Supervisor; Dr. Ian MaePherson Abstract The modem Canadian state is secular, but it is not a neutral state. It is a liberal democracy in which the prevailing value system has shifted. The shift has been from a culture in which a commonly held religion was accorded a special place in the development of law and custom, to a culture in which religious pluralism is recognized and an institutionalized secularism obtains. The assumption would be that this would betoken a new tolerance for diversity, and in some ways it does. In other ways, the modem state behaves with an understanding of pluralism that is just as consensus oriented as the Protestant Culture that dominated in Canada until the middle of the twentieth century, and with the same illiberal tendencies. In historical terms, the effect that can be charted is one of repeating hegemonies, where respect for freedom of conscience or religion remains an incomplete ideal. How do we assess respect for religious freedom? One way is through an evaluation of the developing jurispmdence in the manifold areas in public life where religious freedom is contested. Another is through an exploration of one of these contested facets of the public square. That is what this dissertation attempts to provide. The case study is that of broadcasting: more specifically, the regulation of religious broadcasting in Canada from the time that it began until the last decade of the twentieth century. For explaining the Canadian historical approach to religion, it benefits from an easy comparison with the United States, where a very different set of circumstances evolved. John Moir once characterized Canadian religion since its disestablishment in the mid nineteenth century as that of a “legally disestablished religiosity”. In contradistinction from the United States, the implication is of a greater level of control over religious expression. For the purposes of this dissertation, it is an apt description for how and why the state has altemately suppressed, supported and enjoined Canadian religion in an important area of public life, one whose span straddles the shift from a Christian to a secular culture. In the regulation of broadcasting, both public and private, we see that the management of religious expression has worked from the start to affirm the dominant religious prejudices of the majority of Canadians. Our case study also suggest that such privileging was managed through the advice and support of the mainline churches. It suggests that the discourse of “balance” through which broadcasting was controlled, particularly since the decade of the nineteen sixties, constituted a self-serving defense of discriminatory regulation. As well, the case study provides an argument for the existence of a Canadian civic religion of nation building, for the idea that this civic religion is as old as European settlement itself, and for the promise that in recognizing its existence we can move beyond a pattern in our past of marginalizing non-conforming value systems and those who hold them. This paper operates on three levels. On one level it provides an historical argument for the idea that the modem liberal state is repeating the practices of hegemonic value systems of the past. On another level it provides a philosophical argument that this cycle is fed by the assumption that a healthy public arena is empty of irreconcilable views, and that this idea sustains a perpetual inability of the mainstream to respect true diversity in first order questions. Finally, it is a case study in one area of the Canadian public square - radio and television broadcasting - through which the merits of both of these points can be evaluated. — _________________________________________ Dr. Ian MaePherson: Supervisor (Depairtment of History) artmental (Member (Department of History) Dr. Brian Dippie, Departmental Member (Department of History) Dr. John McLaren, Outside Memb^ (F^pulty of Law) Dr. DavWdvIarshall, External Examiner (Department of History, University of Calgary) Contents Part I Introduction 1 1 The long context 10 Part II 2 The Bible Students 43 3 CHUC Saskatoon and Jarvis Street Baptist; a study in contrasts 79 4 The Promise of Public Broadcasting 100 5 Controversy and control, public and commercial 130 6 The Corporation and the National Religious Advisory Council 179 7 CBC Religion 209 8 The CRTC years 254 Conclusion 295 Part III Post-modern liberalism and the Canadian public square 303 End notes 331 Bibliography 380 Acknowledgements There are many people who have contributed to the completion of this project.

