Since first arriving in Montreal I have admired the excellent work of the United Irish Societies and have always been a supporter. When interviewed by the CBC as Grand Marshal in 2012 I said that the UIS reminded me of a beehive because everybody was so busy. Now as President I realise just how much work is being done by so many, all volunteers. The Executive Committee and all the members who volunteer put in countless hours of their personal time to make this organization function so well. This hard work, determination and commitment results in one of the largest St. Patrick’s Day Parades in the world. This provides a great experience for Montrealers and visitors alike.

    Donald C. Savage Keeping Professors Out: The Immigration Department and the Idea of Academic Freedom, 1945-90 Introduction: The Security System and Immigration What happened to professors who wanted to immigrate to Canada between 1945 and 1990 is a subset of the general history of the Cold War and its aftermath and how this intertwined with the developing idea of rights and freedoms for Canadians within a legal framework. It is also a segment of the history of the development of Canadian immigration policy after the Second World War. It is as well part of the history of academic freedom in Canada in that it reveals the views of successive federal governments concerning the entry of dissenting professors. This history suggests the power of the federal bureaucracy during the fifties and sixties both to get its own way and to insist on the secrecy which is essential to bureaucratic manoeuvring. Policy changed in the seventies, but for reasons that will be discussed, it is not clear whether that change is permanent. Professor Reg Whitaker has written of the development of Cana­ dian immigration policy in the period of the Cold War and has touched on some of the academic cases involved.' I have tried to amplify this account and to indicate how the circumstances changed over the past forty-five years. I have used the files of the Canadian Association of University Teachers.2 Some of the cases are public, but many did not become so. Where I have been able to trace the individuals and secure their permission, I use their names.

  • Vietnam Draft Resistance, the Canadian State, and Cold War Containment
    — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — An Ambiguous Welcome: Vietnam Draft Resistance, the Canadian State, and Cold War Containment DAVID S. CHURCHILL* A significant portion of the growth in American immigration to Canada from the mid- 1960s to the mid-1970s was a consequence of the Vietnam War. For the Canadian government, the appearance of large numbers of draft resisters at the border was a boon. Draft resisters, if not deserters, tended to be young, middle-class, and educated — the very type of immigrant the government wanted. Allowing entry to draft resisters also reaped an important symbolic benefit in that it allowed the Canadian govern- ment to demonstrate its independence from the United States and its opposition to the war. In practice, however, not all young Americans resisting militarism were wel- comed. Government officials argued contradictory interpretations of the policy on admitting draft resisters and deserters and their legal status in Canada. The Cold War and the increased domestic concerns generated by student and protest movements in the 1960s also solidified cooperation between the American and Canadian security states in maintaining a surveillance of draft resisters and deserters. La guerre du Vietnam explique en bonne partie l’augmentation du nombre d’immi- grants américains franchissant la frontière canadienne du milieu des années 1960 jusqu’au milieu de la décennie suivante. Le gouvernement canadien s’est alors réjoui de voir apparaître à ses portes de si nombreux dissidents. C’est que les réfractaires à la conscription (s’agissant parfois même de déserteurs) étaient généralement jeunes, de classe moyenne et instruits. Pour le gouvernement cana- dien, il s’agissait là de l’immigrant idéal.
