Podcasts about Canadian War Museum

It's been 80 years since Allied forces defeated Nazi Germany in World War II. Why is it still important to recognize Victory in Europe, or VE Day? Three historians discuss the significance of this anniversary, not just to help us understand the past, but to comprehend the present. Margaret MacMillan, emeritus professor of International History at Oxford University and the University of Toronto and author of "War: How Conflict Shaped Us"; Tim Cook, chief historian and director of research at the Canadian War Museum and author of "The Good Allies: How Canada and the United States Fought Together to Defeat Fascism during the Second World War"; and Jeff Noakes, historian at the Canadian War Museum and author of "Forged in Fire: Canada and the Second World War" join Steve Paikin to discuss.

Larry Ostola speaks with Andrew Burtch about his book, Canada and the Korean War: Histories and Legacies of a Cold War Conflict. The Korean War was the first major conflict of the Cold War and Canada's most significant military engagement after the two world wars. Canada and the Korean War brings together leading scholars to examine key battles and themes of this pivotal yet often overlooked conflict. Before 1950, Canada had little interest in Korea, but the war's threat to postwar stability compelled its involvement. Between 1950 and 1953, over 30,000 Canadian military personnel served in Korea, and “peacetime” defence spending reached record levels. Fighting alongside U.S., local, and Commonwealth forces, Canadians faced a resourceful enemy across land, sea, and air. The eventual armistice left Korea divided and tensions unresolved. This timely collection blends Canadian and international perspectives, highlighting the war's impact on Canada's military and its evolving relationship with Korea. It also explores how the war has been remembered over time. Essential reading for scholars of military history, the Cold War, and Canadian foreign policy, this volume will also appeal to veterans, their families, and general readers interested in Canada's military past. Andrew Burtch is the Canadian War Museum's historian for the post-1945 period and an adjunct research professor in the Department of History at Carleton University. Tim Cook, CM, FRSC, is the chief historian and director of research at the Canadian War Museum. Image Credit: UBC Press If you like our work, please consider supporting it: bit.ly/support_WTY.

It's time for another episode in our On Writing series. Host Michael Neiberg is joined in the studio by Tim Cook, the chief historian at the Canadian War Museum. Tim emphasizes the importance of making history accessible to the public, which involves finding compelling ways to tell stories and connect with readers. Their discussion covers Cook's latest book, "The Good Allies," which explores the relationship between Canada and the United States during World War II. Cook highlights the challenges of writing a book that is both chronological and thematic, and the importance of situating historical events within their specific time period. He explains that while there is an abundance of literature on World War II, he seeks to find unique angles and approaches to the topic.

Today's podcast: Before Donald Trump, the Biden administration wrote to PM Justin Trudeau, and Congress had The Northern Border Caucus as Americans had real concerns about the proliferation of threats from Canada to the U.S. - Is it all posturing by Donald Trump that Canada is not fulfilling our agreement to have each other's back? Our guest says, indeed not only posturing by Trump. - On border security, the premiers are stepping up with their own plans, in the absence of federal leadership. And the premiers' plans can actually be implemented, while the federal plan "isn't really worth the paper it's written on." And on the subject of tariffs, does it make any sense for Canada to threaten retaliatory tariffs against the U.S.?   Guest: Christian Leuprecht. Distinguished professor at Royal Military College How many do you remember? Might you have forgotten a few? RIGHT DISHONOURABLE: Scandals that defined the Trudeau era is a piece by Bryan Passifiume Post Media national politics reporter. Guest: Bryan Passifiume, Post Media national politics reporter  As we wind down the program, longtime guests and friends join us. Tim Danson has been the lawyer for the French and Mahaffy families for 30+ years in their battle for whatever justice Canada's offender-friendly system deems acceptable. Tim was also the lawyer of Jim and Anna Stephenson whose 12-year-old son Christopher was abducted from a Brampton, Ontario shopping mall by convicted child sexual psychopath Joseph Fredericks who would murder Christopher. During the inquest into Christopher's death, the federal government refused to fund Stephenson's legal expenses, suggesting federal government lawyers could properly represent Stephenson's concerns. After a program with Jim Stephenson, Christopher's father, and Tim Danson, the federal Minister of Justice and Attorney General Doug Lewis demanded to be on our program to 'set us straight.' The next morning Lewis spent two painful (for him) hours in-studio. The following morning, the Minister of Justice called in to say the federal government had been wrong and that Ottawa would not pay the Stephenson family's legal costs. Tim Danson had not sent the Stephenson's one invoice. Guest: Tim Danson, lawyer for the French and Mahaffy families U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has said he would not use military force to annex Canada, but that he will use economic force to create an economic union between the U.S. and Canada. - But, the United States did have a detailed plan for a military invasion of Canada in 1935 and today, near Watertown, New York, some 10 miles from the New York/Ontario border and some 50 or so miles from Ottawa sits a massive U.S. military installation, Fort Drum, home of the 10th Mountain Division of the U.S. Army. A rapid deployment military unit. The question is periodically asked "why is this military unit stationed in such proximity to the seat of Canada's national government? Might the U.S. have plans to invade Canada under specific circumstances? Guest: Dr. Tim Cook.

