Although he wrestled with personal demons, his governments launched major reforms in public health care, law reform and immigration. On his watch, First Nations on reserve obtained the right to vote and the federal government began to open up the North. He established Canada as a leader in the struggle against apartheid in South Africa, and took the first steps in making Canada a leader in the fight against nuclear proliferation. And Diefenbaker’s Bill of Rights laid the groundwork for the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. He set in motion many of the achievements credited to his successor, Lester B. Pearson.\u003cbr\u003ePearson, in turn, gave coherence to Diefenbaker’s piecemeal reforms. He also pushed Parliament to adopt a new, and now much-loved, Canadian flag against Diefenbaker’s fierce opposition. Pearson understood that if Canada were to be taken seriously as a nation, it must develop a stronger sense of self.\u003cbr\u003e    Pearson was superbly prepared for the role of prime minister: decades of experience at External Affairs, respected by leaders from Washington to Delhi to Beijing, the only Canadian to win the Nobel Prize for Peace. Diefenbaker was the better politician, though. If Pearson walked with ease in the halls of power, Diefenbaker connected with the farmers and small-town merchants and others left outside the inner circles. Diefenbaker was one of the great orators of Canadian political life; Pearson spoke with a slight lisp.\u003cbr\u003e    Diefenbaker was the first to get his name in the papers, as a crusading attorney: Diefenbaker for the Defence, champion of the little man. But he struggled as a politician, losing five elections before making it into the House of Commons, and becoming as estranged from the party elites as he was from the Liberals, until his ascension to the Progressive Conservative leadership in 1956 through a freakish political accident.\u003cbr\u003e    As a young university professor, Pearson caught the attention of the powerful men who were shaping Canada’s first true department of foreign affairs, rising to prominence as the helpful fixer, the man both sides trusted, the embodiment of a new country that had earned its place through war in the counsels of the great powers: ambassador, undersecretary, minister, peacemaker. Everyone knew he was destined to be prime minister.

It is a history that includes personalities such as Lt. Col. Bruce Macdonald, whose persistence overcame Ottawa’s reluctance to pursue the ‘war crimes business,’ and SS Brigadeführer Kurt Meyer, whose last-minute reprieve from death by firing squad followed a trial reminiscent of a Hollywood melodrama. Brode illustrates the difficulties of applying law to a recently defeated enemy when the emotions and politics of war distort any sense of impartial justice. The trials also reveal much about the legal and diplomatic views that prevailed at the end of the war and democratic Canada’s willingness to overcome its colonial past to defend its own interests on the international stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe objectivity of the trials is still subject to question and they have been condemned by some as retaliatory.

And nowhere was it madder than in Chicago at the dawn of the Roaring Twenties. As Model Ts rumbled down Michigan Avenue, gang war shootings announced Al Capone’s rise to underworld domination. Bedecked partygoers thronged to the Drake Hotel’s opulent banquet rooms, corrupt politicians held court in thriving speakeasies, and the frenzy of stock market gambling was rampant. Enter a slick, smooth-talking, charismatic lawyer named Leo Koretz, who enticed hundreds of people (who should have known better) to invest as much as $30 million-upwards of $400 million today-in phantom timberland and nonexistent oil wells in Panama. It was an ingenious deceit, one that out-ponzied Charles Ponzi himself, who only a few years earlier had been arrested for a pyramid scheme. Leo had a good run-his was perhaps the longest fraud in history-and when his enterprise finally collapsed in 1923, he vanished. The Cook County state’s attorney, a man whose lust for power equaled Leo’s own lust for money, began an international manhunt that lasted almost a year. When finally apprehended, Leo was living a life of luxury in Nova Scotia under the assumed identity of a book dealer and literary critic. A salacious court hearing followed, and his mysterious death in a Chicago prison rivaled the rest of his almost too-bizarre-to-believe life.

