Who really is in charge of our rapidly changing cities? Who are the individuals, dynasties and cartels that finance and provide so much of the impetus for our bleak, alienating urban landscape? Investigative reporter Henry Aubin spent almost two years trying to find out. He sifted through musty files for hundreds of hours and interviewed more than 400 people in six countries to mold this prize-winning account. City For Sale examines how Montreal's citizens became disenfranchised residents of their own city. As with many other cities on the North American continent, Montreal's elected officials acted to a large extent as pawns in the game of international finance. City for Sale is one of the most penetrating, myth-shattering analyses ever made of land ownership and related forces behind urban development in the 1970s.

City for Sale is perhaps the most penetrating, myth-shattering analysis ever made of landownership and kindered forces behind a city's development. City For Sale examines one of North America's principal urban centres, Montreal, and shows how its citizens have become largely disenfranchised residents of their own city. As with many other cities on the North American continent, Montreal's elected officials are to a large extent the pawns of international finance. Who really is in charge of our rapidly changing cities? Who are the individuals, dynasties and cartels which finance and provide so much of the impetus for today's bleak, alienating urban landscape?

Silent Coup alerts us to the destructive effects of corporate control of our economy, jobs, social programs, and political democracy. The book outlines a detailed and workable plan for challenging the agenda for Canada set by large transnational corporations. It shows how social movements and community organizations can be retooled and revitalized to confront these corporations and how true economic, social, and political democracy can be restored. Silent Coup offers a sharp diagnosis of the challenges confronting Canadian democracy and a clear prescription for action.

Father, Son and CIA

When Harvey Weinstein was a child, he watched in horror as his father sank further and further into depression and mental disease.Years later, after himself becoming a psychiatrist, Weinstein was even more horrified to learn that his father's treatment at Montreal's prestigious Allan Memorial Institute constituted a savage regime of drug and shock therapies and mind control experiments. Lou Weinstein's mind had been systematically destroyed. Destroyed, increbibly, in service of diabolical research projects funded by the CIA and the Canadian governement. Father, Son and CIA is Harvey Weinsteins painful but moving story of that discovery, and of his efforts to bring the CIA to account for the terrible consequences of its reckless experimentation.

In this prescient book first published in 1986, Graham Riches documents the proliferation of emergency food services in Canada, arguing that food banks represent the collapse of the social safety net. Riches points the finger squarely at governments 'neglect of their social obligations under federal legislation and international conventions, and laments many food banks' reluctance to take .a stand against inadequate social assistance benefits. While food banks receive corporate donations and government grants, corporate interests perpetuate a wasteful food marketing system and governments cut cash benefits. By showing such contradictions in social policy, Food Banks and the Welfare Crisis challenges head-on popular notions about hunger, poverty, and the adequacy of the welfare system.

Offering a sympathetic but detached portrait of Canada's native people, Reservations are for Indians has become a classic. Combining the skills of a novelist with those of an accomplished journalist, Heather Robertson captures the vicious circle of dependence created by government policies which ensnares aboriginal Canadians. Her account combines a description of life in four reserve communities with a history of government policies and programmes, describing the circumstances which yielded a generation of native leaders who demand a new place in Canada's political and constitutional structure.

In this pioneering work, Gustavus Myers lays bare the corruption, swindling, land deals, and bribery that are at the basis of Canadian history. This is Canada's past seen through the eyes of a muckraker, and in it the heros of other histories appear in quite a different light.This book was first published in 1914—in the United States. It has never before been published in Canada. Canadian historians have mostly ignored, suppressed, or mocked it. But history is not the preserve of apologists for big business and the political parties, and A History of Canadian Wealth is certain to be widely read and recognized at last as a classic.A landmark revisionist history of Canada, A History of Canadian Wealth remains as lively and startling as it was when first published.

Soon after its publication in 1972, Read Canadian was acclaimed as a seminal guide to books by and about Canadians. It remains a landmark guide to the headwaters of Canadian society, its history and literature. It is an absorbing, helpful guide to the books that have been written (to the time of publication) about this country, its people, politics, history and arts. It also explores the world of Canadian fiction and poetry with distinguished literary critics who discuss the best novels and poetry the country had produced. Read Canadian remains a valuable sourcebook for people who want to learn more about Canada—and Canadian books.
