How different it was : Canadians at the time of confederation / by Goodspeed, Michael J.(Michael James),1951-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Too often we think of Victorian Canada as dull. We imagine our ancestors as sepia-tinged, dour, excruciatingly respectable figures sitting stiffly in over-decorated parlours. In How Different It Was, Michael J. Goodspeed changes all that, bringing to life the tumult and enthusiasm of ordinary and unconventional Canadians--from across the country and every walk of life--in an extraordinary time. The political manoeuvring and power struggles of the decades when Canada was emerging as a nation are well known, but we are less familiar with the lives and circumstances of everyday Canadians in the Confederation era. How Different It Was vividly brings to life in dramatic detail the lifestyles, attitudes, habits, and mindset of a colourful generation of Canadians who were, in so many ways, so different from our own."--Provided by publisher.

The big fix : how companies capture markets and harm Canadians / by Hearn, Denise,1986-author.; Bednar, Vass,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."More and more of the Canadian economy is dominated by a handful of huge companies that control what we buy, how we work, and which other businesses can or can't thrive. Beyond the obvious examples of airlines, telcos, grocery chains, and banks, The Big Fix: How Companies Capture Markets and Harm Canadians shows how corporate concentration is growing across many industries, leading to higher prices for consumers, lower worker's wages, more inequality, fewer startups, less innovation, and lower growth and productivity. In this galvanizing book, Hearn and Bednar show how companies perpetuate the illusion of rivalry to disguise their dominance, and how they've shifted from competing within industries to accumulating assets across industries, further entrenching their power. The authors coach readers on how to think about competition, how markets are made and remade, and how the right set of attitudes and policies reduce corporate power and rebalance it throughout the economy. The future of Canada's economy is up for grabs, and The Big Fix shows how the country can achieve a more innovative, productive, and livable economy for all Canadians."--

"Moving the museum : Indigenous & Canadian Art at the AGO documents the reopening of the J.S. McLean Centre for Indigenous + Canadian Art with a renewed focus on the AGO's Indigenous art collection.

Lavishly illustrated with more than 100 reproductions, Indigenous & Canadian Art at the AGO features the work of First Nations artists--including Carl Beam, Rebecca Belmore, and Kent Monkman--along with work by Inuit artists like Shuvinai Ashoona and Annie Pootoogook.

In the light of dawn : the history and legacy of a Black Canadian community / by Carter, Marie,1953-author.; Cooper, Afua,writer of foreword.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Illuminating two hundred years of lost Black history through the lens of an iconic abolitionist settlement. In the Light of Dawn shares the compelling story of how the iconic Dawn Settlement -- now largely within the boundaries of Dresden, Ontario -- shaped (and was shaped by) a broader course of international events along a 200-year continuum of resistance and contribution. Using a geographic approach, the book reveals that the town's size, scope, and importance eclipses its previous narrow interpretations as a "failed" utopian colony at a terminus of the Underground Railroad led by the Reverend Josiah Henson (the "real Uncle Tom" of Harriet Beecher Stowe's landmark anti-slavery novel). Beyond Henson, Dawn's history contains familiar figures like Frederick Douglass and Rosa Parks as well as a pantheon of lesser known but equally important Black leaders including Dennis Hill, William Whipper, William Carter, and Hugh Burnett. The trajectories of Dawn's residents often intersect with pivotal international events from the time of the fur trade to the modern Civil Rights movement. Activism from 19th-century Pennsylvania's Black Elite and other major American centres run like a golden thread through successive generations in Dawn, resulting in landmark actions such as the challenge to segregation of private businesses and publicly funded schools. Dawn's people not only resisted slavery and oppression but also made successful and lasting contributions to the growth of local communities and wider society. Far from being a failed colony, the Dawn Settlement emerges as a vibrant community of racial and economic diversity, where people of agency and ability influenced wider societal change. In the Light of Dawn presents an expansive yet nuanced account of a small rural town that challenges traditional notions of Black History and the contributions of early Black pioneers, leaving behind an enduring legacy. Marie Carter is a lifelong resident of Dresden, Ontario, where she researches and writes about the history of her community, the former Dawn Settlement area. Her eclectic career has included graphic artist, reporter-photographer for community newspapers and church press, and rural organizer of outreach to migrant agricultural workers"--
