Against the grain : a biography of Dr. John Savage / Lindsay Ruck. by Ruck, Lindsay R. Pottersfield Press, c2019. Call #: 971.604 S263r Subjects Savage, John, 1932-2003.   Premiers (Canada) -- Nova Scotia -- Biography.   Legislators -- Nova Scotia -- Biography.   Mayors -- Nova Scotia -- Biography.   Physicians -- Nova Scotia -- Biography.   Nova Scotia -- Biography.   Nova Scotia -- Politics and government -- 1993-1999. ISBN:  9781988286969 (pbk.) Alternate title:  Biography of Dr. John Savage Description:  192 p. : ill. ; 22 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 187-192). Summary:  "John Savage was ready to leave Wales. Fed up with the National Health System, his frustrations grew daily. The back of a medical journal advertised that Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, was seeking medical professionals, and John was ready for a fresh start. Many knew dr. Savage as their physician. Others speak about his time as mayor of Dartmouth. Yet most remember him as Nova Scotia's twenty-third premier. He entered politics because he didn't like the way things were done. He had ideas, opinions, and a vision to transform a province drowning in debt and stuck in old ways. He was responsible for an amalgamation that is still of great debate, a controversial harmonized sales tax, a world-renowned emergency health system, two new casinos that met with petitions and scandal, and the list goes on. He was never interested in doing what was popular. From tackling the health and education systems to making turn-the-province-on-its-head decisions while premier, John was determined to change the way things were done. Against the Grain chronicles how he fought the status quo with unwavering conviction to leave a lasting legacy that would change the province of Nova Scotia forever. Lindsay Ruck's first book, Winds of Change: The Life and Legacy of Calvin W. Ruck, was released in 2014. Lindsay lives in Dartmouth with her husband and daughter."--From publisher.
