The image of farmers and workers called to the colours endures in Canada’s social memory of the First World War. But is the ideal of being a citizen first and a soldier only by necessity as recent as our histories and memories suggest? Militia Myths brings to light a military culture that consistently employed the citizen soldier as its foremost symbol, but was otherwise in a state of profound transition. At the time of Confederation, the defence of Canada itself represented the country’s only real obligation to the British Empire, but by the early twentieth century Canadians were already fighting an imperial war in South Africa. In 1914, they began raising an army to fight on the Western Front. By the end of the First World War, the ideological transition was complete: for better or for worse, the untrained civilian who had answered the call-to-arms in 1914 replaced the long-serving volunteer militiaman of the past as the archetypical Canadian citizen soldier. Militia Myths traces the evolution of a uniquely Canadian amateur military tradition -- one that has had an enormous impact on the country’s experience of the First and Second World Wars. Published in association with the Canadian War Museum.
Recording all of Stephen Leacock's published work from his first known venture into print in 1887 until 1998, this bibliography reveals the complexity and scope of the writer's enormous canon. Based on an in-depth examination of texts and archival documents, this resource is a research tool in the true scholarly tradition, a work that will interest Leacock enthusiasts as well as students and researchers of Canadian literature and social history. Organized into 10 sections, it describes all editions and issues; Leacock's contributions to books; his serial publications (in newspapers and magazines); reports of his speeches and lectures; lectures given; interviews; authorized adaptations; translations; recordings by Leacock; Braille, talking books and films; encyclopedia articles; and contributions in serial articles and books by others. In addition, there is a section for Lost Leads and a comprehensive index.
The surest way to the hearts of a Canadian audience is to inform them that their souls are to be identified with rock, rapids, wilderness and virgin (but exploitable) forest. Multiculturalism, feminism, postmodernism and regionalism - these and other vital movements jostle for expression in Canada. This title deals with this topic.
Excerpt from Addresses Delivered Before the Canadian Club of Ottawa, 1903-1909 Regular meetings have been held since the autumn of 1903. The initial membership of 237 has been increased to upwards of and it may fairly be claimed for the Canadian Club of Ottawa that, through its endeavour to cultivate a robust national spirit, an intelligent patriotism and a closer feeling of unity among Canadians of all classes, to encourage the study of Canadian institutions, Canadian history, Canadian arts and literature, and Canadian resources, and to inspire the highest ideals of citizenship, it has won for itself a high position in the public estimation and has become, indeed, one of the recognized institutions of Ottawa. At the Sixth Annual Meeting of the Club, which was held on April 27 1909, a resolution was adopted in favour of the publication in book form of the more important addresses delivered before the Club since its organ ization, and the membership fee was increased from to per annum to provide funds for this purpose, so that copies of the volume might be placed in the hands of all the members. It is a matter of regret to the Officers and Executive Committee that it has not been possible to include in the present volume all of the addresses delivered before the Club since its organization. Unfortunately, no reports are available of some of the most interesting addresses to which members of the Club have been privileged to listen. Unavoidable limitations of space have, moreover, had to be considered, and have made it necessary to condense the text of the longer addresses wherever this seemed practicable. On account of the fact that the guests of the Club during the past six seasons have been drawn from almost all parts of the world, it has not been possible in all cases, in the preparation of the present volume, to submit the reports for revision to the persons by whom the addresses were delivered. In most instances the reports have been based on stenographic notes, although in some cases the Club has availed itself of the reports published in the press of Ottawa. The present volume contains reports of all the addresses which have been delivered before the Club during the year 1909, and also of a large number of the more important addresses of previous years.
