  • War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada's Military, 1952-1992 by Mallory
    War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada’s Military, 19521992 by Mallory Schwartz Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in History Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Mallory Schwartz, Ottawa, Canada, 2014 ii Abstract War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada‘s Military, 19521992 Author: Mallory Schwartz Supervisor: Jeffrey A. Keshen From the earliest days of English-language Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television (CBC-TV), the military has been regularly featured on the news, public affairs, documentary, and drama programs. Little has been done to study these programs, despite calls for more research and many decades of work on the methods for the historical analysis of television. In addressing this gap, this thesis explores: how media representations of the military on CBC-TV (commemorative, history, public affairs and news programs) changed over time; what accounted for those changes; what they revealed about CBC-TV; and what they suggested about the way the military and its relationship with CBC-TV evolved. Through a material culture analysis of 245 programs/series about the Canadian military, veterans and defence issues that aired on CBC-TV over a 40-year period, beginning with its establishment in 1952, this thesis argues that the conditions surrounding each production were affected by a variety of factors, namely: (1) technology; (2) foreign broadcasters; (3) foreign sources of news; (4) the influence

  • Hopes and Fears in Canadian Politics
    J_ HOPES AND FEARS IN CANADIAN POLITICS By ERIC DENNIS F the fathers of Canada's political parties could look down from the galleries of Parliament or sit in with audiences on the hustings today they would view with alarm many of I the activities of their heirs and successors. Whether for good or bad, the policies proclaimed and practised by all parties and the methods by which they react to the policies of their opponents usually bear little resemblance to the principles laid down in their foundation charters. Perhaps Sir John A. Macdonald, George Brown and Alexander Mackenzie, Woodsworth and Aberhart would finally have to say they could do no better in this day and age, but it would take a lot of persuasion. In any event, they would probably extend their sympathies to those holwng their party reins because today the field of Canadian politics is not limited by national boundaries nor is a decision made today necessarily applicable tomorrow. Canada has become a big country in development and in her status among nations. And with it, Government has become a very big business-too big, it is apparent at timos, to wait for Parliament to make up its mind on some issues. 'l'he complexities involved in running a nation today are so great that often political parties are still trying to decide what stand to take on ono matter when another and bigger issue arises. Besides th.is, the more equitable distribution of wealth has drawn the political thinking of aU parties-except the Com­ munist Labor Progressive whioh is no longer representod in P arliament-into the same or almost parallel paths.

This practice is analyzed in Canada between 1963 and 1978, a period of continual Progressive Conservative Opposition. The under• lying question is whether shadow cabinet organization has become more or less institutionalized during the period. In the introduction Samuel Huntington's four tests of institutionalization are outlined. They were used in assessing Canadian shadow cabinet institutionalization. To operationalize the tests for this study it proved use• ful to analyze the institution of the Canadian cabinet system along these dimensions.

The problem lies not in a documentation of this decline, but rather in determining the reasons for it. There are basically four avenues of research. Firstly, Canada's actual position in terms of international prestige and influence at the end of the Liberal era in 1957, must be realistically appraised. Secondly, the changing pattern of domestic restrictions on external policy must be analysed. Thirdly, the relationship of the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for External Affairs must be examined, and their capabilities as policy formulators deter• mined.

  • Northern Vision: Northern Development During the Diefenbaker Era
    Northern Vision: Northern Development during the Diefenbaker Era by Philip Isard A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Master of Arts in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2010 © Philip Isard 2010 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract At the inauguration of John G. Diefenbaker’s 1958 election campaign, the Prime Minister announced his ‘Northern Vision,’ a bold strategy to extend Canadian nationhood to the Arctic and develop its natural resources for the benefit of all Canadians. In some ways, the ‘Northern Vision’ was a political platform, an economic platform as well as an ideological platform. Invigorated by Diefenbaker’s electoral victory in 1958, the Department of Northern Affairs and National Development (DNANR) implementing the ‘National Development Policy’ in 1958 and announced the ‘Road to Resources’ program as a major effort to unlock the natural resource potential of the Canadian north. From 1958 to 1962, DNANR implemented additional northern development programs that planned to incorporate the northern territories along with Canada’s provinces, redevelop several key northern townsites, and stimulate mining activity across Northern Canada. As a result of serious government oversight and unforeseen developments, Diefenbaker abandoned his ‘Northern Vision’ and direction of northern development in 1962. Within the broader context of northern development over the past half century, the ‘Northern Vision’ produced several positive outcome which advanced the regional development of the Arctic.
