  • National Fate and Empire: George Grant and Canadian Foreign Policy
    National Fate and Empire: George Grant and Canadian Foreign Policy by Scott Staring A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Political Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Scott Patrick Staring 2010 National Fate and Empire: George Grant and Canadian Foreign Policy Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Scott Staring Department of Political Science University of Toronto Abstract This study examines the foreign policy views of the Canadian thinker, George Grant. It focuses on the years between Mackenzie King’s re-election in 1935 and the Liberal party’s return to power under Lester Pearson in 1963. During this period, Grant argued, Canada was transformed from a British dependent to a satellite of the United States, a process that he believed had been accelerated by the continentalist economic and security policies of successive Liberal governments. As a young man during World War II, Grant admired the United States of F. D. Roosevelt. But as he began to contemplate the threat that a postwar Pax Americana posed to the societies of the Old World, and, ultimately, to Canada, his misgivings grew. His attempts to understand the emerging order led him to a critical study of modern liberalism, which he believed provided the chief philosophical justification for America’s expansion. Unlike Marxists who saw liberalism as simply an ideology of ii individual greed, Grant claimed that it succeeded largely by appealing to our hopes for social progress. These hopes found their loftiest expression in the belief that liberalism’s internationalization would produce the conditions for the overcoming of war within and between nations.

However, a quarter-century since the end of the Cold War, NATO’s purpose is far from clear. Despite this, many of those involved in Canadian foreign and defence policy – including governments, opposition parties, academics, think tanks, commentators and the public – frequently question the means of Canadian involvement in NATO, but not the ends. Much of the literature, and certainly most of the media coverage, focuses on Canada’s failure to meet its two per cent of GDP defence spending target. Indeed, questions of burden sharing within NATO have taken on a new urgency since Donald Trump’s election as president. However, rarely does anyone ask if NATO is good for Canada. The government’s recently published 2017 Defence Policy Review, entitled Strong, Secure, Engaged, mentions the term “NATO” over 60 times.1 The document explains that leading or contributing to NATO efforts is a “core mission” of the Canadian Armed Forces.2 It also claims that “NATO provides significant benefits to Canada’s security and its global interests,”3 especially because of the deterrence it provides (implying against Russia).

  • Canada's Road to the Pacific War Intelligence, Strategy, and the Far
    Canada’s Road to the Pacific War Intelligence, Strategy, and the Far East Crisis Timothy Wilford Sample Material © 2011 UBC Press Studies in Canadian Military History Series editor: Dean F. Oliver, Canadian War Museum The Canadian War Museum, Canada’s national museum of military history, has a threefold mandate: to remember, to preserve, and to educate. Studies in Canadian Military History, published by UBC Press in association with the Museum, extends this mandate by presenting the best of contemporary scholarship to provide new insights into all aspects of Canadian military history, from earliest times to recent events. The work of a new generation of scholars is especially encouraged, and the books employ a variety of approaches – cultural, social, intellectual, economic, political, and comparative – to investigate gaps in the existing historiography. The books in the series feed immediately into future exhibitions, programs, and outreach efforts by the Canadian War Museum. A list of the titles in the series appears at the end of this book.

  • Three Lessons for Mexico from Canadian-American Relations
    THREE LESSONS FOR MEXICO FROM CANADIAN-AMERICAN RELATIONS Gordon T. Stewart * ABSTRACT In the course of the twentieth century, beginning with World War I. Canada has become closely tied to the United States In a variety of ways. These links contributed to Canadian prosperity and a sharing of the comparatively high North American standard of living. In spite of the nationalist reaction In English Canada In the 1960’s and 1970’s the economic Integration has continued and culminated in the 1988 Free Trade Agreement. This article argues that while Canada generally benefltted from closer economic ties there were negative aspects. First. in the haste to build up trade with the U.S. In the 1930’s, 1940’s, and 1950’s. Canadian pollcymakers tended to downplay Canadian nationalist concerns and thus made It easy for U.S. pollcymakers to underestimate the nationalist issue and its ramifications for the relationship. Second, the way in which economic Integration went ahead side-by-slde with closer military ties made it more difficult for Canada to pursue foreign policies free of U.S. influence. Third, the Canadian case warns us that notwith- standing government to government agreements there will always be powerful political, region- al or sectorial lobbies in the U.S. which will seek to shape aspects of the general agreement in their favor. It is suggested Mexican pollcymakers be careful to keep foreign policy and trade Issues distinct, and be aware of later amendments to a general free trade agreement by special Interests In the U.S. RESUMEN En el curso del Siglo XX, empezando con la Primera Guerra Mundial, Canadá ha llegado a vin- cularse con Estados Unidos de muchas maneras.

