BIOGRAPHY
Alexa!
Changing the Face of
Canadian Politics
STEPHEN KIMBER
Alexa McDonough’s impact on Canadian politics
cannot be measured solely by election victories
or seat tallies. As the first female leader of a
mainstream Canadian political party, she helped
transform Nova Scotian and Canadian politics. In
the process, she transcended party affiliation and
gender to become simply “Alexa” to Canadians
across the country.

DAVE GROHL
From hitting the road with Scream at 18 years old, to
my time in Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, jamming
with Iggy Pop or playing at the Academy Awards or
dancing with AC/DC and the Preservation Hall Jazz
Band, drumming for Tom Petty or meeting Sir Paul
McCartney at Royal Albert Hall, bedtime stories with
Joan Jett or a chance meeting with Little Richard,
to flying halfway around the world for one epic
night with my daughters… the list goes on. I look
forward to focusing the lens through which I see
these memories a little sharper for you with much
excitement.

unit that held fast in an unforgiving business
and of two brothers who survived “child-actor
syndrome” to become fulfilled adults.
