This book was released on 2011-04-05 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was Sir John A. Macdonald's last campaign. His Conservatives had dominated Canadian politics since Confederation. Their National Policy, which protected Canadian manufacturers from foreign competition, was well established and affection for the "Old Man" was deep and widespread. The Liberal leader, Wilfrid Laurier, was new in the job and uncertain that a Roman Catholic from Quebec had any chance of winning votes outside his home province. But Macdonald's decision to hang Louis Riel had split the country, the economy was in the doldrums, and a movement in support of free trade with the United States gave the Liberals hope. In this richly textured narrative, Christopher Pennington spins a colourful tale of a country poised to make a momentous choice and of nineteenth century politics both at its most principled and at its most corrupt.

Vets. Comrades. A single day changed their lives forever. From the producer of the documentary Victory from Above, Lance Goddard's D-Day, Juno Beach: Canada's 24 Hours of Destiny is a montage of first-hand accounts, memories, and a pictorial archive of that day, sixty years ago. It captures all of the pride, patriotism, and collective will of Canadians who served and endured the horrific events of that day for a greater cause - for freedom, to defeat Hitler, to liberate Europe. From the beginning, at 0000 hours, to the end, 24 hours later, the voices of over thirty veterans unravel the battle with recollections, tactical details, and, often, self-effacing humour - but always at the very heart of Goddard's D-Day: Juno Beach, Canada's 24 Hours of Destiny, the message, sixty years later, is clear... lest we forget.

Book excerpt: In this third volume of the series, we introduce the story of several leading nation builders of the 20th century whose lives and struggle have been obscured by establishment historians. We document for the first time in one location the interconnected networks of B.C.'s Premier W.A.C. Bennett, Canada's "Minister of Everything" C.D. Howe, Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, and Quebec's Premiers Maurice Duplessis, Paul Sauve and Daniel Johnson who were all aided by republican leaders of America and France during the post WWII period. These figures conducted a battle with the Rhodes Scholar-infested networks which have come to be known as the Deep State in our modern era, and in spite of their limitations, these figures all distinguished themselves by their genuine patriotism and love of scientific and technological progress.Providing an additional dimension to this story of Canada's untold history, researcher Richard Saunders has contributed a chapter entitled "The Ugly Truth of General Andrew Macnaughton". This important research ties into the Canadian aspect of the assassination of John F. Kennedy and sabotaging of the great North American Water and Power Alliance in a surprising manner as the myth of the heroic Macnaughton is put to rest.

Book excerpt: Blood and Daring will change our views not just of Canada's relationship with the United States, but of the Civil War, Confederation and Canada itself. In Blood and Daring, lauded historian John Boyko makes a compelling argument that Confederation occurred when and as it did largely because of the pressures of the Civil War. Many readers will be shocked by Canada's deep connection to the war—Canadians fought in every major battle, supplied arms to the South, and many key Confederate meetings took place on Canadian soil. Filled with engaging stories and astonishing facts from previously unaccessed primary sources, Boyko's fascinating new interpretation of the war will appeal to all readers of history.

