Recognizing an Historic Injustice: Canada’s First Operations, 1914–1920 Internment National Canada’s Injustice: Historic an Recognizing Recognizing an Historic Injustice Recognizing an Historic Injustice: Canada’s First National Internment During Canada’s first national internment operations between 1914 and 1920 the families of those labeled “enemy aliens” were separated, their property confiscated Operations, 1914–1920 and sold, and thousands of men were consigned to internment camps and years of forced labour in Canada’s wilderness. The affected communities include Ukrainians, Bulgarians, Croatians, Czechs, Germans, Hungarians, Italians, Jews, various people from the Ottoman Empire, Polish, Romanians, Russians, Serbians, Slovaks, Slovenes, among others of which most were Ukrainians and most were civilians. On 25 November 2005 MP Inky Mark’s private member’s Bill C-331, Internment of Persons of Ukrainian Origin Recognition Act, received Royal Assent. Following negotiations with the Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Association, the Ukrainian Canadian Congress and the Ukrainian Canadian Foundation of Taras Shevchenko the Government of Canada established the Canadian First World War Internment Recognition Fund, 9 May 2008, to support commemorative and educational initiatives that recall what happened during Canada’s first national internment operations of 1914–1920. This project has been made possible by a grant from the Endowment Council of the Canadian First World War Internment Recognition Fund. ❍ PRIMARY www.internmentcanada.ca ❍ INTERMEDIATE the ❍✔ critical thinking MIDDLE consortium ❍✔ SENIOR FOR MORE inforMATion The Critical Thinking Consortium (TC2) 1580 West Broadway Vancouver, British Columbia V6J 5K8 AUTHORS Atul Bahl Ilan Danjoux Lindsay Gibson James Miles tel 604-639-6325 • fax 604-639-6325 [email protected] • www.tc2.ca SERIES EDITOR Roland Case EDITORS Atul Bahl Roland Case School districts Schools Abbotsford School District #34 Athol Murray College of Notre Dame Buffalo Trail Public Schools Regional Division No. 28 Bayview Glen Burnaby School District #41 Boissevain School Calgary Board of Education Bowen Island Community School Calgary Catholic School District Branksome Hall Catholic District School Board of Eastern Ontario Brentwood Elementary School Central Okanagan School District #23 Little Flower Academy Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-Est Montcrest School Conseil scolaire catholique Franco-Nord Pickering College Delta School District #37 Queen Margaret’s School District School Board of Niagara Robbins Hebrew Academy Durham District School Board Rockway Mennonite Collegiate Foothills School Division St. Andrew`s College Golden Hills School Division No. 75 Stratford Hall Grande Prairie Public School District Talmud Torah School Horizon School District University of Toronto Schools Kootenay Lake School District #8 Windsor-Essex Secondary English Language Arts Limestone District School Board Montgomery County Public Schools Professional associations Northern Gateway Regional Division No. 10 and other organizations Northwest Territories Education, Culture and Employment Alberta Teachers’ Association Ottawa Catholic School Board Begbie Contest Society Ottawa-Carleton District School Board BC Teacher Librarians’ Association Parkland School Division Calgary Regional Consortium Peace Wapiti School District 76 Consortium d’apprentissage virtuel de langue Peel District School Board française de l’Ontario Prairie Land Regional Division No. 25 Edmonton Regional Learning Consortium Renfrew County District School Board Northwest Regional Learning Consortium Rundle College Society Ontario Teachers’ Federation Saskatoon Public Schools Science Times Collaborative Surrey School District #36 Southern Alberta Professional Development Consortium Upper Grand District School Board The History Education Network Vancouver School District #39 Wellington Catholic District School Board Wikwemikong Board of Education York Region District School Board Recognizing an Historic Injustice: Canada’s First National Internment Operations, 1914-1920 VOICES PIVOTAL A unit for secondary students exploring the events, causes and consequences of the internment of thousands of individuals in Canada during the First World War era Authors Atul Bahl Ilan Danjoux Lindsay Gibson James Miles Editors Atul Bahl Roland Case the critical thinking consortium www.internmentcanada.ca Series published by The Critical Thinking Consortium 4th Floor – 1580 West Broadway Vancouver, BC V6J 5K8 Tel: 604.639.6325 Fax: 604.639.6325 E-mail: [email protected] Web: www.tc2.ca Cover Design: Sharlene Eugenio, Pacific Educational Press Interior Design: M.

This series seeks to embed multiple voices in the teaching of history. Since it is impossible and unproductive to try to represent all conceivable perspectives on a given event, we focus on key groups that are likely to differ from one another, and whose stories have not been sufficiently told. The series title—pivotal voices—reflects this approach and our attempts to present various groups’ stories in their own words. About this publication The objective of this publication is to raise critical awareness among secondary school students about the largely unknown story of Canada’s first national internment operations between Foreword 1914 and 1920. During this period the federal government interned thousands of Ukrainians, Bulgarians, Croatians, Czechs, Germans, Hungarians, Italians, Jews, various people from the Ottoman Empire, Polish, Romanians, Russians, Serbians, Slovaks, Slovenes, among others of whom most were Ukrainians and most were civilians. While it is impossible to teach all stories and events in our nation’s history, the omission until very recently of this incident, has left a gap in our understanding of Canada’s history. It was not until 2008 that the Canadian government recognized this legally sanctioned historical injustice. Part of the pledge to redress this wrong is to educate Canadian youth about the First World War internment era. This publication is an attempt to recognize those who suffered from

    Myth Making, Juridification, and Parasitical Discourse: a Barthesian Semiotic Demystification of Canadian Political Discourse on Marijuana

