  • Postwar Foreign Policy in Canadian Federal Elections 1949-1957

    Postwar Foreign Policy in Canadian Federal Elections 1949-1957

    From Moderates to Mythmakers: Postwar Foreign Policy in Canadian Federal Elections 1949-1957 Kristopher Kinsinger 2 The popular narrative of a Canadian diplomatic golden age is one still evoked by politicians and pundits alike. Such a narrative recalls an era following the end of the Second World War when the country established itself as a helpful presence on the world stage, where, free of the confines of British imperialism, Canadian politicians and diplomats offered constructive foreign policies that fostered multilateral dialogue and promoted global peace.1 Or so the narrative goes. However, as numerous historians have argued, Canadian foreign policy in the postwar era, rather than punching above its weight, was continually beset by the need to defer to the policies of Canada’s North Atlantic allies, in particular that of the United States and Great Britain.2 In keeping with this theme, this paper focuses on the evolving role of foreign policy in the rhetoric of the Liberal Party, the Progressive Conservative Party and (to a lesser extent) the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation in the three federal elections held between 1949 and 1957. This analysis confirms the general unimportance of foreign policy in public discourse during this period, as well as the relative lack of golden age imagery in partisan debate. Given their similarities with regard to policy and their proximity to major international events, the majority of this paper’s content will focus on the 1949 and 1953 elections, concluding with a brief summary of foreign policy in the 1957 election. The 1949 election can be viewed as a turning point in the history of Canadian federal politics.

  • From the Premier's Office to the Pmo — Where Are The

    From the Premier's Office to the Pmo — Where Are The

    FROM THE PREMIER’S OFFICE TO THE PMO — WHERE ARE THE CANDIDATES? Charles McMillan Canadian political history stands in contrast to that of the the US, where 18 governors have become president and 16 presidents, including the incumbent, were US senators. In Canada, only one premier, Sir Charles Tupper, became prime minister. Sitting premiers or past premiers today face huge obstacles on the national scene. A sitting premier, even one who is from a very large province or who has strong regional support, is unlikely ever to win a leadership race, let alone win a federal election. L’histoire politique du Canada diffère nettement de celle des États-Unis, où 18 gouverneurs ont accédé à la Maison-Blanche et 16 présidents, y compris Barack Obama, ont été sénateurs. Ici, un seul premier ministre provincial, sir Charles Tupper, a pu prendre la direction du pays, ce qui témoigne des obstacles presque insurmontables qui freinent l’ascension des premiers ministres provinciaux anciens ou actuels sur la scène nationale. Un premier ministre en poste, même s’il est à la tête d’une grande province et jouit de solides appuis régionaux, n’a guère de chances de remporter une course à la direction et moins encore une élection fédérale. t might sound like a trick question for Trivial Pursuit, and US states have budgets much smaller than the economies it is this: How many premiers in Canada have become and budgets of the biggest Canadian provinces, although I prime minister? The short answer may seem surprising: several presidents, including Ronald Reagan and George W.

    The Failure of Liberal Reform: Hugh Robson as Manitoba Liberal Leader, 1927–1929 BARRY FERGUSON* n an era of tumultuous changes to the party system, Hugh Robson led the Manitoba Liberals from March 1927 to January 1930. The issues he dealt I with were not just staple questions like provincial rights, economic development and social policy, but also critical matters regarding partisan alignments and the relations between provincial and federal party branches. These were important issues in the inter-war decades and are recurring themes in party politics. A focus on Robson as a politician is a study of his experience with crucial aspects of party politics in the early 20th century. Several important studies of the inter-war period have examined the transformation of party politics and the difficulties experienced by the Liberals throughout the Prairies. Focussed on the promise and failures of political party and policy transformation, including the eclipse of Manitoba Liberals, these works have overlooked Hugh Robson’s own agenda and the possibility that the Manitoba Liberals might have survived the 1920s as an autonomous and positive force.1 A full interpretation of Robson is hindered by the absence of his personal papers, but a careful reading of other personal papers and * Barry Ferguson is the Duff Roblin Professor of Government at the University of Manitoba.
