Arming and Disarming: A History of Gun Control in Canada is the first comprehensive history of the subject, and we are delighted to be the publishers of what will be the standard work. Professor R. Blake Brown’s account of both gun use and its regulation from the early per- iods of European settlement to the controversy over the gun registry tells us a complex and at times contradictory story. Gun control is far from merely a contemporary concern. At many times in our history Canadian governments have evinced concern about gun ownership and use. Yet that concern has often been about who should have access to what sorts of firearms, and the urge to regulate has been tempered by campaigns to encourage gun use as a manly pursuit useful for train- ing citizens to be well versed in the practice of using firearms. Can- adians’ own views of the subject have not been uniform, with marked differences between urban and rural dwellers and across regions. This book is thus a rich piece of social, cultural, political, and legal history. The purpose of the Osgoode Society for Canadian Legal History is to encourage research and writing in the history of Canadian law. The Society, which was incorporated in 1979 and is registered as a char- ity, was founded at the initiative of the Honourable R. Roy McMurtry, formerly attorney general for Ontario and chief justice of the province, (September 14, 2012 / 08:17:43) 78436-1b_Brown_4023_Text_p008.pdf .1 viii Foreword and officials of the Law Society of Upper Canada. The Society seeks to stimulate the study of legal history in Canada by supporting research- ers, collecting oral histories, and publishing volumes that contribute to legal-historical scholarship in Canada. It has published eighty-eight books on the courts, the judiciary, and the legal profession, as well as on the history of crime and punishment, women and law, law and economy, the legal treatment of ethnic minorities, and famous cases and significant trials in all areas of the law. Current directors of the Osgoode Society for Canadian Legal History are Robert Armstrong, Kenneth Binks, Susan Binnie, David Chernos, Thomas G. Conway, J. Douglas Ewart, Violet French, Martin Fried- land, John Gerretsen, Philip Girard, William Kaplan, Horace Krever, C. Ian Kyer, Virginia MacLean, Patricia McMahon, R.

Roy McMurtry President Jim Phillips Editor-in-Chief (September 14, 2012 / 08:17:44) 78436-1b_Brown_4023_Text_p009.pdf .1 Acknowledgments This book, like all others, has resulted from the skill, hard work, and insight of many people. The editor-in-chief of the Osgoode Society for Canadian Legal His- tory, Jim Phillips, backed this project from its inception and offered extremely valuable advice on its themes, structure, and content. Mari- lyn MacFarlane handled all of the administrative issues that arose. The talented staff of the University of Toronto Press greatly improved the manuscript. Special thanks to Len Husband and Wayne Herrington at the Press, and copy editor Ian MacKenzie. Sandra Barry assisted in the preparation of the index. Several people commented on the manuscript, or parts thereof. The blind reviewers enlisted by the Osgoode Society asked many pen- etrating questions. Donald Fyson read a version of chapter 1, and Bill MacFarlane offered a gun-owner’s take. In addition, undergraduate students in my 2011 seminar class at Saint Mary’s University, “Guns, Violence, and the Law,” offered comments on several chapters. Funding support from several organizations allowed for the timely completion of this book. The Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council provided a substantial grant. The Foundation for Educational Exchange between Canada and the United States of America (Fulbright Canada) awarded me a Visiting Research Chair at Vanderbilt Univer- sity in 2008. Fulbright granted extra travel funds to locate a place for my family to stay in Nashville. Joel Harrington, Vanderbilt’s assistant (September 14, 2012 / 08:17:45) 78436-1b_Brown_4023_Text_p010.pdf .1 x Acknowledgments provost for international affairs, quickly solved every dilemma I faced in Nashville, from locating housing to solving emergency child care is- sues. Esther Enns, dean of the Faculty of Arts, and Kevin Vessey, dean of the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research at Saint Mary’s Uni- versity, proved strong supporters of this work. Saint Mary’s University awarded an Internal Research Grant for New Faculty and an Internal Research Grant for Established Faculty to complete parts of the neces- sary research. I also owe thanks to my colleagues in the Department of History who supported my request to take an unpaid leave of absence to take up the Fulbright chair. The research funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and Saint Mary’s allowed me to employ several re- search assistants without whose assistance this project would remain far from completed. Thanks to Saint Mary’s undergraduate students David Reynolds, Joana Galante, Angela Kinsman, Julie Reynolds, Lisa McNiven, Michael Hughes; Saint Mary’s graduate students Daryl Lee- worthy, Tammy Morgan, and Harris Ford; and law students from the Schulich School of Law at Dalhousie University: Jan Jensen, Kate Sal- danha, and Susanna Ashley.

