À propos de cet audio
Featuring a new foreword written and narrated by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Justin Trudeau has spent his life in the public eye. From the moment he was born, the first son of an iconic prime minister and his young wife, Canadians have witnessed the highs and the lows, sharing in his successes and mourning with him during tragic times. But few beyond Justin's closest circle have heard his side of his unique journey, or his new perspective on what that story means since taking office.
Now, in this exclusive edition of Common Ground, which features a new foreword, Justin Trudeau reveals how the events of his life have influenced him and formed the ideals that drive him today. He explores, with candor and empathy, the difficulties of his parents' marriage and the effect it had on a small boy and the close relationship with a father whose exacting standards were second only to his love for his sons. He explores his political coming of age during the tumultuous years of the Charlottetown Accord and the Quebec Referendum and reflects on his time as a teacher, which was interrupted by the devastating losses of his brother and father. We hear how a connection was forged with a beautiful young woman, Sophie Gregoire, who had known the Trudeaus in earlier days.
Through it all, we come to understand how Justin found his own voice as a young man and began to solidify his understanding of Canada's strengths and potential as a nation. We hear what drew Justin toward politics and what led to his decision to run for office. Through Justin's eyes, we see what it was like in those first days of seeking the Liberal nomination for Papineau, when it was just he and Sophie and a clipboard in a grocery store parking lot, and how hard work and determination won him not only the nomination but two hard-fought elections. We learn of his reaction to the considerable Liberal defeat in 2011 and how it clarified his belief that the Liberal Party had lost touch with Canadians - and how that summer he was far from considering a run for the Liberal leadership but contemplating whether to leave politics altogether. And we learn why, in the end, he decided to help rejuvenate the Liberal Party and to run for the leadership and for prime minister.
But mostly, Justin shares with listeners his belief that Canada is a country made strong by its diversity, not in spite of it, and how our greatest potential lies in finding what unites us, in building on a sense of shared purpose - our common hopes and dreams - and in coming together on common ground.
The PM will be donating his proceeds from this work to the Canadian Red Cross Society.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

You Can’t Be Serious is a series of funny, consequential, awkward, and ridiculous stories from Kal Penn’s idiosyncratic life. It’s about being the grandson of Gandhian freedom fighters, and the son of immigrant parents: people who came to this country with very little and went very far—and whose vision of the American dream probably never included their son sliding off an oiled-up naked woman in the raunchy Ryan Reynolds movie Van Wilder…or getting a phone call from Air Force One as Kal flew with the country’s first Black president.

In the 21st century, humanity is reaching new heights of scientific understanding - and at the same time appears to be losing its mind. How can a species that developed vaccines for COVID-19 in less than a year produce so much fake news, medical quackery, and conspiracy theorizing? Pinker rejects the cynical cliché that humans are an irrational species - cavemen out of time saddled with biases, fallacies, and illusions.

Our naked eyes see only a thin sliver of reality. We are blind in comparison to the X-rays that peer through skin, the mass spectrometers that detect the dead inside the living, or the high-tech surveillance systems that see with artificial intelligence. And we are blind compared to the animals that can see in infrared, or ultraviolet, or in 360-degree vision. These animals live in the same world we do, but they see something quite different when they look around.

Politics is wrong, but proper governing is right
Wonderful narration!!!
Justin tells of all the good and evil within our country.
Being in my late 60s I experienced his father's reign as Prime Minister too. Like his father, Justin pushes the right buttons to guide our country properly.
Canada and the world has been through an extremely difficult time with the COVID pandemic. Justin and his government guided us as best as they could.
Even though this book was written pre-pandemic, it still shows us the logical path that Justin guided his party though.

What a Story - What a Leader - What a man!
I had never even seen a shooting star before. 26 years of rotations, passes through comets' paths, and travel, and to my memory I had never witnessed burning debris scratch across the night sky. Justin Trudeau is a man who is often persecuted and seldom loved, however for the man who is so much, how could he not also be hated? It is a rare enough thing... a leader who leads. A man who takes the blame yet shares the credit. A man renowned for owning owns his faults, and a man who knows the importance of knowing what he knows - but the greater importance of knowing what he does not.
I have had my fair share of troubles in my life. Oh yeah. I have had some reaaaaaaaaaal tough times. Bad like you cant even imagine. I have had more bad stuff happen to me than maybe anybody else in history. JT taught me so much about how to combat the difficulties I face on a day to day basis - such as getting my enormous body up and out of bed in the morning - through granting me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. I will always be fat and ugly yes. I will be poor. And I sure as hell will be woke.
My roommate is a sick twisted man. The man is demented and disturbing. I cannot begin to imagine the lives he has ruined for his own joy and entertainment - the thrills he seeks and the hurts he causes. But he lowkey is funny as hell sometimes. He will say the weirdest shit and ill be like ok haha that is fucking crazy man and then he will invite his buddies over and they get higher than the empire state. His lover shes waiting for him, just across the bar, his seats been taken by some sunglasses, asking bout her scar and.. I know I gave it too you months ago. I know youre trying to forget. But between the drinks and subtle things, the hole in my apologies, Im trying hard to take it back. So if by, the time, the bar closes, and you feel like falling down, Ill carry you home, tonight.
As I was saying - my roommate is a genuine dirt bag. A real rough and tumble type fella who will kick you in the groin and shake your hand on the way down. And I honestly do not know what the big deal is about that? the world needs more fellas who roll around in the dirt to get the dust out of their eyes. JT is one of those men! I will scream it from the calgary tower, I will scream it from the rocky mountains ... I LOVE JUSTIN TRUDEAU!! I love him! I worship him! I put gas into my car and I think yuuuuup time to do my civic duty and pay my carbon taaaax!!!!!! And that is what it is all about baby. I am not a boot licker - I am a revolutionary. I am a man who stands up to my "alpha male" friends and family and say hey! enough cussing about that fella! he is trying his best for G sakes and I would like to see you do a better job at leading a freaking NATION!! and then my dad and brother threw the scorching hot gravy boat at me and called me .. uhh.. lets say.. not so very nice words!! haha. but thanksgiving totally blew chunks this year because of my bigoted family. I had to scrounge around in the garage for scraps after I had totally owned them.
Man I have not done anything this year. My life is a literal joke. Every day I wake up and I think to myself... yup! Maybe today is the day! Maybe today is the day something good finally happens to old Jordan! and then boom. Will wakes up, shoves me out of the way, and says do you mind if my enthnically ambigious buddy comes over? ray wants to cook up some steaks. and I think to myself holy jumping of course he does! does this guy eat anything other than steak??? !
my dad is banging on the door asking for his computer back. I think he is gonna stick me back in the shed and force me to read Pierre Poop-forever's stinkin autobiography
Cheers to all, I hope you have a happy christmas!!
Jordan

An incredible story. I often wondered growing up what it was like growing up in that neighborhood, It is hard to do. I totally get how Justin has refused to live at Sussex Avenue. And that he legalized weed. Wow.

Surprisingly good!
Have developed a greater respect for Justin Trudeau as a person and understand his leadership style based on a better understanding of his background. We should all have the opportunity to review the personal history of all those running for office,… appreciate the well written biographical work

Quite inspirational personal development and political thoughts
I found the stories in the book far beyond a political view or a vehicle for political purposes yet it’s not just a personal development story in a once ‘privileged’ family. The candid depiction of the challenges his mother faced with mental illness and the sadness of loved ones passing, all felt naturally relatable with the common people. What’s most impressive to me is the natural evolvement of the idea of finding and forming common grounds and celebrate the diversity in a genuine fashion that’s been portrayed in the book. A good read.
