Two versions of Blair's book?
It is up to Canada to choose its partners. But Mr. Blair leaves little doubt about his own preference. The North American editions of A Journey: My Political Life begin with an encomium to the United States that, for reasons obvious to anyone familiar with recent history, is purposely absent from the version of the book he intended for domestic consumption.

At home, Mr. Blair’s perceived subservience to America – most controversially by thrusting his country into former president George W. Bush’s war in Iraq – continues to weigh on his legacy. But for his Canadian and American readers, Mr. Blair serves up a full confession.
