The Media on Trial LRCv11n3f 2/19/04 9:22 AM Page 1 THE MEDIA ON TRIAL The fictional pyrotechnics of Rui Umezawa LRC VOL. 11, NO. 3 Literary Review of Canada APRIL 2003 $4.50 “McAndrew’s almost total silence on the existence of the English school system in Quebec, and English as a means of communication on a wider basis, is a faithful reflection of the French-language educational system she is describing.” Reed Scowen considers Quebec’s two solitudes and the languages they speak. “Iraq is the wrong place to lead the Arab world from and Saddam is definitely the wrong man to lead it, but even thugs have dreams.” Gwynne Dyer helps us to understand Iraq. “Many of us who embraced literary theory in American graduate schools in the heady days of its beginnings in the 1970s had no idea what was about to be unleashed.” Lorrie Clark takes aim at postmodern theory. “Once I was asked to drive 25 kilometres to change the fuses in an elderly lady’s home where the lights had gone off. ‘But isn’t there someone close by?’ I asked. ‘Well, my son-in-law lives around the corner,’ came the reply, ‘but I didn’t want to bother him.’” John Roberts on the evolving role of MPs.

    First speech of the 28th Lieutenant Governor of Ontario Mr. Premier, Former Premiers, Mr. Chief Justice, Former Lieutenant Governor Lincoln Alexander, Members of the Legislative Assembly, Ontario Regional Chief and Grand Chiefs of our First Nations, Pastor Martin, Distinguished Guests, Members of the Accessibility Standards Advisory Council, Ladies and Gentlemen, Mes Chers Amis, On behalf of my wife Ruth Ann, my sons Jonathan, Robert and Michael and through marriage, the members of the Wallace, Smithson, Mason, Wiseman, Guest and Howson families, thank you for sharing this wonderful day with us. It is a privilege and an honour to speak to you, for the first time, as the 28 th Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, the Representative of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. C’est un grand honneur pour moi que de m’adresser à vous aujourd’hui en tant que représentant, en Ontario, de Sa Majesté la reine Elizabeth II. My Father’s side of the family came to Canada from the British Isles in the 1840’s and my maternal grandmother’s family settled in the Niagara region as United Empire Loyalists. My maternal grandfather was born in London, England and came to Toronto in 1912 along with his brother, three sisters and mother. As such, I grew up in an environment of great respect and affection for The Queen of Canada as our Head of State. As an adult, my news reporting and volunteer activities at a wide variety of functions attended by successive Lieutenant Governors over the last 22 years have given me insight into the important constitutional, community, ceremonial and other public responsibilities of this office.

    CFP Canadian Foreign Policy La Politique étrangère du Canada Volume 12, Number 2 (Fall 2005) A. Walter Dorn Canadian Peacekeeping: Proud Tradition, Strong Future? Canadian Peacekeeping: Proud Tradition, Strong Future? Peacekeeping has a place of pride in the Canadian national identity. Canadians feel that their nation is a natural leader in this international endeavour. How is this national identity expressed, and how has it come about? Is it justified? An answer to these questions requires a probe of Canadian public and military attitudes, a historical review of Canada’s peacekeeping activities, and an examination of current Canadian contributions. The final question is: What is needed if Canada is to live up to the image of the proud and prolific peacekeeper? On associe fièrement l’identité nationale canadienne au maintien de la paix. Les Canadiens estiment que leur pays est un leader naturel dans cet effort international. Comment s’exprime ce sentiment et d’où vient-il? Est-il pleinement justifié? Pour répondre à ces questions, il faut examiner les attitudes publiques et militaires du Canada, les contributions passées du Canada au maintien de la paix et ses activités actuelles. Dernière question, évidemment : que faut-il pour que le Canada soit à la hauteur de cette image d’artisan de paix fier et prolifique? CANADIAN PEACEKEEPING: 7 PROUD TRADITION, STRONG FUTURE? A. WALTER DORN * o Canadians, peacekeeping conjures up positive, heroic, and sometimes tragic images: a soldier rescuing a child during a firefight; a pilot flying in desperately needed supplies while T under fire from the ground; a medic tending the wounds of an ailing refugee; a soldier on patrol in no-man’s land between determined combatants; an officer uncovering mass graves after a genocide.