  • By Anne Millar
    Wartime Training at Canadian Universities during the Second World War Anne Millar Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate of Philosophy degree in history Department of History Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Anne Millar, Ottawa, Canada, 2015 ii Abstract This dissertation provides an account of the contributions of Canadian universities to the Second World War. It examines the deliberations and negotiations of university, government, and military officials on how best to utilize and direct the resources of Canadian institutions of higher learning towards the prosecution of the war and postwar reconstruction. During the Second World War, university leaders worked with the Dominion Government and high-ranking military officials to establish comprehensive training programs on campuses across the country. These programs were designed to produce service personnel, provide skilled labour for essential war and civilian industries, impart specialized and technical knowledge to enlisted service members, and educate returning veterans. University administrators actively participated in the formation and expansion of these training initiatives and lobbied the government for adequate funding to ensure the success of their efforts. This study shows that university heads, deans, and prominent faculty members eagerly collaborated with both the government and the military to ensure that their institutions’ material and human resources were best directed in support of the war effort and that, in contrast to the First World War, skilled graduates would not be heedlessly wasted. At the center of these negotiations was the National Conference of Canadian Universities, a body consisting of heads of universities and colleges from across the country.

  • Myth Making, Juridification, and Parasitical Discourse: a Barthesian Semiotic Demystification of Canadian Political Discourse on Marijuana
    MYTH MAKING, JURIDIFICATION, AND PARASITICAL DISCOURSE: A BARTHESIAN SEMIOTIC DEMYSTIFICATION OF CANADIAN POLITICAL DISCOURSE ON MARIJUANA DANIEL PIERRE-CHARLES CRÉPAULT Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctorate in Philosophy degree in Criminology Department of Criminology Faculty of Social Sciences University of Ottawa © Daniel Pierre-Charles Crépault, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 ABSTRACT The legalization of marijuana in Canada represents a significant change in the course of Canadian drug policy. Using a semiotic approach based on the work of Roland Barthes, this dissertation explores marijuana’s signification within the House of Commons and Senate debates between 1891 and 2018. When examined through this conceptual lens, the ongoing parliamentary debates about marijuana over the last 127 years are revealed to be rife with what Barthes referred to as myths, ideas that have become so familiar that they cease to be recognized as constructions and appear innocent and natural. Exploring one such myth—the necessity of asserting “paternal power” over individuals deemed incapable of rational calculation—this dissertation demonstrates that the processes of political debate and law-making are also a complex “politics of signification” in which myths are continually being invoked, (re)produced, and (re)transmitted. The evolution of this myth is traced to the contemporary era and it is shown that recent attempts to criminalize, decriminalize, and legalize marijuana are indices of a process of juridification that is entrenching legal regulation into increasingly new areas of Canadian life in order to assert greater control over the consumption of marijuana and, importantly, over the risks that this activity has been semiologically associated with.

  • L'absence De Généraux Canadiens-Français Combattants
    Où sont nos chefs? L’absence de généraux canadiens-français combattants durant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale (1939-1945). Par : Alexandre Sawyer Thèse présentée à la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales À titre d’exigence partielle en vue de l’obtention d’un doctorat en histoire Université d’Ottawa © Alexandre Sawyer, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 ii RÉSUMÉ Le nombre d’officiers généraux canadiens-français qui ont commandé une brigade ou une division dans l’armée active durant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale est presque nul. On ne compte aucun commandant de division francophone dans l’armée outre-mer. Dans les trois premières années de la guerre, seulement deux brigadiers canadiens-français prennent le commandement de brigades à l’entrainement en Grande-Bretagne, mais sont rapidement renvoyés chez eux. Entre 1943 et 1944, le nombre de commandants de brigade francophones passe de zéro à trois. L’absence de généraux canadiens-français combattants (à partir du grade de major-général) durant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale s’explique par plusieurs facteurs : le modèle britannique et l’unilinguisme anglais de la milice, puis de l’armée canadienne, mais aussi la tradition anti-impérialiste et, donc, souvent antimilitaire des Canadiens français. Au début de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, aucun officier canadien n’est réellement capable de commander une grande unité militaire. Mais, a-t-on vraiment le choix? Ces officiers sont les seuls dont dispose le Canada. Quand les troupes canadiennes sont engagées au combat au milieu de 1943, des officiers canadiens, plus jeunes et beaucoup mieux formés prennent la relève. À plus petite échelle, le même processus s’opère du côté francophone, mais plus maladroitement.
