- Canada alone : navigating the post-American world / by Nossal, Kim Richard,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.We are likely to see the illiberal, anti-democratic, and authoritarian Make America Great Again movement dominate American politics in the 2020s. But if a MAGA Republican becomes president in 2025, the West will likely fracture under the stresses of a re-invigorated America First policy and the purposeful abandonment of American global leadership. This would leave Canadians all alone in North America with an increasingly dysfunctional U.S. In 'Canada Alone', Kim Richard Nossal outlines what Canadians will need to navigate this deeply unfamiliar post-American world.- Available copies: 1 / Total copies: 1

- The making of Canada : an epic history in twenty extraordinary lives / by Koabel, Greg,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.The Making of Canada is a bold reimagining of Canada's past, presenting the nation's evolution through the stories of twenty diverse and fascinating individuals who at critical moments in time shaped its identity. Moving beyond the familiar names of Champlain and Macdonald, historian Greg Koabel, creator of the popular Nations of Canada podcast, shines a spotlight on lesser-known figures such as William Weston, the risk-taking merchant who gambled on Atlantic exploration, and Shingwaukonse, the visionary Ojibwe chief who pioneered resource-sharing negotiations with Canada's government. From Indigenous leaders to Métis trailblazers and war heroes, Koabel interweaves personal lives with pivotal moments in Canada's journey, demonstrating how individuals struggles, regional challenges, and cross-cultural exchanges built the foundations of a modern nation. This insightful and delightfully readable book dismantles the linear narrative of Canada's history and reveals a more complex, diverse, and multi-faceted story, connecting Canada's past with its present in surprising and thought-provoking ways.- Subjects: Biographies.; Personal narratives.;

- Teardown : rebuilding democracy from the ground up / by Meslin, Dave,author.;
"Something is wrong with democracy. We can all see it's not working. From the recent American election to Brexit, around the word and close to home, the headlines are full of examples of governments misleading their people, parties misleading their delegates, and policy drifting further and further away from what polls keep showing people want. We always vote for change, and yet we always end up with the same old lies. If this just the way democracy works, we should just give up. If the game is rigged, why play it? But as Dave Meslin's career has shown, we can un-rig it. We can get rid of the corrupting influence of money on policy. We can get rid of governments that ignore their constituents. We can take away the blank cheques we write to our leaders each election. But a huge part of that is overcoming our own apathy. And that comes from knowing how to get things done. It's hard to change the world if you can't change a municipal by-law. Unrigged will show readers how to do both. And it will show us that these two challenges are not fundamentally different. Once we know that we can do it, and we know how to do it, we can get democracy working for us rather than against us. From throwing back the curtain of secrecy surrounding City Hall to the ongoing campaign for electoral reform, Dave Meslin has been both out on the street in marches and in the back rooms drawing up policy. With Unrigged he shows us how it's done."--- Subjects: Democracy; Political participation;
