  • Statement on Canadian Foreign Policy in the 1980S
    Group of 78: Statement on Canadian Foreign Policy in the 1980s Reprinted from the Bulletin of the United Nations Association, February 1982. During the last few months, a group of Canadians with a special concern for Canada's role in the global community consulted together and arrived at certain conclusions which are detailed in the statement below. The group, consisting of 78 Canadians, are known informally as the "Group of 78" - an idea borrowed from the Group of 77 original lesser developed countries which banded together at the UN to work toward common goals. The statement of the Group of 78 - for which the prime mover has been Andrew Brewin, former NDP MP for Toronto Greenwood - follows: The basic priorities of Canada's foreign policy should be threefold: 1. Removal of the threat of nuclear war, the greatest danger facing mankind today; 2. the strengthening of the United Nations and other global institutions designed to bring about a pacific settlement of disputes, foster international cooperation, promote the growth of world law and the protection of basic human rights; 3. the mobilization of world resources to achieve a more equitable international order and bring an end to the crushing poverty which is the common lot of the majority of the Third World These objectives require a new emphasis in our foreign policy based on the recognition that national security depends on an international effort to maintain an equitable and stable international order. Canada should incorporate in its foreign policy the principal objectives set forth in the Final Document of the 1978 UN Special Session on Disarmament, and take an active part in the preparation for the Second Special Session in 1982.

  • Female Police Bodies and the Disruption to the Image of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
    Women in Red Serge: Female Police Bodies and the Disruption to the Image of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police by Bonnie Reilly Schmidt M.A. (History), Simon Fraser University, 2006 B.A., University of the Fraser Valley, 2004 Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Bonnie Reilly Schmidt 2013 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Fall 2013 Approval Name: Bonnie Reilly Schmidt Degree: Doctor of Philosophy (History) Title of Thesis: Women in Red Serge: Female Police Bodies and the Disruption to the Image of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Examining Committee: Chair: Jeremy Brown Assistant Professor of History Willeen Keough Senior Supervisor Associate Professor of History Mark Leier Supervisor Professor of History Elise Chenier Supervisor Associate Professor of History Lara Campbell Internal/External Examiner Associate Professor of Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies Jane Nicholas External Examiner Associate Professor Department of Women’s Studies Lakehead University Date Defended/Approved: October 28, 2013 ii Partial Copyright Licence iii Ethics Statement iv Abstract The arrival of women in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in the mid-1970s disrupted the masculine image of a police force that was intimately connected to idealized Canadian manhood and the formation of the nation. Yet, women have been noticeably absent from the historical record of the RCMP, allowing the figure of the heroic male Mountie to continue his dominance in official, academic, and popular histories. Central to these discourses has been the male police body which has been positioned as the only body capable of enforcing the law in Canada.

    8 8 BOOK REVIEWS thus far conceived its political and critical project in rather limited, and increasingly unproductive, terms. Reviewed by: William Straw Carlton University Foundations, Alan Plaunt and The Early Days of CBC Radio Michael Nolan CBC Enterprises, 1986 Toronto, Ontario This book is very aptly named, for it was Alan Plaunt, more than any other individual, who set the philosophical and organizational foundations of the CBC and its progenitor, the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission. Plaunt's pivotal role in the genesis of public broadcasting in Canada was initially set out by Michael Nolan as his doctoral study for the University of Western Ontario where today Nolan teaches at the Graduate School of Journalism. CBC Enterprises published Nolan's work along with several other books in the fall of 1986 in celebration of CBC1s 50 years of public broadcasting service. The 162 page narrative is enhanced by its thorough footnoting and seven pages of reference sources on Canadian broadcasting history. Nolan's study is particularly detailed with regard to Plauntls English-French family background, his education, (straight Cs at the University of Toronto and only third class honours at Oxford), his politics, his friends, the forces that shaped his beliefs, the several causes he gave his energies to, his contradictory personality, and his extraordinary organizational skills. During his two years at Oxford (1927-291, Plaunt was a keen observer of the BBC in its first decade under the dominating leadership BOOK REVIEWS 89 of John Reith. Plaunt became a believer in Reith's approach to state-owned development of radio with its underlying philosophy that broadcasting's public service potential was too great to permit it to become a commercially oriented mass medium.

  • 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

  • AFFECTIVE PRACTICES of NATION and NATIONALISM on CANADIAN TELEVISION by MARUSYA BOCIURKIW BFA, Nova Scotia C
    I FEEL CANADIAN: AFFECTIVE PRACTICES OF NATION AND NATIONALISM ON CANADIAN TELEVISION by MARUSYA BOCIURKIW B.F.A., Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, 1982 M.A., York University, 1999 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in INTERDISCIPLINARY STUDIES THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA October 2004 © Marusya Bociurkiw 2004 -11 - ABSTRACT In this dissertation, I examine how ideas about the nation are produced via affect, especially Canadian television's role in this discursive construction. I analyze Canadian television as a surface of emergence for nationalist sentiment. Within this commercial medium, U.S. dominance, Quebec separatism, and the immigrant are set in an oppositional relationship to Canadian nationalism. Working together, certain institutions such as the law and the corporation, exercise authority through what I call 'technologies of affect': speech-acts, music, editing. I argue that the instability of Canadian identity is re-stabilized by a hyperbolic affective mode that is frequently produced through consumerism. Delimited within a fairly narrow timeframe (1995 -2002), the dissertation's chronological starting point is the Quebec Referendum of October 1995. It concludes at another site of national and international trauma: media coverage of September 11, 2001 and its aftermath. Moving from traumatic point to traumatic point, this dissertation focuses on moments in televised Canadian history that ruptured, or tried to resolve, the imagined community of nation, and the idea of a national self and national others. I examine television as a marker of an affective Canadian national space, one that promises an idea of 'home'.

  • Charles Millard, a Canadian in the International Labour Movement: a Case Study of the ICFTU 1955-61
    Charles Millard, A Canadian in the International Labour Movement: A Case Study of the ICFTU 1955-61 Anthony Carew Introduction THE WORLD FEDERATION of Trade Unions (WFTU), the global union organization formed in 1945 in an ambitious attempt to continue in peacetime the alliance that had developed in World War II between the labour movements of Britain, the USA, and the Soviet Union, split apart in 1949 under the pressure of big power politics. Different approaches to internal structural matters, as well as policies on Marshall Aid in the context of the deepening Cold War, caused most 'western' labour federations to withdraw and create in 1949 an avowedly non-communist rival body in the shape of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU). The project that this new International set itself was to stimulate trade union develop­ ment and cooperation around the world in a form that was 'free' from state control, with devolved regional structures designed to avoid the degree of administrative centralization that had been part of the WFTU. Within 5 years the ICFTU had secured the affiliation of 108 national trade union federations in 75 countries, representing in total 54 million members. On paper it was a powerful organization. However, within the ICFTU there was an imbalance of influence between affiliates from developed industrial countries and those from developing nations. 'On the formation of the ICFTU see Lewis L. Lorwin, The International Labour Movement (New York 1953) and John Windmuller, American Labour and the International Labour Movement (New York 1954). On the break-up of the WFTU see Anthony Carew, "The Schism Within the World Federation of Trade Unions: Government and Trade Union Diplomacy," International Review of Social History, 29 (1984), part 3 and Peter Weiler, "The United States, International Labour and the Cold War The Break-Up of the World Federation of Trade Unions," Diplomatic History, 5 (1981).

  • Diaspora Solidarities: Refugees, Human Rights, and the Jewish Labour Committee of Canada, 1936-1967
    Diaspora Solidarities: Refugees, Human Rights, and the Jewish Labour Committee of Canada, 1936-1967 Christopher John J. Chanco A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN GEOGRAPHY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO July 2018 © Christopher John J. Chanco, 2018 ABSTRACT This transnational history of the Jewish Labour Committee of Canada (JLC) retraces the organisation’s narratives, networks, and practices of “diaspora solidarity”, from the moment of its establishment and into the post-war period. The JLC’s activists refracted their solidarities through the lens of a diasporic Jewish identity. At a time when Canada imposed strong barriers against refugees, the JLC worked to send aid to the anti-fascist resistance in Europe while participating in a series of immigration schemes to bring Jews from displaced persons camps over to Canada. It was in this unique moment that the JLC could also launch pioneering human rights and anti-racism campaigns within the labour movement. Representing one section of the organised Jewish community in Canada, the JLC proved a critical part of the transformation of the country’s treatment of refugees and minorities in the following decades. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS My gratitude extends to members of the Canadian Jewish community and my professors and colleagues at York University. At the Geography Department, I have had the rare privilege of finding both a supervisor and a good friend in Philip Kelly. Labour geographer Steven Tufts meanwhile provided important advice on my thesis. From the History Department, David Koffman has been an exceptional source of support and affirmation, while being a patient sounding-board for my many anxieties about this topic.
