La Téméraire: Nicole Juteau, de première policière au Québec à agente double
Par Annie Roy. 2022
Rien n'aura empêché Nicole Juteau de tenter le tout pour le tout, pas plus un programme collégial où seuls les…
hommes étaient admis qu'une loi qui interdisait d'engager des policières. Grâce à sa ténacité et à sa témérité, elle est devenue, en 1975, en plein coeur de l'Année internationale de la femme, la première policière au Québec. Première femme dans un monde d'hommes, elle a relevé une multitude de défis, dont celui d'être promue enquêteuse et agente double à l'escouade régionale alcool et moralité. L'adrénaline, les joies, les frustrations, les indignations et les réussites, tant personnelles que professionnelles, marquent son parcours. Dotée d'un caractère fort, de beaucoup d'intuition, d'une personnalité pétillante et d'un franc-parler, elle ne s'en est jamais laissé imposer. Sa biographie est haute en couleur, riche en anecdotes étonnantes et en dialogues savoureux.Venture Meets Mission: Aligning People, Purpose, and Profit to Innovate and Transform Society

come together, rebuild trust, and collaborate, we have a generational opportunity to address societal challenges—climate change, cybersecurity, disease outbreaks, food insecurity, and education. The book explains, with hope and passion, how our existing entrepreneurial ecosystem, with the ideals of democracy, can be the foundation for a new mission-driven capitalism. The good news is the components of this problem-solving ecosystem already exist. The authors explain what is required to join people, purpose, and profit together for world-changing impact—starting with rebuilding trust among Business, Government, and Society. The authors draw on their leadership experience with Silicon Valley innovation, venture capital, and work at the highest levels of the federal government. The book tells engaging stories of successful entrepreneurs, with diverse perspectives and intersectional experiences, who combine mission and venture to solve critical societal problems. This book seeks to inspire a generation of students, young professionals, and entrepreneurial executives to pursue mission-driven ventures that can make the world a better place. Venture Meets Mission also explains why and how forward-thinking government officials and policymakers can harness private sector entrepreneurship and innovation to solve society's problems.Moon Japan: Plan Your Trip, Avoid the Crowds, and Experience the Real Japan (Travel Guide)

Par Grant Duncan. 2024
If the government is a problem, what should be done about it? A new era of intervention has begun following…
a global pandemic, climate change and strategic rivalry – but will a better government emerge from this? Political turmoil and polarisation are causing people to question how well their societies are governed and how leaders conduct themselves, while urgent practical challenges are arising for public policy and administration. A deeper concern, then, is to re-examine the nature and problem of government itself. This study covers historically enduring dilemmas that will persist, as well as emerging issues such as climate change and Artificial Intelligence. It sets out core concerns that systems of government, of all kinds, must address. The wide diversity of political beliefs and constitutions calls for toleration in order to foster effective collaboration across types and levels of government. Each country, community and individual follows their own path, but we can all do something to help restore political trust and to raise standards of public administration. An essential guide for those seeking general and lasting principles of good government, including elected officials, civil servants, community leaders and students of politics and public policy.The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Government Contracts
