Chief Smallboy
"Gary Botting combines traditional research methods with Native oral history to record the story of Cree Chief Bobtail Smallboy. This Hobbema, Alberta, chief, frustrated with the Canadian government's unwillingness to help him secure more land for his people, led a group of followers to settle in Alberta's Kootenay Plains. Botting weaves the intimate stories of Smallboy's ancestors into the fabric of "known" Canadian and American history to record the compelling story of the visionary chief. In doing so, Botting has made the life of this man and his forebears tactile, adding a third dimension to the history of the Cree people, their leaders, and their treatment in the hands of government."-- Back cover.
Expecting Armageddon
The expectation of an end to time and the yearning for a millennial paradise have been recurring themes in Western religious thought. But when we speak of ""expectation"" of the world's end we are mindful of the fact that generation after generation of millenarians have been disappointed. Their endtime hopes and prophecies have not come true. What happens, one might ask, when prophecies fail? Does failure spell the end of the very movements that embrace such expectations? The aim of this anthology is to gather together in one volume the essential research from the fields of sociology and ps.

Nonetheless, there is clear evidence that she herself set the fire in which she very nearly died. After receiving treatment for her burns, she is locked up as a pyromaniac. News reporter Roy Farquhar convinces both the woman and her nurse that she is Maggie Campbell, widow of famed Canadian artist Philip Campbell. The shoe seems to fit. Roy “rescues” her from the forensic ward and lives with her, hoping to profit from the sale of her late husband’s art. But when he takes her to the wedding of her “son,...
Under Arrest
Did you know that Canada's Criminal Code still has provisions outlawing the practice of witchcraft and "crafty sciences"? Did you know that blasphemy is a crime in Canada? And did you know that putting a picture of a red poppy on your website could get you in trouble with the Royal Canadian Legion? Lawyer and author Bob Tarantino takes readers on an entertaining and informative romp through Canada's legal labyrinths in a book that spotlights the country's past and present strange-but-true laws and legal history. He examines odd statutes and arcane jurisprudence across the spectrum of Canadian endeavours, from war and religion to sex and culture to politics and business. Frequently, he demonstrates the parallels between yesterday's prohibitions and today's trends such as the edict against duelling and the legalities of twenty-first-century hockey slugfests, or the confiscation of so-called crime comics in the 1950s and the controversy surrounding violence in contemporary video games.
