The Flying Bandit
"When Janice Whiteman met her husband Robert at the airport she was stunned when he was tackled in front of her by plainclothes police and arrested for armed robbery. Since the day they met, Robert had been leading a double life; husband and father at home, spectacularly successful armed robber on the road. In a spree lasting thirty-three months, in cities, large and small from Vancouver to Halifax, he committed fifty-nine robberies, sometimes two in one day, for a combined take of over two million dollars. This is the extraordinary true story of the most daring criminal in the nation's history: Canada's Flying Bandit."--

First Nations, First Thoughts
Countless books and articles have traced the impact of colonialism and public policy on Canada's First Nations, but few have explored the impact of Aboriginal thought on public discourse and policy development in Canada. First Nations, First Thoughts brings together Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal scholars who cut through the prevailing orthodoxy to reveal Indigenous thinkers and activists as a pervasive presence in diverse political, constitutional, and cultural debates and arenas, including urban spaces, historical texts, public policy, and cultural heritage preservation. This innovative, thought-provoking collection contributes to the decolonization process by encouraging us to imagine a stronger, fairer Canada in which Aboriginal self-government and expression can be fully realized.
