Story
Canada is a land renowned for its stunning beauty and abundant natural resources but is rarely considered to have a particularly captivating history. Its people, stereotyped as polite and friendly, are seldom viewed as they are: the products of an intricate and complex struggle. Yet in truth, Canada and its people are the results of centuries of cultural collisions, compromises, and collaborations.

Story
Qu’est-ce qui fait que le Québec est tel qu’on le connaît ? Nous pourrions dire que c’est grâce à sa culture, entre autres choses. Mais de quelle culture parle-t-on, exactement ? Il y a notre langue avec ses sacres, ses accents, ses expressions. Il y a aussi notre gastronomie avec sa poutine, son sirop d’érable et son fameux pâté chinois, qui, on s’en doute, ne vient pas de Chine. Ensuite, il y a le sport. Par exemple, le hockey, aves ses grandes rivalités et les émotions fortes qu’il suscite chez les Québécois. Nous n’avons qu’à penser à la fameuse Bataille du Vendredi saint en 1984!

Detective Maxine Grant, who has recently lost her own husband and is parenting a teenager and a new baby single-handedly, takes on the investigation.

Four chronically homeless people - Amelia One Sky, Timber, Double Dick and Digger - seek refuge in a warm movie theater when a severe Arctic front descends on the city. During what is supposed to be a one-time event, this temporary refuge transfixes them. They fall in love with this new world and, once the weather clears, continue their trips to the cinema. On one of these outings they meet Granite, a jaded and lonely journalist who has turned his back on writing “the same story over and over again” in favor of the escapist qualities of film, and an unlikely friendship is struck.

Story
For over 100 years, thousands of Aboriginal children passed through the Canadian residential school system. Begun in the 1870s, it was intended, in the words of government officials, to bring these children into the “circle of civilization,” the results, however, were far different. More often, the schools provided an inferior education in an atmosphere of neglect, disease, and often abuse. Using previously unreleased government documents, historian John S. Milloy provides a full picture of the history and reality of the residential school system.

Story
In 1755, New England troops embarked on a "great and noble scheme" to expel 18,000 French-speaking Acadians from Nova Scotia, killing thousands, separating innumerable families, and driving many into forests where they waged a desperate guerrilla resistance. The right of neutrality - to live in peace from the imperial wars waged between France and England - had been one of the founding values of Acadia. John Mack Faragher draws on original research to weave 150 years of history into a gripping narrative of both the civilization of Acadia and the British plot to destroy it.

Story
Nous savons peu de choses de ces femmes qui ont contribué à façonner le Québec. Pour trop de gens, Germaine Guèvremont, Marcelle Ferron ou Lucille Teasdale ne sont guère plus que des noms vaguement familiers. Pourtant, sans la volonté, la détermination et l'audace de ces femmes exceptionnelles, le Québec que nous connaissons aujourd'hui n'existerait pas.Dans cet ouvrage, Gilles Proulx et Louis-Philippe Messier dressent le portrait de 60 pionnières de tout horizon.
