As the winter cold settles over Upper and Lower Canada, sparks still fly between the provinces. But while the fate of the colony is debated in the British parliament, a more pressing danger threatens the fledgling state: American militia is raiding across the border, intent on annexing the Canadian provinces by any means necessary. Following a battle along the border, a high-ranking American officer is wounded and captured. Brought back to Toronto, he is scheduled to be tried and executed in order to send a message to the encroaching Americans. The American colonel has a penchant for showmanship, and trouble always follows closely in his wake. But the American colonel’s boasts of escape and revenge are cut short when he is poisoned in his cell. All fingers point to Billy McNair, a young Canadian militia officer and the same man who saved the American colonel from dying from his wounds on the battlefield. Into this turmoil steps Marc Edwards, a decorated army officer who has traded his military uniform for a lawyer’s robes. Marc is convinced that the accused is innocent, and so, with the aid of Constable Cobb, he sets forth to track down the killer. But the investigation is nowhere near straightforward. Spies are everywhere, spreading lies and half-truths, and everyone has an agenda, some personal and some political. With time running out and the ever-present threat of attack from a foreign army looming, Marc must rely on his every skill to secure a future not only for his friend, but for his entire country.

Comedy superstar Mike Myers writes from the (true patriot) heart about his relationship with his beloved Canada. Mike Myers is a world-renowned actor, director and writer, and the man behind some of the most memorable comic characters of our time. But as he says: "no description of me is truly complete without saying I'm a Canadian." He has often winked and nodded to Canada in his outrageously accomplished body of work, but now he turns the spotlight full-beam on his homeland. His hilarious and heartfelt new book is part memoir, part history and pure entertainment. It is Mike Myers' funny and thoughtful analysis of what makes Canada Canada, Canadians Canadians and what being Canadian has always meant to him. His relationship with his home and native land continues to deepen and grow, he says. In fact, American friends have actually accused him of enjoying being Canadian--and he's happy to plead guilty as charged. A true patriot who happens to be an expatriate, Myers is in a unique position to explore Canada from within and without. With this, his first book, Mike brings his love for Canada to the fore at a time when the country is once again looking ahead with hope and national pride. Canada is a wholly subjective account of Mike's Canadian experience. Mike writes, "Some might say, 'Why didn't you include this or that?' I say there are 35 million stories waiting to be told in this country, and my book is only one of them." This beautifully designed book is illustrated in colour (and not color) throughout, and its visual treasures include personal photographs and Canadiana from the author's own collection.

A tension caused by a clash in two opposing world views has resulted in a potential unseen for many decades and which carries with it the foundations both for great hope in a beautiful future for all mankind but also the danger of thermonuclear war and chaos. Historically, these two opposing currents were known as "republican-humanist" one the one hand and "imperial-oligarchical" on the other. Today's expression of this historic conflict is represented by the resurgence of nationalist leaders defending "multi-polar" world models based upon cooperation around common goals versus a "unipolar" Hobbesian model of "managed chaos". The former has taken expression with China's 2013 announcement of the "New Silk Road' (aka: Belt and Road Initiative) which has united with Russia's Eurasian Economic Union which together with the BRICS and Shanghai Cooperation Organization have taken a collective stand against the neo-liberal/neo-conservative order which has threatened to bring about world war III. These nations have committed to a system defined by long term thinking, great infrastructure projects and unbounded growth both on the earth and in space. China's successful landing on the far side of the moon during the opening days of the New Year signify not only a shift to this unbounded program, but also a pathway for cooperation and renewal of NASA's purpose- as the landing occurred with historic cooperation between China and NASA and accompanied a new Lunar Gateway program announced by the USA.This alliance has challenged the latter unipolar forces which have come to be known since the 2016 election of Donald Trump as the Supranational "Five Eyes/Deep State" and as this edition of the Patriot will prove, is the same technocratic "invisible empire" established by Rhodes Scholars and Fabians in the aftermath of Lincoln's victory over the British-sponsored confederacy.The lesson which we hope that you take from this issue is that the Deep State is neither American nor even British, as far as "nation states" are concerned. It is not motivated by concerns of "national interest" or the wellbeing of people or elected governments. Even though monetary profit plays a role in its manipulation of society, such considerations are but means to higher ends, and not ends in and of themselves. The system directing the "Deep State" is oligarchical and represents a direct continuity of the same system which British colonists in America declared independence from in 1776, and which Abraham Lincoln stood against when he declared that the principles of Monarchy and Slavery run hand in hand. It is the same system that Cecil Rhodes and Lord Milner established at the turn of the 20th century which was designed to re-conquer America and other nations which had found a "disturbing taste" for independence, and American modelled systems of progress and "win-win cooperation".By tracing its history, motives and methods through the perspective of its control of British Canada (the sole Monarchy of the Americas) we hope to give the reader a wider perspective of the forces shaping our current world trajectory both in time and in space with the faith that with understanding comes power and responsibility to act in accordance with our conscience. Nothing less should be considered the basis for our rights to be considered citizens rather than mere subjects.

