Macdonald A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver. Holy Bible, Book of Proverbs 25:11 Many a fight has started when the wrong words were said. Just the same, the right words at the right time have stopped disagreements. The famous Canadian in our story knew how to speak appropriately at the right time. In fact, he faced huge problems and won peaceful solutions through his words. Young John Macdonald was very likable. He could win an argument with words quicker than fists. He always seemed to know what to say. When the neighbourhood boys began arguing about the rules of a game, it was young John who stepped quickly between them and said, “Now guys, we can talk this out.” As a young man, John became a lawyer, winning word battles in the law courts of Canada. Soon afterward he became a politician, which is someone who works as part of the government. In those days, Canada was not yet a country.

    Canada in the Classroom Notes to Accompany PowerPoint Presentation (Given at the Canadian Consulate in Denver in September 2005) by Nadine Fabbi, University of Washington Slide #1 – Canadian Studies in the U.S. This power point presentation will introduce you to Canadian Studies in the U.S. and to the rationale behind international education in the U.S. It will orient you to the Canadian Studies “community” and answer the question, “Why study Canada?” In addition, the presentation will provide a quick overview of Canadian-American history and the Linking: Connecting Canadian History to the U.S. curriculum modules available on the K-12 STUDY CANADA website. Slide #2 – Sputnik 1 In 1957, at the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union launched the first artificial satellite – Sputnik 1. Its launch kicked off the Space Race but, more important to this discussion, the U.S. responded by setting in place a reform movement in science and international education. Millions of dollars were immediately poured into scientific research and international education and the U.S. Department of Education’s International Programs were created. (The largest increase in funding in international programs since that time came after 9/11.) The U.S. defined international education as critical to global competitiveness and to the peaceful resolution of conflict. And, as our world shrinks in size, international studies is increasingly relevant. Slide #3 – Map with National Resource Centers One of the many federally-funded international programs are the Title VI programs whose mandate is to increase international studies content in teaching and research not only at the level of higher education, but also with the general public, business, media, the government, and for K-12 educators.

  • Canada at Expo 2005: Nation, Audience, and the Branded Display Complex
    Canada at Expo 2005: Nation, Audience, and the Branded Display Complex: by Laurie J. Dalton A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Canadian Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014 Laurie Dalton Abstract Popular culture events, such as world’s fairs, are important objects of study as they demonstrate how visual culture functions as an agent of nation branding on a global scale. Much of the research on these events has focused on the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as sites of imperialism and modernism. Although less attention has been paid to contemporary world’s fairs, this study argues that these continue to be critical areas of study. Expo 2005 in Aichi, Japan was the first world’s fair held in Asia in the twenty-first century. As global power dynamics shift to Asia, an examination of cultural events allows us to explore how countries hope to position themselves in this shift. My case study of the Canadian pavilion at Expo 2005 demonstrates how the display simultaneously projected a federal brand and reflected tourist expectations of Canada for the Japanese audience. I use a visual analysis drawing from iconology and visual semiotics to understand how the design of the pavilion represented the unique expectations of three different stakeholders: the organizers of the Aichi expo who sought to position Japan within a wider global framework, the Canadian federal planners who wanted to project a distinct Canadian identity abroad, and the attending public, who went to be entertained.

  • BROCK's BANTER: in All of Us Command?
    This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Sat Sep 25 8:14:32 2021 / +0000 GMT BROCK'S BANTER: In all of us command? By Brock Weir Some readers will remember all too well Canada's flag wars of the early 1960s as Liberal Prime Minister ? and hometown boy ? Lester B. Pearson proposed changing the Red Ensign to a flag that was, in his view, uniquely Canadian. In the opposing corner was former Progressive Conservative Prime Minister John Diefenbaker, who was a staunch proponent of the status quo. The debate was heated, the proposed changes and mock-ups were endless and, in the end, over 51 years ago, we got our now iconic red maple leaf. In the end, it was a flag neither Pearson nor Diefenbaker had in mind, but a relatively happy medium. If your name wasn't Diefenbaker. The flag was ultimately embraced and while the maple leaf might be forever on our flag, ?The Maple Leaf Forever? certainly took a beating. Written by Alexander Muir around the time of Confederation it, alongside the later entry, O Canada, was widely viewed as one of Canada's unofficial anthems, often sung alongside the de facto official national anthem, God Save The Queen/King. By late 1970s, Canada was still without an official national anthem to call its own. God Save the Queen was still our official theme song, along with several other nations, and the time came to choose something a bit unique. The Maple Leaf Forever, which begins with the memorable line ?In days of yore, from Britain's shore??, heralding Great Britain's victory over France on the Plains of Abraham, along with subsequent victories over the Americans in the War of 1812, was probably not the ideal choice for national unity when the flames of separatism were still hot in Quebec.

It was carried by John Cabot and flown over Canadian soil when he reached the east coast of Canada in 1497. Fleur-de-Lis When Jacques Cartier landed and claimed the new world for France in 1534, the Fleur-de-Lis was flown as a symbol of French sovereignty in Canada. It was flown until the early 1760s when Canada was surrendered to the United Kingdom. Royal Union Flag The two crossed Royal Union Flag was the official British flag in the early 1760s. This flag was flown over Canadian soil until the Act of the Union between Great Britain and Ireland in 1801 when Ireland’s diagonal cross of St. Patrick was incorporated. This gave the Royal Union Flag its present day configuration. Canadian Red Ensign The Canadian Red Ensign is a red flag with the Royal Union Flag in the corner. It was created in 1707 as the flag of the British Merchant Marine. It replaced the Royal Union flag on government buildings abroad in 1924. Starting in 1945, it was flown on federal buildings in Canada until a new national flag was adopted. Current National Flag of Canada The red and white maple leaf flag replaced the Canadian Red Ensign on February 15th, 1965. The maple leaf has been a national emblem of Canada since 1860 and was deemed a suitable symbol for the current national flag.

  • Lyrics to Heart of Oak – RAF March Past – Maple Leaf Forever
    Heart of Oak Come, cheer up, my lads, 'tis to glory we steer, To add something more to this wonderful year; To honour we call you, as freemen not slaves, For who are so free as the sons of the waves? Chorus: Heart of Oak are our ships, Jolly Tars are our men, We always are ready: Steady, boys, Steady! We'll fight and we'll conquer again and again. We ne'er see our foes but we wish them to stay, They never see us but they wish us away; If they run, why we follow, and run them ashore, For if they won't fight us, what can we do more? (Chorus) They say they'll invade us these terrible foe, They frighten our women, our children, our beaus, But if should their flat-bottoms, in darkness set oar, Still Britons they'll find to receive them on shore. (Chorus) We still make them fear and we still make them flee, And drub them ashore as we drub them at sea, Then cheer up me lads with one heart let us sing, Our soldiers and sailors, our statesmen and king. RAF March Past Through adversities we'll conquer. Blaze into the stars, A trail of glory We'll live on land and sea 'Til victory is won. Men in blue the skies are winging In each heart one thought is ringing. Fight for the right, God is our might, We shall be free. The Maple Leaf Forever In days of yore, from Britain's shore, Wolfe, the dauntless hero, came And planted firm Britannia's flag On Canada's fair domain.

Hametz This thesis examines the development of a distinctive Canadian national identity articulated in trench newspapers of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) fighting during World War I on European soil. Three English Canadian sources, The Listening Post, The Dead Horse Corner Gazette, and The Iodine Chronicle, form the bases for analysis and the inquiry into the history of nascent Canadian-ness among English Canadian soldiers in the European trenches between 1914 and 1919.
