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."--

Deep rooted [videorecording] : exploring the mental health crisis in Canadian agriculture / by Cronk, Lynn,on-screen participant.; Norman, Kole,on-screen participant.; Raymond, Chantal,on-screen participant.; Boersma, Darryl,on-screen participant.; Wickiam, Van,film producer.; McDonnell, Kyle,film director.; McIntyre Media,film distributor.;
Featuring: Lynn Cronk, Kole Norman, Chantal Raymond, Darryl Boersma.The film follows four agriculture producers in discussing their mental health and how it relates to farming. There are an immeasurable number of stressors facing farmers and ranchers across the country, from weather and climate change, through to succession planning and farming legacy. Through these four agriculture producers, we get a glimpse into how and why this crisis persists in the farming community. With the help of experts and researchers, Deep Rooted also explores farm culture and its relationship to mental health. Stigmatization around mental health; depression, anxiety, stress and even suicide, continues to be perpetuated in the agricultural community, only deepening the taboo nature of seeking mental health care. The harsh reality is that those working in the agriculture industry continue to be one of the most vulnerable and underserved populations in relation to their mental health. Deep Rooted seeks to connect with farmers and agriculture workers; to give them a voice and humanize their struggle to bring attention to a problem that continues to worsen.E.DVD.

Punching Above Our Weight The Canadian Military at War Since 1867 [electronic resource] : by Borys, David A..aut; cloudLibrary;
“Quick-paced, well-researched and well-illustrated, this is the first new history of Canada’s armed forces in decades.” — J. L. Granatstein, author of Canada’s Army Punching Above Our Weight takes readers on a riveting exploration spanning one hundred and fifty years of Canadian forces. This photograph-rich history of 150 years of the Canadian military traces the evolution of the country’s armed forces from a small, underfunded, poorly trained militia to the modern, effective military it is today. From the Red River Resistance and the Boer War to modern peacekeeping and the long war in Afghanistan, David A. Borys details the conflicts and operations that Canadian soldiers have served in. He highlights the key battles, decisive moments, and significant people that came to define Canada’s participation and helped cement its global reputation. Borys also explores the challenges that the Canadian nation and its military have faced over those years, including major cultural and demographic shifts, a continual struggle for resources from generally disinterested governments, battlefield failures, notorious and shocking scandals, along with ever-changing global threats. Punching Above Our Weight brings to light a new perspective on the Canadian military and its place in the world over the past one hundred and fifty years.General adult.
