They poignantly ask in one of their popular lyrics, “How can you say that your truth is better than ours?” The true story is an elusive commodity in the retelling of the past, and perhaps the best we can hope for is some version of a truth.

It soon became very clear to her that, despite Canada’s progress in legally recognizing the rights of queer individuals, there continued to be many gaps in the system and many individuals continued to struggle with a sense of isolation. Identifying as a queer person of Aboriginal ancestry, Stella continued to experience this first hand.

  • Canadian Television by Jennifer Burwell
    Canadian Television by Jennifer Burwell Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com The portrayal of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, and queer people in English Canadian television programming has been sporadic. There have been several significant appearances of glbtq characters on the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), Canada's national public broadcasting system. The recent advent of PrideVision, a digital cable television network with a mandate to air glbtq Canadian content, will certainly lead to an increase not only in the presence of gays and lesbians on television, but also in the number of shows developed for a glbtq audience. Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Perhaps because it is a public broadcaster with a mandate to inform and enlighten as well as entertain, CBC has aired more television programs with glbtq content than Canada's other national network, CTV. CBC's Degrassi Jr. High (1987-1989), part of the youth-centered Degrassi series, dealt with abortion, single parenthood, sex, death, racism, AIDS, feminism, and gay issues as situations that the characters had to work through within the serialized narrative structures, while avoiding the "topic of the week" feel that is endemic to the genre. One episode, for example, featured the pre-adolescent character Caitlin discussing lesbianism with her English teacher, Miss Avery. A spin-off of the Degrassi series, Liberty Street (CBC, 1995-1996), featured Billy Merasty as Nathan Jones, a gay native ex-bicycle courier. The producers of Liberty Street went on to create Riverdale (CBC, 1997-2000), with gay character George Patillo. In early 2003, CBC announced that gay playwright Michel Tremblay will write Quebec's first television show to feature an on-going gay relationship, Le Coeur Découvert.

On the day the war began in September 1939, Newfoundland was a dispirited British dominion-in-abeyance off the east coast of Canada. The Colony was ruled by a London-appointed Commission of Government and kept afloat by loans and grants from the British Treasury.2 However, Newfoundland’s standing changed dramatically in the spring of 1940 with Nazi Germany’s victorious Blitzkrieg through Western Europe. Only Britain stood defiant, and on the other side of the Atlantic, Newfoundland was now viewed, not only as Canada’s “first line of defence,” but actually “the key to the western defence system.”3 In a very short time, Newfoundland boasted five military and civilian 1 Bond to the House of Assembly, 30 May 1890, as recorded in Proceedings, the St. John’s Evening Telegram, 13 June 1890. He is, of course, referring to the strategically invaluable British outpost at the Western entrance to the Mediterranean Sea.
