"Who We Are is a compelling, timely and relevant read." --Winnipeg Free Press "May's well documented argument rings true, and her stridency lends the material urgency. ...The best political memoirs leave readers with a rallying cry, and this one is no exception"--Quill & Quire "an amazing book, sarcastic and hopeful but still witty and smart and sharp and inspiring. This is a book that instantly sprints to the top of my list of best books of 2014."--John Dupuis, Confessions of a Science Librarian, scienceblogs.com "Elizabeth May is without doubt the most impressive party leader in Canada today--superhumanly hardworking, dedicated, smart, witty, and fearless when speaking truth to power and to the public. Who We Are reminds us she is also a fine writer. May's insider story takes us into her own remarkable life and her profound connection with the lives of others on this planet: great and small, human and not. A fascinating and inspiring book." --Ronald Wright, author of A Short History of Progress "Elizabeth May is a born storyteller in the grand tradition. It may well be that she will achieve her greatest successes in defence of life upon this outraged planet as a writer whose clarity, honesty, and conviction brook no denials." --Farley Mowat "Most observers acknowledge that Elizabeth May is Canada's most effective MP, combining service to her constituents and causes with an uncommon respect for Parliament and democracy. Now her book Who We Are reveals another dimension: a tough and thoughtful activist, zealous, but with a gift for pragmatic compromise and accomplishment." --The Right Honourable Joe Clark, former Prime Minister of Canada "Democracy cannot function if the power of debate is not valued. Elizabeth May's contribution to many of Canada's great debates is one that all of us should recognise. As the environment becomes an ever more pressing global issue, our country's ability to tackle the challenges of climate change will rely on a healthy democracy--and in this book, Elizabeth makes a strong case for why and how Canada must step up." --The Right Honourable Paul Martin, former Prime Minister of Canada "In this highly readable book, Elizabeth May tells us of a life lived on the edge--often the leading edge of big issues of the day--but never at the margins. Others may complain it's not easy being Green, but May has passionately painted her personal and political life in that bold hue. Laced through the book are important warnings about the state of our democracy and our environment, which very much deserve to be heard." --Susan Delacourt, author of Shopping for Votes "My dear friend, champion of environmental justice, Elizabeth May, has connected with a deep vein of anxiety among Canadians - 'who are we? What kind of country have we become since Stephen Harper became Prime Minister?' Her analysis, built on a wealth of information, is refreshingly clear and honest.? For the first time in ages, I feel hopeful." --Maude Barlow, author of Blue Future
