comment
Uprising is a 2009 novel written by retired Canadian lieutenant-colonel Douglas Bland. Set 20 Minutes into the Future, it portrays an armed rebellion by First Nations (Native Canadians) across Canada, led by the charismatic and uncompromising Molly Grace. It was explicitly intended as a warning to Canadians; Bland is also the author of a number of nonfiction articles on the subject.

Apathetic Citizens: Part of the background to the story. Much as in real life, most Canadians don't know or care about the grievances of the country's indigenous peoples.

Downer Ending: Nobody really wins. By the end, hundreds if not thousands of people are dead, Canada has been occupied and annexed by the US, the natives have made no real gains, and the Americans probably aren't doing too well either given the disruption of their economy.

The Savage Indian: Largely averted. The NPA make an effort to avoid killing civilians. Implied to happen, though, after the raid on Stony Mountain Penitentiary and the release of the prisoners.

No Party Given: We are not given an indication of which party is in power at the time the book takes place. The prime minister shows some traits of both Liberal and Conservative leaders.