VI The information age is the great era of human hubris, the flowering of the Enlightenment ideas of the autonomy of humankind and the power of human beings to control their own destiny. Yet we can’t even control the effects of the technologies that we create! This is the great, laughable irony! -Quentin Schultze Introduction: The document you are holding is not the one it was designed to be when I first began my research. The topic — the regulation of religion in the democratic public square — has not changed, but the long road toward the point at which the following thoughts were assembled into their current form began with a closer destination, both in time and in methodology. The framework as originally conceived would have brought us hack only as far as the early days of radio broadcasting in Canada. This was to have been the starting point for an explanation of how the Canadian state had managed to construct a broadcasting system that alienated whatever religious group stood outside the mainstream, a middle road that was never defined but through the inconsistent application of broadcasting legislation over the past seven decades. Inconsistent being relative, for though the target of censorship of religion programming varied with time and situation, there was a consistent refusal throughout to license religious stations. In fact there was no moment in these decades in which a religious broadcasting station was licensed. The wider interest explains how the parameters of this study expanded into something that begins with a lengthy historical sketch (one that takes us into a time when the technology for the transmission of the voice over radio wave was still centuries away), and concludes with a still lengthier philosophical discussion. The investigation began with a small question, posed by a friend. How to explain “CBC religion”, that humanistic blend of religiosity that stood as the state alternative to religious broadcasters? How could one explain the situation whereby a democratic state would silence contending religious voices while disseminating a civic religion of its own making. How could it continue to a point where it would one eventually make sense that the Playboy channel could secure a license to broadcast, but religious broadcasters could not? These were complicated questions, and the answer lay not in the field of broadcasting, nor even in the age in which it existed: this instead could only be a case study in the answer to the more philosophical discussion of hegemonies and the public square. In the end the topic of broadcasting is almost incidental, in that it could as easily have been on a completely different facet of public life. The use of public education as a means of social control is one of the most obvious examples.’ The history of juridical interpretation is another. Both have been skilfully presented to support the idea that the notion of a secular state is a myth, that in reality the modem state operates according to a distinct worldview with its own intolerances.

  • Gobitis and Barnett: the Flag Salute and the Changing Interpretation of the Constitution Rhenee Clark Swink in Minersville Schoo
    72 Gobitis and Barnett: The Flag Salute and the Changing Interpretation of the Constitution Rhenee Clark Swink In Minersville School District vs Gobitis (1940) the United States Supreme Court ruled 8 to1 overturning lower court decisions barring states from implementing compulsory flag salutes. Three years later, the Supreme Court overturned that ruling with a 6 to 3 decision in West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette (1943). The cases were nearly identical and argued similarly but had different outcomes. How did the landscape of America change so drastically in a three-year period? First, the Supreme Court did not see a danger in the rise of nationalism in the United States or the social impact the ruling would bring. Second, the violence that followed Gobitis decision caused Jehovah’s Witnesses, a pacifist group that was uninvolved in politics, to become more persistent in utilizing the legal system and more vocal concerning persecution of its members. Finally, the Supreme Court was not the same. A change in justices and a shift in the focus of the Court from economic matters to personal liberties created a different political landscape, when West Virginia State Board of Education vs. Barnett reached the Court in 1943. Jehovah’s Witnesses sought to spread their message and seek new members through distribution of the organizations magazines and books, playing recorded phonograph messages from organization leaders, and through public lectures. The group was frequently arrested for selling books without a license. Other areas developed specific ordinances to target Jehovah’s Witnesses. One community in Georgia passed an ordinance that prohibited anyone calling on houses to offer any printed material.47 Jehovah Witnesses trace their origins to a group founded in the late nineteenth century in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.

Indeed the term may open up new avenues of research by taking into account both material and conceptual infrastructures related to the production of “nations.” Nations are not as fixed as their borders might suggest; they are lived entities, continually remade culturally and socially, as cultural theorist Homi Bhabha asserts with his notion of nation as narration, as built on a dialect- ical tension between the material objects of nation—including architecture—and accompanying narratives.2 Nation is thus conceived as an imaginative yet material process. But what is an architecture of bordering (or borders)? Initially we might think of the architecture at international boundaries, including customs build- ings and the infrastructures of mobil- ity (highways, bridges, tunnels, etc.) or immobility (walls, spaces for detainment of suspected criminals or terrorists, etc.).

