Clarke, Ottawa, Canada, 2009 iii Abstract Unwanted Warriors: The Rejected Volunteers of the Canadian Expeditionary Force Author: Nicholas (Nic) J. Clarke Supervisor: Chad Gaffield 2009 This study examines men who volunteered for active service during the Great War but were rejected as "unfit." In doing so, it explores the following issues: (1) the mechanisms by which the Canadian military adjudged an individual unfit to serve; (2) the difficulties faced by medical authorities when attempting to adjudge an individual's suitability for service; (3) how the military's construction of what characterised (un)fitness for service evolved during the Great War and what caused this evolution; (4) the clashing concepts of military fitness held by the Canadian military authorities, Canadian medical professionals, and lay people; (5) the implications of being labelled unfit for rejected volunteers and how these men reacted to being so labelled; and (6) how some individuals used claims of medical unfitness as a means to resist enlistment pressures or counter family members' attempts to enlist. This exploration highlights a group of individuals who have been overlooked in Canada's Great War historiography: rejected volunteers. It offers a new vantage point from which Great War historians might survey and reconceptualise a number of ongoing areas of research which include, but are not limited to, recruiting; manpower mobilisation; the growth of the post-war veterans' rights movement; civil-military and periphery-centre relations; agency and resistance; and how the war impacted on, and was understood by, Canada's civilian population. Furthermore, it examines the factors iv that informed early-twentieth-century Canadians' perceptions of disability, and, more broadly, what constituted disability. This study is founded on a research infrastructure of three interrelated databases. These databases contain information drawn from the attestation papers, service files, and, in some cases, personal correspondence, of 3,400 rejected volunteers. 3,050 of these men were rejected at Valcartier Camp in August-September, 1914, and represent 60 per cent of the total number of men - 5,081 - rejected at Valcartier during the formation of the First Contingent of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. The remaining 350 individuals were discharged as medically unfit to serve in England in 1916. The information contained in these databases enabled the description of physical and social characteristics of these men, as well as a close analyse of their reasons for rejection. In addition, they also allowed the tracing of multiple enlistment attempts; the examination of individual medical examiners' views regarding certain impairments; and the creation of personal histories - some extending well beyond 1918 - for a number of these individuals. 11 In memory of those who went and those who would have gone if they had been permitted V Acknowledgements It is oft-quoted wisdom that writing a dissertation is one of the loneliest tasks a person can experience. I cannot agree. In the last five years I have been blest with an incredible amount of support from family, friends, colleagues, and, indeed, strangers. It is no exaggeration to say that without this support this dissertation would never have been completed. Before acknowledging the myriad individuals who have supported me during the course of my studies, I would first like to recognise the financial support I have received from various institutions. I have been fortunate to have had my research funded in the form of an Ontario Graduate Scholarship, a Social Sciences and Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) Doctoral Fellowship, an Associated Medical Services (AMS) Hannah Senior General Scholarship, and a number of excellence scholarships from the University of Ottawa. Furthermore, both the Association of Part-Time Professors of the University of Ottawa and Canadian Battlefields Foundation gave me generous support that allowed me to share my research with colleagues outside of Canada. My first thanks goes to my supervisor, Professor Chad Gaffield. Chad's enthusiasm for my topic was palpable and his insights invaluable. As well as being my supervisor, Chad also invited me to become a member of the Canadian Century Research Infrastructure (CCRI), a pan-Canadian, multi-disciplinary, and multi- institutional effort to develop a set of interrelated databases centred on data drawn from Canada's 1911,1921, 1931,1941, and 1951 census. During my time at the CCRI I was fortunate to meet and work with a numbering of leading scholars. I also developed many new academic and project management skills. vi Professors Serge Durflinger, Robert McDonald, Veronica Strong-Boag, Tim Cook, Galen Perras, Robert Dienesch, Richard Connors, Marc Milner, Vasilis Vourkoutiotis, and Kris Inwood all deserve special thanks. As well as offering large amounts of their time to hear my half-baked ideas (and then gently guide me back to the reality), they unbegrudgingly shared the fruits of their own research with me. Perhaps most importantly, they all reassured me that my work was of value. I must especially thank Serge for his support during some of the darkest hours of my dissertation. A true gentleman and scholar, Serge's door was always open, his advice always sound, his critiques always fair, and his words always heartening. The debt of gratitude I owe him cannot be calculated. University of Ottawa's Department of History was a wonderful environment in which to work. Both the faculty and administrative staff are wonderful people. Francine Laramee, Department Secretary, and Suzanne Dalrymple, Academic Assistant, Graduate Programs, deserve particular acknowledgement. Friendly, understanding, and supportive, both Francine and Suzanne often go far beyond the call of duty when helping students, a reality that is too often ignored. The department's vibrant graduate student community was a constant source of support. Adam Green, Anthony Di Mascio, Katherine Rollwagen, Betsey Baldwin and Adam Gough deserve special acknowledgement in this regard. Their friendship and camaraderie got me through the inevitable difficulties that one faces when writing a dissertation. Likewise, the insightful critiques they offered on drafts of my work greatly improved the final product. I am sure they all know far more about this topic and me than they ever wanted to know. vii Brian Jennings and Richard Smith, who I worked with at the CCRJ, also merit thanks. Their sense of humour, willingness to be a test audience for my conference papers, and the patience they demonstrated when teaching me the wonders of computer programming and database construction are much appreciated. My mother-in-law Anne George and my aunt-in-law Marcia Rioux, both talented academics in their own right, provided me with encouragement, guidance, editing, challenging and thought-provoking criticism, and a place to escape the dissertation when I needed it. Diana Monnet, opened her home to Marcia and I when we first moved to Ottawa and has been a continued support.