Book excerpt: BC Bestseller!Even before it was a city, Vancouver was a property speculator's wet dream."There are more speculators about New Westminster and Victoria than there were in Winnipeg during the boom," CPR Chief WC Van Horne warned a friend in 1884, "and they are a much sharper lot. Nearly every person is more or less interested and you will have to be on your guard against all of them."Ever since Europeans first laid claim to the Squamish Nation territory in the 1870s, the real estate industry has held the region in its grip. Its influence has been grotesquely pervasive at every level of civic life, determining landmarks like Stanley Park and City Hall, as well as street names, neighbourhoods, even the name "Vancouver" itself. Land of Destiny aims to explore that influence, starting in 1862, with the first sale of land in the West End, and continuing up until the housing crisis of today. It will explore the backroom dealings, the skulduggery and nepotism, the racism and the obscene profits, while at the same time revealing that the same forces which made Vancouver what it is, speculation and global capital, are the same ones that shape it today, showing that more than anything else, the history of real estate and the history of Vancouver are one and the same.And it's been dirty as hell.About the Series: Land of Destiny is the first title in Anvil's new series "49.2: Tales from the Off Beat," an ongoing series dedicated to celebrating the eccentric and unusual parts of city history. From Jesse Donaldson, author of the Bill Duthie Booksellers' Choice Award finalist book This Day In Vancouver, and a host of other local historians, the series will be an in-depth examination of the weird, the wonderful, and the terrible, injecting fresh details into well-worn local lore, or digging deep into the obscure people, places, and happenings of the last 130 years. From psychedelic hospitals to town fools, from communist organizers to real estate scumbags, 49.2 will take pains to break down the myths surrounding the City of Glass.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1942 to 1944, 15 German submarines destroyed or severely damaged 27 ships, including three Canadian warships, a U.S. Army troop transport, and the Newfoundland ferry Caribou. More than 250 lives were lost. It was the only battle of the twentieth century to take place within Canada’s boundaries, and the only battle to be fought almost exclusively by Canadian forces under Canadian, rather than alliance, high command. And for more than 40 years the battle was characterized as a Canadian defeat. But was it a defeat? Drawing on new material from wartime records—including ultra-top-secret Allied decryptions of German naval radio communications, Roger Sarty shows that Canada mounted a successful defence with far fewer resources and in the face of much greater challenges than previously known. He draws vivid pictures of the intense combat on Canada’s shores and the interplay of the St Lawrence battle with war politics in Ottawa, Washington and London. At the same time, he weaves a second story: how researchers reassembled the scattered war records in Canada, Britain, the United States and Germany and brought the long-forgotten battle to life for new generations of Canadians and international audiences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada has existed in a state of "in-between-ness" since it was foundedby "United Empire Loyalists" over 200 years ago. At times Canada hascaptured a free republican spirit inspired by the best Constitutional traditions of the United States, but the majority of the time, has remainedstuck under the yolk of oligarchy.Though many figures fought valiantly to make Canada a nation independent of empire throughout the years, no historian has yet properly recognized the principle of Tragedy as the causal agency representing the unfolding of the Canadian experience until now.When the mind recognizes that the American Revolution was neversimply an "American" phenomenon, but rather a global phenomenon designed to manifest in reality an idea of a society foundedupon the Good, and consent of the governed for all human-kind, do the many layers of fallacy and Gordian knots created by generations of establishment historians come undone.In this second book of a series, we will set out to answer such vital questions as:Why did pro-American system forces fail to keep power in Canada after Lincoln's 1965 assassination?How were those renaissance-humanist concepts underlying the doctrine of Manifest Destity corrupted by slave owners and monarchists throughout the 19th century?Why did the rail line between Russia and America through British Columbia fail to succeed?What were the true reasons for the Alaska Purchase?How did Canada's National Policy break the formation of a world land-bridge of rail development after 1867?These questions and more will be answered in "The Untold History of Canada"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For six months in 1967, from late April until the end of October, Canada and its world's fair, Expo 67, became the focus of national and international attention in a way the country and its people had rarely experienced. Expo 67, staged in Montreal, crystallized the buoyant sense of confidence many felt during Canada's centennial. And it's clear that for many Canadians it became a touchstone, a popular event that penetrated the collective psyche. John Lownsbrough takes a fresh and engaging look at Expo and at the social and political contexts in which it occurred. From stories about the physical setting which signified major technological and engineering feats to the people, both famous and not, who helped make Expo 67 memorable, "The Best Place to Be" is a terrific chronicle of a high point in Canada's history.

This book was released on 2011-04-05 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the morning of Wednesday, November 4, and the morning of Thursday, November 5, 1981, a fateful drama unfolded that changed Canada forever. In one last attempt to renew the constitution with the consent of the provinces, Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau met behind closed doors in Ottawa with the ten premiers. It was the culmination of more than five decades of constitutional wrangling, and has been called the most important conference since the Fathers of Confederation got together in Quebec City in 1864. Faced with the threat of Quebec independence, the ambitions of Western Canada, and the provinces’ demands for more power, Trudeau was embattled. But he was fiercely determined to make Canadians fully independent and to entrench a Charter of Rights and Freedoms. What happened that day still reverberates. It severed the last important link to Canada’s colonial past. It guaranteed individual liberty and minority rights in the future. It weakened the grip of the elites and gave ownership of the constitution to Canadians. But it came at a price. Quebec alone refused to sign the final deal. René Lévesque, its separatist premier, claimed he had been betrayed by his allies in the Gang of Eight. The legend of the "Night of the Long Knives" took hold, precipitating a series of events that came close to destroying the country. Thirty years later, author Ron Graham delivers a gripping account of the fractious debates and secret negotiations. He uses newly uncovered documents and the candid recollections of many of the key participants to create a vivid record of that momentous twenty-four hours. Authoritative and engaging, The Last Act is a remarkable combination of scholarly research and historical narrative.

This book follows the threads of the many civilizations that made up Canada and their ultimate merging together to forge the rich tapestry that makes up Canada today. The history of Canada is more than first meets the eye, so keep reading to learn more! In this groundbreaking treatise on Canadian history, you will discover: The origins of the First Nations, the artifacts they left behind, and how they are faring today The early French and English settlements and how they interacted with the First Nations Canada's participation in the world wars and the bravery of its soldiers on the battlefield Canada's role during the Cold War and how it acted as one of the first defenses against nuclear threats to North America Canadian independence and how the French speakers in Quebec sought their own independence as well And so much more!
