Kim Campbell understood that she was a political pawn, but she played the game her way. She never did stand much of a chance to be elected prime minister — but what a statement she made simply by being in charge for those four months in 1993!
Being the first female prime minister made her very popular. For a while, it seemed she might overcome the bad reputation the Conservative party had earned during Brian Mulroney’s term. Some people say that her biggest blunder was listening to her political handlers. A | |  | | Leap
Half the proceeds go to Unicef's Gift of Education project. "A lovely lilt of language slides between the horrendous and hilarious in these poems." -Penn Kemp, author of 25 collections, celebrated foremother of Canadian sound poetry. “Readers of Where the Butterflies Go will already be expecting accomplished, fresh and lively work from Heather Grace Stewart, but even they will be surprised by the strength of this new collection, this genuine Leap, so direct, political and feminine by turns that it can take your breath away. A must for new and already hooked fans.” —Sally Evans, poet and Editor, Poetry Scotland. Heather Grace Stewart is an Ottawa-born author, poet, and photojournalist now living in Montreal.

div class="descr_reviewed_container">Heather Grace Stewart has outdone herself with this collection. These are modern poems for a modern world, full of humor, sincerity, moxie, and sensual beauty. The accompanying photographs add a sense of wonder and depth, and make you want to jump into every scene. Heather Grace Stewart has taken the Leap into greatness, and we cannot help but follow in her footsteps. A must-own for every woman (and man, too!).--Auth | |  | | Sir Wilfrid Laurier: The weakling who stood his ground
He was thin, weak, crummy at sports … and so often sick with a bad cough that he thought he was dying most of his 78 years. His friends had to convince him to run as Prime Minister. Even then, he still often wondered if he was good enough to do the job.
Yet, Sir Wilfrid changed Canada in many big ways. He helped to attract thousands of immigrants to the West, created Alberta and Saskatchewan, established Yukon as a Territory, created a second transcontinental railway and started the Canadian Navy. He even changed the way toast looks today! (His government banned the mixing of margarine with butter in 1903.)
Most of all, Sir Wilfrid used his excellent skills as an orator and a conciliator to help settle arguments between the English and the French and established Canada as the racially tolerant and culturally diverse country that it is today.
