  • A THREAT to LEADERSHIP: C.A.Dunning and Mackenzie King
    S. Peter Regenstreif A THREAT TO LEADERSHIP: C.A.Dunning and Mackenzie King BY Now mE STORY of the Progressive revolt and its impact on the Canadian national party system during the 1920's is well documented and known. Various studies, from the pioneering effort of W. L. Morton1 over a decade ago to the second volume of the Mackenzie King official biography2 which has recently appeared, have dealt intensively with the social and economic bases of the movement, the attitudes of its leaders to the institutions and practices of national politics, and the behaviour of its representatives once they arrived in Ottawa. Particularly in biographical analyses, 3 a great deal of attention has also been given to the response of the established leaders and parties to this disrupting influence. It is clearly accepted that the roots of the subsequent multi-party situation in Canada can be traced directly to a specific strain of thought and action underlying the Progressivism of that era. At another level, however, the abatement of the Pro~ gressive tide and the manner of its dispersal by the end of the twenties form the basis for an important piece of Canadian political lore: it is the conventional wisdom that, in his masterful handling of the Progressives, Mackenzie King knew exactly where he was going and that, at all times, matters were under his complete control, much as if the other actors in the play were mere marionettes with King the manipu­ lator. His official biographers have demonstrated just how illusory this conception is and there is little to be added to their efforts on this score.

  • OUR FIRST OLD AGE PENSION 1915-1927 Summary
    OUR FIRST OLD AGE PENSION 1915-1927 Summary Canada was a changed nation by the end of the First World War (1914-1918). War-time demand led to more industrial production. The urban labour force grew, so that by the 1920s most people lived in the city rather than the country. New factories favoured the young, and jobs that were traditionally done by older people began to disappear. Seniors could look forward to living longer, but many lived in severe poverty. Workers who supported aging parents had a hard time saving for their own old age. Survivor and disability pensions were created for war veterans and their families, but there was still a strong and growing need for a national old age pension system. The Government Annuities plan of 19081 was not the answer since few people could afford them. So in the 1920s, the issue of government assistance for the elderly was back on the political agenda. In 1924, Parliament appointed a special committee to study the question of pensions. Political advocates like James S. Woodsworth and Abraham A. Heaps argued for a national pension scheme. When his government finally won a majority in 1926, Mackenzie King followed up on his promise to Woodsworth and Heaps by introducing legislation that became the Old Age Pensions Act in 1927. In 1927, Canada’s first Old Age Pensions Act was passed: · The maximum pension was $20 per month or $240 per year. · It was available to British subjects aged 70 or over who had lived in Canada for 20 years. 1 Government Annuities: The Canadian Government Annuities Act of 1908 was one of the earliest significant pieces of social legislation in Canada.

  • The Roots of French Canadian Nationalism and the Quebec Separatist Movement
    Copyright 2013, The Concord Review, Inc., all rights reserved THE ROOTS OF FRENCH CANADIAN NATIONALISM AND THE QUEBEC SEPARATIST MOVEMENT Iris Robbins-Larrivee Abstract Since Canada’s colonial era, relations between its Fran- cophones and its Anglophones have often been fraught with high tension. This tension has for the most part arisen from French discontent with what some deem a history of religious, social, and economic subjugation by the English Canadian majority. At the time of Confederation (1867), the French and the English were of almost-equal population; however, due to English dominance within the political and economic spheres, many settlers were as- similated into the English culture. Over time, the Francophones became isolated in the province of Quebec, creating a densely French mass in the midst of a burgeoning English society—this led to a Francophone passion for a distinct identity and unrelent- ing resistance to English assimilation. The path to separatism was a direct and intuitive one; it allowed French Canadians to assert their cultural identities and divergences from the ways of the Eng- lish majority. A deeper split between French and English values was visible before the country’s industrialization: agriculture, Ca- Iris Robbins-Larrivee is a Senior at the King George Secondary School in Vancouver, British Columbia, where she wrote this as an independent study for Mr. Bruce Russell in the 2012/2013 academic year. 2 Iris Robbins-Larrivee tholicism, and larger families were marked differences in French communities, which emphasized tradition and antimaterialism. These values were at odds with the more individualist, capitalist leanings of English Canada.

Without doubt, from a social welfare perspective, the CCF helped build and develop an extensive social welfare system across Canada. It has been justly credited with being one of the major influences over Canadian social welfare policy during the critical years following the Great Depression. This was especially true of the period of the Second World War when the federal Liberal government of Mackenzie King adroitly borrowed CCF policy planks to remove the harsh edges of capitalism and put Canada on the path to a modern Welfare State.

  • Empire Migration
    RESTOCKING THE BRITISH WORLD: EMPIRE MIGRATION AND ANGLO-CANADIAN RELATIONS, 1919-30* Canada is a land flowing with milk and honey for all men and women able and willing to work. People from these [British Isles] are sure of a warm reception and a happy home. Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s prophesy that the twentieth century belongs to Canada will be fulfilled. Peter Larkin, Canadian High Commissioner in London1 Throughout the 1920s Canadian politicians, immigration officials, eugenicists, educationalists, and political commentators talked about the need to ‘Canadianize’ all immigrants who arrived in the dominion, including those from the ‘mother country’. However, this did not mean that Ottawa was out to ‘de-Britannicize’ those arriving from the United Kingdom. British migrants, a crucial component that underpinned Canada’s cultural identity at this time, were given preferred status because their common heritage and shared cultural values mirrored those of most Anglo-Canadians. Indeed, ‘Britishness’ made up the bedrock of Anglo-Canadian ‘national’ identity. Therefore, at one level British migrants were seen as less problematic and easier to acculturate to the Canadian way of life because for many Canadians being British and Canadian were one and the same. As Alan Sears has argued, the crux of the problem in ‘forging a “national people” [hinged on] defining some people as more naturally Canadian (or capable of becoming Canadian) than others’.2 However, the development of a ‘national people’ was not an attempt by Canada to break the bonds 1 of empire. Carl Berger reminded us long ago far from being incompatible the development of Canadian nationalism was premised upon it being nurtured within an imperial framework.3 Put another way, the ‘highest level of citizenship’, according to Barbara Roberts, ‘was based on love and loyalty to Canada and to the British Empire; the two were inseparable’.4 Assimilation was another matter.
