- Madeleine's war : a novel / by Watson, Peter,1943-;
"A compulsively readable blend of romance and drama based on actual events in Britain and France leading up to D-Day in 1944. Matthew Hammond is a British military officer posted to the European theater during World War II. He sustained a serious injury on the front lines, so bad, in fact, that it cost him a lung. Now he is back in England, unable to fight, but he continues to serve his country by training new resistance fighters. One of the recruits under his tutelage is Madeleine, a spellbinding, impassioned French-Canadian with eyes of "burnished whiskey." Despite protocols discouraging romance, they are deeply in love, and Matthew is torn about putting Madeleine's life in danger. He already has one tragic affair with a Resistance fighter under his belt--his former lover, Celestine, was killed because her assassination of a German doctor went awry. But the Allies are mustering all their resources for crucial beach landings in Normandy, and Matthew knows his unit will need to play a role. It will be a very dangerous mission: parachuting in behind the Nazi line. As Madeleine progresses through the training with her fellow recruits, Matthew can only hope that luck will guide her through when the drop finally arrives. "--Provided by publisher.

- No second chances : women and political power in Canada / by Graham, Kate,1984-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."As of 2021, only thirteen women had reached Canada's top political posts, elected or appointed provincial premier or prime minister. They have represented all three main political parties and served across provinces and territories from coast to coast to coast. No Second Chances shares the stories of the rise and fall of women in Canada's most senior political roles in the words of the leaders themselves. This book is based on interviews conducted for the Canada 2020 No Second Chances podcast. Graham provides readers with a rare glimpse into the lives of female political leaders and examines why more women have not played this role in Canada from the perspectives of the women who know this story best."--

- Kenneyism : Jason Kenney's pursuit of power / by Appel, Jeremy,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The harsh moralistic worldview of Jason Kenney has spurred right-wing populism to the mainstream in Canadian politics, but he unleashed forces he couldn't control. From Jason Kenney's days as an anti-abortion activist at the University of San Francisco, and through his years as a Canadian Taxpayers Federation lobbyist, Reform MP, top cabinet minister in the Harper government, and Alberta premier, he has been single-mindedly driven to bring his harsh moralistic worldview into the mainstream. Kenney took on the old guard of Canada's liberal consensus and won, playing a key role in shifting the country's political discussion to the right. But the very right-wing populist forces Kenney cultivated would come back to haunt him. Jeremy Appel has observed Alberta politics and reported on various aspects of Kenney's agenda since 2017, when Kenney made his way across the province in his big blue pickup truck to rile up aggrieved conservatives. Kenneyism examines Kenney's political beliefs, his rise through federal political ranks, and his ultimate resignation from the leadership of the United Conservative Party."--