Larry Ostola talks to Tim Cook about his book, The Good Allies: How Canada and the United States Fought Together to Defeat Fascism during the Second World War. The Good Allies is a compelling narrative by Canada's leading war historian, exploring the evolving relationship between Canada and the United States during World War II.

His bestselling books have won multiple awards, including four Ottawa Book Awards for Literary Non-Fiction and two C.P. Stacey Awards for the best book in Canadian military history.

When World War II began in 1939, it sparked a deadly conflict between the Axis and Allies, while also creating tense negotiations among the Allies. Diplomacy, military power, and economic decisions determined the fate of nations. In North America, the U.S. and Canada worked to build a military alliance to protect their coasts from German U-boats and the threat of Japanese invasion. Their economies became intertwined to supply weapons for Britain and other allies, and defending North America was crucial before sending forces abroad. Joining me is Tim Cook.

From museums and monuments to letters and laughs shared around the dinner table, Indigenous veterans are being remembered across Turtle Island. Take a walk with us through the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, where Canada's military history is told. Indigenous Military Historian Danielle Teillet is our guide. She tells us why so many chose to fight, what they were fighting for and recounts some of the common experiences she's heard from Indigenous veterans. Then we head to Labrador where Heather Campbell passes on the stories of her great great uncle John Shiwak, an Inuk soldier in the first World War. Heather knows his story well because she has been learning about him since she was a little girl. To Heather he is “Uncle John” and her family has been honoring his memory for over one hundred years. And, we land south of the medicine line in Exeter, Rhode Island to visit the Rhode Island Veterans Memorial Cemetery where a beautiful stone monument honouring Indigenous Veterans now stands. That's thanks to Lorén Spears, co-chair of the Honouring Indigenous Veterans of Turtle Island Committee and the executive director of the Tomaquag Museum. The monument is the first to honour Indigenous Veterans, even though Native Americans have fought in every war since confederation.

Ahead of Remembrance day, historian Andrew Burtch at the Canadian War Museum joins the Shift with a look back at Canada's part in key historical events,, Steve Stebbing has the low down on what to watch this weekend, from new releases such as The Marvels and the Holdovers to classics like Scrooged in 4K and RUOK Taylor Swift, doughnuts and a million-dollar purse

In this podcast episode, Greg Marchildon talks to Tim Cook about his book, Lifesavers and Body Snatchers: Medical Care and the Struggle for Survival in the Great War, published by Penguin Canada in 2023. Based on deep archival research and unpublished letters of soldiers and medical personnel, Lifesavers and Body Snatchers is a powerful narrative that reveals how medical services supported the soldiers at the front during World War I and, in turn, shaped Canadian public health. Cook offers a definitive medical history of the Great War, bringing to light shocking revelations of the brutality of combat and the necessity of agonizing battlefield decisions, which led to unimaginable strain for the heroic men and women who fought to save the lives of soldiers. After the war, the hard lessons learned by doctors and nurses weren't the only things they brought back to Canada: Cook exposes the disturbing story of medical doctors harvesting body parts in medical units behind the lines, in the name of medical innovation and education. This uncovered history has never been told before and is part of the hidden legacy of the war. Tim Cook is Chief Historian and Director of Research at the Canadian War Museum. His bestselling books have won multiple awards, including three Ottawa Book prizes for Literary Non-Fiction and two C.P. Stacey Awards for the best book in Canadian military history.

