A Great War of Expectations: Men, Mothers, and Monsters in Toronto, 1914-1918 A GREAT WAR OF EXPECTATIONS: MEN, MOTHERS, AND MONSTERS IN TORONTO, 1914-1918 by Mary Georgina Chaktsiris A thesis submitted to the Department of History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (September, 2015) Copyright ©Mary Georgina Chaktsiris, 2015 Abstract Gendered expectations about wartime duty were central to Toronto’s mobilization during the First World War. How Torontonians defined these duties and responsibilities – and how they imagined the war they were waging – exposes attitudes and reactions towards war that were contrary to those expected and promoted by the war effort. Many of these expectations were based on the prevailing imperial understandings of manhood, war, and militarism of the era. The historiography of the First World War generally presents ideas of a national coming of age. However, how Torontonians lived and imagined war from 1914 to 1918 demonstrates this experience was both contested and gendered. This case study of wartime Toronto examines how municipal, provincial, and federal authorities reinforced masculine expectations during wartime, and especially how active service was framed as the ultimate expression of manhood and masculinity. This study traces links between masculine duty and enlistment for war as communicated through war posters and the city’s municipal organizations. Wartime activities – including recruitment and conscription, the identification of enemy aliens, and civil unrest – were framed by understandings of manhood that valued active military service as its ultimate test. Toronto was a military centre for the recruitment of acceptable soldier-volunteers, and later soldier-conscripts; it was also a place where “enemy aliens” were identified, suspected, and registered and where veterans struggled to readjust to civilian life. While some Torontonians supported the war and the ideals of freedom and democracy it was believed to safeguard, others voiced their displeasure about the war and its effects within the city. ii Acknowledgements I owe many thanks to those who helped along in the journey from thesis proposal to Ph.D. dissertation.

  • Religion, Homosexuality, and Collisions of Liberty and Equality in American Public Law
    A Jurisprudence of "Coming Out": Religion, Homosexuality, and Collisions of Liberty and Equality in American Public Law William N. Eskridge, Jr.! Conflicts among religious and ethnic groups have scored American cultural and political history. Some of these conflicts have involved campaigns of suppression against deviant religious and minority ethnic groups by the mainstream. Although the law has most often been deployed as an instrument of suppression, there is now a public law consensus to preserve and protect the autonomy of religious and ethnic subcultures, as well as the ability of their members to self-identify without penalty. One thesis of this Essay is that this vaunted public law consensus should be extended to sexual orientation minorities as well. Like religion, sexual orientation marks both personal identity and social divisions.' In this century, in fact, sexual orientation has steadily been replacing religion as the identity characteristic that is both physically invisible and morally polarizing. In 1900, one's group identity was largely defined by one's ethnicity, social class, sex, and religion. The norm was Anglo-Saxon, middle-class, male, and Protestant. The Jew, Roman Catholic, or Jehovah's Witness was considered deviant and was subject to social, economic, and political discrimination. In 2000, one's group identity will be largely defined by one's race, income, sex, and sexual orientation. The norm will be white, middle-income, male, and heterosexual. The lesbian, gay man, or transgendered person will be considered deviant and will be subject to social, economic, and political discrimination. t Professor of Law, Georgetown University Law Center. An earlier draft of this Essay was presented at workshops held at the Georgetown University Law Center.

The CBC thus unequivocally supported the national cause throughout all levels of its organization. Its senior administrations and programmers directed the CBC’s efforts to aid the Canadian war effort.

Abstract Since Confederation enshrined Canada Customs’ mandate to seize “indecent and immoral” material, the nation’s borders have served as discursive sites of sexual censorship for the LGBTTQ lives and literatures that cross the line. While the Supreme Court’s decision in Little Sisters v. Canada (2000) upheld the agency’s power to exclude obscenity, the Court found Customs discriminatory in their preemptive seizures of LGBTTQ material. Extrapolating from this case of the state’s failure to sufficiently ‘read’ queer sex at the border, this dissertation moves beyond studies of how obscenity law regulates literary content to posit that LGBTTQ authors innovate aesthetics in response to a complex network of explicit and implicit forms of censorship.

