Champagne and Meatballs Adventures of a Canadian Communist


Free Download Bert Whyte, "Champagne and Meatballs: Adventures of a Canadian Communist "
English | ISBN: 1926836081 | 2011 | 256 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
Active for over forty years with the Communist Party of Canada, Bert Whyte was a journalist, an underground party organizer and soldier during the Second World War, and a press correspondent in Beijing and Moscow. But Whyte never let leftist ideology get in the way of a great yarn. In Champagne and Meatballs we meet a cigar-smoking rogue who was at least as happy at a pool hall as at a political meeting. His stories of bumming across Canada in the 1930s, of combat and camaraderie at the front lines in the Second World War, and of surviving as a dissident in troubled times make for compelling reading.

Advance Praise for Doing the Continental: "Everyone has opinions about the state of Canada-U.S. relations, but few have the knowledge to provide informed judgments. Professor Dyment happily falls into the latter category. While some of the prescriptions are controversial, this concise book has been carefully thought out and provides excellent grist for the Canadian policy mill. Doing the Continental is a must read for those interested in Canadian-American relations." Michael Kergin, Canada’s Ambassador to the United States, 2000 to 2005.

In 2004, Michael "Pinball" Clemons became the first black coach in the history of the CFL to hoist the Grey Cup in victory, the culmination of an experience that began when he came to Canada in 1989 as an unheralded American football player deemed too small to make it in the National Football League. Not only did Clemons make it big-literally and figuratively-in the Canadian Football League in a career that spanned 11½ seasons, but he cultivated a reputation as an enduring Canadian figure.
