On Canadian democracy / by Manthorpe, Jonathan,author.;
"The foundations of Canadian democracy have always been underscored by its instability. In a country with such rich geographic, cultural, and communal diversity, the tenets of its democracy contradict the very nature of the nation. Canadian-made democracy was borne from the patriation of the Constitution from Britain only 42 years ago. Yet the trepid and impetuous actions of our political leaders have led to a complete failure in reforming this system. What remains is our current political system -- an increasingly dysfunctional democracy. Canadians feel increasingly abandoned by their government, irritated by elections that bring no change, and further dispirited as economic disparity mounts. On Canadian Democracy addresses the issues afflicting our country's democracy and it seeks out the remedies and treatments to this failing system. Sparking discussion, challenging long-existing structures, and asking difficult questions -- Manthorpe is determined to renew hope among Canadians through the means of reformation."--

Something for everyone / by Moore, Lisa Lynne,1964-author.;
"Internationally celebrated as one of writing's most gifted, unique stylists, Lisa Moore returns with her third story collection, a soaring chorus of voices, dreams, loves, and lives. Taking us from the Fjord of Eternity to the streets of St. John's and the swamps of Orlando, these stories show us the timeless, the tragic, and the miraculous hidden in the underbelly of our everyday lives. A missing rock god may have jumped a cruise ship - in the Arctic. A grieving young woman may live next to a serial rapist. A man's last day on earth replays in the minds of others in a furiously sensual, heartrending fugue. Something for Everyone finds Moore fired with peak ambition - she seems bent on nothing less than rewiring the circuitry of the short story itself."--

Talking to Canadians : a memoir / by Mercer, Rick,1969-author.;
"Canada's beloved comic genius tells his own story for the first time. What is Rick Mercer going to do now? That was the question on everyone's lips when the beloved comedian retired his hugely successful TV show after 15 seasons--and at the peak of its popularity. The answer came not long after, when he roared back in a new role as stand-up-comedian, playing to sold-out houses wherever he appeared. And then Covid-19 struck. And his legions of fans began asking again: What is Rick Mercer going to do now? Well, for one thing, he's been writing a comic masterpiece. For the first time, this most private of public figures has turned the spotlight on himself, in a memoir that's as revealing as it is hilarious. In riveting anecdotal style, Rick charts his rise from highly unpromising schoolboy (in his reports "the word 'disappointment' appeared a fair bit") to the heights of TV fame. Along the way came an amazing break when, not long out of his teens, his one-man show Show Me the Button, I'll Push It. Or, Charles Lynch Must Die, became an overnight sensation--thanks in part to a bizarre ambush by its target, Charles Lynch himself. That's one story you won't soon forget, and this book is full of them. There's a tale of how little Rick helped himself to a tree from the neighbours' garden that's set to become a new Christmas classic. There's Rick the aspiring actor, braving "the scariest thing I have ever done in my life" by performing with the Newfoundland Shakespeare Company; unforgettable scenes with politicians of every variety, from Jean Chretien to George W. Bush to Stockwell Day; and a wealth of behind-the-scenes revelations about the origins and making of This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Made in Canada, and Talking to Americans. All leading of course to the greenlighting of that mega-hit, Rick Mercer Report ... It's a life so packed with incident (did we mention Bosnia and Kabul?) and laughter we can only hope that a future answer to "What is Rick Mercer going to do now?" is: "Write volume two.""--
