Pearson -- Nobel Peace Prize winner and Canada's fourteenth prime minister -- author J.D.M. Stewart set out to bring the country's history to a new generation. The result is Canada's Prime Ministers, a lively, accessible chronicle of Canada's leaders, from Sir John A. Macdonald in 1867 to Mark Carney in 2025. With engaging prose and fresh insights, Stewart captures the defining moments of each prime minister's time in office, revealing how they managed relationships with Indigenous peoples, the environment, American presidents, and international powers. He also explores how their reputations have evolved -- who has been forgotten, who remains controversial, and who has become a lasting part of Canada's cultural fabric. Canada's Prime Ministers is a necessary and important book, intended both for newcomers to Canadian history and those who have loved it for a long time"--]]></description><link>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3968738</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3968738</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Stewart, J.

His mother called him "Bobby Mountain." Elders called him "Great Man." His people called him "Chief." Oil men called him "Mr. Cree." But the government called him "Number 53." Robert Cree was all of these while facing his people's oppressors and freeing the ghosts of tortured spirits. The Many Names of Robert Cree is his first-person account of survival in a brutally racist residential school system designed to erase traditional Indigenous culture, language, and knowledge. It is also the story of an epic life of struggle and healing, as Cree takes the wisdom of his ancestors and a message of reconciliation to the halls of government and to industry boardrooms. In the storytelling tradition of his people, Cree recounts his early years in the bush, his captivity at a residential school, his struggles with addiction, his political awakening as one of Canada's youngest First Nation Chiefs, and the rising Indigenous activism of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. He also recounts the oil industry's arrival on his poverty-stricken reserve and the ensuing struggle to balance economic opportunity with environmental challenges. Throughout, Cree's leadership is rooted in his unshakable commitment to the sacred traditional teachings of his people. His beliefs give him the strength to focus on hope, dignity, and building a better future for his community. Now a respected Elder and spiritual leader, Cree champions forgiveness as a powerful force that can bring healing and transformation for all"--]]></description><link>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3967712</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3967712</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Cree, Robert]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3967712040</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How A First Nations Chief Brought Ancient Wisdom to Big Business and Prosperity to His People</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781770418301/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Prince]]></title><description><![CDATA[The first comprehensive biography of Justin Trudeau as prime minister--an honest, compelling story of his government's triumphs and failures, based on interviews with over 200 insiders and Trudeau himself. As one of the longest-surviving prime ministers and son of the legendary Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Justin Trudeau is near royalty in Canada. But how did this former high school teacher with no noteworthy accomplishments put together a team that managed to take over the Liberal Party and bring it from third place to a majority government in 2015? The Prince shows just that. In this first comprehensive history of the Justin Trudeau government, veteran journalist Stephen Maher takes readers behind the scenes of a tumultuous decade of Canadian politics. Through hundreds of interviews with political insiders, he describes how Trudeau--a Canadian prince--had the famous name, the political instincts, the work ethic, and the confidence to overcome errors in judgment and build a global brand, winning in the boxing ring and on the debate stage. And then things changed as key people left the Trudeau team and the government lost direction. Trudeau is an enigmatic figure--a politician who has been in the public eye since childhood and seeks attention but has always concealed his actual feelings from those around him. He has shown admirable strength and skill, deftly handling Donald Trump in trade deals and international meetings and in leading Canada through the COVID-19 pandemic. He has delivered substantial results for people within his political coalition--the most successful attack on poverty in a generation, real progress on climate change, and a sustained application of money and political capital to Indigenous reconciliation. Even as the government overcame major challenges, however, errors in judgment and personality conflicts wasted political capital. Trudeau has struggled to manage his own office, with devastating consequences, and alienated people outside his coalition, to the point where he can't hold a public event without protesters screaming curses at him. The Prince takes readers behind the curtain as the government goes from triumph to embarrassment and back again, revealing the people, the conflicts, and the struggles both in the government and on the opposition benches. Above all, it traces why this ambitious government led by a global media darling is now so unpopular it is in danger of imminent collapse.]]></description><link>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3968722</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3968722</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Maher, Stephen]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3968722040</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Turbulent Reign of Justin Trudeau</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668024492/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Vrooms of the Foothills]]></title><description><![CDATA["'Singing a Cowboy Song' is Volume 5 in the series The Vrooms of the Foothills.

These were not solely intellectual efforts. He went to Montreal in 1776 to try to turn around the faltering occupation by American forces. As lead American negotiator at the 1782 peace negotiations with Britain in Paris, he held the fate of Canada in his hands. Ill health and other American priorities then forced him to abandon his decades-long campaign to possess Canada.Franklin's elevation to the status of an American icon has pushed this signal failure into the far reaches of collective memory in both Canada and the United States.