    MYTH MAKING, JURIDIFICATION, AND PARASITICAL DISCOURSE: A BARTHESIAN SEMIOTIC DEMYSTIFICATION OF CANADIAN POLITICAL DISCOURSE ON MARIJUANA DANIEL PIERRE-CHARLES CRÉPAULT Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in Criminology Department of Criminology Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa © Daniel Pierre-Charles Crépault, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 ABSTRACT The legalization of marijuana in Canada represents a significant change in the course of Canadian drug policy. Using a semiotic approach based on the work of Roland Barthes, this dissertation explores marijuana’s signification within the House of Commons and Senate debates between 1891 and 2018. When examined through this conceptual lens, the ongoing parliamentary debates about marijuana over the last 127 years are revealed to be rife with what Barthes referred to as myths, ideas that have become so familiar that they cease to be recognized as constructions and appear innocent and natural. Exploring one such myth—the necessity of asserting “paternal power” over individuals deemed incapable of rational calculation—this dissertation demonstrates that the processes of political debate and law-making are also a complex “politics of signification” in which myths are continually being invoked, (re)produced, and (re)transmitted. The evolution of this myth is traced to the contemporary era and it is shown that recent attempts to criminalize, decriminalize, and legalize marijuana are indices of a process of juridification that is entrenching legal regulation into increasingly new areas of Canadian life in order to assert greater control over the consumption of marijuana and, importantly, over the risks that this activity has been semiologically associated with.

    Neoliberal Heritage Redress at a Time When Global Financial Regulation and the Partial Nationalization of Industries Are Mainstr

    Matt James Neoliberal Heritage Redress At a time when global financial regulation and the partial nationalization of industries are mainstream items of political discussion, using the word “neoliberal” in a chapter title suddenly feels anachronistic. Discussing the topic fifteen years after the appearance of pioneering works such as political scientist Stephen Gill’s “Disciplinary Neoliberalism” might seem superfluous in any event.1 Yet when it comes to the subject of this collection and chapter, Canadian redress politics and the broader arena of diversity politics in which it is situated, it remains illuminating to speak of neoliberalism in the present tense: or, at least, so this chapter will argue. The chapter proceeds as follows. Stressing neoliberalism’s concern to remake the conditions under which organized groups communicate with government and society, I outline how this concern has reshaped Canadian multiculturalism. Although astute criticisms of Canada’s multiculturalism policy abound, the policy’s importance for groups challenging the terms of belonging within the Canadian settler society ought equally to be noted; this role has made multiculturalism a particularly important target of neoliberal change in this 2 country.2 While the profile of Canadian multiculturalism has diminished in recent years, the debates around coming to terms with historical injustice have not. In the remainder of the essay, I show how the characteristic tactics and tools of a neoliberalized multiculturalism have latterly been transported and applied

    Computational Identification of Ideology In

    Computational Identification of Ideology in Text: A Study of Canadian Parliamentary Debates Yaroslav Riabinin Dept. of Computer Science, University of Toronto, Toronto, ON M5S 3G4, Canada February 23, 2009 In this study, we explore the task of classifying members of the 36th Cana- dian Parliament by ideology, which we approximate using party mem- bership. Earlier work has been done on data from the U.S. Congress by applying a popular supervised learning algorithm (Support Vector Ma- chines) to classify Senatorial speech, but the results were mediocre unless certain limiting assumptions were made. We adopt a similar approach and achieve good accuracy — up to 98% — without making the same as- sumptions. Our findings show that it is possible to use a bag-of-words model to distinguish members of opposing ideological classes based on English transcripts of their debates in the Canadian House of Commons. 1 Introduction Internet technology has empowered users to publish their own material on the web, allowing them to make the transition from readers to authors. For example, people are becoming increasingly accustomed to voicing their opinions regarding various prod- ucts and services on websites like Epinions.com and Amazon.com. Moreover, other users appear to be searching for these reviews and incorporating the information they acquire into their decision-making process during a purchase. This indicates that mod- 1 ern consumers are interested in more than just the facts — they want to know how other customers feel about the product, which is something that companies and manu- facturers cannot, or will not, provide on their own.

    Kagetsu 2017 book.qxp_Kagetsu cover 2017-11-03 2:29 PM Page 1 TADASHI JACK KAGETSU e Tree Trunk Can Be My Pillow The Biography of an Outstanding Japanese Canadian TADASHI JACK KAGETSU Author Tadashi Jack Kagetsu (1931–2006) was the youngest son of the “outstanding Japanese Canadian” and prominent Nikkei timber industrialist Eikichi Kagetsu. In e Tree Trunk Can Be My Pillow My Be Can Trunk Tree e Pillow, Jack details the fascinating life and accomplishments of his father, and he follows the Kagetsu family across oceans and continents, telling a uniquely Japanese Canadian story of economic success and sudden dispossession. Jack Kagetsu was a highly talented individual. He received his PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Toronto in 1957. He went on to an accomplished career in the United States with the Union Carbide Corporation, where he received two patents for technical innovation. He was also a chess master—as a university student, he defeated a Russian grandmaster as well as a US and former world champion. e Tree Trunk Can Be My Pillow is the result of over ten years of research that took Jack across North America, from New York to Virginia, Ontario to British Columbia, on a mission to reconstruct his family history. It is the culmination of Jack’s quest to reclaim lost years, lost knowledge, lost geographies, and lost memories. Published over ten years aer his death, this book tells the remarkable story of Jack’s famous father, and it is an important text for anyone interested in Japanese Canadian history.
