Book Synopsis Canada's Prime Ministers, Macdonald to Trudeau by : Réal Bélanger
Download or read book Canada's Prime Ministers, Macdonald to Trudeau written by Réal Bélanger and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prime ministers, the central figures in parliamentary government and the leaders of political parties, fill dominant roles in Canada's political history. Their importance is recognized in the Dictionary of Canadian Biography/Dictionnaire biographique du Canada by the space devoted to them. Each political leader is presented by a notable Canadian scholar who, following the rigorous standards of research, writing, and critical judgement set by the DCB/DBC, has brought life and understanding to the careers of the individuals who have served in Canada's pre-eminent political office. Canada's Prime Ministers brings these well-written biographies together for the first time in order to provide readers with an opportunity to reflect on the striking variety of personalities who have succeeded in climbing the summit of Canada's public life and the different challenges they faced in their determination to stay there. What insights into the workings of our public life do the biographies of these fifteen leaders provide? Did these very different men have anything in common that determined their success? The DCB/DBC biographies make it clear that although there is no standard mould that shapes Canadian prime ministers, prime ministerial success depends on both "character and circumstance." The biographies suggest that one of the only commonalities between the prime ministers was an unstable mixture of personal ambition and a sense of obligation toward their country and their political party. Pragmatism in making policy and in devising strategies of survival, rather than principle or ideology, often seems the guiding determinant in the success of Canada's federal political leaders. For a Canadian prime minister there is usually no higher ground than the claim to be the defender of national unity against threats of disruption and disintegration. In addition to these themes, the DCB/DBC's fifteen biographies of Canada's prime ministers is also an important historical reference tool, providing details about personal lives, sketches of close associates, a narrative of major events, and an assessment of accomplishments and failures set against the backdrop of economic and demographic growth, the social crisis of depressions, and the impact of world events. Together, they recreate the political and social panorama stretching from the campaign for confederation in 1867 to the struggle to entrench the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in the new Constitution of 1982. Told through the lives of Canada's leading politicians this is a remarkable, engrossing, documented account of modern Canadian history.

Book excerpt: John A. Macdonald, the architect of the Dominion of Canada, was an enigmatic individual whose pragmatism knew no bounds. From humble beginnings in Glasgow, Scotland to growing up in Kingston, Ontario to the halls of Parliament Hill, John A. Macdonald would create a legacy forged in the "wilderness" of British North America. He was beset with tragic personal loss, joined the militia to repel American invaders during the Rebellions of 1837, though never firing a shot, and then defended the leader of that invasion in a court of law. He rose from municipal politics to Premier of the colonial government of Canada West, and later, Prime Minister of Canada for nearly nineteen years. He also left a terrible legacy regarding the Indigenous citizens of this country, which still boils over to this day. Canadians are looking at John A. Macdonald through an ever-changing lens. Opinions about the actions and legacy of our first Prime Minister continue to change and evolve. Who exactly was this man? What did he do? How did he live his political and personal life? John A. Macdonald Canada's First Prime Minister is a new biography retold in a fresh and succinct way for a new generation of readers who should be told all the ways he managed to create and shape the country of Canada, for good or bad.

Book Synopsis Prime Ministerial Power in Canada by : Patrice Dutil
Download or read book Prime Ministerial Power in Canada written by Patrice Dutil and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2017-05-26 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Canadians lament that prime ministerial power has become too concentrated since the 1970s. This book contradicts this view by demonstrating how prime ministerial power was centralized from the very beginning of Confederation and that the first three important prime ministers – Macdonald, Laurier, and Borden – channelled that centralizing impulse to adapt to the circumstances they faced. Using a variety of innovative approaches, Patrice Dutil focuses on the managerial philosophies of each of the prime ministers. He shows that by securing a firm grip on the instruments of governance these early first ministers inevitably shaped the administrations they headed, as well as those that followed.
