Vision Of Canada 2020

In 2020 Visions, Crawford Kilian uses British Columbia's troubled educational system as a microcosm for the problems faced by the educational systems across North America. According to Kilian, the Canadian education system is in crisis and in its present state should be dismantled because society has outgrown it, our economy can no longer afford it, and parents and students often cannot find what they require of it. 2020 Visionsoffers a clear portrait of Canada's education system, and a visionary assessment of its possibilities.

Elsie (Elizabeth) Hannaford wrote her book Vision of Canada 2020 Save Canadian Medicare and Money with great passion and compassion. Passion for a contented and happy life for all the people of the Earth and compassion for those most in need of what sustains life, namely, nutrition and health care. The book also deals with a variety of important topics: Where does Canadas future lay? Why Canada needs a huge increase in its population? How to achieve economic prosperity for all? Why Canada should build bridges with China and India to make this great nation the envy of the rest of the world? How Albertas tar sands pollute its waters, hurt the wildlife of the region, and debase the overall environment? How Canada can solve some of the chronic problems that plague its health care system? Banning of all the nuclear weapons of the world, and How, oh how, Stephen Harper can have his long sought but long alluded Conservative majority Parliament. In addition, the author pays tribute to the contributions of institutions such as the University of Saskatchewan as well as to some of the great men and women of our modern world: Mohandas K. Gandhi for his non-violent struggle for the independence of India, Jimmy Carter for his peace making between Egypt and Israel, Bill Gates and Warren Buffet for their munificence, Oprah Winfrey and the Canadian diva Celine Dion...even to the Three Stooges for bringing laughter therapy into this world.

“This is the roadmap out of climate crisis that Canadians have been waiting for.” — Naomi Klein, activist and New York Times bestselling author of This Changes Everything and The Shock Doctrine • One of Canada’s top policy analysts provides the first full-scale blueprint for meeting our climate change commitments • Contains the results of a national poll on Canadians’ attitudes to the climate crisis • Shows that radical transformative climate action can be done, while producing jobs and reducing inequality as we retool how we live and work. • Deeply researched and targeted specifically to Canada and Canadians while providing a model that other countries could follow Canada needs to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 50% to prevent a catastrophic 1.5 degree increase in the earth’s average temperature — assumed by many scientists to be a critical “danger line” for the planet and human life as we know it. It’s 2020, and Canada is not on track to meet our targets. To do so, we’ll need radical systemic change to how we live and work—and fast. How can we ever achieve this? Top policy analyst and author Seth Klein reveals we can do it now because we’ve done it before. During the Second World War, Canadian citizens and government remade the economy by retooling factories, transforming their workforce, and making the war effort a common cause for all Canadians to contribute to. Klein demonstrates how wartime thinking and community efforts can be repurposed today for Canada’s own Green New Deal. He shares how we can create jobs and reduce inequality while tackling our climate obligations for a climate neutral—or even climate zero—future. From enlisting broad public support for new economic models, to job creation through investment in green infrastructure, Klein shows us a bold, practical policy plan for Canada’s sustainable future. More than this: A Good War offers a remarkably hopeful message for how we can meet the defining challenge of our lives. COVID-19 has brought a previously unthinkable pace of change to the world—one which demonstrates our ability to adapt rapidly when we’re at risk. Many recent changes are what Klein proposes in these very pages. The world can, actually, turn on a dime if necessary. This is the blueprint for how to do it.
