The Rhetoric of Dominion Income Taxation and the Modern Political Imaginary in Canada, 1910-1945
The Rhetoric of Dominion Income Taxation and the Modern Political Imaginary in Canada, 1910-1945 by David Tough 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 History with a Specialization in Political Economy Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2013, David Tough Abstract This thesis uses Quentin Skinner’s study of rhetoric to interrogate the origins of the modern political imaginary in Canada between 1910 and 1945. The Dominion taxing power was the object of a sustained rhetorical critique in the early 20th century, in which the Liberal and Conservative party identities, built around the protective tariff in the post- Confederation era, were slowly weakened and supplemented with a new representation of difference: the left-right spectrum. Beginning in 1910 with the Grain Growers’ Guide, the nationalist resonances of the Dominion tariff were cast as duplicitous distractions from exploitation and fiscal inefficiency. During the First World War, this characterization of the tariff and the political differences it produced became tied to demands for ‘conscription of wealth,’ as the basis of a fairer and more democratic political culture. A species of what Ian McKay calls a “people’s enlightenment,” this critique resulted in the first Dominion income tax, the Income War Tax of 1917. A Dominion income tax introduced the new possibility of transferring income that had been taxed progressively from one region to another. The catastrophic economic depression of the 1930s exposed the weakness of the tariff as a fiscal instrument; a more powerful Dominion income tax was cast as the necessary solution to the crisis, and was duly introduced in 1941 and 1942. -

Faith/Arjun/Christine/Jeffrey.Docx
VETO 2014 Packet by Waterloo A (Jeffrey Baer, Faith Barrett, Christine Irwin, Arjun Sondhi) With additional question from Aayush Rajasekaran 1) The setting of this work is described by its author as “sometime between World War II and the present.” One of the characters in this work nurtures a “feeble little plant” which is nearly forgotten at the work’s conclusion. That character is Mama, who is actually the grandmother of Travis. The plot of this play was inspired by a trial over African American land ownership in which the author’s father was a defendant. This play’s action centres around a $10,000 insurance cheque and the various uses for this money: Mama wants to buy a house, Beneatha wants it to pay for medical school, and Walter wants to invest in a liquor store. For 10 points, name this 1959 play about the Younger family, the magnum opus of Lorraine Hansberry. ANSWER: A Raisin in the Sun 2) This figure married Autonoe, one of the daughters of Cadmus and Harmonia. In one tale, it is this figure’s pursuit of Eurydice that leads to her death from snakebite. One child of this figure incurred Hera’s wrath when she fed the infant Dionysus, while a better known child of his pissed off Artemis when he spied her bathing. This father of Macris and the hunter, Actaeon, forced the river-prophet Proteus into revealing the cause of the death of his swarm. For ten points, name this minor god of many talents, including cheesemaking and trapping, who may be best-known as the mythological inventor of bee-keeping. -

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 ORDER OF SAINT MICHAEL AND SAINT GEORGE GCMG / KCMG / CMG X - CMG - 2020 PAGES: 63 UPDATED: 01 September 2020 (to Canada Gazette 22 February 2014) Prepared by: Surgeon Captain John Blatherwick, CM, OBC, CD, BSc, MD, DPH, FRCP(C), LLD(Hon) =========================================================================== 1 THE MOST DISTINGUISHED ORDER OF ST. MICHAEL and ST. GEORGE GCMG / KCMG / CMG When the Island of Malta and the seven Ionian Islands came under British protection in 1814, a new order was needed to reward the Ionians and Maltese who had assisted the King of England. Thus an order of three classes was created for this purpose. The Ionian Islands were ceded to Greece in 1864 and in 1868 the Order of Saint Michael and St. George was remodeled so that members must be subjects of the British Crown or such British protected persons as are connected with any of the territories under the protection and administration of the British Sovereign. They must either hold or have held high and confidential offices or have rendered extraordinary and important services within or in relation to any part of the Commonwealth beyond the seas or in territories under British protection or administration. Those who have rendered important or loyal services in relation to foreign affairs are also eligible for appointment to the order. For the military, the order served as a junior Order of the Bath with many officers being awarded this order and later the Order of the Bath if they achieved higher rank or appointments. With the institution of the Order of the British Empire in 1917, the Order of Saint Michael and Saint George became reserved more for diplomats, members of the Foreign Service and for those who had performed valuable administrative service in connection with the colonies and the countries of the commonwealth overseas.
