Podcast appearances and mentions of john a macdonald

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - In a series of tweets between 2019 and 2021, the Conservative candidate for North Island Powell River, Aaron Gunn, argued against the the idea that residential schools were a form of genocide.  In the first of these he agreed that they were ‘truly horrific events,' but added that people should not refer to them with a loaded word like ‘genocide' that does not remotely reflect the reality of what happened.” He was wrong, residential schools are a perfect example of genocide. Mr Gunn's understanding of the term appears to be limited to ‘killing of a large number of people,' but when Raphael Lemkin coined the term he stated it wasn't necessary to kill people. There were also genocides of political and social institutions, culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups. Lemkin was a Jewish lawyer who fled from his native Poland after the Germans overran it in 1939. He was deeply concerned about NAZI Germany's extermination policy. In his book Axis Rule in Occupied Europe (1944), Lemkin wrote:  “By ‘genocide' we mean the destruction of a nation or of an ethnic group. This new word, coined by the author to denote an old practice in its modern development, is made from the ancient Greek word genos (race, tribe) and the Latin cide (killing), thus corresponding in its formation to such words as tyrannicide, homocide, infanticide, etc. Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such a plan would be disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups.” He added that. “Genocide has two phases: one, destruction of the national pattern of the oppressed group; the other, the imposition of the national pattern of the oppressor. This imposition, in turn, may be made upon the oppressed population which is allowed to remain upon the territory …” Lemkin also coined the term cultural genocide, which is the systematic destruction of traditions, values, language, and other elements that make one group of people distinct from another.  How does this relate to Aaron Gunn's Tweets? These three appear to be misguided:  “There was no genocide. Stop lying to people and read a book …”;  “I understand that people have a misinformed view of history which they have reached following a steady and persistent attempt to discredit Canada's past in order to undermine its institutions and future.”  “Residential schools were asked for by Indigenous bands in Eastern Ontario when John A MacDonald was still a teenager.” This last remark refers to residential schools in eastern Ontario sometime between 1828 and 1835, when John A MacDonald was a teenager, but according to the Canadian Encyclopedia, the purpose of residential schools changed during the 1870s. “With the passage of the British North America Act in 1867, and the implementation of the Indian Act (1876), the government was required to provide Indigenous youth with an education and to assimilate them into Canadian society.” 

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents -First Nations leaders are calling upon the Conservative Party of Canada to drop Aaron Gunn, candidate for North Island-Powell River, due to a series of tweets he made between 2019 and 2021. More than 150,000 First Nation, Métis and Inuit children were taken out of their homes and forced to attend residential schools between the 1870s and 1997. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission called the residential school system "cultural genocide" in its final report released in 2015. Gunn tweeted: “Why are the report authors (and now Trudeau) sensationalizing truly horrific events, that need to be examined honestly, with a loaded word like ‘genocide' that does not remotely reflect the reality of what happened.”   More tweets followed: “There was no genocide. Stop lying to people and read a book. The Holocaust was a genocide. Get off Twitter and learn more about the world” “I understand that people have a misinformed view of history which they have reached following a steady and persistent attempt to discredit Canada's past in order to undermine its institutions and future.” “Residential schools were asked for by Indigenous bands in Eastern Ontario when John A MacDonald was still a teenager, but hey, why let the truth get in the way of a good headline.”   “ I think Mr. Gunn's comments about Canadian Indian residential schools are absolutely appalling and utterly unacceptable for someone that is seeking public office. It shows me that he is completely untethered from the reality that First Nations have experienced in this country and completely absent from knowledge of what the government has done and spoken of. I believe it was in 2022 when the House of Commons spoke about what happened to First Nations people as genocide, and when the Pope of the Catholic church also spoke of it as genocide. For Mr. Gunn to just disregard these statements based upon reality of this country, it's absolutely appalling.  There's no way that I can envision anyone should be able to sit in public office with such blatant, racist perspectives,” explained Bob Chamberlain, a Powell River resident who served as the Union of BC Indian Chief's Vice-President for 10 years and elected chief of the Kwikwasut'inuxw Haxwa'mis [quick-wa-sut-uh-nook / hakwuh-meesh] First Nation for 14 years.  The First Nations Leadership Council (FNLC) echoed this opinion in a press release issued on April 3: “the FNLC is joining calls for the Conservative Party of Canada to drop Aaron Gunn, the candidate for North Island-Powell River, due to his horrific and offensive posts on X between 2019 and 2021 refuting that Indigenous people faced a genocide in Canada and that ‘residential schools were asked for by Indigenous bands.' Such attitudes are extremely harmful and divisive and should not be held by those in public office.” Terry Teegee, BC Regional Chief for the Assembly of First Nations, added "It's really concerning that perhaps the Conservatives can't work with First Nations peoples across this country, especially with a party that supports an individual of this type of view."  Gunn has not responded to Cortes Currents requests for comment.   When he was rejected as a potential candidate of the BC Liberal party in 2021, because of his views, Gunn claimed he had been blindsided: “At worst, it could be argued that one of the tweets was more terse than necessary. But it is difficult to see how any of these tweets expressed extreme or factually dubious opinions that fall outside mainstream Canadian political thought. Especially considering “genocide” is most commonly defined as “the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group” – a rather serious accusation which, I believe, should only be used in those rare, extreme circumstances (such as the Holocaust, for example).”

