This is a bit dry, and it really does not go into the conflicts between English speaking and French speaking populations/views. What it does do, and does well, is provide an excellent background into how French Canada became French Canada. Moogk gives background to the society and types of people who travelled to New France. It can be a bit dry in places, but the book is split into different areas of life. You will learn quite a bit.
PRINTING.COOP is a worker cooperative present in the market of graphic arts . People who work in this cooperative are almost entirely company members, and that means that human capital is the owner of the company, we the workers are our own bosses.
Think about it. The boss is the one who works and owns his work, therefore is the owner of its success. This is one of the main differentiating factors from other companies in the Canada market. Cooperatives are made up by people who not only produce, but also take part on the decision processes that rule the company.
Which do you think will be the degree of involvement of these people with respect to their clients?
PRINTING.COOP, as an online printing company specializing in the printing of magazines, catalogs, books, calendars, brochures, flyers, etc ..., shapes its cooperative principles and puts them to the test every day, because every day we face the challenge of meeting the expectations of new customers entering into our work system.
Think about it again. Don't you think the best place to put your trust on a printer is a place where the workers not only strive to make a living but also put their reputation on stake?
THE MYSTICS OF MILE END
Sigal Samuel
Paperback; 320 pages
Publisher: William Morrow Paperbacks (October 13, 2015)
It took a while to "get into" this book. Set in Montreal, Canada in a Jewish neighborhood, the story follows a widowed father with his 2 children as the each deal with what being Jewish means to them.
Even with my slow start, I found myself liking the characters more and more. Sigal Samuel's writing style flows well as she tells first the son's story, then the father, and finally bringing everything and everyone together in the daughter's section. Even the neighbors and friends are developed well. A lot of questions, some answers, and an intimate look at each of the major characters as they look for the meaning in their lives.
