Statement on Canadian Foreign Policy in the 1980S
Group of 78: Statement on Canadian Foreign Policy in the 1980s Reprinted from the Bulletin of the United Nations Association, February 1982. During the last few months, a group of Canadians with a special concern for Canada's role in the global community consulted together and arrived at certain conclusions which are detailed in the statement below. The group, consisting of 78 Canadians, are known informally as the "Group of 78" - an idea borrowed from the Group of 77 original lesser developed countries which banded together at the UN to work toward common goals. The statement of the Group of 78 - for which the prime mover has been Andrew Brewin, former NDP MP for Toronto Greenwood - follows: The basic priorities of Canada's foreign policy should be threefold: 1. Removal of the threat of nuclear war, the greatest danger facing mankind today; 2. the strengthening of the United Nations and other global institutions designed to bring about a pacific settlement of disputes, foster international cooperation, promote the growth of world law and the protection of basic human rights; 3. the mobilization of world resources to achieve a more equitable international order and bring an end to the crushing poverty which is the common lot of the majority of the Third World These objectives require a new emphasis in our foreign policy based on the recognition that national security depends on an international effort to maintain an equitable and stable international order. Canada should incorporate in its foreign policy the principal objectives set forth in the Final Document of the 1978 UN Special Session on Disarmament, and take an active part in the preparation for the Second Special Session in 1982. -

Generations and the Transformation of Social Movements in Postwar Canada DOMINIQUE CLE´ MENT* Historians, particularly in Canada, have yet to make a significant contribution to the study of contemporary social movements. State funding, ideological conflict, and demographic change had a critical impact on social movements in Canada in the 1960s and 1970s, as this case study of the Ligue des droits de l’homme (Montreal) shows. These developments distinguished the first (1930s–1950s) from the second (1960s–1980s) generation of rights associations in Canada. Generational change was especially pronounced within the Ligue. The demographic wave led by the baby boomers and the social, economic, and political contexts of the period had a profound impact on social movements, extending from the first- and second-generation rights associations to the larger context including movements led by women, Aboriginals, gays and lesbians, African Canadians, the New Left, and others. Les historiens, en particulier au Canada, ont peu contribue´ a` ce jour a` l’e´tude des mouvements sociaux contemporains. Le financement par l’E´ tat, les conflits ide´olo- giques et les changements de´mographiques ont eu un impact de´cisif sur les mouve- ments sociaux au Canada lors des anne´es 1960 et 1970, comme le montre la pre´sente e´tude de cas sur la Ligue des droits de l’homme (Montre´al). Ces de´veloppements ont distingue´ les associations de de´fense des droits de la premie`re ge´ne´ration (anne´es 1930 aux anne´es 1950) de ceux de la deuxie`me ge´ne´ration (anne´es 1960 aux anne´es 1980) au Canada. -

The Formation of the Canadian Industrial
THE FORMATION OF THE CANADIAN INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS SYSTEM DURING WORLD WAR TWO Laurel Sefton MacDowell University of Toronto I The war years were a period of antagonistic labour-government rela tions and serious industrial unrest, which labour attributed to wage con trols, the failure of the government to consult on policies which directly affected employees, and the inadequacy of the existing collective bargain ing legislation. As a result, trade unions organized aggressively in the new war industries, struck with increasing frequency, and eventually became involved in direct political activity. At the centre of this conflict was the demand for collective bargaining. Collective bargaining was not just a means of raising wages and improving working conditions. It was a de mand by organized workers for a new status, and the right to participate in decision making both in industry and government. Thus, it became an issue not only on the shop floor where employers and unions met directly, but also in the political arena.1 Eventually this demand for a new status in society, was met by the introduction of a new legislative framework for collective bargaining which has been modified only slightly since that time. Yet in order to appreciate the evolution of this policy it is insuffi cient to consider simply the political debate or the crises which precipi tated the change. Even the important strikes which crystallized labour's discontent and prompted specific concessions, took place within the spe cial context of the war economy and a general realignment of industrial and political forces. Over a period of years, the economic tensions as sociated with the war generated pressures for reform which could not be contained. -

For more information, please contact [email protected]. i Abstract The Sixties were time of conflict and change in Canada and beyond. Radical social movements and countercultures challenged the conservatism of the preceding decade, rejected traditional forms of politics, and demanded an alternative based on the principles of social justice, individual freedom and an end to oppression on all fronts. Yet in Canada a unique political movement emerged which embraced these principles but proposed that New Left social movements – the student and anti-war movements, the women’s liberation movement and Canadian nationalists – could bring about radical political change not only through street protests and sit-ins, but also through participation in electoral politics. -

Charles Millard, a Canadian in the International Labour Movement: a Case Study of the ICFTU 1955-61
Charles Millard, A Canadian in the International Labour Movement: A Case Study of the ICFTU 1955-61 Anthony Carew Introduction THE WORLD FEDERATION of Trade Unions (WFTU), the global union organization formed in 1945 in an ambitious attempt to continue in peacetime the alliance that had developed in World War II between the labour movements of Britain, the USA, and the Soviet Union, split apart in 1949 under the pressure of big power politics. Different approaches to internal structural matters, as well as policies on Marshall Aid in the context of the deepening Cold War, caused most 'western' labour federations to withdraw and create in 1949 an avowedly non-communist rival body in the shape of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU). The project that this new International set itself was to stimulate trade union develop ment and cooperation around the world in a form that was 'free' from state control, with devolved regional structures designed to avoid the degree of administrative centralization that had been part of the WFTU. Within 5 years the ICFTU had secured the affiliation of 108 national trade union federations in 75 countries, representing in total 54 million members. On paper it was a powerful organization. However, within the ICFTU there was an imbalance of influence between affiliates from developed industrial countries and those from developing nations. 'On the formation of the ICFTU see Lewis L. Lorwin, The International Labour Movement (New York 1953) and John Windmuller, American Labour and the International Labour Movement (New York 1954). On the break-up of the WFTU see Anthony Carew, "The Schism Within the World Federation of Trade Unions: Government and Trade Union Diplomacy," International Review of Social History, 29 (1984), part 3 and Peter Weiler, "The United States, International Labour and the Cold War The Break-Up of the World Federation of Trade Unions," Diplomatic History, 5 (1981).
