  • Deux Pays Le Canada à l'ère du Grand Déséquilibre démographique

    Deux Pays Le Canada à l’ère du Grand Déséquilibre démographique

    Created by: Richard Saillant
    Publisher: Nimbus Publishing

    Ce que l’auteur Richard Saillant appelle le Grand Déséquilibre démographique canadien– « le rythme très inégal auquel vieillit la population des diverses régions du Canada » — est, selon l’expert des politiques publiques Donald J. Savoie, « l’un des défis les plus exigeants du pays pendant les deux prochaines décennies ».

    L’ouvrage Deux pays, dont l’orientation générale est profondément ancrée dans la démographie, développe la thèse de Saillant selon laquelle « les forces jumelées de la gravité économique et démographique » causeront de graves difficultés dans l’Est du Canada et l’ensemble du pays si nous n’agissons pas dès maintenant. Nous devons d’abord faire face à la dure réalité : « on observe entre les provinces les mieux et les moins bien nanties un contraste marqué qui est appelé à s’accentuer ». Résultat? Deux Canadas distincts, l’un âgé et peu nanti, l’autre jeune et dynamique. Sans un important changement de cap, affirme Saillant, le Canada sera un pays déchiré.

    Deux pays est un incontournable pour ceux qui cherchent une analyse stratégique et basée sur des données probantes de l’avenir incertain du Canada, ainsi que des recommandations visant à remédier aux répercussions du Grand déséquilibre démographique sur toute la population canadienne.

  • Sailing in Circles, Goin' Somewhere Not Your Typical Boat Story

    Sailing in Circles, Goin’ Somewhere Not Your Typical Boat Story

    Created by: Finley Martin
    Publisher: Nimbus Publishing

    Not all dreams have happy endings. Sailing in Circles, Goin’ Somewhere is the funny, bittersweet memoir of a Prince Edward Island man who, over seven years, builds a classic 1930s wooden sailboat and, in 2004, attempts to circumnavigate eastern North America. The author leaves a small fishing port on the Island and tracks along the rugged coast, up the St. Lawrence River, and through the Great Lakes. Alone, he encounters heavy fog, near-collisions with freighters, mechanical breakdowns, enormous seas, several brushes with disaster, and even a hostile reception at one French-speaking port. He meets odd and curious people. It all comes to an inglorious and mundane end when the author and his boat, the Arja D., are stuck in, of all places, Peoria, Illinois. Was it worth it? Maybe.

    Written by Finley Martin, a respected Island fiction writer, this finely crafted and humorous book will appeal to adventurers, sailors, and lovers of a good yarn.

  • In the Wake

    In the Wake

    Created by: Nicola Davison
    Publisher: Nimbus Publishing

    Set on the shores of modern-day Nova Scotia, two women are stagnated by grief and their own flawed versions of the past. Can the truth set them free?

    When Emily and her family move back to Nova Scotia from Calgary, it is a return to the coastal landscape that already haunts her—and the waters where her father died. She meets her neighbour Linda, a gruff but loving widow and Linda’s grown son, Tom, who struggles to stay on an even keel. As they settle in, Emily and her husband, Daniel, learn more about the short but turbulent history of the house they’ve just bought. With Daniel away for work, Emily becomes caught up in the lives of her neighbours, relying on Linda’s friendship and growing closer to Tom, despite his unsettling knack for appearing when she least expects him. As the tension in each family builds, both Emily and Linda must confront long-unanswered questions.

    With its nuanced depictions of marriage, parenting, grief and mental illness, and humorous, understated dialogue, Davison’s debut is at once suspenseful and subtle.

    Publisher: Nimbus Publishing

    There are many good and useful books that provide a wide range of Scottish Gaelic vocabulary to express many aspects of daily life – except, for the most part, the topics covered in this book.

    Scottish Highlanders, and their descendants all over the world, are no better and no worse than any other people where “sinful” behaviour is concerned. Standards of morality and social conventions changed dramatically during the 19th century – and most of the people engaged in recording and commenting upon Highland life and tradition were puritanical ministers and priests who left out the racy bits. So, while there are many useful books that provide a wide range of Scottish Gaelic vocabulary to express many aspects of daily life – for the most part, they leave out the naughty bits.

    Westray (French Edition)

    Created by: Vernon Theriault
    Publisher: Nimbus Publishing

    L’explosion de méthane éventre la mine Westray, en Nouvelle-Écosse. Vingt-six mineurs y sont pris au piège. Les résidents de Plymouth retiennent leur souffle tandis que les sauveteurs partent à la recherche de survivants, bravant des conditions extrêmement dangereuses pendant des jours. Vernon Theriault, un mineur de Westray décoré pour sa bravoure, s’était joint aux équipes de sauvetage. Malheureusement, nul des vingt-six mineurs n’avait survécu à l’explosion, et seuls quinze de leurs corps auront pu être retrouvés. Westray, synonyme de la négligence des employeurs et de l’indifférence des gouvernements, est cependant devenu le cri de ralliement des syndicalistes et des familles des disparus. La tragédie a donné naissance au projet de loi Westray, une loi fédérale visant à protéger la sécurité des travailleurs, qui a fait l’objet de plusieurs campagnes de lobbying sous la bannière Plus jamais de Westray.

    Dans ce livre, Theriault décrit son expérience dans la mine du comté de Pictou, ses combats personnels à la suite du désastre et la façon dont il a donné un sens nouveau à sa vie en participant à la campagne de lobbying de longue haleine du Syndicat des Métallos, qui a mené à l’adoption de la Loi Westray en 2004.

  • One Who Has Been Here Before

    One Who Has Been Here Before

    Created by: Rebecca Babcock

    I move around the side of the house. There is a thick mass of shrubs on the north-east side. Juniper, and caragana gone wild. Without thinking, I pluck a flower and put it into my mouth, savouring the delicate yellowness of its flavour. Now when did I learn to do that? Who first put a caragana blossom on my tongue?

    Emma G. Weaver easily loses herself in history. She’s much more comfortable imagining the lives of the dead than getting involved with the living. She pushes down nagging questions about her own history, but when her Master’s research leads her from her safe and comfortable life in Edmonton, Alberta, back to the south shore of Nova Scotia, those questions can’t help but bubble to the surface. And Emma soon finds that the lives of the dead are inextricably linked to the lives of the living, that secrets don’t stay hidden forever—and that everything changes when they come to light.

    Inspired by the true story of the notorious Goler clan of Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley, this work of contemporary Atlantic gothic fiction troubles the boundaries between myth and truth, villains and victims.
