ABSTRACT This study was an effort to describe and understand the communication function of the Royal Commission of Inquiry in the Somalia Affair in Canada. A major political scandal in Canada, the Somalia Affair was initially marked by the torture and death of a Somalia man at the hands of a Canadian soldier while on a peace enforcement mission in Somalia in 1993 and resulted in a great deal of media attention as well as the general public reproach of Canadians. After first providing an overview of Royal Commissions of Inquiry, as well as the historical and social context of the Somalia Affair within Canada, this dissertation argues that this political scandal shook the nation, in part, because it marked a moment of moral dissonance in Canada. That is, the Somalia Affair presented serious incongruities between commonly espoused Canadian values– such as peacekeeping, multiculturalism and transparency/accountability – and the actions that the Canadian soldiers undertook in Somalia. I connect the issue of moral dissonance to the commission in an attempt to answer why the commission was used in response to the moral dissonance caused by the Somalia Affair. Utilizing an in-depth case study approach to the Somalia Affair, I undertake discourse analysis on the approximately 50,000 pages of primary documentary sources from the commission as well as on the media coverage of the affair. Ultimately, I find that the commission is an appropriate space to deal with the moral dissonance that the Somalia Affair posed for two main reasons. Firstly, because it offers a space to debate, define and potentially reassert the morals that were originally transgressed. Secondly, the commission’s reliance on process and procedure works to institutionalize, rationalize and legitimize those morals that were transgressed as well as display that the ii political system itself operates effectively. In all, I argue that it is these two communication features of the commission – as a space for moral discourse to occur within a heavily formal and procedural process – that make the commission an appropriate discursive place to respond to the moral dissonance that occurs in a political scandal like the Somalia Affair. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A project such as this depends on the support and guidance of a number of people who I would like to acknowledge with deep gratitude. Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisor, Michael Keren, for his unfailing intellectual guidance and overall mentorship in this process. His continued support and enthusiasm for this project, in addition to his much-appreciated sense of humour and friendliness along the way, has truly made this experience a positive one. He has been a remarkable supervisor and for this, I am deeply indebted. I would also like to thank the members of my thesis committee. David Mitchell’s keen intellect and ability to clearly demarcate issues and challenges in this project along the way has been truly helpful. In his role as Graduate Dean in the faculty as well, I am thankful for his support and guidance throughout my graduate career at the University of Calgary. Barbara Schneider also deserves much gratitude. Beyond the much needed academic and intellectual guidance that she always freely gave, she has continuously offered me counsel, both as an individual and as an aspiring academic. Her emotional support and, I like to think, friendship, has gone above and beyond the requirements of a committee member or professor. For this I am truly grateful. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the various committee members and readers that have participated in this process such as John Ferris and Liza McCoy, who were both exceptionally helpful with the candidacy process, and David iv Schniederman’s and David Bercuson’s expertise and insight in the dissertation defence was extremely helpful. The wonderful faculty and staff members that I have had the privilege to work alongside at the University of Calgary will be remembered for some time to come, and my gratitude extends to too many people to mention here. However, there are a few that I would like to personally thank. Both David Taras and Maria Barkardijieva, in particular, have indelibly left their mark, as both inspirations as academics and professors, but perhaps more importantly, as two extraordinary individuals. My work with both of them and their different research and community interests has certainly helped to further create the model of the kind of scholar I can only hope to one day be. Likewise, staff members within the faculty, such as Janice Crawford, and recently, Megan Mitchell have always gone above and beyond the call of duty to help this perpetually detail-challenged individual and offered a smiling face while doing so. I would also like to especially thank Sylvia Mills, who helped in the most important possible way when needed, and of course, Marion Hillier, whose assistance and friendship I cherish. The many friendships with my PhD colleagues that I have cultivated throughout this process are also incredibly valued. Yen Ong, Amanda Williams, Delia Dumitrica, Sharon Mah, Sophie Wertheimer, Dawn Johnston and Lisa Stowe, are a few of the individuals whom I turned to time and time again to celebrate accomplishments, discuss ideas, console wounds and to enjoy life in general. This group of smart and strong women has continually inspired me to continue to reach. v I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my new colleagues at Huntington University/Laurentian University, whose support in the final year of this process has been much appreciated. The support from my parents along this journey has been second to none as well and I am grateful for this, but much more so, for the enduring love and support that they give consistently. They encourage me when I falter, and celebrate with me when I achieve. Likewise, my adopted family of Janet, Cleve and Tricia, has been another important source of love and support for which I am incredibly grateful. Finally, I would like to dedicate this work to the two most important people in my life. First, to my daughter Marin, who has been a part of this work, much more than she may ever realize. Her love and laughter continues to inspire me every day. And especially to my husband Tom. Words can’t express how you have touched my life, and my work. Your love and support throughout this process have been heroic, and I am overwhelmed. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract…………………………………………………………………….. ii Acknowledgements………………………………………………………… iv Table of Contents…………………………………………………………... vii List of Figures……………………………………………………………… x Epigraph……………………………………………………………............ xi CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION……………………………………… 1 CHAPTER TWO: ROYAL COMMISSIONS OF INQUIRY…………….. 13 Royal Commissions: An Overview………………………………… 14 History of Royal Commissions in Canada………………………… 16 A Typology of Royal Commissions………………………………… 19 Critiques of Royal Commissions…………………………………… 44 Importance and Significance of Royal Commissions……………… 47 CHAPTER THREE: THE SOMALIA AFFAIR…………………………... 50 The Setting…………………………………………………………. 51 Preparing for the Mission…………………………………………... 58 The Mission………………………………………………………… 61 The Somalia

