Drawing on the existing literature,-a framework of analysis was created comprised of four categories: 1) language; 2) visual representation; 3) positioning and; 4) critical analysis of content. Each of these categories was further broken into a series of related subcategories in order to examine in depth and detail, the portrayal of women in these two textbooks.

During what the present thesis calls the “crisis of Britishness” from 1964 to 1968, the British character of Canada was redefined and Britishness portrayed as something foreign or “other.” This post-British conception of Canada has been buttressed by historians depicting the British connection as a colonial hangover, an externally-derived, narrowly ethnic, nostalgic, or retardant force. However, Britishness, as a unique amalgam of hybrid identities in the Canadian context, in fact took on new and multiple meanings.

  • St. Andrew's Roll of Honour: Lives Remembered. World
    1 ST. ANDREW'S ROLL OF HONOUR: LIVES REMEMBERED. WORLD WAR 1 LT. JOHN DOUGLAS ARMSTRONG, Canadian Engineers, 11th Field Company, was the son of the Rev. Dr. W. D. Armstrong, for 35 years the minister of St. Paul's Presbyterian (now United) Church on Daly Ave., and Mrs. Armstrong. The family lived on Stewart St. At McGill, John studied civil engineering, and in his senior year was president of the Undergraduates. He worked first with the Dominion Bridge Company, and then the Surveyor General's staff. Well-known in Ottawa musical circles and a member of St. Andrew's Church choir for two years, Lieut. Armstrong rowed with the Britannia Rowing Club and was a Mason. Prior to his enlistment in January 1916, Lieut. Armstrong was an Engineer with the 34th Field Company of the Militia. He received his commission in January 1916, trained through the winter at Lansdowne Park, and went overseas in May 1916 with the Canadian Engineers. Mentioned in dispatches, Lieut. Armstrong and Lieut. Alan Johnston were the only two members of the company to come through the Somme offensive unscathed. Aged 27, he was killed in action at Vimy Ridge on Easter Monday, April 9, 1917. On Sept. 23rd, 1917, Rev. W. T. Herridge of St. Andrew's preached the sermon at St. Paul's Presbyterian Church when a Memorial Tablet for Lieut. Armstrong was unveiled by a fellow officer. Mount Armstrong in the Kananaskis district near the Alberta/BC border was named in his honour in 1918. Lieut. Armstrong is buried in Villers Station Cemetery, Pas de Calais, France.
