Look at the birds! : Canada / by Peng, Xiaofang.;
"Look at the Birds! is a sweet story about a robin family-a Robin Mommy, a Robin Daddy and a whole revolving nest of robin children. It tracks the family's evolution, from building the nest and hatching the eggs, to feeding the baby birds, singing to them and watching over their growth until, at last, they are ready to leave home. Throughout, Robin Daddy and Robin Mommy show their love for their babies, especially the loving Birdie Daddy. Accompanied by the author's real-life photos of robins in her yard, Look at the Birds! takes flight with its lovely story-about a bird's life cycle, yes, but also about sacrifice and care, family, and the enduring power of love."--from Amazon.

My fight for Canadian healthcare : a thirty-year battle to put patients first / by Day, Brian,1947-author.;
Includes bibliographical references."On July 15, 2022, the British Columbia Court of Appeal ruled that patients in BC were suffering, and many risked dying, as a result of delayed access to care. The ruling included a conclusion that the delays were caused by planned and deliberate government strategies to limit resources and capacity. Despite that, they upheld laws that cause patients to die. Their rationale was that allowing non-government options, which is something every other country on the planet allows, might negatively impact our existing, grossly underperforming, health system. Canada is currently ranked 10th out of 10 universal health systems in highly developed countries. The Appeal Court made its decision despite an admission that the trial data "represents real people, with real pain, a real setbacks, and real risk of dying prematurely" and that "waiting inherently carries the risk of death." This book traces a personal journey through a Canadian health system that has reached the point of imposing serious harm on patients. Governments have stubbornly adhered to principles developed over 60 years ago. Medicare was supposed to act as a safety net. Instead, it has become a trap in which patients are forced to suffer. Wole Soyinka, the 1986 Nobel Prize winner for literature, once stated: "Books and all forms of writing have always been objects of terror to those who seek to suppress the truth." While this book may not strike terror in those who have opposed me over the years, I hope it will at least promote guilt in the hearts of those who fought us in the courtroom, many of whom have benefitted from their own extensive use of private clinics, including ours"--

Original highways : travelling the great rivers of Canada / by MacGregor, Roy,1948-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Expanding on his landmark Globe and Mail series in which he documented his travels down 16 of Canada's great rivers, Roy MacGregor tells the story of our country through the stories of its original highways, and how they sustain our spirit, identity and economy--past, present and future. No country is more blessed with fresh water than Canada. From the mouth of the Fraser River in BC, to the Bow in Alberta, the Red in Manitoba, the Gatineau, the Saint John and the most historic of all Canada's rivers, the St. Lawrence, our beloved chronicler of Canadian life, Roy MacGregor, has paddled, sailed and traversed their lengths, learned their stories and secrets, and the tales of centuries lived on their rapids and riverbanks. He raises lost tales, like that of the Great Tax Revolt of the Gatineau River, and reconsiders histories like that of the Irish would-be settlers who died on Grosse Ile and the incredible resilience of settlers in the Red River Valley. Along the Grand, the Ottawa and others, he meets the successful conservationists behind the resuscitation of polluted wetlands, including even Toronto's Don, the most abused river in Canada (where he witnesses families of mink, returned to play on its banks). Long before our national railroad was built, our rivers held Canada together; in these sixteen portraits, filled with yesterday's adventures and tomorrow's promise, MacGregor weaves together a story of Canada and its ongoing relationship with its most precious resource."--