  • Strange Allies: Canada-Quebec-France Triangular Relations, 1944-1970
    Strange Allies: Canada-Quebec-France Triangular Relations, 1944-1970 David Meren Department of History McGill University, Montreal October 2007 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © David John Meren, 2007 i Abstract This dissertation examines the Canada-Quebec-France triangle from the period after the Second World War to the 1970s. It argues that the France-Quebec rapprochement of the 1960s and accompanying tensions in Ottawa’s relations with Quebec City and Paris were the result of the clashing of nationalist reactions (Gaullist, Quebecois and Canadian) that arose from domestic circumstances in the triangle’s components intersecting with the acceleration of transnational cultural and economic flows and preponderant US power. The first half of the work discusses the 1944-1960 period. These years were a high point in Canada-France relations, as a common Atlanticist response to Cold War realities meant greater official contact; moreover, economic exchanges grew in absolute terms and cultural links multiplied, consistent with the proliferation of transnational relations and Quebec’s socio-cultural transformation. The period, however, was also marked by growing differences; the conditions contributing to expanded links also fuelled nationalist reactions and set the stage for subsequent tensions. The official Canada-France relationship was undermined by Ottawa and Paris’ increasingly divergent foreign policies. Additionally, Quebec neo- nationalism’s rise exacerbated Canada’s internal tensions and stimulated Quebec interest in cooperation with France to maintain Quebec’s majority francophone identity. Paris responded enthusiastically, encouraged by its concern to counter US cultural power. Triangular relations in the 1960s are explored in the second half of the dissertation.

On that point, the government would benefit from the development of a comprehensive national security strategy – one that would comprise not only individual policies but also integrate major areas to permit a real ‘whole-of-government’ approach to national security, not just “A consensus of what, precisely, defence. constitutes our vital national A consensus of what, precisely, constitutes our vital national interests would permit interests would permit a ra- a rational and logical analysis of issues and trends related to the consequences of ac- tion or inaction, and the identification of policy responses appropriate to prevent or tional and logical analysis of mitigate their impact, ultimately leading to integrated policy formulation.

  • Permanency, Reassurance, and Quiet Diplomacy the Permanent Joint Board on Defence (PJBD) at Eighty
    August 16, 2020 Permanency, Reassurance, and Quiet Diplomacy The Permanent Joint Board on Defence (PJBD) at Eighty P. Whitney Lackenbauer1 Network Lead, NAADSN On 16 August 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt telephoned Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King and invited him to a meeting in his private railcar in Ogdensburg, New York, just across the border from Prescott, Ontario, to “talk over the defence matters between Canada and the U.S. together.” King “greatly rejoiced over the President’s invitation,”2 and the next day drove down with Pierrepont Moffat, the US Minister in Ottawa, arriving in time for dinner at 7:00 p.m. “Inside [the] President [was] sitting in [the] corner with his white shirt enjoying soda lemonade along with Secretary of State for War Mr. [Henry] Stimson and one or two of the President’s staff,” King recorded in his trusted diary. “The President greeted me with his usual smile and hearty handshake.” The two leaders “talked the evening away,” then resumed their conversation the following day,3 culminating in the issuing of a landmark press release known as the Ogdensburg Declaration: The Prime Minister and the President have discussed the mutual problems of defence in relation to the safety of Canada and the United States. It has been agreed that a Permanent Joint Board on Defence shall be set up at once by the two countries. This Permanent Joint Board on Defence shall commence immediate studies relating to sea, land, and air problems, including personnel and material. It will consider in the broad sense the defence of the north half of the Western Hemisphere.
