In the print and tablet edition — and coming soon online — we’ll present aerial photographs of Canada as you’ve never seen it before. In an eight-page map extravaganza in our print and digital edition, we’ll present a whole new way of looking at Canada. Watch for these features on the site closer to Canada Day.

During the making of this issue, we spent time with P.K. Subban. The son of Caribbean immigrants, and one of three brothers drafted into the NHL, hockey’s most dynamic player was front and centre in the Montreal Canadiens’ deep run in this year’s Stanley Cup playoffs. As our cover suggests, he kicked back poolside with Maclean’s to reflect on summer, family, hockey and country.
