Pearson oversaw the revamping of Canada through the introduction of Medicare, the Canada Pension Plan, the Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism, the Auto Pact, and the new Maple Leaf flag.

2011., PMA Productions Call No: DVD Bio L166s Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Series Title: Extraordinary CanadiansSummary Note: Canada has no better interpreter than prolific writer and thinker John Ralston Saul. Here he argues that Canada did not begin in 1867; indeed, its foundation was laid by two visionary men, Louis-Hippolyte LaFontaine and Robert Baldwin. The two leaders of Lower and Upper Canada, respectively, worked together after the 1841 Union to lead a reformist movement for responsible government run by elected citizens instead of a colonial governorBut it was during the "Great Ministry" of 184851 that the two politicians implemented laws that created a more equitable country. They revamped judicial institutions, created a public education system, made bilingualism official, designed a network of public roads, began a public postal system, and reformed municipal governance. Faced with opposition, and even violence, the two men polar opposites in temperamentunited behind a set of principles and programs that formed modern Canada. Writing with verve and deep conviction, Saul restores these two extraordinary Canadians to rightful prominence.

c2011., General, Douglas & McIntyre Call No: Bio K52l Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: This is a fascinating biography of a luminary Canadian, and one of the country's most important prime ministers, William Lyon Mackenzie King. King was a brilliant tactician, passionately committed to Canadian unity and a protector of the underdog, introducing such cornerstones of Canada's social safety net as unemployment insurance, family allowances and old-age pensions. With animated prose and a subtle wit, Allan Levine weaves a multidimensional portrait of this most compelling of politicians.