  • Political Performance and the War on Terror
    The Shock and Awe of the Real: Political Performance and the War on Terror by Matthew Jones A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Matt Jones 2020 The Shock and Awe of the Real: Political Performance and the War on Terror Matt Jones Doctor of Philosophy Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies University of Toronto 2020 Abstract This dissertation offers a transnational study of theatre and performance that responded to the recent conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and beyond. Looking at work by artists primarily from Arab and Middle Eastern diasporas working in the US, UK, Canada, and Europe, the study examines how modes of performance in live art, documentary theatre, and participatory performance respond to and comment on the power imbalances, racial formations, and political injustices of these conflicts. Many of these performances are characterized by a deliberate blurring of the distinctions between performance and reality. This has meant that playwrights crafted scripts from the real words of soldiers instead of writing plays; performance artists harmed their real bodies, replicating the violence of war; actors performed in public space; and media artists used new technology to connect audiences to real warzones. This embrace of the real contrasts with postmodern suspicion of hyper-reality—which characterized much political performance in the 1990s—and marks a shift in understandings of the relationship between performance and the real. These strategies allowed artists to contend with the way that war today is also a multimedia attack on the way that reality is constructed and perceived.

  • John Boyle, Greg Curnoe and Joyce Wieland: Erotic Art and English Canadian Nationalism
    John Boyle, Greg Curnoe and Joyce Wieland: Erotic Art and English Canadian Nationalism by Matthew Purvis A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Cultural Mediations Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2020, Matthew Purvis i Abstract This dissertation concerns the relation between eroticism and nationalism in the work of a set of English Canadian artists in the mid-1960s-70s, namely John Boyle, Greg Curnoe, and Joyce Wieland. It contends that within their bodies of work there are ways of imagining nationalism and eroticism that are often formally or conceptually interrelated, either by strategy or figuration, and at times indistinguishable. This was evident in the content of their work, in the models that they established for interpreting it and present in more and less overt forms in some of the ways of imagining an English Canadian nationalism that surrounded them. The dissertation contextualizes the three artists in the terms of erotic art prevalent in the twentieth century and makes a case for them as part of a uniquely Canadian mode of decadence. Constructing my case largely from the published and unpublished writing of the three subjects and how these played against their reception, I have attempted to elaborate their artistic models and processes, as well as their understandings of eroticism and nationalism, situating them within the discourses on English Canadian nationalism and its potentially morbid prospects. Rather than treating this as a primarily cultural or socio-political issue, it is treated as both an epistemic and formal one.

  • Ministerial Staff: the Life and Times of Parliament’S Statutory Orphans
    MINISTERIAL STAFF: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF PARLIAMENT’S STATUTORY ORPHANS Liane E. Benoit Acknowledgements Much of the primary research in support of this paper was gathered through interviews with more than twenty former and current public servants, lobbyists, and ex-exempt staff. I am sincerely grateful to each of them for their time, their candour and their willingness to share with me the benefit of their experience and insights on this important subject. I would also like to acknowledge the generous assistance of Cathi Corbett,Chief Librarian at the Canada School of Public Service,without whose expertise my searching and sleuthing would have proven far more challenging. 145 146 VOLUME 1: PARLIAMENT,MINISTERS AND DEPUTY MINISTERS And lastly, my sincere thanks to C.E.S Franks, Professor Emeritus of the Department of Political Studies at Queen’s University, for his guidance and support throughout the development of this paper and his faith that, indeed, I would someday complete it. 1 Where to Start 1.1 Introduction Of the many footfalls heard echoing through Ottawa’s corridors of power, those that often hit hardest but bear the least scrutiny belong to an elite group of young, ambitious and politically loyal operatives hired to support and advise the Ministers of the Crown. Collectively known as “exempt staff,”1 recent investigations by the Public Accounts Committee and the Commission of Inquiry into the Sponsorship Program and Advertising Activities,hereafter referred to as the “Sponsorship Inquiry”, suggest that this group of ministerial advisors can, and often do, exert a substantial degree of influence on the development,and in some cases, administration, of public policy in Canada.

As Canadians collectively adapted to the postwar world, authorities urged them to create strong, united families as the foundation upon which the nation depended. An idealized vision of home and family domesticated and subordinated women, and served to entrench and consolidate the dominance of white, middle-class, heterosexual, and patriarchal values.

Can Med Assoc J 1998;158:244-5 ryden, Ont., is a long way from most everywhere, but it is light years away from Somalia. For Dr. Barry Armstrong, that is one of its main at- D tractions. Since becoming the only general surgeon in this northwestern Ontario town of about 6500 residents, Armstrong has dealt with everything from orthopedic problems to cesarean sections. The scope of surgical practice in the north was one of the things that drew him to Dryden, but it is the people who made the move irresistible. “Everyone has been very welcoming,” he said. “They’re an honest, kind people who really appreciate me and my work. It’s a nice change.” A nice change indeed. In 1993 Armstrong, than a major in the Canadian Forces, was sent to Somalia with the elite Canadian Airborne Regiment. The 900 troops were on a United Nations mission that was supposed to bring peace to a ravaged land. Not all members of the regiment embraced the peacekeeping ideal, however, and Barry Armstrong blew the whistle on them.

Hojo Code The Martello Papers This is the eighteenth in a series of security studies published over the past several years by the Queen’s University Centre for International Relations (QCIR), under the general title of the Martello Papers. “From Ottawa to Sarajevo” is a detailed, empirical examination of Canadian participation in UN peacekeeping efforts in the former Yugoslavia between 1992 and 1995, written by a US Air Force officer, Major Dawn Hewitt, who served as Visiting Defence Fellow at the Centre during the 1996-97 academic year. Peacekeeping, by all accounts, has become increasingly complex since the end- ing of the Cold War, and as Major Hewitt’s monograph reveals, nowhere have those complexities and frustrations been more apparent than in the former Yugo- slavia.
