The Fulton Bill and the Campaign to Censor “Crime and Horror Comics” in Cold War Canada, 1945-1955 Examining Committee: Chair: Roxanne Panchasi Associate Professor Allen Seager Senior Supervisor Associate Professor Lara Campbell Supervisor Professor, Department of Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies John Herd Thompson External Examiner Professor Emeritus Department of History Duke University Date Defended/Approved: December 15, 2015 ii Abstract This thesis examines the history of and the social, political, intellectual, and cross-border influences behind the “Fulton Bill” and the campaign to censor “crime and horror comics” in Canada from roughly 1945 to 1955. Many – though by no means all – Canadians had grown to believe reading comic books was directly linked with a perceived increase in rates of juvenile criminal behaviour. Led primarily by PTA activists and other civic organizations, the campaign was motivated by a desire to protect the nation’s young people from potential corrupting influences that might lead them to delinquency and deviancy and resulted in amendments to the Criminal Code passed by Parliament in 1949. These amendments criminalized so-called “crime comics” and were thanks to a bill introduced and championed by E.

During what the present thesis calls the “crisis of Britishness” from 1964 to 1968, the British character of Canada was redefined and Britishness portrayed as something foreign or “other.” This post-British conception of Canada has been buttressed by historians depicting the British connection as a colonial hangover, an externally-derived, narrowly ethnic, nostalgic, or retardant force. However, Britishness, as a unique amalgam of hybrid identities in the Canadian context, in fact took on new and multiple meanings.

    HP Sauce and the Hate Literature of Pop Art: bill bissett in the House of Commons Ryan J.

Robert Wenman, MP Fraser Valley West (PC), 13 December 1977 they got a sause calld houses uv parliament for meat at th tabul hp sause it sure tastes shitty too bill bissett “in nova scotia th peopul call shit houses housus uv parliament” aken at face value, the bissett affair of 1977–78 seems rather mun- Tdane, hardly worth noticing. A group of mostly opposition mps, headed by Bob Wenman, the Tory member for Fraser Valley West, attempted to take the government to task for, in their eyes, the fiscal irresponsibility of the Canada Council for the Arts, a semi-autonomous Crown corporation. This irresponsibility was evident in the fact that Canada Council was fund- ing “what anyone in [parliament] would term as offensive and demeaning pornography” (Canada 1845) and, as Hugh Anderson, the Parliamentary ESC 37.3–4 (September/December 2011): 147–161 Secretary to the Minister of Fisheries, put it, “a degradation to the printed word in Canada” (Canada 4084). It had the potential for great political the- atre, linking as it did excessive government spending and morality—Jake Ryan J.

  • Lessons in Womanhood: Education at the Prison for Women, 1934-1965
    Lessons in Womanhood: Education at the Prison for Women, 1934-1965 By Katie-Marie McNeill A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in Education in conformity with the degree requirements for the Degree of Master of Education Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada August, 2017 Copyright © Katie-Marie McNeill, 2017 Lessons in Womanhood i Abstract The Prison for Women (P4W) in Kingston, Ontario was the sole federal prison for Canadian women throughout the majority of the twentieth century. As such, studying P4W represents a comprehensive study of Canadian women’s incarceration, which is unique in Canadian prison history in comparison to men’s institutions. This thesis explores the educational history of P4W from 1934-1965 to examine what opportunities were afforded to incarcerated women and to reveal the intentions of the Penitentiary Service in their provision of education. This thesis argues that education at P4W intended to reform incarcerated women into models of respectable womanhood. This project relies on archival documents from the Correctional Service of Canada fonds at Library and Archives Canada, files from the Public Safety Library Archives, the Isabel J. Macneill fonds from the Nova Scotia Archives, and prisoner press publications. To frame this research, this thesis takes a blended functionalist and narrative approach to legal history to underscore that the development of education in P4W followed the development of education in Ontario, and that narratives are required to appreciate P4W’s gendered educational history. P4W’s education is contextualized by Chapter One, which provides an overview of imprisonment in English Canadian history. To further deepen analysis, education has been separated and organized into three categories: academic, vocational, and recreational.

Later that year Fulton emigrated to Canada, landing in Toronto and spending a short period articling for the law firm of Thom Colhoun Haslett in Hamilton, Ontario before moving west and arriving in Vancouver in August. Fulton was offered an overseeing role at the firm of W.W. Spinks in Kamloops and moved there in October. The following year he was admitted as a solicitor, and quickly rose in legal esteem in the province, being appointed an official administrator and Judge of the Court of Revision for Yale District in 1891 and being called as a barrister in 1892. In 1900 Fulton entered politics and was elected as a Conservative Member of Parliament for the district of Yale North. 1901 would see him appointed to the Queen's Council, and he would be successful in his bid for re-election as an MP for Kamloops in 1903 as well as being appointed president of the Provincial Cabinet Council.
