Dewar Journal of Canadian Studies/Revue d'études canadiennes, Volume 53, Number/numéro 1, Winter/hiver 2019, pp. 178-196 (Article) Published by University of Toronto Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/719555 Access provided by Mount Saint Vincent University (19 Mar 2019 13:29 GMT) Journal of Canadian Studies • Revue d’études canadiennes Liberalism, Social Democracy, and Tom Kent KENNETH C. DEWAR Abstract: This article argues that the lines separating different modes of thought on the centre-left of the political spectrum—liberalism, social democracy, and socialism, broadly speaking—are permeable, and that they share many features in common. The example of Tom Kent illustrates the argument. A leading adviser to Lester B. Pearson and the Liberal Party from the late 1950s to the early 1970s, Kent argued for expanding social security in a way that had a number of affinities with social democracy. In his paper for the Study Conference on National Problems in 1960, where he set out his philosophy of social security, and in his actions as an adviser to the Pearson government, he supported social assis- tance, universal contributory pensions, and national, comprehensive medical insurance. In close asso- ciation with his philosophy, he also believed that political parties were instruments of policy-making. Keywords: political ideas, Canada, twentieth century, liberalism, social democracy Résumé : Cet article soutient que les lignes séparant les différents modes de pensée du centre gauche de l’éventail politique — libéralisme, social-démocratie et socialisme, généralement parlant — sont perméables et qu’ils partagent de nombreuses caractéristiques.

Ainsi, ayant pris soin de noter quelques points intéressants, lors de votre 3e séance d’information, j’aimerais vous proposer un document de référence, que j’ai intitulé: “Points de repères sur la Russie, l’Ukraine et le Canada” afin de voir à l’amélioration de votre vision. Dans celui-ci, je vous livre une vision d’est en ouest de ce que fut le développement de l’Amérique, quels en fut ses fondements mêmes, en y intégrant l’histoire d’un autre peuple nordique, que nous retrouvons de l’autre côté de l’océan Pacifique, soit le continent des peuples slaves (la Russie, l’Ukraine, etc.). Le but de cet exercice étant de revivifier une fierté nordique que nous semblons avoir mise de côté. De par la vision que je vous propose, vous pourrez constater que les 2 continents ici présentés possèdent des histoires qui se chevauchent sur plusieurs points, nommons par exemple, la traite des fourrures, laquelle activité commerciale fut à la base même de la création du Canada. Nous pouvons ainsi voir que 2 compagnies majeures ont su s’élever, soit: la Hudson Bay Company (en 1668) au Canada et la Russian American Company (en 1779) en Russie. A cela, nous pouvons également parler de la création des 2 compagnies de chemins de fer nationaux, lesquelles furent le Canadien Pacifique (en 1881) au Canada, qui est devenu VIA Rail pour le transport des passagers, et le chemin de fer Transsibérien (en 1891) en Russie.
