L'homme brisé, 1980-1987
Par Pierre Godin. 2005
Ce quatrième et dernier volet de la grande biographie de René Lévesque s'ouvre le surlendemain du référendum perdu de mai…
1980. Cet échec, René Lévesque allait le payer très cher. Après leur face-à-face de novembre 1981, Pierre Trudeau lui impose une constitution si inacceptable qu'il refuse de la parapher. René Lévesque affronte ensuite un parti déboussolé qui enterre référendum et association avec le Canada. En 1984, il saisit la main tendue par le nouveau premier ministre canadien, Brian Mulroney. Il est prêt à donner une dernière chance au fédéralisme. C'est l'épisode du " beau risque " qui cristallise la scission à l'intérieur du parti. En janvier 1985, c'est le burnout et la détresse psychologique. À soixante ans, il paraît fini. Dans une ambiance de conspiration et de révolution de palais, il s'accroche jusqu'au jour où il jette l'éponge avant que le parti qu'il a mis au monde ne lui indique plus brutalement encore la sortie. 2005.Qu'en dis-tu, Socrate?
Par Robert Aird, Yves Trottier. 2014
" Dans ce petit ouvrage décapant, les auteurs parodient les dialogues socratiques pour plonger dans les débats qui ont marqué…
la vie politique des dernières années. Pour ce faire, ils transportent sur l'agora d'Athènes des discours que le lecteur avisé saura attribuer sans difficulté à nos rhéteurs contemporains. On retrouve ainsi un Socrate malicieux, mais toujours soucieux du bien public en pleine conversation avec Ministrempos, Alargentos, Xenophobite ou Ploutocratos à propos de la grève étudiante, des gaz de schistes, de la laïcité ou de la collusion dans les travaux publics. Qu'en dis-tu Socrate? est le livre de deux amoureux de la politique et de la philosophie dont l'humour jubilatoire ne les empêche pas de poser certaines des questions les plus importantes de l'heure.

Par Martine Tremblay. 2015
" Martine Tremblay pose ici le premier regard global et indépendant sur l'histoire du Bloc québécois, de sa naissance, en…
1990, jusqu'à sa débâcle aux élections de mai 2011, qui mettait fin à sa domination au Québec. C'est le livre d'une historienne. Il n'a pas pour fonction de plaider ou de convaincre, mais cherche simplement à décrire le mieux possible et à faire comprendre le déroulement des événements et les choix qui y ont présidé. Au terme d'une recherche exhaustive et d'entrevues effectuées avec quelque 70 personnes qui ont vécu de près les grandes années bloquistes, lauteure constate que ce parti, qui s'est enraciné malgré lui, est globalement allé chercher le maximum de résultats que l'on peut attendre d'un parti d'opposition à Ottawa. S'il na pas gouverné, le Bloc québécois a néanmoins marqué de son empreinte la politique canadienne et québécoise pendant deux décennies. L'histoire du Bloc québécois, rappelle Martine Tremblay, demeure avant tout celle de deux hommes: Lucien Bouchard et Gilles Duceppe. Tous deux ont tour à tour imposé leur personnalité et leurs valeurs à la formation politique. L'auteure dresse de ces deux géants de la politique un portrait inédit, d'une rare lucidité.

worked in politics - especially from 1993 to 2003, when he was Senior Policy Advisor to the Prime Minister. For example, during Paul Martin's years at Finance, Eddie was the go-between who linked Chrétien and Martin, who were for much of the time barely on speaking terms.

Par Kevin Page. 2015

move fulfilled a Tory campaign promise to deliver greater government transparency and accountability. He was later denounced by the same people who appointed him to scrutinize their spending. When he challenged the government on several issues - most notably about the true costs of the F-35 fighter planes - and publicly claimed the government was misleading Canadians, Page was vilified. In this shocking insider's account, Page argues that democracy is being undermined by an increasingly autocratic government that does not respect facts that run counter to its political agenda - something Canadians should be concerned about. 2015.Party of one: Stephen Harper and Canada's radical makeover