John A Macdonald has been vilified by the woke left who would like history to portray him as a genocidal maniac. Is it fair to judge the character of someone in 1885 through the lens of 2024? We are joined today by Political Historian Patrice Dutil - he has written a new book about our First Prime Minister. He sits down with Stephen to discuss this for Three Minutes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

How did Macdonald leverage the Northwest Rebellion to further his own interests? In this week's re-run, we revisit Greg Marchildon's conversation with Bill Waiser, Professor Emeritus at the University of Regina, as they explore this intriguing question. Waiser explores these documents in the Champlain Society's Finding/Trouvaille: Prime Minister Macdonald Deliberately Portrayed Indians as Rebels.

Imagine Indigenous people getting to vote for the first time — and voting for John A. Macdonald. Many did. And it was Canada's first prime minister who gave them the vote. The Conservative leader also kept Aboriginal communities fed (against fierce Liberal opposition) when the buffalo disappeared and protected them from disease, as Patrice Dutil, author of the new book, Sir John A. Macdonald and The Apocalyptic Year 1885, tells Brian. And, yes, Macdonald also offered Indigenous children schooling: a well-intended initiative he's now being vilified for. But Canada now unfortunately privileges ahistorical, ignorant, and often spiteful slanders against John A. while lionizing a murderous secessionist like Louis Riel. As Dutil explains, Macdonald was a fascinating, brilliant, and benevolent founding father. It's time we remembered that again. (Recorded November 28, 2024) Learn more about your ad choices.

After John A. Macdonald's death, four Tory prime ministers — each remarkable but all little known — rose to power and fell in just five years. From 1891 to 1896, between John A. Macdonald's and Wilfrid Laurier's tenures, four lesser-known men took on the mantle of leadership. Tory prime ministers John Abbott, John Thompson, Mackenzie Bowell, and Charles Tupper headed the government of Canada in rapid succession. Each came to the job with qualifications and limitations, and each left after unexpectedly short terms. Yet these reluctant prime ministers are an important part of our political legacy. Their roles were much more than caretakers between the administrations of two great leaders. Personal tragedy, terrible health issues, backstabbing, and political manipulation all led to their eventual downfalls. The Lost Prime Ministers: Macdonald's Successors Abbott, Thompson, Bowell, and Tupper (Dundurn, 2022) is the dramatic saga of these overlooked Canadian leaders.

Greg Marchildon talks to Gerald Friesen about his book, The Honourable John Norquay: Indigenous Premier, Canadian Statesman. John Norquay, orphan and prodigy was a leader among the Scots Cree peoples of western Canada. Born in the Red River Settlement, he farmed, hunted, traded, and taught school before becoming a legislator, cabinet minister, and, from 1878 to 1887, premier of Manitoba. Once described as Louis Riel's alter ego, he skirmished with prime minister John A. Macdonald, clashed with railway baron George Stephen, and endured racist taunts while championing the interests of the Prairie West in battles with investment bankers, Ottawa politicians, and the CPR. His contributions to the development of Canada's federal system and his dealings with issues of race and racism deserve attention today. Recounted here by Canadian historian Gerald Friesen, Norquay's life story ignites contemporary conversations around the nature of empire and Canada's own imperial past. Drawing extensively on recently opened letters and financial papers that offer new insights into his business, family, and political life, Friesen reveals Norquay to be a thoughtful statesman and generous patriarch. This masterful biography of the Premier from Red River sheds welcome light on a neglected historical figure and a tumultuous time for Canada and Manitoba. Gerald Friesen taught Canadian history at the University of Manitoba from 1970–2011. He has written several books, including The Canadian Prairies: A History and Citizens and Nation, and is co-author of Immigrants in Prairie Cities. Former president of the Canadian Historical Association, he was an advisor on CBC-Radio Canada's television series Canada: A People's History. He lives in Winnipeg.

