In celebration of Sir Wilfrid Laurier's 175th birthday -- November 20th, 2016 is "Sir Wilfrid Laurier Day" -- this is the first time his most important and iconic speeches will be published in book form, annotated and with essays by a stunning array of politicians, journalists, and acclaimed academics. "Sunny ways my friends, sunny ways." These were the words used in triumph by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau the night he was elected Canada's 23rd Prime Minister. They were also the words Sir Wilfrid Laurier used to call Canadians to greatness a century before. Canada Always brings together the most significant speeches of one of Canada's greatest leaders on the 175th anniversary of his birth. Readers will follow Laurier from his earliest years in Canadian politics, through his history-making fifteen-year Premiership, and then again as his generous vision of Canada is sorely tested by the flames and fire of the First World War. Edited by veteran political speechwriter and PM historian Arthur Milnes, Canada Always features essays of commentary by seven of Laurier's living successors as Prime Minister of Canada. They are joined by Mr. Justice Thomas Cromwell of the Supreme Court of Canada; past Prime Ministerial chiefs-of-staff like Thomas Axworthy, Edward Goldenberg, Nigel Wright, Derek Burney, and Hugh Segal; journalists André Pratte, Steve Paikin, Jane Taber, Lawrence Martin, and Andrew Cohen; past and sitting Premiers Rachel Notley, Christy Clark, Jean Charest, Roy Romanow, Alison Redford, and Bob Rae; distinguished academics including David Asper; former US Ambassador to Canada David Jacobson (on Laurier's legacy in Canada-US relations); while the Rt. Hon. Tony Blair considers Laurier from his unique position as a past Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. As Canada stands on the cusp of her 150th birthday, Canada Always will be an essential part of the library of any Canadian seeking a further understanding of the words that defined our nation: Laurier's words.

This revised edition contains many of the original entries but also brings the public record up-to-date with his post-1968 reflections on Parliament, government, the Liberal Party, law, and the environment. Most significantly, this book documents Turner's prominent ongoing battle against the Free Trade Agreement with the United States that culminated in the 1988 federal election; the 20th anniversary of this election was marked by the Centre for the Study of Democracy with a conference at Queen's University in October 2008 in honour of the 17th prime minister. Mrs Geills M. Turner, a professional photographer, now retired, has contributed a selection of her personal family photographs to illustrate this volume.

Age of the Offered Hand: The Cross-Border Partnership Between President George H.W. Bush and Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, A Documentary History (Volume 128) (Queen's Policy Studies Series)

2008 is the 20th anniversary of the great free trade debate that culminated in the majority victory of Prime Minster Brian Mulroney and his Progressive Conservatives, who championed FTA, as well as the 20th anniversary of the election of George H.W. Bush. Bush's initial period as the 41st president saw significant events in Canada and the United States that led to the realization of NAFTA. Age of the Offered Hand features speeches by both leaders, correspondence between them, and transcripts of joint press conferences between 1989 and 1993, when the two men held office. This book also includes introductions by former US Secretary of Commerce Robert Mosbacher and former Canadian ambassador to the United States Derek H. Burney and features photographs from the Bush Presidential Library and the private collection of the Right Honourable Brian Mulroney.

Richard Bedford Bennett was Canada's eleventh prime minister and head of a majority government during the Great Depression. Defeated in 1935, he lived the rest of his life in England and is the only deceased Canadian prime minister not buried on Canadian soil. For most Canadians, the Bennett story ends upon his leaving Canada in 1939. But, as this book shows, Bennett's career was far from over. Summoned to the British House of Lords in 1941 by King George VI, Bennett, now Viscount Bennett, took part in some of the crucial debates of the Second World War and lent his voice to discussions in Parliament at Westminster as the United Kingdom and British Empire and Commonwealth prepared for the post-war years. He served in the Lords until his death in 1947, continuing his fight for the Canadian autonomy that he had done so much to establish as prime minister in Ottawa. With a foreword by former Prime Minster John Turner, the book includes contributions from R.B.'s nephew, William R. Herridge, and David Asper, chair of the National Post.

Unrevised and Unrepented II includes additional speeches by Meighen as well as articles on and tributes to him. Using the family's private files, Arthur Milnes offers a more complete and fascinating tour through twentieth-century Canadian and world political affairs. In the foreword, Prime Minister Harper places the Meighen legacy in context for today's generation: "Though Arthur Meighen's time as prime minister was relatively brief, his legacy, as this volume attests, lives on. Regardless of party, observers then and now still rank him as perhaps the greatest debater and orator in Canadian political history. His addresses are both legion and legendary."