  • Press Censorship, Politics and French Canada, 1940
    Skirting the Minefield: Press Censorship, Politics and French Canada, 1940 GEORGE D. KERR, University of Western Ontario In a democracy with a strong tradition of freedom of the press, the imposition of censorship as a wartime necessity is rarely accomplished without considerable difficulty in its execution and in the definition of its limits. In Canada during the Second World War, the difficulty of controlling the flow of news in the interests of the war effort was compounded because the French-Canadians were in general unenthusiastic about their country's participation in a war which many regarded as none of Canada's business. The imposition of censorship had to take into account not only the general curtailment of freedom of expression, but also the sensitivities of that part of the population which had previously shown its reluctance to accept coercive or restrictive measures during the First World War.' Although press censorship remained a controversial issue in Canada for the duration of the war, the most intense opposition to it was manifested in 1940, not merely because the precipitating cause was controversial in itself, but because it highlighted the most divisive domestic issue in the country, the different perception of national goals and purposes maintained by Canada's two 'founding peoples.' It was over an issue arising from the imposition of press censorship that this major cleavage revealed itself for the first, but not the last time in Canada. Censorship was accepted as an unpleasant, but unavoidable necessity by most of Canada's newspapers when war broke out in 1939. As Canada's leading daily newspaper, the Toronto Globe and Mailstated, 'Freedom of speech must be curtailed when the nation is .

  • Online Liberty: Freedom of Expression in the Information Age
    102 - DALHOUSIE JOURNAL OF LEGAL STUDIES ONLINE LIBERTY: FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION IN THE INFORMATION AGE ROBERT DAWKINst ABSTRACT Cyberspace is generally conceived as a highly participato1y environ- ment that facilitates broad-based participation in the free marketplace of ideas. This paper considers the impact of the new media context upon the constitutional validity of laws regulating expressive content. Cana- dian jurisprudence regarding freedom of expression rights pursuant to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are reviewed and con-2001 CanLIIDocs 27 trasted with the American medium specific approach. It is argued that current Canadian jurisprudence indicates that the new media context should not alter the level of scrutiny in the Section 1 analysis. While the democratizing influence of cyberspace is laudable, new media must be considered in the context of Canadian society and Charter values. The constitutional validity of laws regulating the content of online expres- sion must not be determined by technology at the expense of general social and constitutional principles. INTRODUCTION Cyberspace is generally conceived of as a highly participatory envi- ronment that facilitates broad-based participation in the free market- place of ideas. The accessibility of the Internet has significantly in- creased the ability of individual persons to access information and to express their opinions to the connnunity at large. As a result, the content of cyberspace has been said to be "as diverse as human thought."1 t Robert Dawkins graduated with a B.A. (Honours) from the University of Toronto and Dalhousie Law School with an LLB. He would like to thank Professor Teresa Scassa and Professor Wayne Mackay for their suggestions and constrnctive criticism in writing this paper.

  • A History of Censorship of Gay and Lesbian Sexual Representation in Canada

INTRODUCTION Canada has a long and illustrious history of censorship. Since 1867, it would seem that a defining characteristic of Canadian national identity has been to censor, particularly at our borders, to make sure that material that would “deprave and corrupt” was not permitted entry into our country. The censorship of gay and lesbian1 materials is of a slightly more recent vintage, largely paralleling the rise of the gay and lesbian liberation movement in the 1970s. This is not to say that gay and lesbian themed material was not censored before the 1970s. It was. But the heyday of gay and lesbian censorship follows the emergence of the gay and lesbian liberation movement in the 1970s and 1980s. In this essay, I review this history of censorship, focusing on both customs censorship and criminal obscenity prosecutions. I argue that despite many legal defeats, the censorship of gay and lesbian sexual representations in Canada failed; indeed it failed precisely by its own internal contradictory nature. Censorship controversies, I argue, represent a site of public contestation over legitimate and illegitimate speech, and more specifically, that censorship controversies over sexual speech represent a contestation over sexual normativity. Relying on the new censorship studies literature, I argue that each moment of censorship mobilized resistance, making the story of censorship one of resistance and of redrawing the borders of legitimate sexual speech.

It takes advantage of newly digitized historical newspapers and soldier files to explore how the people of Victoria B.C. Canada, over 8000 kilometers from the front, experienced the Great War 1914-1918. Although that experience was similar to other Canadian cities in many ways, in other respects it was quite different. Victoria’s geographical location on the very fringe of the Empire sets it apart. Demographic and ethnic differences from the rest of Canada and a very different history of indigenous-settler relations had a dramatic effect on who went to war, who resisted and how war was commemorated in Victoria.