The Lower Canadian Rebellion of 1837 has been called the most important event in pre-Confederation history. Previously, it has been explained as a response to economic distress or as the result of manipulation by middle-class politicians. Lord Durham believed it was an expression of racial conflict. The Patriots and the People is a fundamental reinterpretation of the Rebellion. Allan Greer argues that far being passive victims of events, the habitants were actively responding to democratic appeals because the language of popular sovereignty was in harmony with their experience and outlook. He finds that a certain form of popular republicanism, with roots deep in the French-Canadian past, drove the anti-government campaign. Institutions such as the militia and the parish played an important part in giving shape to the movement, and the customs of the maypole and charivari provided models for the collective actions against local representatives of the colonial regime. In looking closely into the actions, motives, and mentality of the rural plebeians who formed a majority of those involved in the insurrection, Allan Greer brings to light new causes for the revolutionary role of the normally peaceful French-Canadian peasant. By doing so he provides a social history with new dimensions.

Being random, this book is not sequential. There is a plausible explanation of how and why man became a confrontational zealot over his adopted religion. It also explains why religion became an argument of creation versus evolution. However, the world population is blind to its early beginnings, and unaware of the influence of racial memory. Random Thoughts of a Canadian Patriot reveals the possibilities of multiculturalism, and considers the long-range effects of a changing economic world in relation to Canada. Some light is also thrown on Canada's much-touted health care system. The number of political parties in Canada is shown as a disadvantage to a Democratic federal election ever gaining a majority government. It demonstrates that there are advantages to the poorer class in a Conservative government that are not apparent, and how costly social programs lead to a spiral of "thinning the wealth," with government as the main beneficiary. One chapter defines the relative strength of money, and another addresses the need for world cooperation in dealing with global warming. Raised in Cardiff, Wales, Don Chivers now calls White Rock, British Columbia home. A World War II veteran, he was a hospital administrator before retirement. His photographic memory helps with his writing and he is now working on his next book. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/donchivers

The soldiers and civilians who participated in the Patriot War, fought between 1837 and 1842, hoped to free Canada from supposed British tyranny, as the United States had done just over half a century before. Despite heavy losses throughout, the American and Canadian "Patriots" refused to give up their noble cause. The Patriots launched at least thirteen raids on Upper Canada from the American border states. The western front, which spanned the British colony from Ohio and Michigan in western Lake Erie and along the Detroit River, saw some of the fiercest fighting, including the failed 1838 Battle of Windsor. In the wake of this engagement, many Canadians were outraged at the retaliatory hangings, while Americans protested the transport of their kin to the Tasmanian penal colony. With stories from both sides of the border, historian Shaun J. McLaughlin recalls the triumphs and sacrifices of the doomed Patriots.

An essential read for both progressives and conservatives, this ‘little red book’ challenges modern patriotism, calling for a return to the ideals on which our democracy was founded Over the course of a generation, patriotism in America has been hijacked by the right and abandoned by the left. But the principles and values of true patriotism—country above self, contribution above consumption, stewardship over exploitation, freedom with responsibility, purpose through sacrifice and service, pragmatism, a fair shot for all—are inherently progressive. Written in the pamphleteering style of Thomas Paine (Common Sense), The True Patriot challenges progressives to reclaim patriotism and spells out just how to do it. This powerful and timely “little red book” combines a manifesto, a ten-principle plan, a model speech, and a moral code. Throughout, it weaves between the words of the authors and excerpts from foundational American texts and speeches, as well as a parade of iconic American images.

In 1872, the author's great-grandfather George Monro Grant set out with Sandford Fleming to map out the railway line that would link Canada ocean to ocean. Michael Ignatieff recreates his journey, seeing the country through his ancestor's optimistic vision and tracing how that vision filtered through his illustrious family tree. The Grants' engagement with the idea of Canada's place in the world includes his uncle George Grant's classic, Lament for a Nation, and his own more confident view of Canada's potential. Recalling the novelistic flair of The Russian Album, Ignatieff blends history and love of country and tradition into an unforgettable family memoir.
