2016., Adult, Nimbus Publishing Call No: 971.064 M167n Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "This outspoken, timely book by former Mulroney Cabinet Minister Tom McMillan indicts Stephen Harper for destroying the historic Canadian Conservative Party while prime minister and party leader, accusing him of turning a force for progressive Canadian values into an American Republican style vehicle for right<U+00AD>wing ideologues. Lamenting Harper's hyperpartisan "cult of personality" politics, MacMillan argues the Conservative Party is no longer the enlightened national institution founded by Sir John A. Macdonald and nurtured by successive Tory leaders until the 2003 Reform/Canadian Alliance Party merger. In a crisp, conversational tone, MacMillan contrasts this new brand of Conservatism with Robert Stanfield's 1960s/'70s "politics of thoughtfulness," assessing the impact of Stanfield's legacy on successive Conservative leaders. He urges Conservative progressives to reclaim their party from right wing extremists and revive its commitment to nation building and national unity; to re-brand itself, once again, as Progressive Conservative. A fascinating political memoir from a long time Conservative Party insider, Not My Party explores the evolution-or devolution-of Canada's Conservative Party, how back room party politics operates, and political leaders succeed or fail. Tom McMillan is a former federal Cabinet minister, including as Minister of the Environment, and was Canada's Consul General to New England, at Boston. He served as a Member of Parliament from PEI for nine years. Before that, he was Policy Secretary to Rt. Hon. Robert L. Stanfield, leader of the PC Party of Canada. A political scientist, he resides in Boston and has three daughters."--Provided by publisher.

2008., Soundings/Steele Inc. : White Pines Pictures ; [distributed by] McNabb Connolly Call No: DVD Bio S771r Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Graham Spry (1900-1983) played a central role in the creation of modern Canada. But he was too far ahead of his time, and paid a huge price for advocating his vision for Canada, a vision that has now become part of the character of this nation and includes the two defining realities in Canada; the struggle to retain a culture distinct from that of the United States, and the attempt to create a bi-cultural, now multi-cultural state in Canada...Spry helped found a new political party in the depth of the depression (the CCF, now NDP). Spry championed the new medium of radio, call it a "central nervous system' for Canada...he would eventually earn the unofficial title 'father of public broadcasting.'"--Container.
