Pearson is best known as a Canadian diplomat and author. The son of former Prime Minister of Canada Lester B. Pearson and Maryon Pearson, Pearson was educated at Trinity College School in Port Hope, Ontario, the University of Toronto, and the University of Oxford. Pearson joined the department of External Affairs in 1952. He held diplomatic appointments at the Canadian embassies in Paris (1953-1957) and Mexico City (1961-1964), and at the High Commission in New Delhi (1969-1972). From 1980 to 1983, he served as the Canadian Ambassador to the Soviet Union (Moscow). He was also Ambassador to Mongolia from 1980 to 1983. In late 1983, Pearson was appointed as a special representative to then Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau for arms control, and in 1984 he was seconded to the Canadian Institute of International Affairs. In January 1985 he was appointed as the first executive director of the Canadian Institute for International Peace and Security, where he served for four years. In 1993, his book "Seize the Day" was published, chronicling his father's (Lester B. Pearson) diplomatic legacy. Pearson was a past president of the United Nations Association in Canada. In 2000, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada and in 2001 he wrote his memoirs entitled Anecdotage. Pearson died in Ottawa, Ontario on March 18th, 2008.

  • The Defence Research Board of Canada, 1947 to 1977
    The Defence Research Board of Canada, 1947 to 1977 by Jonathan Turner A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology University of Toronto © Copyright by Jonathan Turner 2012 The Defence Research Board of Canada, 1947 to 1977 Jonathan Turner Doctor of Philosophy Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology University of Toronto 2012 Abstract The Defence Research Board of Canada existed from 1947 to 1977. It was created because of the successful contribution of scientific management and specific military technologies to victory in the Second World War, and it was dismantled during a period of review and renewal of the government’s science and defence policies. The demise of the Defence Research Board demonstrated the triumph of business and public administration models over scientific management in spite of the successful defence research program. Among the successful projects of the Defence Research Board were satellites, research rockets, hydrofoils, nylon pile clothing, the wind chill factor, the strategic distinction between first and second nuclear strikes, open heart surgery, and blast trials. The strengths of the Defence Research Board were the scientific management practices that united the four Chairmen (Omond Solandt, Hartley Zimmerman, Robert Uffen and Léon L’Heureux) and the bench scientists. Over the course of its existence the Defence Research Board was shaped by six chains of events. 1. Solandt’s ability to recruit veterans from 1947 to 1953, 2. The election of John Diefenbaker and the ensuing conflict between Diefenbaker and civil servants, particularly over nuclear weapons, which led to the Royal Commission on ii Government Organisation and a decade of review of national defence policy (including two White Papers, integration and unification, and the Management Review Group), 3.

    South Collegiate Alumni Association Fall 2020 Virtus Repulsae Nescia Sordidae A STORY GROWS WITH THE HELP OF A DUTCH CONNECTION by Connie (Woods) Weir (‘66) (Note: This article first appeared in the November issue of the Wortley Villager) It’s now more than three years since the SCAA published Knowing No Defeat, a memorial tribute to the 57 alumni who lost their lives in military service during World War II. Of the 300 copies printed, only a handful remain to be sold. As gratifying as this sales success is, the most rewarding result of our efforts has been in terms of the human responses, which we are still continuing to receive. On August 28th, I received an email fom Cathy Wood, Managing Editor of the Wortley Villager, after she saw a post on the Facebook Group “If You Grew Up In London, Ontario, You Will Remember When…”. This post, written by a young man in the Netherlands, Jesse Verkruyssen, began with “Hi Canadians! I have a question for you.” Having heard stories from his grandparents about how bad the war was, Jesse said he had “always wanted to somehow thank the men who fought for our freedom”, so decided to “adopt” two WW II war graves. One of the graves that Jesse assumed the care of belonged to Leonard Albert Stock, a 19-year-old Canadian soldier from London, who died in 1941 and was buried in Eindhoven Cemetery, near Woensel. Although he had access to Leonard’s war records, he had little information about Leonard’s family and wanted to learn more.

  • “A Challenge and a Danger” Canada and the Cuban Missile Crisis
    “A Challenge and A Danger” Canada and the Cuban Missile Crisis By Caralee Daigle Hau A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in History in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada December 2011 Copyright © Caralee Daigle Hau 2011 Abstract President John F. Kennedy’s announcement, on Monday 22 October 1962, that there were offensive missiles on the island of Cuba began the public phase of what would be remembered as the Cuban missile crisis. This Cold War crisis had ramifications in many other countries than just the Soviet Union and the United States. Due to the danger involved in this nuclear confrontation, the entire globe was threatened. If either side lost control of negotiations, an atomic war could have broken out which would have decimated the planet. As the direct northern neighbors of the United States and partners in continental defence, Canadians experienced and understood the Cuban missile crisis in the context of larger issues. In many ways, Canadian and American reactions to the crisis were similar. Many citizens stocked up their pantries, read the newspapers, protested, or worried that the politicians would make a mistake and set off a war. However, this dissertation argues that English Canadians experienced the crisis on another level as well. In public debate and print sources, many debated what the crisis meant for Canadian-Cuban relations, Canadian-American relations and Canada’s place in the world. Examining these print and archival sources, this dissertation analyzes the contour of public debate during the crisis, uniting that debate with the actions of politicians.

  • Mike Hears Voices: Voice of Women and Lester Pearson, 1960-1963 Candace Loewen
    Mike Hears Voices: Voice of Women and Lester Pearson, 1960-1963 Candace Loewen ABSTRACT Born of a sense of urgency and hope in Toronto in 1960, Voice of Women (VOW), a women's peace organization, quickly grew and gained renown as a national organization. A timely affiliation with Lester B. Pearson from 1960 to 1963 encouraged and boosted the organization in its early years. Less than one month after VOW was born, Pearson, the Leader of the Opposition, formally proposed that Canada not accept nuclear weapons. However, when Pearson changed his mind as Prime Minister in 1963 and allowed nuclear warheads for Bomarc missiles into Canada, VOW became disappointed with him and increasingly focussed on the international scene. Women's concern for a lasting universal peace has trans• in mid-1963 VOW rekindled its original zeal for international cended borders of countries and policies of governments.1 In peace after a brief but deep immersion into Canadian politics. the early 1960s a Canadian women's peace organization had hopes of helping to establish universal peace in the tense Cold VOW developed out of a collective fear for the future of the War era.