As we prepare for Remembrance Day long weekend and the annual reminder to remember the sacrifices of war made for the freedom of Canadians, a foremost Canadian historian joins Gormley. Dr. Andrew Burtch, post-1945 historian with the Canadian War Museum and Department of History adjunct research professor at Carlton University, stops by to remind listeners why November 11 is such a significant day. Gormley

This Saturday is Remembrance Day, our annual opportunity to stop and remember Canada's war dead who made the ultimate sacrifice and the ones that came home. But not all wars are remembered equally. For instance, the Korean War has long been characterized as “the forgotten war”, so on this 70th anniversary of the unofficial end of the Korean War, how can we make sure that the forgotten war gets remembered? On Remembrance Day 2013 in Guelph, the 60th anniversary of the end of the Korean War was given special consideration in the ceremony. Frank Bayne, a retired colonel who spent 14 months in Korea during the war, was the keynote speaker, and he commended his comrades for their bravery and denounced the characterization of the Korean War as a "conflict" or a "police action." Just five years after the end of World Ward II, 30,000 Canadian served in Korea, which is not exactly small potatoes. There are plenty of scholars who are doing their best to make sure the Korean War gets remembered, and one of them is Dr. Andrew Burtch, a historian at the Canadian War Museum that specializes in post-World War II history. A few years ago he took part in a virtual event for the global affairs think tank the Wilson Centre to discuss Canada's participation in the war and how it was key to the United Nations success in repelling the North Korean invasion. So why isn't the Korean War more of a part of Canada's story? Dr. Burtch will join us on this week's edition of the podcast to shed some light on the Korean War and Canada's role in it. He will discuss what the war was about, and the complexities around how it ended. He will also talk about the role that Canada played among the UN forces, how Canadians distinguished themselves on the battlefield, and how the Korean War was thought about on the homefront as it was happening. Also, he will talk about the best ways to ensure that the Korean War is no longer forgotten. So let's all remember the Korean War together, 70 years later, on this week's Guelph Politicast! The Canadian War Museum presently has an exhibit dedicated to the Korean War called “Canada, Korea, and the War” and it runs until March 31 at the Museum in Ottawa. You can follow Burtch on social media @PostWarHist on Twitter, and you can buy his book Give Me Shelter: The Failure of Canada's Cold War Civil Defence wherever you can buy books. Remembrance Day services here in Guelph will take place on Saturday morning at McCrae House and then downtown at the Sleeman Centre, and to learn more check out the Legion Branch 234 website.

The border between North and South Korea bristles with weapons and with mistrust. A stress point in current global tensions, the border on the 38th Parallel is a seventy-year-old legacy of the Korean War. General Wayne Eyre, Canadian Armed Forces Chief of the Defence Staff, discusses his experiences as Deputy Commander of the United Nations Command in Korea, and explains why the Korean War remains relevant today, along with Canadian War Museum historian Andrew Burtch and Kate Jaimet, senior editor of Canada's History Magazine.

