“One Simple Journey” was written to log ‘our’ journey and ‘our’ mission to slow down and discover more meaning to ‘our’ lives. Both Tee and I felt that the only way to achieve this was to break away, almost completely, from everyday life and search for balance! It is a simple story that takes you (the reader) on a journey across this great country of ours, and offers you an opportunity to see an ordinary Australian couple’s perspective of that journey. Readers will travel with Tee and I on our daily tour and we have set up a link so you can cross reference our destinations in picture form (google - OneSimpleJourneywithCeeandTee or email - onesimplejourneywithceeandtee@gmail.com for a link. Alternatively, you can put the book down and research the areas through other means, which will give you a more vivid and pleasant way of joining Tee and I on our journey. In addition to the “Simple Journey” we have added some personal experiences and a number of personal motto’s and beliefs. These family experiences are part of ‘our’ personal journey and are expressed purely for “us”, as “One Simple Journey” has been penned for “us” and was never intended for widespread publication. These personal beliefs are those that we have gathered over our lifetime, with many forming how both Tee and I approach life. So please – Read On – and enjoy, but I ask that you don’t expect too much, as this book is “Raw and Simple”. It was written and is intended only to distract you from your daily existence and throw another perspective at you. "There is always a thousand reasons not to take a long break from mainstream society – But only one reason why you should – “Choose Wisely!”
Conflict over moral, religious, social, political, and economic values fuel social movements. People form organized collectivities to promote or to oppose changes in societal norms and values. The steady growth in globalization and access to information have increased the perception of threats to identity, values, and culture. Persuasion and Social Movements provides a solid foundation for understanding how people collectively shape society. The latest edition marks three decades of synthesizing, applying, and extending research and theories about the persuasive efforts of social movements. Historic and current examples illustrate the many facets of social movement persuasion: Persuasion is inherently practical; we can study it most profitably by examining the functions of persuasive acts. Even apparently irrational acts make sense to the actoreffective analysis discovers the reasoning behind the acts. People create and comprehend their world through symbols, and it is people who create, use, ignore, or act on these symbolic creations. Although they remain important in social movement persuasion, speeches are now one of many resources for organizing and carrying out a variety of protests. New technologies have transformed how social movements come into existence, constitute organizations, establish coalitions, pressure institutions, and communicate with a wide variety of audiences. Social movements sometimes sell conspiracy theories to skeptical audiences, justify inherently divisive tactics, and use violence as a rhetorical strategy. Institutions and countermovements have a variety of strategies for resistance.

In The Canadian Labour Movement, historian Craig Heron and political scientist Charles Smith tell the story of Canada's workers from the midnineteenth century through to today, painting a vivid picture of key developments, such as the birth of craft unionism, the breakthroughs of the fifties and sixties, and the setbacks of the early twenty-first century. The fourth edition of this book has been completely updated with a substantial new chapter that covers the period from the great recession of 2008 through to 2020. In this chapter, Smith describes the fallout of the financial crisis, how Stephen Harper's government restricted labour rights, the rise of the "gig economy" and precarious work, and the continued de-industrialization in the private sector. These pressures contributed to fracturing the movement, as when Unifor, the largest private sector union, split from the Canadian Labour Congress, the established "house of labour." Through it all, rank-and-file union members have fought for better conditions for all workers, including through campaigns like the fight for a $15 minimum wage. The Canadian Labour Movement is the definitive book for anyone interested in understanding the origins, achievements, and challenges of the labour and social justice movements in Canada.
