 Vive le Canada - PARIS 1919
PARIS 1919 is a very decent book, just published, about the negotiations among the ‘big powers’ (Britain, Italy, the U.S., Japan, and France) to cut up the world to their likings at the end of the First World War (1914-1918) and — at the same time — to provide for an enduring peace.
It is, without doubt, worth reading, despite my criticisms of it, so that one may learn (or re-learn) some of the things that knee-jerk imperialism, second-nature racism, capitalist economic competition, and folie de grandeur did to help recreate a world devoted to oppression, inequality, wars of subjugation, and looting of the Third and Fourth worlds.
It is, moreover, at least significantly a consequence of 1919 and of the treatment of Soviet Russia.

 H-SHGAPE Book Reviews: Heron, editor, The Workers' Revolt in Canada, 1919-1925
May 15, 1919, little more than six months after the guns fell silent in Europe to celebrate the arrival of peace, an eerie silence gripped the city of Winnipeg as thousands of workers walked off the job in response to the stalemate in industrial relations that had developed in the city.
Craig Heron's reappraisal of the events of 1919, _The Workers' Revolt in Canada, 1917-1925_, wades into this fractious territory with a solid synthesis of the events of the period and their ultimate meaning.
Though Heron notes that workers made key strategic and tactical errors, the workers' revolt foundered mainly on the structural impediments which all counter hegemonic projects face--the inhospitable rocks of the fragmented Canadian economy, class formation and the combined forces of capital and the state who were reluctant to concede one inch of territory to workers.

 The Pierre Trudeau Home Page, Former Prime Minister of Canada. 1919-2000
He wore sandals in the Canada's House of Commons, dated celebrities such as Barbara Streisand, Kim Cattrall, Liona Boyd, and Margot Kidder, occasionally used obscenities to insult his opponents, and one time, Pierre Trudeau did a pirouette behind the back of Queen Elizabeth II.
The influence of Trudeau's policies and actions in Canada is still strong and very evident in Canadian politics today.
As prime minister, Trudeau espoused participatory democracy as a means of making Canada a "Just Society." His desire for greater citizen involvement in government appears to have been frustrated by lack of support within his party, and he later opposed greater involvement for citizens in representative democracy.
