Where to from here : a path to Canadian prosperity / by Morneau, Bill,author.; Reynolds, John(John Lawrence),author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."Bill Morneau's experience as Canada's finance minister crystalized his vision for the country's potential for growth and prosperity. Where To from Here looks backward with coolness and candor and forward with a fresh vision of all that Canada can--and must--become. Much of the world reacted with surprise and admiration to the results of the 2015 Canadian federal election and the makeup of the government it produced. Led by a young charismatic leader with a storied family legacy on Parliament Hill, the Liberal government scored an historic victory, rising from third-party status to substantial majority. With a gender-equal cabinet and an ambitious agenda, it heralded a new approach to the country's federal politics. After an exciting and productive five years spent focused on domestic and global issues, Finance Minister Bill Morneau decided to take his leave from the same government. What prompted him to abandon one of the most powerful political offices in the country? How much of his decision was based on the often brutal give-and-take of politics? When did the penny drop, persuading one of Trudeau's brightest lights to shift his talents and energies elsewhere? In his own persuasive voice, Bill Morneau paints a positive picture, tracing his widely lauded entry into the political arena, the arc of his career in politics, major accomplishments and missed opportunities, his surprising exit, and a host of revealing episodes between the events. Told with measures of both pride and regret, he explores personalities, achievements, and failures with candor. Morneau's experience crystalized his vision for Canada and its potential for growth and prosperity. He shares a vision clearly and provocatively expressed, drafting a blueprint for the country's future. Where To from Here looks backward with coolness and candor and forward with a fresh vision of all that Canada can--and must--become."--

Includes bibliographical references and index."For every kid who's tired of eating vegetables and going to bed on time, here's a book that helps them figure out how to get their own way. Examining both sides of five issues with big kid appeal (eating vegetables, bedtimes, screentime, homework, and doing chores), award-winning author Tanya Lloyd Kyi walks readers through the basics of debate skills, critical thinking and media literacy. How to pick a side, do your research, construct your argument, and rebut your opponent's case are all explained step by step as kids follow a cast of diverse characters debating one another. And along the way, readers will learn key tips about debating and public speaking (stand up straight! make eye contact!) as they consider the pros and cons of broccoli, curfews, and more. Not even question has an easy yes or no answer, and readers might be surprised to find themselves on the side of strict bedtimes and screentime limits. Critical thinking becomes fun -- and a strategy for out-witting your parents -- in this lively, thoroughly researched look at debating."--

I have something to say : mastering the art of public speaking in an age of disconnection / by Bowe, John,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."In eleventh grade, John Bowe's cousin Bill asked a classmate to prom. She said no. Bill responded by moving to the family basement--and staying there for the next forty-three years. But in 1992, at the age of fifty-nine, Bill surprised everyone who knew him: He got married. Bowe learned that Bill credited his turnaround to a non profit club he'd joined called Toastmasters International. Fascinated by the idea that speech training seemed to foster the kind of psychological well-being more commonly sought through expensive psychiatric treatment, and intrigued by the notion that words could serve as medicine-- healing the shy, connecting the disconnected, and mending our frayed social fabric--Bowe sets out to learn for himself what he'd gathered from so many others: When you learn to speak in public, you undergo a profound transformation that has very little to do with standing at a podium. Through his own Toastmasters journey, Bowe learns much more than how to overcome the nervousness associated with giving a speech. He learns that public speaking is really about the audience--it's the art of paying attention. Ultimately, Bowe finds that the key to eloquence, to overcoming shyness, is not mastering one's self or one's fears, but honing one's ability to empathize, pay attention to other people, and connect"--
