Canada Reads 2017: ALL the highlights
From powerful opening statements to emotional revelations, re-live the memorable moments from this year's show.
It was a week of challenging questions, fierce debate and intense votes. Canada Reads is often referred to as "the battle of the books," and this year's group of panellists certainly lived up to that moniker. We've been collecting highlight clips from all four days of the show which you can watch above. After four days of debating, Fifteen Dogs by André Alexis, defended by Humble The Poet, was declared the winner of Canada Reads 2017.
