The day following the Normandy landing, the 9th Infantry Brigade led the march towards Carpiquet where an airfield had been designated as the objective. The North Nova Scotia Highlanders, supported by the 27th Armoured Regiment (Sherbrooke Fusiliers) captured the village of Buron but a few kilometres further south ran into a German counter-offensive. The Canadians were facing the 12th SS Panzer Division (Hitlerjugend), a unit of young - mostly 18- year olds - but fanatical soldiers. The North Nova Scotia Highlanders put up a fierce fight but were finally forced to pull back.

    Canadian Infantry Combat Training During the Second World War

    SHARPENING THE SABRE: CANADIAN INFANTRY COMBAT TRAINING DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR By R. DANIEL PELLERIN BBA (Honours), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2007 BA (Honours), Wilfrid Laurier University, 2008 MA, University of Waterloo, 2009 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy degree in History University of Ottawa Ottawa, Ontario, Canada © Raymond Daniel Ryan Pellerin, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 ii ABSTRACT “Sharpening the Sabre: Canadian Infantry Combat Training during the Second World War” Author: R. Daniel Pellerin Supervisor: Serge Marc Durflinger 2016 During the Second World War, training was the Canadian Army’s longest sustained activity. Aside from isolated engagements at Hong Kong and Dieppe, the Canadians did not fight in a protracted campaign until the invasion of Sicily in July 1943. The years that Canadian infantry units spent training in the United Kingdom were formative in the history of the Canadian Army. Despite what much of the historical literature has suggested, training succeeded in making the Canadian infantry capable of succeeding in battle against German forces. Canadian infantry training showed a definite progression towards professionalism and away from a pervasive prewar mentality that the infantry was a largely unskilled arm and that training infantrymen did not require special expertise. From 1939 to 1941, Canadian infantry training suffered from problems ranging from equipment shortages to poor senior leadership. In late 1941, the Canadians were introduced to a new method of training called “battle drill,” which broke tactical manoeuvres into simple movements, encouraged initiative among junior leaders, and greatly boosted the men’s morale.

    Of the 2Nd Battalion, Canadian Mounted Rifles, Canadian Expeditionary Force, Is Interred in Mazingarbe Communal Cemetery Extension: Grave Reference, III

A. 15. His occupation prior to service recorded as that of a telegraph operator working at International Falls, Massachusetts, John Robert Barrett had sailed from Newfoundland to Vanceboro, Maine, likely on board the vessel SS Glencoe – Bruce and Sylvia(?) are other ships also noted – in March of 1903 to live with a sister at 604, Western Avenue, Lynn, Massachusetts, while taking up employment there. 1 (Previous page: The image of the 2nd Battalion, Canadian Mounted Rifles, shoulder-flash is from the Wikipedia Web-Site.) The date on which he re-crossed the United States-Canadian border in order to enlist does not appear in his personal files; however, Joseph Robert Barrett did so at Fort Frances, Ontario – just across the Rainy River from where he was working, so it may be that he crossed on the day that he enlisted – on March 21 of 1916, signing on for the duration of the war at the daily rate of $1.10. He also passed a medical examination and was attested on that same day. Private Barrett is documented as having been attached upon his enlistment into the 212th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, and officially recorded as a soldier of that unit by its Commanding Officer on March 27. Not quite three weeks afterwards, on May 15 or 16, he was transferred into the 97th Battalion (American Legion), also of the Canadian Expeditionary Force.

    Brief on Division 20 of Bill C-97, Amending the Poverty Reduction Act

    Brief on Division 20 of Bill C-97, Amending the Poverty Reduction Act Submitted to the Standing Committee on Finance May 3, 2019 By the Regroupement des groupes de femmes de la région de la Capitale-Nationale (Québec-Portneuf-Charlevoix) The Regroupement des groupes de femmes de la région de la Capitale-Nationale (Québec-Portneuf- Charlevoix) (RGF-CN) is composed of some 40 member groups that work together to defend women’s rights and interests and improve their living standards. Since 1990, the organization has been working on issues related to the fight against poverty and violence, women’s health and the role of women in local and regional development. Background In the context of the Government of Canada’s Poverty Reduction Strategy and Statistics Canada’s consultation on the use of the Market Basket Measure (MBM) as the official poverty line in Canada, we conducted a gender-based analysis of the MBM. Given that the Government of Canada’s Standing Committee on Finance is currently studying Bill C-97, which amends the Poverty Reduction Act (Division 20 of the bill), we believe it is appropriate to share our recommendations with the committee. Research and writing Anne-Pierre Bélanger, Development Officer Revision Judy Coulombe, Development Officer Acknowledgements The RGF-CN would like to thank the Collectif pour un Québec sans pauvreté for the helpful comments on the contents of this brief. Introduction Bill C-97 will formalize adoption of the Market Basket Measure (MBM) as the official poverty line. As such, people whose income is above the MBM threshold will be referred to as having “exited” poverty, and the rest, as living in poverty.

    Declaration of Quebec City 1

    Declaration of Quebec City 1 We, the democratically elected Heads of State and Government of the Americas, have met in Quebec City at our Third Summit, to renew our commitment to hemispheric integration and national and collective responsibility for improving the economic well- being and security of our people. We have adopted a Plan of Action to strengthen representative democracy, promote good governance and protect human rights and fundamental freedoms.* We seek to create greater prosperity and expand economic opportunities while fostering social justice and the realization of human potential. We reiterate our firm commitment and adherence to the principles and purposes of the Charters of the United Nations and of the Organization of American States (OAS). Our rich and varied traditions provide unparalleled opportunities for growth and to share experiences and knowledge and to build a hemispheric family on the basis of a more just and democratic international order. We must meet the challenges inherent in the differences in size and levels of social, economic and institutional development in our countries and our region. We have made progress in implementing the collective undertakings made at Miami in 1994 and continued at Santiago in 1998. We recognize the necessity to continue addressing weaknesses in our development processes and increasing human security. We are aware that there is still much to be achieved if the Summit of the Americas process is to be relevant to the daily lives of our people and contribute to their well-being. We acknowledge that the values and practices of democracy are fundamental to the advancement of all our objectives.
