With the federal election happening in October, we are featuring biographies, memoirs and commentary by political leaders.

Both Justin Trudeau’s memoir Common Ground and Jean Chrétien’s My stories, my times track their individual paths to leaders of the Liberal party.

Stephen Harper’s most recent book Right Here, Right Now discusses how social, economic and public policy trends. 

Building the orange wave, about Jack Layton or Jagmeet Singh’s new memoir Love & courage both help to frame the NDP

Elizabeth May’s book Who we are, sets out her vision for a strengthened democracy, and a green economy, both important election issues.