It was an election that, more than any vote in recent memory, split Canadians down the middle. On one side were voters convinced that their own country had been broken by years of abuse and mismanagement-Canadians who no longer believed in the state's ability to do its job, let alone build big things, and never mind fight and win a trade war. On the other side were those motivated by the existential threat posed by a single man: Donald Trump. Over thirty-five days of campaigning, Liberal leader Mark Carney and Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre criss-crossed the country speaking to those duelling anxieties. Journalist Justin Ling watched it all from up close, paying particular attention to how Canada's 45th general election scrambled its priorities and put the country at the forefront of the global resistance to a mad American president. Smart, witty, and superbly observed, The 51st State Votes is a gripping account of a campaign that promises to define Canada for the next century."--]]></description><link>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3968391</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3968391</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ling, Justin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3968391040</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Canada Versus Donald Trump</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781998365739/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The History of Canmore]]></title><description><![CDATA["A comprehensive yet reader-friendly history of the Canadian Rockies town of Canmore."--]]></description><link>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3967011</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3967011</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Alexander, Rob]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3967011040</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780981149158/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trading Fate]]></title><description><![CDATA[This uniquely west-coast take on Canada's origin story focuses on a long-forgotten event that nearly led to British Columbia becoming part of the United States. Long before a certain American president took to social media to express his desire to make Canada the fifty-first state, the west coast of what is today called British Columbia found itself in the crosshairs of two imperial powers, faced with the very real possibility of being ceded to the United States.In the summer of 1789, a political and trade dispute between the Nuu-chah-nulth Nation, imperial Spain, Great Britain, and the USA converged in Nootka Sound, off Vancouver Island. If not for the intervention the King George's Sound Trading Company, Vancouver Island and British Columbia's fate could have turned out very differently, and the concept of a Canada that extended from Atlantic to Pacific would have been finished before it even began.With clear, engaging prose, author Graeme Menzies lays out the setting, intrigue, and dynamic cast of characters that ultimately determined Canada's geographical fate. Released at a time when imperialism, sovereignty, and national identity are more relevant than ever, this book asks us to ponder the events that shaped a nation and established a relationship between neighbouring countries that has once again become precarious.]]></description><link>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3893604</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3893604</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Menzies, Graeme]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3893604040</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How A Little-known Company Stopped British Columbia From Becoming An American State</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781772035483/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Victory 1945]]></title><description><![CDATA["VE Day, May 8, 1945-it was a day of rejoicing, a day of reflection, a day Canadians had awaited for almost six years. The end of the Second World War in Europe brought a wave of joy and celebration from coast to coast. But with it also came the pain of husbands, fathers and sons lost, of immense human suffering, and of fear for the future. What would Canada be like in the years to come? Victory 1945: Canadians from War to Peace looks back to this time of tremendous change when the country moved from a terrible war to a period of unrivaled prosperity. Combining an informative, richly detailed and anecdotal narrative with a stunning collection of over 200 evocative images - photographs drawn from public and private archives, war posters and art, advertising and government propaganda - it captures the hopes and fears of Canadians overseas and at home, working together in common cause. As 1945 began, Canadian troops were joined in a bitter battle to end the war in Europe. At home civilians lived with rationing, bought Victory Bonds to aid the war effort, and worried about the fate of loved ones overseas. Morton and Granatstein trace the temper of the times, from bitter arguments over conscription to worries about teenagers growing up without fathers, from increasing demands for social security to the escapism of movies, music and dance. The country was changing out of all recognition. Hundreds of thousands of women were in the workforce, there were jobs for everyone, there was great national pride in the heroes of D-Day and the Allied drive towards the rest of Germany. In the end, a conflict that devastated two continents and left some 30 million dead made Canada into one of the richest countries in the world. Victory 1945 is a wonderfully nostalgic commemorative album that recreates those heady times and captures the spirit of Canadians as they moved from war to peace. A remarkable tribute to those who served in so many ways, filled with many personal photographs and memorabilia never before seen, it will bring back memories of the time when our country changed forever and introduce new generations to the sacrifices and struggles that defined us as a nation."--]]></description><link>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3943170</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S40C3943170</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Morton, Desmond]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 1995 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://lethlib.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3943170040</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Canadians From War to Peace</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780002550697/MC.GIF&amp;client=chinookarch&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mayor Rob Ford]]></title><description><![CDATA["Rob Ford -- the most ridiculed and scandal-ridden mayor -- is an international celebrity.

Ford, not just the favorite buffoon of late-night comics and journalists, was also a known alcoholic and the subject of legal, political, and police investigations -- stripped of his mayoral powers by Toronto's City Council and a subject in a murder investigation. Ford's former chief of staff Mark Towhey, who tried to wrangle Ford during his highly public meltdown, comes clean, filling in behind-the-scenes details and providing invaluable context. We go deep into Ford's personal life, including his addictions and his rivalry with his brother; we watch him as he runs Toronto; we overhear hair-raising late-night phone calls and see private, after-hours events.
