By world standards Canada is a country that respects and protects its human rights. That has not always been the case. ONCE UPON A TIME IN CANADA is not only a romantic ethnic/historical/fictional novel but also one that deals with justice when two young Ukrainian students leave their homeland in 1910 for Canada and while onboard a ship, meet two Irish school teachers. Both couples are on their way to Winnipeg in order to fi nd a better life. During World War 1 the Ukraine Pawlo Byli and Petro Chorny like most East Europeans are classified as 'The Scum of Europe' and along with 8500 other foreigners with the help of xenophobic Anglo Saxons, are incarcerated into 24 Concentration Camps because through no fault of their own, are classified as aliens and enemies of Canada. Th e novel also deals with the personal intrigues and struggles of the new British subjects, By world standards Canada is a country that respects and protects its citizen's human rights. That has not always been the case. This book is dedicated to all my Ukrainian friends who generously helped me with material and advice to reconstruct ONCE UPON A TIME IN CANADA. It is also dedicated to freedom and justice and all the people who understand and affirm freedom and justice.

In Once Upon a Time: My Life with Children's Books Sheila Egoff tells the story of her working life, from her early voracious reading, through all her significant contributions to libraries in Canada and to our national understanding of our own literature for children. She brings both a critical eye and a personal touch to this book, which reads as a memoir and as an account of important developments in Canadian writing and librarianship. In this time of cuts to budgets for books and for librarians, there is much here to reflect upon.

When sound arrived in Hollywood in the late 1920s, Canadians were already holding some of the most important roles in the motion picture industry. Louis B. Mayer, from New Brunswick, was boss at MGM; Jack Warner, from Ontario, was head of Warner Bros. Studio; and Mack Sennett, from Quebec, was still King of Comedy. Canadians like Mary Pickford, Marie Dressler, and Norma Shearer moved easily from silents to talkies - this illustrious trio won the first three Academy Awards for Best Actress. Canadians arriving in sunny California in the 1930s and 1940s were principally actors, including Yvonne de Carlo, Walter Pidgeon, Ruby Keeler, and many others. You will be amazed at the Canadian influence on Hollywood’s Golden Age.