The Empire Club of Canada Presents: Remembrance Day Reflection: Canadian Women in War On November 10th, in honour of Remembrance Day week, the Empire Club of Canada will open the door to a chapter of our history that has for far too long been either unknown or misunderstood by the vast majority of Canadians. In conversation with philanthropist, business leader and decorated navy Dr. Wendy M. Cecil and Dr. Melanie Morin-Pelletier, Historian of the Canadian War Museum, will present through film clips, photographs, and images from those heroic and troubled times the extraordinary stories of Canadian Women at War during the two great conflicts of the 20th century, the First and Second World Wars. The two great wars changed women's lives – and in some ways, there was no looking back. Almost everywhere, particularly in WW-2, women stepped in to perform "masculine" jobs. The changes for women and society were massive, but there was an expectation for women to return to more traditional roles at the end of both wars. After WW-2 and – pushed by government policies – women massively left the workforce – their participation sank to 24% in the late 1940s. It took decades for it to return. Now, women's participation in the workforce is well over 80% and virtually equal to male participation in the workforce. The story of Canadian Women at War, as told by Melanie Morin-Pelletier in conversation with Wendy M. Cecil, is a glimpse into the past. Still, it also explains much about the present and perhaps about the future. It is time to better understand this aspect of our history and celebrate the fundamental role that women played in assuring the success of Canada's war efforts, leading to the social construct of Canadian society as we know it today.

This year, first prize for photographic storytelling at the prestigious World Press Photo awards went to an Italian photojournalist named Antonio Faccilongo. Faccilongo's winning photo essay, titled "Habibi"—which means "my love" in Arabic"—documents the families of jailed Palestinians prisoners serving sentences in Israel. Over the years, many of these men have smuggled their semen out via test tubes or ballpoint pens hidden in chocolate bars, and their wives use this sperm to artificially inseminate themselves to bear more children. Faccilongo's images portray these women and the children born under these circumstances, but avoid referencing the crimes for which the men have been imprisoned—which include terrorism and murder. "Habibi" is part of a larger travelling photo show put on by the World Press Photo Foundation. This year, from July 22 to Aug. 15, the exhibit set up at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, a crown corporation funded in part by government money. Upon discovering this exhibit had come to Canada, some Jewish organizations launched protests. One such group was Honest Reporting Canada. Their executive director, Mike Fegelman, joins today to discuss his group's reaction to the images and why the Jewish community should be outraged.

Since the late 1990s, Canadian historian Tim Cook has carved out a niche in the field of First World War history. In his two-volume social history of the war, he spoke of a soldiers’ culture, which bound Canadians together on the battlefields and helped them cope with the immense stress and strain of war from 1914 to 1918. This year, published with Allen Lane, Tim released The Secret History of Soldiers, a book dedicated solely to this soldiers’ culture that has become his most significant contribution to our understanding of the First World War in Canada. Tim speaks of a few of the aspects of this soldiers’ culture, including swearing, slang and material objects. At the end of the war, this culture did not necessarily disappear. In Legion halls and reunions, veterans recreated this culture in a civilian world, however temporary it might have been. Tim Cook is the First World War historian at the Canadian War Museum. He is the author of 11 books, including Shock Troops, Vimy and most recently, The Secret History of Soldiers. Among many others, he is the recipient of the RBC Taylor Prize, J.W. Dafoe Prize (twice), Ottawa Book Award (twice) and the C.P. Stacey Award (twice). He was recently awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal and the Governor General’s History Award for Popular Media. He is a Member of the Order of Canada. References  Tim Cook. “Battles of the Imagined Past: Canada’s Great War and Memory.” Canadian Historical Review 95, no. 3 (2014): 417–26. ------.

In Istanbul on Oct 25, 2018, activists protested the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi at Saudi Arabia’s consulate in Turkey. (Lefteris Pitarakis/AP Photo) A series of recent events with journalists being shot, imprisoned, murdered, or labelled as enemies of the state, a Canadian lawyer says it's a dark time for journalists. He is calling on the Canadian government to enact new legislation whereby a criminal act against a journalist would carry a stiffer penalty than normal. He says that would send a signal to other nations, but also is asking the Canadian government to levy sanctions on foreign governments that act against a free press. Lynn spoke with Toronto lawyer David Butt. Outdoor sports company embraces"diversity" Mountain Equipment Co-op now has Judith Kasiam as an ambassador after she questioned their white-only marketing earlier this spring.