Today, with the worrying decline in physical activity levels across the population,\u003cem\u003e Educating the Body\u003c\/em\u003e is indispensable to understanding our policy options moving ahead.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture souple","offer_id":46190882947249,"sku":"9781487525941","price":50.65,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Couverture rigide","offer_id":46190882980017,"sku":"9781487508562","price":116.14,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Livre numérique Kobo (2023)","offer_id":46190883045553,"sku":"5d0435c5-cb34-3904-8086-2776049a2198","price":31.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Livre numérique Kobo (2015)","offer_id":46190883078321,"sku":"9c9801f3-d11c-302c-bfcb-6122d37539aa","price":32.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Livre numérique Kobo (2017)","offer_id":46190883111089,"sku":"544b232b-d4a4-37be-8e51-2727cc571868","price":43.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_00aeca7d-0939-410b-a31e-a4e7ff302b5f.jpg?v=1764385946"},{"product_id":"brothers-beyond-the-sea","title":"Brothers Beyond the Sea: National Socialism in Canada","description":"\u003cp\u003eDuring the years 1933 to 1939, a pro-Nazi movement developed in Canada. With the support of the German National Socialist Party, Canadian pro-Nazi institutions were formed: clubs, rallies, schools, and newspapers. The movement ended in failure. The author analyzes the reasons for the formation and decline of the National Socialist Party in Canada, describing in the process the general characteristics of the German community in Canada, the extent of Nazi activity in this country, and the influence of the Canadian environment on the movement. The book, well researched and carefully documented, is an original contribution to Canadian history of the 1930s.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture souple","offer_id":46193530110129,"sku":"9781554586066","price":34.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Couverture rigide","offer_id":46193530142897,"sku":"9780889200968","price":14.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Livre numérique Kobo","offer_id":46193530175665,"sku":"8cc9ea28-341d-404d-96bc-7ee2dd3f4042","price":30.39,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_db490bdd-e9c6-43f1-be9f-e81285bf97b2.jpg?v=1762335814"},{"product_id":"tsunami-1","title":"Tsunami: The Newfoundland Tidal Wave Disaster","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt\"\u003eTwenty-seven dead.

Much less do they consider that these covertly militaristic activities have anything to do with culture.' So writes Mark Krismanson in this important study of the intertwining activities and careers of those involved in Canada's security agencies and in the state-sanctioned culture industry during the delight of the Cold War.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe connections between secret intelligence and culture might appear to be merely coincidental. Both the spies and the arts people worked with words, with symbols and hidden meanings, with ideas. They had regular informal luncheons together in Ottawa. Some members of the intelligence community even found careers in the arts. Less than a decade after defecting, the Russian Igor Gouzenko wrote a pulp fiction Cold War spy novel- for which he received a Governor General's award. And Peter Dwyer, Britain's top security official in North America during World War II, was a playwright who after the war worked in Canada's intelligence community before drafting the founding for the Canada Council and becoming its first director.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBut \u003cem\u003ePlateaus of Freedom\u003c\/em\u003e details much more than a casual relationship between security and the arts. As Kristmanson demonstrates, 'the censorship-intelligence-propaganda complex that proliferated in Canada after World War II played a counterpoint between national culture and state security, with the result that freedom, especially intellectual freedom, plateaued on the principle of nationality.' The security and cultural policy measures examined here, from the RCMP investigations at the National Film Board that led to numerous firings, to the harassment of the extraordinary African-American singer and Soviet sympathizer Paul Robeson, 'attest to the fragility and the enduring power of art to effect social change'.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Livre numérique Kobo","offer_id":46193580671153,"sku":"f7c60cc0-664c-3061-b483-7e6bd701cfd7","price":42.39,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Couverture rigide","offer_id":46243197386962,"sku":"9780195418668","price":142.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/image_557ea905-7fb8-4523-97d9-e64942e86bf3.jpg?v=1757625262"},{"product_id":"one-river-two-cultures","title":"One River, Two Cultures: A History Of The Bella Coola Valley","description":"Several years ago, \u003cb\u003ePaula Wild\u003c\/b\u003e spent a month in the Bella Coola Valley. Afterward, she couldn't get the place out of her mind, and it ended up hugely impacting her life.

Starting with the prehistory of the Nuxalk First Nations, Wild documents the arrival and impact of fur traders, explorers, gold seekers, the Norwegians who settled the valley in 1894, and the rough and ready mix of \"outsiders\" who embraced the challenges of living in a remote wilderness area. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOne River, Two Cultures\u003c\/i\u003e is a well-researched history told in an accessible, conversational style from the point of view of a visitor utterly swept away by the natural beauty of the Bella Coola Valley and the friendliness of its full-time residents. Illustrated with black and white archival photographs, as well as contemporary images, this book will take you to a place that is both striking in beauty and rich in culture.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Couverture souple","offer_id":46193786814641,"sku":"9781550173543","price":24.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Couverture rigide","offer_id":46193786847409,"sku":"9781550173420","price":34.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_443669bb-088b-45f9-9161-25e5d697e6ab.jpg?v=1762834528"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/fr\/collections\/post-confederation.oembed","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
