Depuis sa naissance, Justin Trudeau a passé sa vie sous le regard du public, mais, à part ses proches, peu…
de gens connaissent sa version de ce parcours unique. Dans Terrain d'entente, il révèle comment sa personnalité et ses idéaux ont été façonnés par les moments marquants de sa vie. Les difficultés maritales de ses parents et les liens profonds qui l'unissaient à son père sont décrits avec franchise et empathie. Il raconte sa maturation politique et ses années d'enseignement, brusquement interrompues par la mort tragique de son frère cadet et par celle de son père. Et nous découvrons dans quelles circonstances il a rencontré sa femme, Sophie Grégoire. Justin Trudeau nous confie ce qui l'a poussé à entrer en politique, et comment il a trouvé sa voie et consolidé sa vision des forces et du potentiel du Canada. Il nous explique pourquoi, à ses yeux, la défaite de 2011 a confirmé à quel point le Parti libéral avait perdu le contact avec les Canadiens, ce qui l'a convaincu de la nécessité de renouveler le parti de fond en comble. Sa campagne et son élection dans la circonscription de Papineau sont évoquées en détail, ainsi que son accession à la direction du Parti libéral du Canada. D'abord et avant tout, Justin Trudeau partage ici sa conviction que le Canada est fort grâce à sa diversité et non malgré elle, et que notre plein potentiel se réalisera en trouvant ce qui nous rassemble et en nous appuyant sur des objectifs communs - nos espoirs et nos rêves partagés - , bref, en étant réunis sur un terrain d'entente.

Le chef du Nouveau Parti démocratique du Canada, Jagmeet Singh, nous livre le récit fascinant et bouleversant de sa famille…
: une histoire de courage et de résilience face à l'adversité.En octobre 2017, Jagmeet Singh est devenu le premier membre d’une minorité visible à diriger un parti politique majeur au Canada. Cet événement marquant a été célébré à travers le pays. Un mois plus tôt, durant la course à la chefferie du NPD, Jagmeet a tenu des assemblées publiques partout au pays. Durant l’un de ces événements, une perturbatrice dans la foule l’a interrompu avec des accusations racistes. Jagmeet lui a répondu calmement, appelant les Canadiens et Canadiennes à répondre à la haine avec « l’amour et le courage ». Cette réponse est immédiatement devenue virale, et les gens à travers le pays sont devenus curieux. Qui est Jagmeet Singh? Et pourquoi « amour et courage » ? Dans ce récit personnel et touchant, Jagmeet répond à ces questions. Il nous invite à revivre avec lui son passage de l’enfance à l’âge adulte, alors qu’il apprend des leçons importantes et parfois traumatisantes sur les hauts et les bas de la vie, la dépendance, et l’impact de ne pas se sentir à sa place. Nous découvrons sa courageuse famille, notamment sa mère, qui lui enseigne que « nous ne faisons qu’un, nous sommes tous connectés », une leçon inestimable qui a considérablement influencé la personne qu’il est devenu. Il ne s’agit pas de mémoires politiques. C’est l’histoire d’une famille, un récit sur l’amour et le courage, un vibrant rappel que renforcer les liens qui nous unissent est la première étape dans l’édification d’un monde meilleur.

Peter Mansbridge invites us to walk the beat with him in this entertaining and revealing look into his life and…
career, from his early broadcasting days in the remote northern Manitoba community of Churchill to the fast-paced news desk of CBC's flagship show, The National , where he reported on stories from around the world. Today, Peter Mansbridge is often recognized for his distinctive deep voice, which calmly delivered the news for over fifty years. But ironically, he never considered becoming a broadcaster. In some ways, though, Peter was prepared for a life as a newscaster from an early age. Every night around the dinner table, his family would debate the news of the day, from Cold War scandals and Vietnam to Elvis Presley and the Beatles. So in 1968, when by chance a CBC radio manager in Churchill, Manitoba, offered him a spot hosting the local late night music program, Peter embraced the opportunity. Without a teacher, he tuned into broadcasts from across Canada, the US, and the UK to learn the basic skills of a journalist and he eventually parlayed his position into his first news job. Less than twenty years later, he became the chief correspondent and anchor of The National . With humour and heart, Peter shares never-before-told stories from his distinguished career, including reporting on the fall of the Berlin Wall and the horror of 9/11, walking the beaches of Normandy with Tom Brokaw, and talking with Canadian prime ministers from John Diefenbaker to Justin Trudeau. But it's far from all serious. Peter also writes about finding the "cure" for baldness in China and landing the role of Peter Moosebridge in Disney's Zootopia . From the first (and only) time he was late to broadcast to his poignant interview with the late Gord Downie, these are the moments that have stuck with him. After years of interviewing others, Peter turns the lens on himself and takes us behind the scenes of his life on the frontlines of journalism as he reflects on the toll of being in the spotlight, the importance of diversity in the newsroom, the role of the media then and now, and the responsibilities we all bear as citizens in an increasingly global world
