As we celebrate our country’s 150th anniversary, it hardly seems feasible. Europe is riven by economic distress, xenophobia, racial and ethnic tensions, and the rise of autocratic governments—echoes of conditions that gave rise to fascism in the 1930s. The Middle East is awash with the blood of genocide. Russia is under the heels of a tyrant, guilty of war crimes in arming his ally Bashar al-Assad in the slaughter of Syria. Refugees are streaming out of Africa, impelled by hunger from global-warming drought, petty tyrants and assorted terrorists. China, with its its oppressive dictatorship, will soon be the world’s largest and most powerful economy. “Nationalism is on the march across the Western World, feeding on the terrors it seeks to inflame,” J.K. Rowling wrote in a fit of non-fiction, on the eve of this year’s U.S. election of a president she calls “a man who is fascist in all but name.”1 Deep animosities and too many voters too ready to believe incredulous lies and fake news such as the claim that Hillary Clinton “ran a child sex ring out of a pizza parlour,” add to factors poisoning American democracy. Canada stands out as one of the few islands of vibrant democracy. It is “today the most successful pluralist society on the face of the globe,” claims Prince Karim Aga Khan IV, spiritual leader and co-founder, in partnership with the Government of Canada, of the Ottawa-based Global Centre for Pluralism. 9 We have much to celebrate—but no room for complacency and enough cause for humility. We have a history to be proud of but we must also acknowledge the bigotry, racism, and other flaws that have blotted some of it. Our democratic institutions are as robust as the best in the world and we are a peaceful and generous people—but we cannot be blind to stains of bigotry, racism, greed, and ruthlessmess. A word about Unfamiliar History. It is really not a proper history. It is an assemblage of items I’ve collected over decades—most of which I’ve annotated—and items I’ve written during a writing life that spans more than six- and-half decades. It does not completely ignore a major section of my corpus, when I was editor of Canada’s leading petroleum industry trade journal, although the great bulk of it comes from elsewhere.

  • The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century
    “No Mere Child’s Play”: The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century by Kevin Woodger A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Kevin Woodger 2020 “No Mere Child’s Play”: The Canadian Cadet Movement and the Boy Scouts of Canada in the Twentieth Century Kevin Woodger Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto Abstract This dissertation examines the Canadian Cadet Movement and Boy Scouts Association of Canada, seeking to put Canada’s two largest uniformed youth movements for boys into sustained conversation. It does this in order to analyse the ways in which both movements sought to form masculine national and imperial subjects from their adolescent members. Between the end of the First World War and the late 1960s, the Cadets and Scouts shared a number of ideals that formed the basis of their similar, yet distinct, youth training programs. These ideals included loyalty and service, including military service, to the nation and Empire. The men that scouts and cadets were to grow up to become, as far as their adult leaders envisioned, would be disciplined and law-abiding citizens and workers, who would willingly and happily accept their place in Canadian society. However, these adult-led movements were not always successful in their shared mission of turning boys into their ideal-type of men. The active participation and complicity of their teenaged members, as peer leaders, disciplinary subjects, and as recipients of youth training, was central to their success.

  • Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook
    Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook BA Hons (Trent), War Studies (RMC) This thesis is submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Social Sciences UNSW@ADFA 2005 Acknowledgements Sir Winston Churchill described the act of writing a book as to surviving a long and debilitating illness. As with all illnesses, the afflicted are forced to rely heavily on many to see them through their suffering. Thanks must go to my joint supervisors, Dr. Jeffrey Grey and Dr. Steve Harris. Dr. Grey agreed to supervise the thesis having only met me briefly at a conference. With the unenviable task of working with a student more than 10,000 kilometres away, he was harassed by far too many lengthy emails emanating from Canada. He allowed me to carve out the thesis topic and research with little constraints, but eventually reined me in and helped tighten and cut down the thesis to an acceptable length. Closer to home, Dr. Harris has offered significant support over several years, leading back to my first book, to which he provided careful editorial and historical advice. He has supported a host of other historians over the last two decades, and is the finest public historian working in Canada. His expertise at balancing the trials of writing official history and managing ongoing crises at the Directorate of History and Heritage are a model for other historians in public institutions, and he took this dissertation on as one more burden. I am a far better historian for having known him.

    THE CREATION OF CANADA A Scattering of Seeds - The Creation of Canada is a series of 52 documentary films exploring the dreams, daring and determination of Canada’s first immigrants. It is a journey into the hopes and triumphs of those who built a nation, interpreted by Canada’s best independent documentary filmmakers. The series draws on a rich archive of home movies, photographs, letters home, diaries and oral history. These are personal portraits celebrating the diversity of the first families who arrived during Canada’s formative years of nation building. From the early French, Irish and African-American settler to the Chilean music teacher and Chinese painter, this kaleidoscope of images and experiences is unparal- leled in Canadian filmmaking. By personalizing the stories of immigrants, A Scattering of Seeds makes the stranger immediately familiar and the beginnings of this country a shared experience.There is conflict, oppression and the occasional sinking of hearts, yet the resolve and character of these immigrants is what built our nation and allows it to grow. At the root of each story is the instinct to contribute something, to leave some- thing, to mark the efforts of a life. Who we were before we became who we are is our lasting legacy and our greatest teacher. A Scattering of Seeds demonstrates a profound understanding of the sense of community that continues to shape a country still in transition. “. an evocative anthology of personal stories which tell Canadian tales, not through great men, but through the unsung heroes
