"1969-2019: voilà 50 ans que le Cégep Garneau dispense une formation de choix à des jeunes provenant de tout le Québec et de divers pays francophones. D'établissement modeste à ses débuts - quelques dizaines de profs pour quelques centaines d'étudiant(e)s - le Cégep Garneau n'a cessé de croître au fil des ans pour devenir aujourd'hui ce centre d'excellence dans l'enseignement collégial dont le rayonnement déborde largement les frontières du Québec. À cette occasion toute spéciale, un appel fut lancé au personnel du milieu de livrer ici témoignages et souvenirs. Nombreux ont répondu à cet appel, proposant des récits courts, mais ô combien riches, sur un aspect ou un autre de la vie de notre cégep: les premiers et laborieux instants de l'institution, la passion et les difficultés de l'enseignement, les réalisations et les initiatives originales des profs, la naissance et le développement de services, le souvenir de collègues appréciés désormais disparus, etc. Par-delà le regard sur le passé de l'institution, et conscients de notre mission de former la jeunesse à assurer la relève ici et dans le monde, le livre engage en même temps la réflexion sur les enjeux de l'heure pour notre société et pour notre monde."--Back cover.

LaSelva argues that Canadian federalism is founded on a vision of a nation in which multiple identities and multiple loyalties can flourish within a framework of common political nationality. He contends that this dualistic belief affects not only our understanding of Canadian identity but also a host of fundamental concepts, including fraternity, justice, democracy, and federalism itself. LaSelva offers a compelling reconsideration of Confederation and of the pivotal role of George Étienne-Cartier, one of the fathers of Confederation, in both the achievement of confederation and the creation of a distinctively Canadian federalist theory. Given the current debates about Quebec sovereignty and Native self-government, the future of the Canadian federation is uncertain. The Moral Foundations of Canadian Federalism provides a timely and novel perspective in support of Canadian federalism.

"Founded in 1934 as a small community hospital - open to all patients, regardless of race, religion, language, or ethnic background - Montreal's Jewish General has grown to become an internationally recognized facility, and a major component of McGill University's medical school. This comprehensive account of an esteemed institution begins by outlining the historical connections between Judaism and medicine, and the establishment of Jewish hospitals throughout the Western world at the end of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries. Specifically Jewish hospitals originated in response to the prevalent anti-Semitism that made post-graduate training for Jewish physicians in hospitals near impossible and also due to the need for kosher facilities for patients. Doctor Frank Guttman, who trained at the Jewish General from 1959 to 1964 and joined its staff in 1965, provides a detailed account of the hospital's history and its various directors, tracking the progress and medical breakthroughs of each department, and presenting the exceptional clinicians and scientists who have made the hospital's progress possible. This book tells the story of Montreal's Jewish General, from humble beginnings to a world-class university hospital, committed to service, teaching, research, and innovation."--

"Going my way?" asked John Turner's campaign brochure in 1962, "my way is the Liberal way." It was, that is, until Pierre Trudeau came to power. Turner was his party's star apprentice in the Liberal art of managing a heterogeneous nation through brokerage politics, but in the 1968 election Canadians opted instead for a newly minted celebrity leader for a re-imagined nation. A political biography extraordinaire, Elusive Destiny reveals the inner workings of the Liberal Party in its heyday as charted through the meteoric rise and fall of John Napier Turner. It highlights Turner's vision for the country and tallies the political price he paid when he deviated from the Trudeau legacy on matters such as language rights, social spending, and Quebec. It also provides a new perspective on federal politics from the 1960s through the 1980s while giving John Turner his rightful place in Canadian history.

Fondé sur des entretiens et des observations en profondeur, cet ouvrage décrit d'abord l'activité des assistantes et des assistants sociaux œuvrant dans cinq CASS (centres d'action sociale et de santé) de l'Hospice général à Genève. Il dépeint ensuite le travail effectué dans quatre lieux de réinsertion aux pratiques et objectifs diversifiés (Réalise, Les Fringantes, le Bilan portfolio de compétences et Arcade 84). L'angle d'approche documente moins des politiques sociales, des règlements ou des directives que leur mise en œuvre pratique et les façons d'être ou d'agir des professionnel-le-s en interaction avec des bénéficiaires de l'aide sociale. Il questionne le travail de réinsertion tel qu'il se produit, au quotidien. La recherche présentée ici montre que ce travail de réinsertion renvoie avant tout à une « resocialisation », c'est-à-dire davantage à un reformatage des comportements qu'au développement des compétences et des réseaux des bénéficiaires. L'analyse met aussi en évidence que, au-delà des rapports institutionnels de contrainte et de pouvoir, les assistants sociaux et les bénéficiaires initient des cycles de dons et de contre-dons, autant de processus de défi et de reconnaissance qu'il convient - à l'heure de la diminution des prestations d'assistance - d'articuler avec des principes renouvelés de justice sociale.

"Courts are key players in the dynamics of federal countries since their rulings have a direct impact on the ability of governments to centralize and decentralize power. Courts in Federal Countries examines the role high courts play in thirteen countries, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Nigeria, Spain, and the United States. The volume's contributors analyse the centralizing or decentralizing forces at play following a court's ruling on issues such as individual rights, economic affairs, social issues, and other matters. The thirteen substantive chapters have been written to facilitate comparability between the countries. Each chapter outlines a country's federal system, explains the constitutional and institutional status of the court system, and discusses the high court's jurisprudence in light of these features. Courts in Federal Countries offers insightful explanations of judicial behaviour in the world's leading federations."--

Riven by internal strife, leadership disputes, and financial woes, the Liberal Party today faces unprecedented challenges that threaten its very future. Conventional wisdom attributes the origins of the disarray to personal conflict between Jean Chretien and Paul Martin. However, Jeffrey argues that this divisiveness is actually the continuation of a dispute over Canadian federalism and national unity which began decades earlier between John Turner and Pierre Trudeau. This dispute, as evidenced by recent leadership crises, remains unresolved to this day. An insightful examination of the federal Liberal Party, Divided Loyalties sheds much-needed light on an increasingly fissured party."--Pub. desc. "The Liberal Party has governed Canada for much of the country's history. Yet over the past two decades, the 'natural governing party' has seen a decrease in traditional support, finding itself in opposition for nearly half of that time. In Divided Loyalties, Brooke Jeffrey draws on her own experience as a party insider and on interviews with more than sixty senior Liberals to follow the trajectory of the party from 1984 to the leadership of Stephane Dion in 2008.
