The Other Side of the Hill
When tourists visit Canada's Parliament Hill, they see the beautiful Parliament Buildings, and the Mounted Police in their world-famous uniforms, and if they want they can tune in their televisions and watch the politicians arguing on Question Period. This is one side of the Hill, but there is another side - a side filled with behind the scenes stories. If you are interested in learning about the terrible discomfort our hard-working politicians had to endure in the hot, smelly Centre Block during the Victorian era, then this book is definitely for you!

With this book, written with flair and humor, Don Nixon takes you on a behind the scenes journey that not only has its pitfalls and pratfalls, it holds the determined spirit of a young nation up for all to see and admire.
