Books by Michael Wilson

The late Honourable Michael Wilson was a Canadian politician and business professional. As Minister of Finance under Brian Mulroney, Wilson was one of the key negotiators of the Canada-United States Free Trade Agreement - one of Canada's most important economic agreements in the last 50 years, later superseded by NAFTA. In addition, Wilson was responsible for implementing the controversial Goods and Services Tax (GST), which remains key to the federal government today. After his life in Parliament, Wilson served as Ambassador to the United States and Chancellor of the University of Toronto.Outside of politics, Wilson was active in raising awareness of mental health issues following the traumatic loss of his son, Cameron, to suicide. Devoting considerable time to advocacy, he established the Cameron Parker Holcombe Wilson Chair in Depression Studies at the University of Toronto and served as Board Chair for the Mental Health Commission of Canada.Something within Me highlights how Wilson's personal life blended with his political life and accomplishments, detailing his advocacy for mental health awareness as well his involvement in important pieces of legislation that made significant impacts in Canadian political and economic history. These deeply personal stories, particularly those of a father grappling with his son's illness and death, remind us of the lives behind the political personas that shape our world.

The book goes on to describe the various stages the body passes through as it decomposes following death. Inevitably, your body will support the continuation of life on our beautiful planet - this book describes how all this happens.

Daidalos was a polymath who foreshadowed Leonardo da Vinci by 3,000 years and was famed as an artist, inventor, scientist and engineer. Despite his many talents and his contributions to the advancement of humanity, his interactions with those he knew resulted in mayhem, and this is what makes his life so fascinating. First of all, he was responsible for the death of three close relatives - his son, his sister and his nephew. Secondly, his actions resulted in the death of King Minos who was a son of Zeus. Thirdly, he was involved in both the creation and destruction of the monstrous bull-human hybrid known as the minotaur. Finally, the lives of two of the most important women of Crete, Queen Pasiphae (the daughter of the sun god, Helios) and her daughter, Ariadne, were devastated by his interventions. It could be argued that his actions contributed to the downfall of the Minoan civilization and its subjugation by the Mycenaeans. This book is the story of his fascinating life, the times in which he lived and the legacy he has left us.

Poetry. Michael's poetic account of his journey through the effects of drug use and mental illness moves through stages of psychosis, wellness, care in the community and catharsis. There is a probing of the dark places with humour, grace and wisdom whilst reaching for the light. Poetically free and fearless, it follows its own inner rhythms--shaping text and space, to produce something quite remarkable. Humbling, compassionate, bold, this account reveals what it is to find a true moral compass through the darkest of times.

Donald Trump is nothing short of remarkable. He has redefined politics for a generation and completely upended the image of a politician. Lies, a history of making unwanted sexual advances, complete lack of integrity and intelligence Ð these are traits that would immediately disqualify anyone else from working in a factory. Yet for Donald Trump, these seemingly negative qualities did not only disqualify him, they became his greatest strengthsÉstrengths that helped propel him into the highest office in the world. Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States, will be forever recorded in our history books. He Made America Great Again: The Complete Case for Donald TrumpÕs Presidency is our small contribution to that history. Read on as we break down, in great detail, all the ""reasons"" Trump has made America great again and ""deserves"" to be President of the United States.
