Podcasts about sir wilfrid laurier

In conformity with its title, this volume, save for the earlier chapters, is history rather than biography, is of the day, more than of the man. The aim has been to review the more significant events and tendencies in the recent political life of Canada. (from the Preface)Sir Wilfrid Laurier (1841-1919) was a member of parliament for 45 years (1874-1919) and Prime Minister of Canada from 1896 to 1911. He was Canada's first French-speaking prime minister and did much to reconcile English and French Canada --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/librivox1/support

On this edition of the Big 5...Elias is joined Jimmy Zoubris, special advisor to the Mayor and Jonathan Kalles, Senior Consultant at McMillan Vantage, a national public affairs firm, and former advisor to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Faced with a huge increase in shoplifting and thefts every day, grocery stores are fighting back. Some are posting photos of shoplifters at entrances. Is it OK to publicly shame shoplifters? Barely a third of Montrealers who can compost do so regularly. The city wants 60% of residents to compost by 2025. Is this another example of mismanagement at City Hall? How do we reach that goal? The effort to swap out the first French-Canadian Prime Minister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, from the $5 bill has stalled. A list of hundreds was winnowed down and presented to Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland. Why do you think this plan has not moved forward yet?

The biggest news of this year were the three prime ministers who served in the space of six months, Sir Mackenzie Bowell, Sir Charles Tupper and Sir Wilfrid Laurier. The election this year brought about a monumental shift in Canadian politics that would last for the next century.

We always say the only upside of a disaster is the legacy of safety from the lessons learned – but not today. I don't want to spoil the surprise here, but I think you'll find today's story, most riveting 
On this episode, there will be your typical mutilations, manglings and scissorings. You can try to imagine being repeatedly cut in half but in three dimensions. And we'll play a game of Would You Rather fall 150 feet onto rocks, or find yourself pressed into mud and suffocated. This is a good episode if you're afraid of water, heights, industrial accidents - it's a rich tapestry, and it pays homage to the ridiculously overly-popular TikTok about not getting water up your butt. Celebrity guest stars include French explorer Jacques Cartier, Prime Minister of Canada, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, celebrity engineer Theodore Cooper, Prince of Wales Edward the Eighth, and the Kahnawake Skywalkers.

This conversation was recorded before the May 29th news release that 215 Indigenous children were discovered buried outside the old Kamloops Residential School. This school is located on Sunny's traditional territory. This tragic reminder of Canada's past and present racist policies is a wake-up call and a call to action. For many Canadians, this is the first they have learned of the shocking practices of our country and the church. I hope this conversation furthers your learning and inspires you to learn more. Thank you for your courage to be here and listen. What is reconciliation?  I can't think of a better time to ask this question and listen for the answers. In this circle, we are joined by Sunny LeBourdais of the Pellt'iqt te Secwepemc Nation and Qwastanaya (L.Maynard Harry) of the Tla'amin Nation to hear the stories of their communities, the brave leadership work they are doing, and the hopes for the future. What I have learned about reconciliation is that it must start with the truth. In this conversation, you will hear the truth in very clear and direct ways. This experience is both an education and a call to action. Please take care of yourself as you listen in, and know that by letting these words soak in and change you, you can make a difference. What's in this episode for you: 9:55 - An opening passage by Richard Wagamese 11:40 - Be inspired by learning about these courageous leaders and the change they are making in their communities 19:35 - A better understanding of what is needed to create real change in Indigenous communities and the role of leadership in that transformation 27:08 - A way to reframe the concept of governance in a way that decreases conflict and division 29:15 - How intergenerational trauma interferes with the ability to deal with conflict and why social media is contributing to divisiveness 35:30 - How non-Indigenous people can support healing and understanding by doing their homework 39:40 - Why Canada is one of the most racist countries in the world and a call to action to change our systems 48:15 - Some tangible and actionable definitions of what reconciliation means and what it does not mean 1:03:45 - Hope for the future and the new leaders that are bringing reconciliation to life Poem: Excerpt from Embers, by Richard Wagamese: Unity cannot exist when exclusion is allowed to occur. I was graced with this teaching years ago, when I was working as a traditional elder's helper. The teaching was given in the context of the sacred pipe, but its intention was to help me understand community. What brings us together cannot exist in the same time and place as what keeps us apart. You. Me. Everyone. My choice is to be aware of our similarities: our yearning for truth, peace, love, belonging, welcome, grace, mercy, a god of our own understanding and at least one moment of real contact at the heart of every day. Seeing that, I am made more, included, extended and in harmony…until that moment when I no longer see. Who's in circle with us: Qwastånayå (L. Maynard Harry) is a former Chief Councillor of Tla'amin Nation, where he served 4 terms as councilor. He is the Primary Signatory on the 2003 Community Accord (Tla'amin Nation/City of Powell River), and recipient of Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal and Freedom of the City from the City of Powell River. He is the Manager of, Aboriginal Rights and Title Department for the Tla'amin Nation and a partner with Advanced Business Match. Maynard is also a student bag-piper. www.indigenousinsight.ca Sunny LeBourdais is a member of the Pellt'iqt te Secwepemc Nation (Whispering Pines/Clinton Band of the Shuswap Nation). She believes our greatest strength comes from helping each other, as declared by the Chiefs of the Interior to Sir Wilfrid Laurier in 1910: “These people wish to be partners with us in our country . . . we will help each other to be great and good.” Sunny has managed and coordinated businesses and projects for the Okanagan, Ktunaxa, and Secwepemc Nations. She facilitates community-based development of strategies and decision-making processes that respect the inherent responsibility to manage activities on traditional territories. She is currently the Director of Transformation for the Qwelmínte Secwepemc Government to Government LOC where she strives to effect change through the development of collaborative inter-jurisdictional processes that give due recognition to Secwepemc laws, traditions, customs and land tenure systems. www.qwelminte.ca/our-team Learn more: Tla'amin Nation and City of Powell River Community Accord Pick up the talking piece:  What came up for you as you listened to this episode?

