Canada's state police : 150 years of the RCMP / by Marquis, Greg,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Stripping away the myth of the RCMP, historian Greg Marquis offers an account of 150 years of a state police force acting on behalf of the wealthy and powerful. From its start policing Indigenous people in western Canada, the RCMP has gone on to surveil, harass and seek to jail labour organisers, leftist idealists, Quebec sovereigntists, and now environmental activists. The RCMP has often made itself judge, jury, and executioner of who can live unmolested in Canada. Drawing upon all the available literature on the organisation's history, historian Greg Marquis lays bare 150 years of state police action. He highlights the force's racism, sexism, misogyny, and internal dysfunctions. An invaluable resource, this book challenges the carefully constructed myths about the RCMP's role in Canadian life"--

Unravelling MAiD in Canada : euthanasia and assisted suicide as medical care / by Coelho, Ramona,editor.; Gaind, K. Sonu,editor.; Lemmens, Trudo,editor.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Since Canada legalized in 2016 medical assistance in dying (MAiD), which encompasses both euthanasia and assisted suicide, more than 60,000 Canadians have died by MAiD, the highest number in the world. Not only the internationally unprecedented increase in numbers, but also the expansion of MAiD outside the end-of-life context and plans to introduce MAiD for sole reasons of mental illness, continue to evoke heated societal and political debate. This book discusses in detail how Canada's MAiD law developed and what some of the key social justice and health care concerns are, particularly for specific populations such as disabled persons (including those with mental disabilities) and Indigenous people. Canadian developments are also closely watched around the world. Countries that legalized some form of MAiD or are debating whether to go that route face questions about the consequences of legalization; about what forms of MAiD could be legalized (assisted suicide or euthanasia); and about the efficacy of safeguards. Many want to understand why Canada's MAiD practice has bypassed the most liberal euthanasia regimes in the world and what the implications are for health care and social justice. The chapters in this book are written by leading legal, medical and disability experts who participated directly in the debate. They explore key health care and social justice related issues around the Canadian MAiD law and policy and its potential further expansion. This book will be of interest to Canadian and international academic experts, medical professionals, politicians, students, the legal community, and the broader public."--

Canada's most haunted [videorecording] : paranormal encounters in the Great White North / by World Wide Multi Media (Firm);
Canada has a rich tradition of frightening paranormal activity from one end of the country to the other. Beginning with British Columbia, you will find White Rock Players Club, a 100 year old playhouse that has more than its share of ghostly characters. The Four-Mile House, an upscale restaurant that was once a bordello, contains entities in search of mischief and vengeance. At the Beban House, a mysterious ghost child can be found slamming doors, hurling objects and frightening visitors. And don't forget Andrade House, where an eccentric artist shares his studio with the ghost of a young woman. Moving on to Ontario, we find the Bytown Museum at the gateway to the Rideau Canal, which may also be a gateway to the paranormal; as well as Sax's Fish and Chips which is home to as many as 16 spirits. The Halifax Club in Nova Scotia is a private gentlemen's club known for its elite membership, and the ghosts of some of these men still call it home. Canadian ghosts are also fond of the water. In St. John, New Brunswick the frigate Genii was lost with all hands - but one sailor lingers on in spirit, haunting both the beach where his lifeless body washed ashore and the nearby mansion where he was laid out for burial. In Quebec a thirty-foot lake monster stalks the peaceful waters of Lake Memphremagog. In British Columbia, a decommissioned freighter known as the Queen Mary is haunted by a foul tempered ghost with an appetite for destruction. Prepare for an exciting thrill ride to some of Canada's most haunted locations.E.DVD.
