  • The Royal Commission on Espionage 1946-1948 a Case Study in the Mobilization of the Canadian Civil Liberties Movement
    The Royal Commission on Espionage 1946-1948 A Case Study in the Mobilization of the Canadian Civil Liberties Movement by Dominique Thomas Clement BA Hons Queen's University A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the Faculty of Graduate Studies (Department of History) We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April 2000 © Dominique Thomas Clement AUTHORIZATION FORM In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the head of my department or by his or her representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. 11 ABSTRACT There exists, at this time, surprisingly little historiography on how civil liberties were shaped and developed in practice throughout Canadian history. An examination of the 1946 Royal Commission on Espionage offers several insights into the nature of the immediate post-World War Two civil liberties movement. The commission was formed in response to the defection of a Russian cipher clerk, Igor Gouzenko, in late 1945. The commission investigated the existence of a Russian-led spy ring that had recruited several Canadian civil servants into disclosing secret information. The commission is unique in Canadian history; dominantly due to the fact that it was empowered under the War Measures Act which granted it enormous powers.

  • The Emergence of Naturopathy in Two Canadian Provinces: British Columbia and Ontario, 1920-1970
    The Emergence of Naturopathy in Two Canadian Provinces: British Columbia and Ontario, 1920-1970 TRACEY L. ADAMS AND NICOLE ETHERINGTON* This paper explores the development and regulation of naturopathy in two Canadian provinces, Ontario and British Columbia, prior to 1950. Naturopathy has been a regulated profession in British Columbia since 1936. In Ontario the regulated group, since 1926 until recently, has been ‘drugless therapy.’ Through a comparative case study we not only document the early history of naturopathy, and its regulation, but we explore the factors shaping professional regulation and development historically. In particular, we highlight the importance of provincial patterns of professional regulation, and inter-professional relations in shaping regulatory trajectories. Voici un article qui traite de l’évolution et de la réglementation de la naturopathie dans deux provinces canadiennes, l’Ontario et la Colombie-Britannique, avant 1950. La naturopathie est une profession réglementée en Colombie-Britannique depuis 1936. En Ontario, le groupe réglementé a été, de 1926 jusqu’à tout récemment, celui des « praticiens ne prescrivant pas de médicaments ». Au moyen d’une étude de cas comparative, nous rendons compte des débuts de la naturopathie et de sa réglementation, mais nous étudions aussi les facteurs qui, pendant très longtemps, ont façonné la réglementation et l’évolution des professions. Nous soulignons en particulier l’importance des caractéristiques provinciales de la réglementation des professions et celle des relations interprofessionnelles dans l’orientation des trajectoires en matière de réglementation. NATUROPATHY is a practice that promotes health and self-healing through the use of natural, non-invasive therapies. Currently, naturopathy is a regulated health profession in five Canadian provinces, 16 American states (and the District of Columbia), Portugal, and India.

  • "Character and Circumstance": Political Biography in the 1990S
    "Character and Circumstance": Political Biography in the 1990s POLITICAL BIOGRAPHY was once thought of as almost synonymous with Canada's political history. This history has sometimes been interpreted as the interplay of empires or explained by economic determinism, but more often it was assumed that the country was largely the result of political decisions. To understand our past, we looked to the lives and decisions of politicians. In the balance between character and circumstance, we gave character a predominant role. But much has changed in the last generation. Political history has almost been crowded off Clio's podium by the emphasis on social and regional patterns and by studies of class and gender. How has political biography been affected by these changes? One thing is obvious from the list of biographies under review. Scholars in history may be writing specialized articles and monographs to be read by other scholars, but professional historians also continue to write political biographies. It is also apparent that these biographies have not been written with only other specialists as the audience. They are written in a prose which is meant to be accessible to a non-academic audience. At the same time, they are not potboilers, aimed at a mass audience. For the authors, political biography is still one approach to an understanding of our past. But how have the changes in the discipline of history affected biographical writing? Has political biography become a sub-category of social or regional or class history, providing case studies within these specialized fields? Or has political biography incorporated the new insights of other specialists to achieve a more sophisticated view of the role of the individual? If these volumes are a representative sample, the pattern is far from clear.

  • The Habitus of Mackenzie King
    The Habitus of Mackenzie King: Canadian Artists, Cultural Capital and the Struggle for Power Anton Reinhold Wagner A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Theatre and Performance Studies York University Toronto, Ontario, Canada September, 2014 © Anton Reinhold Wagner, 2014 Abstract This dissertation analyzes the struggle between William Lyon Mackenzie King, Canada’s longest-serving Prime Minister (1922-1930, 1935-1948), and Canadian artists to define and determine the nature and distribution of arts and culture in Canada prior to the 1949 Royal Commission on National Development in the Arts, Letters and Sciences. Using Pierre Bourdieu’s theories of habitus, “fields” of knowledge and power, and religious, social and cultural capital, the dissertation analyzes the central paradox of why—despite his decades-long involvement in half-a-dozen artistic disciplines—King failed to implement cultural policies as Prime Minister that would have benefited Canadian artists and the arts and culture in Canada. The dissertation applies Pierre Bourdieu’s model of social change in which “priests” with conservation strategies and charismatic “prophets” with subversion strategies compete among the “laity” for consumers of their respective symbolic goods to document how artists organized locally and nationally to accumulate social, cultural and political capital in their attempt to compel the federal government to implement their cultural objectives—state support for the arts. The dissertation posits that Mackenzie King’s inability to control his sexual impulses led him to espouse a conception of art whose primary function was to project Christian character and ideals.

