Download or read book The West Beyond the West written by Jean Barman and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1996-01-01 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critically acclaimed since its publication in 1991, the BC history of choice has now been revised. Here is the story of Canada's westernmost province, beginning at the point of contact between Native peoples and Europeans and continuing up to 1995. Jean Barman tells the story by focusing not only on the history made by leaders in government but also by including the roles of women, immigrants, and Native peoples. She interweaves political, social, economic, and demographic events into an absorbing account that reveals the roots of contemporary British Columbia in all its diversity and apparent contradictions. The revised edition has been updated to include information from the 1991 census and revisions have been made throughout the book, including the references, to update it to 1995.

Download or read book A Long Way to Paradise written by Robert A.J. McDonald and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The political landscape of British Columbia has been characterized by divisiveness since Confederation. But why and how did it become Canada’s most fractious province? A Long Way to Paradise traces the evolution of political ideas in the province from 1871 to 1972, exploring British Columbia’s journey to socio-political maturity. Robert McDonald explains its classic left-right divide as a product of “common sense” liberalism that also shaped how British Columbians met the demands and challenges of a modernizing world. This lively, richly detailed overview provides fresh insight into the fascinating story of provincial politics in Canada’s lotus land.

Download or read book Bill Bennett written by Bob Plecas and published by D & M Publishers. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bill Bennett is an eyewitness account of B.C. premier W.R. (Bill) Bennett's eleven years in power, from 1975 to 1986. Never seen as a populist or a great communicator, Bennett nevertheless won three elections in a row, a feat surpassed only by his father, W.A.C. Bennett, who won six. The younger Bennett also twice captured the highest percentage of the popular vote of any premier since the Second World War. Among his very significant and undervalued achievements, Bennett dramatically changed the way British Columbia is governed and the way in which it came to be perceived on the world stage; chaired Canada's provincial premiers during the repatriation of the constitution; built the Coquihalla highway; created the Whistler ski resort; and brought the Port of Prince Rupert, Sky Train and BC Place Stadium to the province.

Download or read book That s Rich the Rise and Fall of the BC Liberals written by Judi Tyabji and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2024-08-30 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the unpredictable tangle of British Columbian politics, people and the parties they represent can appear, ascend, and then vanish in notoriety or irrelevance, all before your eyes. The pièce de résistance? Truth doesn’t have to factor into it. A scandalous narrative has the power to control public perception. This is untangled in the story of Rich Coleman and the BC Liberals. Coleman was in the hot seat for twenty-four years. In his time he was called everything from Wyatt Earp to a knuckle-dragger, a criminal to a hero. The truth, of course, is always more complicated than the sound bites, and his story deserves more accuracy than the news stories gave it. Through Coleman’s eyes, you’ll have a close look at the highs and lows of the BC Liberals’ political journey. You’ll also see the painstaking, critical work behind the scenes while the province was distracted by controversies. Coleman’s work restructured institutions and built a new BC industry. Whatever you think of the BC Liberals, you will have to admit it’s quite the story—and Rich Coleman will surprise you, if you give him the chance.