  • The Regional Cosmopolitanism of George Woodcock
    Transoceanic Canada: The Regional Cosmopolitanism of George Woodcock by Matthew Hiebert B.A., The University of Winnipeg, 1997 M.A., The University of Amsterdam, 2002 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Doctor of Philosophy in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (English) The University Of British Columbia (Vancouver) August 2013 c Matthew Hiebert, 2013 ABSTRACT Through a critical examination of his oeuvre in relation to his transoceanic geographical and intellectual mobility, this dissertation argues that George Woodcock (1912-1995) articulates and applies a normative and methodological approach I term “regional cosmopolitanism.” I trace the development of this philosophy from its germination in London’s thirties and forties, when Woodcock drifted from the poetics of the “Auden generation” towards the anti-imperialism of Mahatma Gandhi and the anarchist aesthetic modernism of Sir Herbert Read. I show how these connected influences—and those also of Mulk Raj Anand, Marie-Louise Berneri, Prince Peter Kropotkin, George Orwell, and French Surrealism—affected Woodcock’s critical engagements via print and radio with the Canadian cultural landscape of the Cold War and its concurrent countercultural long sixties. Woodcock’s dynamic and dialectical understanding of the relationship between literature and society produced a key intervention in the development of Canadian literature and its critical study leading up to the establishment of the Canada Council and the groundbreaking journal Canadian Literature. Through his research and travels in India—where he established relations with the exiled Dalai Lama and major figures of an independent English Indian literature—Woodcock relinquished the universalism of his modernist heritage in practising, as I show, a postcolonial and postmodern situated critical cosmopolitanism that advocates globally relevant regional culture as the interplay of various traditions shaped by specific geographies.

    EN TEMPS DE GUERRE COMME EN TEMPS DE PAIX, GOUVERNEMENT MANQUANT, GOUVERNANCE MANQUÉE : LA PROTECTION CIVILE AU CANADA, 1938-1988 André Lamalice Thèse soumise à la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales dans le cadre des exigences du programme de doctorat en histoire avec spécialisation en études canadiennes Département d‟histoire Faculté des arts Université d‟Ottawa © André Lamalice, Ottawa, Canada, 2011 ii RÉSUMÉ À travers l‟étude des cinquante premières années de l‟histoire de la protection civile au Canada, le présent travail discute de la capacité et de la volonté politique de gouvernements nationaux successifs d‟assurer la sécurité de la population en temps de crises et d‟urgences. Cette thèse soutient qu‟à l‟exclusion d‟un bref intermède au plus fort de la Guerre froide, la fonction de protection civile ne parviendra pas à s‟imposer au nombre des priorités de la gouvernance canadienne au cours de cette période. Entre la création administrative d‟un sous-comité sur les précautions contre les raids aériens à la veille de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, qui marque les débuts de la fonction de protection civile au Canada, et l‟adoption en 1988 de la Loi sur la protection civile, un demi-siècle s‟écoule. L‟histoire de cette fonction se développe en réaction à l‟évolution du contexte international et au gré des impératifs politiques, économiques et sociaux nationaux qui marquent la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. Sa généalogie emprunte à la défense nationale à la fois le vocabulaire et la structure. Longtemps confondue dans la forme et dans le fond à la défense civile, la protection civile en arrive tard dans le siècle à se défaire de ses origines imposées et à se forger une personnalité propre orientée vers la gestion des urgences.

  • 609 the History of the Organized Pseudolegal Commercial Argument Phenomenon in Canada I. Introduction
    THE ORGANIZED PSEUDOLEGAL COMMERCIAL ARGUMENT PHENOMENON 609 THE HISTORY OF THE ORGANIZED PSEUDOLEGAL COMMERCIAL ARGUMENT PHENOMENON IN CANADA DONALD J. NETOLITZKY* This article discusses the history of the poorly understood Organized Pseudolegal Commercial Arguments (OPCA) phenomena. Drawing from various reported and unreported sources, the author begins his review in the 1950s with two distinct pseudolegal traditions that evolved separately in both the United States and Canada. Focusing on the prominent members of each era of the OPCA movement, the author explains in depth the concepts behind the movement and what it means for the legal system in Canada today. The article culminates with an analysis of the current OPCA groups and how Canadian courts should respond to future OPCA litigants, while also giving reasons as to why it is important for Canadians to take notice of this movement due to potential security risks.