  • The Idea of Constitutional Rights and the Transformation of Canadian Constitutional Law, 1930-1960
    The Idea of Constitutional Rights and the Transformation of Canadian Constitutional Law, 1930-1960 by Eric M. Adams A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Juridical Science Graduate Department of Law University of Toronto © Copyright by Eric M. Adams 2009 The Idea of Constitutional Rights and the Transformation of Canadian Constitutional Law, 1930-1960 Eric M. Adams SJD 2009 Graduate Department of Law, University of Toronto ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that the idea of constitutional rights transformed Canadian constitutional law well before the entrenchment of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Specifically, it locates the origins of Canada’s twentieth-century rights revolution in the constitutional thinking of scholars, lawyers, judges, and politicians at mid-century (1930-1960). Drawing on archival documents, personal papers, government reports, parliamentary debates, case law, and legal scholarship, this work traces the constitutional thought and culture that first propelled human rights and fundamental freedoms to the forefront of the Canadian legal imagination. As a work of legal history, it also seeks to revive the dormant spirit of constitutional history that once pervaded the discipline of Canadian constitutional law. The Introduction situates the chapters that follow within the emerging Canadian historiography of rights. Chapter Two traces the origins of Frank Scott’s advocacy for constitutional rights to the newer constitutional law, an approach to constitutional scholarship sparked by the social and political upheavals of the Depression, and the influence of Roscoe Pound’s sociological ii jurisprudence. Chapter Three explores the varied dimensions of the Second World War’s influence on the nascent idea of Canadian constitutional rights.

  • Entering the Age of Human Rights: Religion, Politics, and Canadian Liberalism, 1945–50 
    GEORGE EGERTON Entering the Age of Human Rights: Religion, Politics, and Canadian Liberalism, 1945–50 Since the Second World War, with the 1960s serving as a watershed, Canada has experienced the rapid and radical cultural transformations common to all modernized states. Indeed, it is one of the defining char- acteristics of modernity, and now postmodernity, that change is received normatively as predominant over continuity. Historians are in the early stages of joining sociologists and other social scientists in a quest to understand the nature and scale of these profound transitions. While such leading dynamics as technology, demography, class, and gender have attracted major study, the more traditional categories of politics, ideology, jurisprudence, and religion also demand revisiting and reas- sessment in light of our recent cultural caesuras. A principal political and legal feature of these transformations has been the rise of a jurisprudence of human rights, both within states (principally democracies), and internationally since the adoption by United Nations of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in 1948. The politics of human rights has presented a central theme in contemporary Canadian history, especially with the entrenchment of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in the patriated Canadian Constitution of 1982. Subsequently, the Charter would come to have a commanding influence on Canadian jurisprudence and political culture, as the protec- tion and extension of human rights not only radically enhanced the role

  • 1 1 Senator Arthur Roebuck, Toronto Daily Star, 30 July 1946. Senator
    1 "In Ottawa recently we took two excellent judges from the bench of the Supreme Court of Canada and implored upon them the police task of investigating an illegal seditious conspiracy and of instituting prosecutions against those who appeared to be guilty. Notwithstanding that they were eminent jurists, they walked over civil rights of accused persons as no experienced police officer would dream of doing, and they did things which no good crown attorney would for one moment permit. They became part of proceedings which if brought before them on the bench under normal conditions, I am confident they would soundly denounce."1 Quoted in the 30 July 1946 issue of the Toronto Daily Star, Senator Roebuck’s comments effectively summarize what was most contentious about the Royal Commission on Espionage.2 The proceedings of this commission represent one of the most extensive abuses of civil liberties ever embarked upon by a Canadian government in peacetime. Surprisingly, few are aware of its existence. One of the reasons for this lies in the fact that the commission’s proceedings have often been overshadowed by the events surrounding the defection of Igor Gouzenko, a Russian cipher clerk in the Embassy of the USSR in Ottawa, on 5 September 1945. The defection coincided with the beginnings of the Cold War and the formation of a bipolar world order. Meanwhile, within Canada a new battle of similar importance was also beginning, namely the struggle for the recognition and institutionalization of civil liberties in Canadian society. In its infancy, the civil liberties movement sought to ensure that the abuse of basic liberties practiced by the government during the Second World War (including limitations on freedoms of expression and association) would not continue into peacetime.
