One royal commission finally came to a close with a warning about the need for a new approach to Quebec. Another was launched to investigate, for the first time, the status of Canadian women. New attitudes to divorce and homosexuality were enshrined in law. A charismatic figure, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, made clear that the state had no place in the bedrooms of the nation. The seeds of Women's Lib, Gay Pride, and even Red Power, were sown in the centennial year. " .

Only slight edge wear; A bright, solid book, DJ in protective Mylar sleeve, unclipped. ; B&W Illustrations; 8.60 X 5.60 X 0.90 inches; 227 pages; Convincing proof that Canadian history is anything but dull, this book recounts the action-filled careers of some of the country's most successful and violent adventurers, licit and illicit."From Elizabethan privateers seeking fortune off the coasts of Newfoundland to the courtly warriors of Acadia, from the wildly successful letter-of-marque ships of Liverpool, Nova Scotia to the vicious sea fights of the War of 1812, Horwood and Butts reconstruct the lives of the country's finest fighting seamen. Inland, they consider the less reputable careers of the gangs who fought for control of gold and timber in the raw frontier settlements that would one day be Canada." .

In 1936, this carousel ended up at Happyland in Vancouver BC, which became Playland and part of the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE). There, it provided happiness for thousands of Vancouver and area children for more than 50 years. In 1988, the owners decided the ride was in too much of a state of disrepair to save, and sent it to the auction block. That is when the Lower Mainland Association of Friends of the Vancouver Carousel was formed to save and refurbish what they considered a city treasure. The book chronicles both the life history of the ride, and the process of restoration. Included are many colour photographs of each of the horses, plus other…

He argues that Canadians have never investigated the demographic reality that informs this bookthe fact that more than nine million Canadians claim Scottish or Irish heritage. Did the ancestors of more than one quarter of our population arrive without cultural baggage? No history, no values, no vision? Impossible. McGoogan writes that, to understand who we are and where we are going, Canadians must look to cultural genealogy. He builds on the work of Richard Dawkins, who contends that ideas and values (memes) can be transmitted from one generation to another.…