Remembrance: Canada's lead to end the First World War Exhibit photo: With its important road and rail junction, Cambrai was the main enemy supply centre in northern France. Liberating the city would cripple the Germans, and the Canadian attack in the early hours of October 9 caught them by surprise. As the Germans were driven out of Cambrai, they set many buildings on fire. Canadian engineers put out the flames, and the city was freed. (Cambrai, Oct 9, 1918 George Metcalf Archival Collection Canadian War Museum19930012-847  Image colourised by Canadian Colour) It's now known as "Canada's 100 days".  From the outset when Canadians were moved into the First World War trenches in early 1915, they earned a reputation as staunch fighters. By 1917, Canadians, led by a Canadian general, were known as fierce fighters, having achieved the first major tactical victory for the Allies at Vimy Ridge where others had failed, again at Hill 70, and again in the mud and mire of the blasted wasteland of Passchendaele. By 1918, Canadians were widely recognized as the best fighting force in the war, and starting that summer were used as the shock troops to push the Germans back, leading and winning every battle up to Germany's surrender. On this 100th anniversary year, the Canadian War Museum has created a special exhibit to mark that campaign. Tim Cook, historian, author, and co-curator explains the term Canada's 100 days.

April 2017 marks the 100th anniversary of the attack and capture of Vimy Ridge, when all four divisions of the Canadian Corps worked together for the first time. During the First World War, over 25,000 Canadians served with the British Flying Service as pilots, observers and mechanics, and even though the Battle of Vimy Ridge is better known as a ground offensive, many of the preparations for the assault on Vimy took place in the air. In Part 2 of this episode, we once again sit down with Bill Rawling, historian and author of the book Surviving Trench Warfare, and Hugh Halliday, author and retired curator at the Canadian War Museum, to discuss the role Canada and her allies played in the air over Vimy Ridge and Arras in April 1917, a month known as "Bloody April".

Viveka Melki   Viveka and I talked about her new film After Circus and about memory and recollection, about what defines us as we approach the dubious notion of retirement and how she loves performing and the circus. Watch the Trailer here. Synopsis AFTER CIRCUS is an utterly charming look at circus folk and their world. I’d qualify that by saying it’s actually about retired & semi-retired circus performers, but it quickly becomes clear, watching the film that circus people never really retire. The circus is in their blood. The film details the sense of community circus folk have with each other and their world. Many in this community have been circus people for many generations, passed down from parent to child. The film is about those family histories. It also touches on the fact that most circus people aren’t getting rich doing what they do – they do it for the love of performing and the love of community. And the film deals with the inexorable march of time, when performer’s bodies fail even as the passion for performing still lives on. It’s a film about passing eras – of the individual people, of the institution, of collective memory….and the passion that endures.    Biography Viveka Melki was herself a performer – a former professional swing dancer and instructor who performed with Michael Bublé, Colin James  and others. She understands the psyche of performing artists.  She was born in The Gambia, West Africa and is of Brazilian/Lebanese descent,  and educated in the UK before immigrating to Canada. Here, she furthered her education, getting a BA at Simon Fraser University in BC in Communications, specializing in Women’s Studies, but ended up co-founding Tortuga Films with Adam Pajot Gendron in Rimouski, Quebec in 2006. She later sold her interest in the company to Adam in order to devote herself full-time to being a director and screenwriter. Multilingual and multicultural, she calls herself « consciously Canadian » and knows that it is these elements that allowed her to understand the immigrant world of Circus. Viveka’s filmography as a Producer ranges from the documentary, Campesinos... we will inherit the earth (2008, Radio Canada and TFO) to Hippocrate (2012, Radio Canada, Explora).  In 2014, she directed the two-part series War Correspondence (WWI and D-Day). She is currently developing We Interrupt This Program, a feature documentary on radio and social change around the world, for CBC’s Documentary channel, as well as working on her new documentary Carricks: la mer n'a pas volu de nous (2017, Radio Canada & RDI), about Irish Immigration in 1847 and the link to Francophone culture. She is the Curator of the upcoming traveling multi-media exhibition War Flowers (2017, Canadian War Museum, Chateau Ramezay, the new Visitor Centre in Vimy, France).   To learn more about her work visit her site here. ---------- For more information about my podcasting, writing and public speaking please visit my site here.   With thanks to producer Josh Snethlage and Mixed Media Sound.       See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