In between the decades-long leaderships of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and William Lyon Mackenzie King, there is Daniel Duncan McKenzie, who served for only a few months in between in 1919. While his time was short, he was the bridge between these leaders. As well, from the municipal, to the provincial, to the federal levels, he never once lost an election.  Support: www.patreon.com/canadaehx Donate: www.canadaehx.com E-mail: craig@canadaehx.com Twitter: www.twitter.com/craigbaird Instagram: @Bairdo37 YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/canadianhistoryehx

Ce balado est seulement disponible en anglais, mais vous pouvez lire la traduction française ci-dessous. Les extraordinaires installations de recherche concrètes de ce pays offrent une merveilleuse toile de fond aux univers futuristes imaginés par Robert Sawyer. Elles confirment qu’il n’est pas nécessaire d’aller bien loin pour s’inspirer de la science de po L’auteur primé Robert Sawyer rêvait d’une carrière scientifique, mais l’état de la recherche au Canada dans les années 1970 l’a dissuadé d’emprunter cette voie. Il a plutôt décidé d’écrire de la science-fiction. Aujourd’hui, il campe souvent le décor de ses romans dans les remarquables laboratoires de recherche canadiens, dont le Centre canadien de rayonnement synchrotron (où il a été écrivain résident) et le SNOLAB (où se déroule une partie de son roman Hominids, lauréat du prix Hugo). En novembre 2018, devant un auditoire de chercheurs qui assistaient à un séminaire sur les installations de recherche canadiennes, il a passé en revue l’évolution des établissements scientifiques canadiens, depuis son entrée à l’université en 1979 jusqu’aux installations de calibre mondial dont nous disposons aujourd’hui. Premier ministre Sir Wilfrid Laurier avait déclaré que le 20e siècle appartiendrait au Canada; M. Sawyer nous explique pourquoi, dans le cas des sciences et grâce à la FCI, l’homme d’État avait vu juste à une centaine d’années près.   [ROBERT SAWYER] J’ai fait mes premiers pas en sciences dans ce pays durant les années 1970. En 1979, à la fin de mon secondaire, je voulais être paléontologue et étudier les dinosaures. [NARRATEUR] Voici Robert J. Sawyer, un auteur de science-fiction canadien primé. Il a écrit plus de vingt romans; ses livres sont traduits dans plus de deux douzaines de langues. Il prend ici la parole devant un auditoire de quelque 85 chercheurs canadiens à l’occasion d’un séminaire organisé par la Fondation canadienne pour l’innovation à Ottawa en novembre 2018. [ROBERT SAWYER] Mon père qui enseignait alors l’économie à l’Université de Toronto m’a dit : Quel que soit ton choix de carrière, renseigne-toi sur les perspectives d’emploi avant de te lancer. Parce que pour devenir scientifique, il faut compter dix ans avant d’obtenir son doctorat. C’est un gros investissement en temps. J’ai donc commencé à sonder le terrain. À l’époque, il y avait précisément trois paléontologues spécialistes des dinosaures au Canada. Et seulement 24 à plein temps dans le monde entier. Ce rêve en apparence insensé de devenir un auteur de science-fiction à succès reconnu internationalement tout en vivant à Toronto, au Canada, s’est révélé un choix professionnel plus facile à réaliser que de faire carrière en sciences au Canada dans les années 1970. [NARRATEUR] Après avoir écrit son premier roman en 1988, Robert