  • Articles: Unity Through Ambiguity
    Strata Vol. 2 Sean Graham Articles: _____________ Unity Through Ambiguity SEAN GRAHAM Abstract: Throughout Canadian broadcasting‟s formative years, 1927- 1936, tensions over local content and bilingual programming threatened the existence of any potential national broadcasting system. Conscious of these tensions, supporters of public radio were intentionally ambiguous on questions of language and regional representation in order to maintain widespread popular support. This policy of ambiguity would later prove prophetic as the Canadian Radio League (CRL) secured wider national support than the Canadian Association of Broadcasters (CAB), and inflamed passions over bilingual programming threatened the legitimacy of the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission (CRBC). By the time the CBC was established in 1936, it was clear that for any national radio system to be successful it would have to be able to produce national and local content in both official languages. The process of creating a national radio network showed that in order to have a popular position on language and regional representation, it was best to have position at all. --- National unity has long been a struggle for Canadian politicians and cultural leaders. In fact, in the late nineteenth century, it was one of the critical elements of Sir John A. Macdonald‟s National Policy. His efforts centred on overcoming the deep geographical and cultural divisions that separate Canada‟s regions and language groups. 1 Strata Vol. 2 Sean Graham Macdonald was the first in a long line of Canadian Prime Ministers who tried to bring the nation together and overcome these differences. Concerns over unity, however, actually predated Confederation as Lord Durham, Governor General of British North America, dealt with similar issues in his 1839 report that recommended uniting Upper and Lower Canada.
