    MARCEL CADIEUX, the DEPARTMENT of EXTERNAL AFFAIRS, and CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: 1941-1970 by Brendan Kelly A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Brendan Kelly 2016 ii Marcel Cadieux, the Department of External Affairs, and Canadian International Relations: 1941-1970 Brendan Kelly Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2016 Abstract Between 1941 and 1970, Marcel Cadieux (1915-1981) was one of the most important diplomats to serve in the Canadian Department of External Affairs (DEA). A lawyer by trade and Montreal working class by background, Cadieux held most of the important jobs in the department, from personnel officer to legal adviser to under-secretary. Influential as Cadieux’s career was in these years, it has never received a comprehensive treatment, despite the fact that his two most important predecessors as under-secretary, O.D. Skelton and Norman Robertson, have both been the subject of full-length studies. This omission is all the more glaring since an appraisal of Cadieux’s career from 1941 to 1970 sheds new light on the Canadian diplomatic profession, on the DEA, and on some of the defining issues in post-war Canadian international relations, particularly the Canada-Quebec-France triangle of the 1960s. A staunch federalist, Cadieux believed that French Canadians could and should find a place in Ottawa and in the wider world beyond Quebec. This thesis examines Cadieux’s career and argues that it was defined by three key themes: his anti-communism, his French-Canadian nationalism, and his belief in his work as both a diplomat and a civil servant.

It was extra painful for me having to self-isolate this week preventing me from attending with you at the PNE grounds. Though I must say the efforts of the Association and the Regimental wreath parties at key locations has still allowed for us to feel connected on this day. The remembrance at the 29th Battalion CEF Monument at the PNE was very well done and attended by over 75 BCR soldiers online. Please pass on my kudos to all those involved in putting this together. The Wait for me Daddy wreath laying party was befitting for such a special and dear monument to our Regiment.

  • ''Six Mois A` Hanoi'': Marcel Cadieux, Canada, and The
    BRENDAN KELLY ‘‘Six mois a` Hanoi’’: Marcel Cadieux, Canada, and the International Commission for Supervision and Control in Vietnam, 1954–5 Abstract: Drawing on an unpublished memoir by Marcel Cadieux entitled ‘‘Six mois a` Hanoi,’’ this article offers the first biographical study of a Canadian diplomat to serve on the International Commission for Supervision and Control in Vietnam. It argues that Cadieux’s pioneering experience on that commission during its first months in 1954–5 shaped his pro-American views on the Vietnam War as under- secretary of state for external affairs between 1964 and 1970. It also uses Cadieux’s tenure in Hanoi as a lens through which to explore larger issues of both long-standing and more recent interest to Canadian international historians, including the bureaucratic culture of the Department of External Affairs, Canadian diplomacy’s relationship with the decolonizing countries of the Third World, and the role of race, culture, religion, and anti-communism in the making of Canadian foreign policy. Keywords: Marcel Cadieux, biography, Canada, Vietnam, diplomacy, Interna- tional Commission for Supervision and Control, Department of External Affairs, Cold War, Vietnam War, Third World, decolonization, communism, race, culture, religion Re´sume´ : S’appuyant sur un me´moire ine´dit de Marcel Cadieux intitule´ « Six mois a` Hanoi », l’auteur pre´sente la premie`re e´tude biographique d’un diplomate canadien ayant sie´ge´ a` la Commission internationale pour la surveillance et le controˆle au Vieˆt- Nam. Selon lui, l’expe´rience pionnie`re de Cadieux durant les premiers mois d’existence de cette commission, en 1954-1955, a fac¸onne´ ses opinions proame´ricaines au sujet de la guerre du Vieˆt-Nam alors qu’il e´tait sous-secre´taire d’E´tat aux Affaires exte´rieures, de 1964 a` 1970.

Canada (Attorney General), more commonly known as The Persons Case. The Persons Case honors the five Alberta women, known as The Famous Five, that later lead to the victory of Canadian women’s equality which gives women the right to be appointed to the Senate of Canada and paved the way for women’s increased participation in public and political life. Those five women were Emily Murphy, Nellie McClung, Irene Parlby, Louise McKinney and Henrietta Muir Edward. In 1927 these five women went to the Supreme Court of Canada to get an answer as to why women were not included in the word person according to the British North American Act. The debate took over five weeks and the court ruled that women would not be included in the word person. Two years later, after the women took the case to London, to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council of Great Britain, Canada’s highest court of appeal, the question was answered “why should it not?”, a decision which not only helped women have a place in the senate but also gave women more rights and equality.

  • The Work of the Subcommittee on the Post-War Problems of Women, 1943*
    "Pigeon-Holed and Forgotten": The Work of the Subcommittee on the Post-War Problems of Women, 1943* By Gail CUTHBERT BRANDT** In January 1943, a special subcommittee of the federally appointed Advisory Committee on Reconstruction was created to enquire into the difficulties likely to confront Canadian women once peace was concluded. This Subcommittee on the Post-War Problems of Women, composed of ten prominent Canadian women, presented its final report to Cabinet on 30 November 1943. It contained many proposals for improving the status of Canadian women; however, the impact of its work was weakened by its class bias, un­ realistic time limits, the complicated nature of the reconstruction bureaucracy, and the lack of significant change in public attitudes toward women's role. Afin d' etudier les difficultes que devraient sans doute affronter les Canadiennes au lendemain des hostilites, on crea en janvier 1943 un sous-comite special du Comite con­ sultatif de Ia reconstruction sociale mis sur pied par les autorites jederales. Ce sous-comite, qui comprenait dix Canadiennes jouissant d'une grande reputation, soumit son rapport final au cabinet le 30 novembre 1943. On y trouve maintes suggestions visant a ameliorer le statut de Ia femme, qui se heurterent cependant aux prejuges sociaux, a des obstacles bureaucratiques eta l'inertie de /'opinion publique a l'endroit de Ia condition feminine. By 1941, the nation was as preoccupied with the implications of peace as it was with the exigencies of war. Reconstruction - that resound­ ing phrase encompassing Canadians' aspirations for an improved society after World War I - was once again a national byword; authors expounded on it, politicians promised it, and most Canadians waited impatiently for it.
