DESCRIPTION:
Canada, our home and native land Elizabeth May speaks from a position of well researched intelligence. Read her book and learn about the dirty back room tricks that politicians engage in to push through their agendas often by silencing our scientists and human rights activists. The 1%-ers of the globe are routinely encouraged by government to continue i. "Loved it" according to Juan F Posada. Great read. Very informative. A must-read for all Canadians
Laced through the book are important warnings about the state of our democracy and our environment, which very much deserve to be heard.” Susan Delacourt, author of Shopping for Votes"My dear friend, champion of environmental justice, Elizabeth May, has connected with a deep vein of anxiety among Canadians - 'who are we? What kind of country have we become since Stephen Harper became Prime Minister?' Her analysis, built on a wealth of information, is refreshingly clear and honest.? For the first time in ages, I feel hopeful.” Maude Barlow, author of Blue Future. The best political memoirs leave readers with a rallying cry, and this one is no exception"Quill & Quire"an amazing book, sarcastic and hopeful but still witty and smart and sharp and inspiring
The book traces her development from child activist who warned other children not to eat snow because it contained Strontium 90 to waitress and cook on Cape Breton Island to law student, lawyer, and environmentalist and finally to leader of the Green Party and first elected Green Party Member of Parliament.As a result of these disparate experiences, May has come to believe that Canada must strengthen its weakened democracy, return to its role as a world leader, develop a green economy, and take drastic action to address climate change. The result is a fascinating portrait of a remarkable woman and an urgent call to action.. Kennedy. Who We Are<
