During the 2015 federal election, approximately 1200 political campaigns were held across Canada. One of those campaigns belonged to author,…
journalist and political neophyte Noah Richler. Recruited by the NDP to run in the bellweather riding of Toronto-St Paul's, he was handed $350 and told he would lose. But as veteran NDP activists and social-media-savvy newbies joined his campaign, Richler found himself increasingly insulated from the stark reality that his campaign was flailing, imagining instead that he was headed to Parliament Hill. Richler recounts his time on the trail, from door knocking in Little Jamaica to being internet-shamed by experienced opponents. Lays bare what goes on behind the slogans, canvassing and talking points, told from the perspective of a political outsider. 2016.

After the referendum in 1980, Pierre Trudeau turned his sights on repatriating the Constitution in an effort to make Canada…
fully independent from Britain. What should have been a simple process snowballed into a complicated intrigue. Quebec, which thought its prerogatives would be threatened if the Constitution were repatriated, mounted a charm offensive in order to influence key British MPs. Not to be outdone, Canada’s native leaders, who felt betrayed by the British Crown, decided to enter the fray, determined to ensure that their cause would triumph. The English Labour Party had a view on the matter as well, which chiefly involved embarrassing Prime Minister Thatcher as thoroughly as possible. Describes how the maverick Trudeau and the uncompromising Thatcher entered into one of history’s most unlikely marriages of convenience in order to repatriate the Canadian Constitution. 2014. Uniform title: Bataille de Londres.

happen here. But McDonald believes that the Canadian Christian right - infuriated by the legalization of same-sex marriage and the increasing secularization of society - has been steadily building organizations, alliances and contacts that have put them close to the levers of power. Shows how the religious right's influence on the Harper government has led to important but little-known changes in everything from foreign policy and the makeup of the courts to funding for scientific research and social welfare programs. c2010.

Canada, under Harper, became a different sort of global citizen than before, one that occupied a new, unfamiliar position for…
this country--the odd man out. Deviating from the cross-party consensus of how Canada should govern itself outside its borders, Harper's leadership marked a turn from multilateralism, typified in his refusal to "go along to get along" on the world stage. This stance characterized Canadian relations with the United Nations and Canadian responses to political and military strife throughout the world. In the wake of Justin Trudeau's promise to return Canada to its pre-Harper state, this book examines Canada's global relations under Harper and their impact on the situation the Liberals have inherited. 2017.