Troublous Times in Canada A History of the Fenian Raids of 1866 and 1870

This interview is part of a special series of the Teaching Canada's History podcast where we spoke with the finalists for the 2022 Governor General's History Award for Excellence in Teaching. Students seek to understand the complex legacies arising from the points of view of the Fathers of Confederation by creating a scripted dialogue between two figures of that time. Starting with a discussion on the removal of the statues of John A. Macdonald, students dig into the dominance of the Orange Order in 19th century Canadian politics and interrogate the commonalities in the treatment of Irish migrants and Métis peoples.

Dans ce projet, les élèves cherchent à comprendre les héritages complexes découlant des points de vue des Pères de la Confédération en créant un dialogue scénarisé entre deux personnalités de l'époque. En commençant par une discussion sur le retrait des statues de John A. Macdonald, les élèves explorent la domination de l'Ordre d'Orange dans la politique canadienne du 19e siècle et interrogent les points communs dans le traitement des migrants irlandais et des Métis. Cela aide les élèves à expliquer ce qui a incité les Fenians irlandais et les Métis à frapper violemment contre l'ordre politique dominant de l'ère de la Confédération.

Today on the Richard Syrett Show: Kingston city councillor, Jeff McLaren talks about how it's time for the John A. Macdonald statue to stand by his grave.

Then Dick Morris, former Clinton strategist, discusses hiring more IRS agents for intimidation.

Patrice Dutil meets David A. Wilson to talk about his book Canadian Spy Story: Irish Revolutionaries and the Secret Police, published by McGill-Queens University Press. In an effort to disable the Irish revolutionaries from attacking Canada and stirring Irish sympathies in Canada, Sir John A. Macdonald established a sophisticated spy ring to infiltrate Fenian ranks. They examine the ideas that animated the Fenians, their success and their failures. They also reflect on the socio-political situation and on the actions taken by the Government of Canada's, taking particular note of individuals like Gilbert McMicken, Frederick Ermatinger, Charles Clarke and the grand spy Henri Le Caron.

A drunken John A Macdonald and his government collapse over their plan to bolster Canadian defence in the midst of the American civil war. Then another John Macdonald - John Sandfield Macdonald - creates a government built on the idea of the Double Majority. We have another religiously divisive murder - this one over runaway chickens no less - and then a fight about the creation of publicly funded Catholic schools. At the end, another government falls because... why wouldn't it?!

Patrice Dutil talks to Michael Hill about his book The Lost Prime Ministers: Macdonald's Successors Abbott, Thompson, Bowell and Tupper, published by Dundurn Press. In this podcast, Michael Hill describes the background and the accomplishments of the four men who served as Canadian prime minister between 1891 and 1896. John J. Abbott, for instance, mostly served to complete the unfinished legislative work left by Macdonald. John Thompson, the first Catholic to serve as PM, was energetic and ambitious, but cut down prematurely by a fatal heart attack. Mackenzie Bowell served from the Senate, and was felled by a caucus revolt. Finally, Sir Charles Tupper rose to the top of the proverbial greasy pole, but was defeated by the Wilfrid Laurier Liberals in 1896. This podcast was produced by Jessica Schmidt.

In one of the quirkiest episodes of Canadian political history John A Macdonald and George Etienne Cartier perform a political two-step to avoid facing an election. George Brown is more than a little disappointed. And it all started because Queen Victoria announced that Ottawa would be the Canadian capital. 

John A Macdonald asks the Queen a favour. Thomas D'Arcy McGee arrives in the country, wonders which gang he should join, and then almost becomes a martyr at an absolutely historic St. Patrick's Day party. Oh, and Ottawa becomes the capital.  If you like what you're hearing and want to support the podcast, please head on over to our Patreon page where, for only $5/month, you can become a real-life patron of the arts - and keep 1867 & All That online in perpetuity.

An angry mob has taken down a 125-year old statue of Canada's first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, in Montreal. This thuggish vandalism shows not only a disrespect for Macdonald's role in Canada's founding, but also an ignorance of history itself. As lawmakers and Canadians condemn the act, True North's Andrew Lawton says it's important for people to understand why Macdonald was not, as the mob says, a “problematic” figure in history, but rather a hero to be celebrated. Also, People's Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier joins the show to discuss Erin O'Toole's Conservative leadership win, and the future of the PPC. Learn more about your ad choices.
