Canada Reads is an annual “battle of the books” competition organized and broadcast by Canada‘s public broadcaster, the CBC. The program has aired in two distinct editions, the English-language Canada Reads on CBC Radio One, and the French-language Le Combat des livres on Ici Radio-Canada Première.
During Canada Reads, five personalities champion five different books, each champion extolling the merits of one of the titles. The debate is broadcast over a series of five programs. At the end of each episode, the panelists vote one title out of the competition until only one book remains. This book is then billed as the book that all of Canada should read.
The debates will take place March 28-31, 2022.
Here is the list of the 2022 Canada Reads Contenders:
