Project Folder: Honour Without Courage
Project by Levi Orta Montreal, 2013 In Quebec, 85% of the population rejects the monarchy as a model of representation for Canada; the monarchy justifies itself as a cultural tradition of the country. I am interested in linking the concepts of “representation” in art and “representation” in politics, triggering a perversion of both. The project uses a fictional event where I save the life of a woman disguised as Queen Elizabeth II in order to apply for the “Star of Courage”, a decoration awarded by the representative of the monarchy in Canada by order of the Queen. The whole application process, the proofs of the heroic action, and the expected granting of the medal are part of the project. It is one representation that meets another, the realities of art and politics dissolving into each other and becoming accomplices. … Au Québec, 85% de la population rejette la monarchie comme modèle de représentation du Canada ; la monarchie justifie l’implémentation de ses pratiques comme un sujet de tradition culturelle du pays. Je suis intéressé à lier les concepts de « représentation » dans l’art et de « représentation » dans la politique, afin de provoquer une perversion de ces représentations. Le projet consiste à utiliser un incident fictif lors duquel je sauve la vie d'une femme déguisée en Reine Elizabeth II afin de soumettre ma candidature à la nomination de la « Star of Courage », une décoration décernée par la monarchie canadienne sur ordre de la Reine. Tout le processus d’application, les preuves de l’action héroïque ainsi que l’octroi tant attendu de la médaille font partie du projet. -

The Order of Military Merit to Corporal R
Chapter Three The Order Comes to Life: Appointments, Refinements and Change His Excellency has asked me to write to inform you that, with the approval of The Queen, Sovereign of the Order, he has appointed you a Member. Esmond Butler, Secretary General of the Order of Military Merit to Corporal R. L. Mailloux, I 3 December 1972 nlike the Order of Canada, which underwent a significant structural change five years after being established, the changes made to the Order of Military U Merit since 1972 have been largely administrative. Following the Order of Canada structure and general ethos has served the Order of Military Merit well. Other developments, such as the change in insignia worn on undress ribbons, the adoption of a motto for the Order and the creation of the Order of Military Merit paperweight, are examined in Chapter Four. With the ink on the Letters Patent and Constitution of the Order dry, The Queen and Prime Minister having signed in the appropriate places, and the Great Seal affixed thereunto, the Order had come into being, but not to life. In the beginning, the Order consisted of the Sovereign and two members: the Governor General as Chancellor and a Commander of the Order, and the Chief of the Defence Staff as Principal Commander and a similarly newly minted Commander of the Order. The first act of Governor General Roland Michener as Chancellor of the Order was to appoint his Secretary, Esmond Butler, to serve "as a member of the Advisory Committee of the Order." 127 Butler would continue to play a significant role in the early development of the Order, along with future Chief of the Defence Staff General Jacques A. -
Canada and the Kosovo Crisis: an Agenda for Intervention

Series: Martello papers ; 36 DR2087.6.F652C3 2010 949.7103 C2010-907064-X © Copyright 2011 Martello Paper Series Queen’s University’s Centre for International Relations (QCIR) is pleased to present the latest in its series of monographs, the Martello Papers. Taking their name from the distinctive towers built during the nineteenth century to defend Kingston, Ontario, these papers cover a wide range of topics and issues in foreign and defence policy, and in the study of international peace and security. How governments make decisions in times of crisis is a topic which has long fascinated both theorists and practitioners of international politics. Michael Manulak’s study of the Canadian government’s decision to take part in NATO’s use of force against Serbia in the spring of 1999 deploys a novel social-scientific method to dissect the process whereby that decision was made. In that respect this paper descends from a long line of inquiry going back to the 1960s and the complex flow-charts designed by “scientific” students of foreign policy. -

BROCK's BANTER: Above the Footsteps of Giants
This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Fri Oct 1 4:52:17 2021 / +0000 GMT BROCK'S BANTER: Above the footsteps of giants By Brock Weir It is sometimes said our leaders lack perspective, whether it is looking at the elusive, oft-mentioned ? and usually undefined ? ?big picture? or having a full grasp of Canada's (or Ontario's, or insert the jurisdiction of your choice) place in the world. Well, as far as our next Governor General is concerned, we can throw those ideas out the window. I think the Queen would be hard-pressed to find someone in the country with a wider-ranging perspective of the world, as well as the issues within it, than the newly-minted Governor General-Designate Julie Payette, the former Chief Astronaut of the Canadian Space Agency. A systems engineer by trade, she brings an impressive résumé to Rideau Hall, ranging from a long-time position at IBM to Board positions at organization as varied as Queen's University, Drug Free Kids Canada, the International Olympic Committee Women in Sports Commission, and the Montreal Bach Festival. There are few people who can say this is not a well-rounded portfolio! Ms. Payette's appointment as Governor General-Designate was announced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Ottawa last week, following a meeting with the Queen in Edinburgh. ?She is already well-known to Canadians,? said Trudeau, noting her achievement of being the second Canadian woman in space following Roberta Bondar. ?Ms. Payette's life has been one dedicated to discovery, to dreaming big, to always staying focused on the things that matter most. -
