In recognizing these series, the original order of the records has been respected. The great majority of this fonds is concerned with Sharp's political career and documents his involvement with the Liberal Party, his role as Member of Parliament and his tenure in some of the key cabinet positions during the 1960s and 1970s. No records were identified reflecting his activities as Minister of Finance. This fonds represents several accessions of documents which were placed on deposit with the National Archives. In 1986 and in 1999, Mr. Sharp officially gave these records to the Archives. Assorted photographs and maps were transferred to the Visual and Sound Archives. HON.

Although many officials in the Department of External Affairs believed that a continental free trade agreement was in Canada’s best interests, King confided to his diary that he could not let the negotiations go forward because a successful outcome would destroy the British Empire and Commonwealth: ‘I am sure in so doing, I have made one of the most important decisions for Canada, for the British Commonwealth of Nations that has been made at any time.’1 In October 1949, while being fêted in London, Prime Minister Sydney Holland of New Zealand, made one of his characteristic spontaneous and ill considered statements. He declared, ‘I want the people of Britain to know that we will send all the food that they need, even if we have to send it free’.2 These two stories tell historians a lot.

In that time frame, Canada’s China policy would undergo many different shifts. A close examination shows that these shifts were closely linked to the shifting attitudes of successive Canadian leaders. Four different prime ministers would serve in office during Canada’s recognition process, and the inauguration of each prime minister signaled a shift in Canada’s China policy. The issue of recognizing the People’s Republic of China was intertwined with several other issues that were important to Canada. Among these were the economic potential of China, Canada’s need for collective agreements to ensure its security, the desire of the United States to influence Canadian policy, and the desire of Canadian officials to demonstrate the independence of Canadian policy. Of the four prime ministers, three – Louis St.

  • Canada's Response to the 1968 Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia
    Canada’s Response to the 1968 Soviet Invasion of Czechoslovakia: An Assessment of the Trudeau Government’s First International Crisis by Angus McCabe A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2019 Angus McCabe ii Abstract The new government of Pierre Trudeau was faced with an international crisis when, on 20 August 1968, the Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia. This study is the first full account of the Canadian government’s response based on an examination of the archival records of the Departments of External Affairs, National Defence, Manpower and Immigration, and the Privy Council Office. Underlying the government’s reaction were differences of opinion about Canada’s approach to the Cold War, its role at the United Nations and in NATO, the utility of the Department of External Affairs, and decisions about refugees. There was a delusory quality to each of these perspectives. In the end, an inexperienced government failed to heed some of the more competent advice it received concerning how best to meet Canada’s interests during the crisis. National interest was an understandable objective, but in this case, it was pursued at Czechoslovakia’s expense. iii Acknowledgements As anyone in my position would attest, meaningful work with Professor Norman Hillmer brings with it the added gift of friendship. The quality of his teaching, mentorship, and advice is, I suspect, the stuff of ages. I am grateful for the privilege of his guidance and comradeship. Graduate Administrator Joan White works kindly and tirelessly behind the scenes of Carleton University’s Department of History.

Minister of Fisheries. HON. JOHN C. CROSBIE (Hon. Minister of Fisheries): Mr. Speaker, I think we should take note of the anniversary date today, this is the twenty-sixth anniversary of the Province's Confederation with Canada. Of course, last year was a special occasion on the twenty-fifth anniversary. But I do not think we should let the day go without officially noting that this is our twenty-sixth year of Confederation. And I am sure that all members of the House hope that we will have another good year this year as a part of the Canadian Confederation as we have had in increasing measure over the last twenty-five.

Actually, Your Honour, it is twenty-six years and one day today, because, as is well-known, Confederation did not come on this first day of April, but rather at one minute before midnight on March 31, 1949.

    uarterlyof Criticism and Review Summer 1995 mxl George Woodcock 1912-1995 G eorge Woodcock died at his home, late on a Saturday evening, January 28,1995. He was 82. The world lost an articulate social observer, a prodigious writer (the author of some 150 books), a historian and scriptwriter and biographer and poet. Canadian Literature lost its founding editor. I, and many others, lost a friend. Several of us gathered the next week for a private wake. We grieved, and told ourselves we were not grieving for this man but celebrating having had the opportunity to know him. We told stories, and recollected the person that we knew. George had become a public figure (he had five honorary degrees, and as recently as 1994 he had been feted with a sym- posium and a large civic reception); but we recalled the man who loved cats and mountain walks, the man who mixed the best martini we'd ever tasted, the witty teller of anecdotes, the eloquent conversationalist who could talk with equal ease about ancient cultures and historical figures, modern politics and contemporary art. His friend Tony Phillips read "Seeing Free," from his last book of poems, The Cherry Tree on Cherry Street: "Friends, do not weep for me!/ Keep your eyes clear and bold/ and let the wake go on/ and wake the night/ to see my spirit free." He had premonitions of death. But they did not slow him down; only his weakening heart did that. He still kept a journal, and sat long hours— he used to write all night, when the world was quiet—at a small portable Olympia typewriter, composing.

  • Shaping the Public Memory of Sir John A. Macdonald in Ontario and Quebec, 1891-1967
    The Old Chieftain’s New Image: Shaping the Public Memory of Sir John A. Macdonald in Ontario and Quebec, 1891-1967 by Yves Y. Pelletier 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 December 2010 Copyright © Yves Y. Pelletier, 2010 Abstract Sir John A. Macdonald has been a political figure frequently referenced in Canadian history. Yet no study has explored the evolution of his public memory. This study provides a focused examination of the attempts by Canada’s federal political parties to shape Macdonald’s public memory. The period of study began immediately following the death of Sir John A. Macdonald on June 6, 1891 and continued until the Centennial Celebrations of Confederation in 1967. The study first aims to identify and analyze events and activities organized or supported by Canada’s federal political class which provide opportunities to shape Macdonald’s public memory. The study then explores through the lens of official memory their motivation to engage in his commemoration and to shape his memory in specific ways. The objective of this study is to answer two specific research questions. The first asks if Canada’ federal political leaders were interested and successful in shaping Macdonald’s public memory during the period of study to allow the emergence of a seemingly national hegemonic figure acceptable to both political parties. The second asks if the federal political parties’ attempts to depict Macdonald as a unifying national symbol were picked up in the media in Ontario and Quebec and in both official languages, thereby reinforcing his hegemonic status for the federal political class.
