  • War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada's Military, 1952-1992 by Mallory
    War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada’s Military, 19521992 by Mallory Schwartz Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in History Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Mallory Schwartz, Ottawa, Canada, 2014 ii Abstract War on the Air: CBC-TV and Canada‘s Military, 19521992 Author: Mallory Schwartz Supervisor: Jeffrey A. Keshen From the earliest days of English-language Canadian Broadcasting Corporation television (CBC-TV), the military has been regularly featured on the news, public affairs, documentary, and drama programs. Little has been done to study these programs, despite calls for more research and many decades of work on the methods for the historical analysis of television. In addressing this gap, this thesis explores: how media representations of the military on CBC-TV (commemorative, history, public affairs and news programs) changed over time; what accounted for those changes; what they revealed about CBC-TV; and what they suggested about the way the military and its relationship with CBC-TV evolved. Through a material culture analysis of 245 programs/series about the Canadian military, veterans and defence issues that aired on CBC-TV over a 40-year period, beginning with its establishment in 1952, this thesis argues that the conditions surrounding each production were affected by a variety of factors, namely: (1) technology; (2) foreign broadcasters; (3) foreign sources of news; (4) the influence

Department of Political Science The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 Date September 5» 1978 i i ABSTRACT The .study, focuses on shadow cabinet organization, the practice; of appointing members to shadow the activities of cabinet ministers by Opposition parties. This practice is analyzed in Canada between 1963 and 1978, a period of continual Progressive Conservative Opposition. The under• lying question is whether shadow cabinet organization has become more or less institutionalized during the period. In the introduction Samuel Huntington's four tests of institutionalization are outlined. They were used in assessing Canadian shadow cabinet institutionalization. To operationalize the tests for this study it proved use• ful to analyze the institution of the Canadian cabinet system along these dimensions.

  • M. Beck the ELECTION of 1963 and NATIONAL UNITY
    ]. M. Beck THE ELECTION OF 1963 AND NATIONAL UNITY REcENTLY I HAVE POINTED ouT the comparative ease with which consensus and conflict have been kept in balance by the Canadian electoral system despite the wide divers­ ity of views within the country.1 Twice before 1962-in 1925 and 1957-elections had been indecisive, but in each instance another election within a year had given one party an overall majority. The elections of 1962 and 1963, in failing to produce a similar result, were therefore unique. In 1962 the Liberals increased their share of the popular vote over that of 1958 in every province except Quebec; in 1963 they improved their position still further in all ten provinces. But these additions of public support occurred after their calamitous defeat of 1958 and proved insufficient to give them a clear-cut victory. Indeed, the electorate showed an unmistakable reluctance to entrust them with the reins of office. In Newfoundland alone did they get the support of more than half the voters in 1963; in Manitoba and British Columbia it was barely a third, in Saskatchewan and Alberta less than a quarter. Even in defeat the Progressive Conservatives polled more than half the vote in two provinces, in­ creased their share of the popular vote in four provinces, and secured more votes than the Liberals in five provinces and the Yukon and Northwest Territories (see accompanying tables). To all appearances the principal changes in party support since 1958 have been due more to the increasingly unattractive image created by the Conservative party and its leader than to the enthusiastic acceptance of the Liberals and their leader.

  • Football, Nationalism, and Protectionism: the Federal Defence of the Canadian Football League
    Football, Nationalism, and Protectionism: The Federal Defence of the Canadian Football League by John Valentine A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Canadian Studies Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2016 John Valentine ii Abstract In 1974, Canada’s Liberal minority government acted to protect the Canadian Football League (CFL) from competition by introducing Bill C-22, which promised harsh penalties for anyone operating a football franchise connected to a foreign-based league or team. This legislation was the culmination of a series of measures by which the government had protected the CFL in the early 1960s and 1970s. A number of factors combined to prompt government involvement. From its earliest days, Canadian football was a nationalist concern. The desire to create a distinctly Canadian pastime led early organizers to differentiate it from English rugby and American football by developing and defending distinctive rules for the game. Football associations developed as domestic rather than cross-border organizations, fostering a congruence of the national territory and the Canadian version of the game. The organizational structure of Canadian football reinforced the east-west axis of transcontinental transportation and communications infrastructure fostered by the state since Confederation. Team and regional rivalries became a staple of print and radio news and commentary, integrating football into the national discourse. Following the Second World War, the identification of Canadian football with the Canadian nation intensified as televised games provided fans with more shared experiences of the only Canadian sports league.

  • 88 CONSTITUTION and GOVERNMENT the Privy Council
    88 CONSTITUTION AND GOVERNMENT The Privy Council.—The British North America Act of 1867 (Sect. 11) provides for "a Council to aid and advise in the Government of Canada, to be styled the Queen's Privy Council for Canada " At present it consists of about 115 members sworn of the Council by the Governor General on the advice of the Prime Minister. Membership in the Privy Council is for life so that Privy Councillors include both former and present Ministers of the Crown as well as a number of persons who have been, from time to time as an honour, sworn as Privy Councillors; these include members of the Royal Family, past and present Commonwealth Prime Ministers, and former Speakers of the Senate and of the House of Commons of Canada. The Council seldom meets as a body and its consti­ tutional responsibilities as adviser to the Crown in respect to Canada are performed exclusively by a Committee; the membership thereof, with a few historical exceptions, is identical to that of the Cabinet of the Day. A clear distinction between the functions of the Committee of the Privy Council and the Cabinet is rarely made and actually the terms "Council" and "Cabinet" are commonly employed as synonyms. 5.—Members of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada According to Seniority Therein, as at Oct. 1,1966 President of the Privy Council Hon. GUY FAVREAU Clerk of the Privy Council and Secretary to the Cabinet R. G. ROBERTSON NOTE.—In this list the prefix "Rt. Hon." indicates membership in the British Privy Council.