Biographical Sketch: Maurice Arthur Pope was born 29 August 1889 at his parents’ summer home at St. Patrick, Temiscquata County, Quebec. He was the third son of Joseph Pope (who, at the time, was the private secretary of Sir John A. Macdonald) and of Henriette, the eldest daughter of Sir Henri Thomas Taschereau. Maurice received his early education in Ottawa at both the Model school and the Ottawa Collegiate Institute. Keen on sports, he ran with the Ottawa Harriers while attending high school. During the summer of 1905 he worked in a hydrographic party, which was engaged in surveying the route for the prepared Georgian Bay ship canal. During the summers of 1906 and 1907 he was employed in the construction of docks on the Louis embankment in Quebec City. He entered McGill University in the fall of 1906 to begin his studies in civil engineering and was an enthusiastic member of a fraternity. After a difficult second year at McGill, he decided to take a year off, during which he worked at Frankford on the construction of the Trent valley canal. He returned to McGill in the fall of 1909, worked for a contractor on a building extension in Montreal in the summer of 1910, and graduated from McGill in 1911. He then joined the Engineering department of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) in Montreal.

  • A Canadian Model of Proportional Representation by Robert S. Ring A
    Proportional-first-past-the-post: A Canadian model of Proportional Representation by Robert S. Ring A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Political Science Memorial University St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador May 2014 ii Abstract For more than a decade a majority of Canadians have consistently supported the idea of proportional representation when asked, yet all attempts at electoral reform thus far have failed. Even though a majority of Canadians support proportional representation, a majority also report they are satisfied with the current electoral system (even indicating support for both in the same survey). The author seeks to reconcile these potentially conflicting desires by designing a uniquely Canadian electoral system that keeps the positive and familiar features of first-past-the- post while creating a proportional election result. The author touches on the theory of representative democracy and its relationship with proportional representation before delving into the mechanics of electoral systems. He surveys some of the major electoral system proposals and options for Canada before finally presenting his made-in-Canada solution that he believes stands a better chance at gaining approval from Canadians than past proposals. iii Acknowledgements First of foremost, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to my brilliant supervisor, Dr. Amanda Bittner, whose continuous guidance, support, and advice over the past few years has been invaluable. I am especially grateful to you for encouraging me to pursue my Master’s and write about my electoral system idea.

  • The Canadian Militia in the Interwar Years, 1919-39
    THE POLICY OF NEGLECT: THE CANADIAN MILITIA IN THE INTERWAR YEARS, 1919-39 ___________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board ___________________________________________________________ in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY __________________________________________________________ by Britton Wade MacDonald January, 2009 iii © Copyright 2008 by Britton W. MacDonald iv ABSTRACT The Policy of Neglect: The Canadian Militia in the Interwar Years, 1919-1939 Britton W. MacDonald Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2008 Dr. Gregory J. W. Urwin The Canadian Militia, since its beginning, has been underfunded and under-supported by the government, no matter which political party was in power. This trend continued throughout the interwar years of 1919 to 1939. During these years, the Militia’s members had to improvise a great deal of the time in their efforts to attain military effectiveness. This included much of their training, which they often funded with their own pay. They created their own training apparatuses, such as mock tanks, so that their preparations had a hint of realism. Officers designed interesting and unique exercises to challenge their personnel. All these actions helped create esprit de corps in the Militia, particularly the half composed of citizen soldiers, the Non- Permanent Active Militia. The regulars, the Permanent Active Militia (or Permanent Force), also relied on their own efforts to improve themselves as soldiers. They found intellectual nourishment in an excellent service journal, the Canadian Defence Quarterly, and British schools. The Militia learned to endure in these years because of all the trials its members faced. The interwar years are important for their impact on how the Canadian Army (as it was known after 1940) would fight the Second World War.

    “Man’s Redemption of Man”: Medical Authority and Faith Healers in North America, 1850 - 1930 Heather McIntyre Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MA in History Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Heather McIntyre, Ottawa, Canada, 2020 ii ABSTRACT “Man’s Redemption of Man”: Medical Authority and Faith Healers in North America, 1850 – 1930 Heather McIntyre Supervisor: University of Ottawa, 2020 Heather Murray This thesis discusses the various rhetorical, logical, and legal methods the medical profession used to regulate faith healing in North America. In so doing, it illuminates larger questions about the place of religion and authority over the body in modernity. It uses a source base of medical journals, legal documents, and church records to illustrate how doctors positioned themselves as the rational and godly choice for sick people. While faith healing was originally one of many “cures” and kinds of medicine available to North Americans during the 19th century, the medical field rapidly professionalized and supported laws requiring anyone claiming to practice medicine to adhere to one form of scientifically- based medicine. To support this change, physicians used the category of “quackery,” which implies backwardness and superstition, to illustrate the hazards of faith healing and other alternative medicines. Later, the rise of psychology in the 1890s reshaped physicians’ view of faith healing, and they came to explain its claims of success by arguing that “suggestion,” or messages to a person’s unconscious beliefs, can cure particular (gendered) kinds of mental illnesses. Doctors and clergy became curious about the safe use of suggestion, and embarked on experiments like the Emmanuel Movement.
