c2010., Adult, Emblem Call No: Fic Fal Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Get ready for the most exciting local race ever to hit a Canadian federal election! In one lane we have the incumbent Angus McLintock, the crusty old engineering Prof. who won the seat by a fluke and who has since shaken up Ottawa politics with his outspoken integrity. Lined up against him is "Flamethrower" Fox, the Conservative who practically invented low-road politics, and two others. And along for the ride - reluctantly - is Angus's Executive Assistant, Daniel Addison. For Daniel (supported by the lovely Lindsay) the campaign involves triumphs, disasters, home-baked cookie missiles, canvassing by hovercraft, and a thrilling election that catches the world's attention. It even brings the visiting U.S. President and First Lady to Angus's riverside door. All this - and chess, and love, and sub-zero male nudity - not to mention a collapsing bridge that shakes government and puts Angus in the spotlight. Hold on for the ride!"--Back cover.

2007., Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Edition: eBook ed. Series Title: Harvest book.Summary Note: On election day in the capital, it is raining so hard that no one has come out to vote. The politicians are growing jittery. Should they reschedule for another day? Around three o'clock, the rain finally stops. At four, voters rush to the polling stations, as if ordered to appear. But when the ballots are counted, more than 70% are blank. The citizens are rebellious. A state of emergency is declared. The president proposes that a wall be built around the city. But are the authorities acting too precipitously? Or even blindly? The word evokes terrible memories of the plague of blindness that hit the city four years before, and of the one woman who kept her sight. Could she be behind the blank ballots? Is she the organizer of a conspiracy against the state? What begins as a satire on governments and the sometimes dubious efficacy of the democratic system turns into something far more sinister.--From publisher description.

Ã2017., General, Crown Call No: Bio C641l Edition: First edition. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "It was never supposed to be this close. And of course she was supposed to win. How Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election to Donald Trump is the tragic story of a sure thing gone off the rails. No explanation of the defeat can begin with anything other than the core problem of Hillary's campaign - -the candidate herself. Political writers Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes have reconstructed the key decisions and unseized opportunities, the well-intentioned misfires and the hidden thorns that turned a winnable contest into a devastating loss. Drawing on their knowledge of Hillary from their biography HRC, they offer an object lesson in how Hillary herself made victory an uphill battle, how her difficulty articulating a vision irreparably hobbled her impact with voters, and how the campaign failed to internalize the lessons of populist fury from the hard-fought primary against Bernie Sanders. Moving blow-by-blow from the campaign's difficult birth through the bewildering terror of election night, the unforgettable story and the urgent lessons both political and personal, filled with revelations that will change the way readers understand just what happened to America on November 8, 2016"--Provided by publisher.

c2005., Ballantine Books Call No: Fic Ber Edition: 1st ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: "Fatima, Portugal, 1917: The Virgin Mary appears to three peasant children, sharing with them three secrets, two of which are soon revealed to the world. The third secret is sealed away in the Vatican, read only by popes, and not disclosed until the year 2000. When revealed, its quizzical tone and anticlimactic nature leave many faithful wondering if the Church has truly unveiled all of the Virgin Mary<U+2019>s words<U+2013>or if a message far more important has been left in the shadows. Vatican City, present day: Papal secretary Father Colin Michener is concerned for the Pope. Night after restless night, Pope Clement XV enters the Vatican<U+2019>s Riserva, the special archive open only to popes, where the Church<U+2019>s most clandestine and controversial documents are stored. Though unsure of the details, Michener knows that the Pope<U+2019>s distress stems from the revelations of Fatima. Equally concerned, but not out of any sense of compassion, is Alberto Cardinal Valendrea, the Vatican<U+2019>s Secretary of State,. Valendrea desperately covets the papacy, having narrowly lost out to Clement at the last conclave. Now the Pope<U+2019>s interest in Fatima threatens to uncover a shocking ancient truth that Valendrea has kept to himself for many years. When Pope Clement sends Michener to the Romanian highlands, then to a Bosnian holy site, in search of a priest<U+2013>possibly one of the last people on Earth who knows Mary<U+2019>s true message<U+2013>a perilous set of events unfolds. Michener finds himself embroiled in murder, suspicion, suicide, deceit, and his forbidden passion for a beloved woman. In a desperate search for answers, he travels to Pope Clement<U+2019>s birthplace in Germany, where he learns that the third secret of Fatima may dictate the very fate of the Church<U+2013>a fate now lying in Michener<U+2019>s own hands."--Inside jacket.