Sawyer avait toujours des regrets de ne pas être devenu un scientifique. Il cite David Suzuki qui s’est aussi prononcé sur l’état de la science au Canada à cette époque. [ROBERT SAWYER] En 1987 – ne perdons pas de vue que ça fait 31 ans de cela — il a dit de l’état de la science au Canada : J’ai rapidement constaté la différence entre le Canada et les États-Unis. Mes collègues américains, qui débutaient aussi leur carrière dans un poste de professeur adjoint, pouvaient s’attendre à recevoir des premières subventions de 30 000 à 40 000 dollars. On m’a dit que les subventions du Conseil national de recherches du Canada commençaient autour de 2500 dollars. Il est clair qu’à l’époque où je pensais devenir un scientifique, la science dans ce pays n’en était encore qu’à ses premiers balbutiements en plus d’être sous-évaluée. Il n’y avait pas beaucoup de gens qui se consacraient à plein temps à la science. Nos établissements ne recevaient pas le financement adéquat. Le formidable bassin d’intellectuels produit ici au Canada n’était pas apprécié à sa juste valeur. Mais les temps ont changé. Et, comme auteur de science-fiction, j’ai eu la chance d’observer ces changements. Hominids, publié en 2002, se déroule en grande partie dans ce qu’on appelait alors l’Observatoire de neutrinos de Sudbury, aujourd’hui rebaptisé le SNOLAB en raison de son mandat élargi. [NARRATEUR] Le SNOLAB est une installation souterraine unique située à Sudbury, en Ontario. Construit deux kilomètres sous terre dans une mine de nickel, le laboratoire se spécialise dans l’étude des neutrinos et de la matière noire. En 2015, l’astrophysicien canadien Arthur McDonald et son partenaire de recherche ont obtenu le prix Nobel de physique pour leur découverte qui montre que les particules subatomiques appelées neutrinos ont une masse. [ROBERT SAWYER] Je me rappelle très bien avoir appelé Art McDonald et lui avoir dit : Vous savez, je veux écrire un roman qui se passe… Et il m’a répondu : Écoutez, un auteur de romans policiers est venu ici et nous n’étions pas très contents de ce qu’il a fait, je ne sais pas. Il a ensuite ajouté : Vous voulez faire quoi? Et j’ai dit : « Eh bien, dans le premier chapitre, je veux détruire le détecteur de neutrinos. Il m’a alors répondu : Vous savez comment vous pourriez faire ça? [RIRES DE M. SAWYER ET DU PUBLIC] Et, de fait, j’ai utilisé son scénario. Et il a immédiatement embarqué. Et, pendant que j’écrivais le roman, j’ai été ravi de pouvoir… Je cherchais une installation de calibre mondial et, contrairement à la période où j’ai commencé à écrire à la fin des années 1980, au début des années 2000, je pouvais choisir le décor de mes romans parmi des lieux qui existaient. Mais j’ai commencé par l’Observatoire de neutrinos de Sudbury parce que c’est vraiment une installation merveilleuse, incroyable. Passez par là si vous en avez la chance. Allez y jeter un coup d’œil. J’ai appris que le SNOLAB est équipé des toilettes à chasse les plus profondes au monde. Et je me sentais mal parce qu’il faut compter quatre heures pour descendre dans le SNOLAB. C’est le seul… Alors je me suis retenu. Je ne savais pas. J’aurais dû utiliser la toilette parce que j’aurais pu participer à ce record, n’est-ce pas? J’aurais pu dire : Wow! Je l’ai utilisée. C’est un peu comme aller au Louvre et ne pas voir La Joconde? D’une certaine façon, on passe à côté de l’essentiel. [NARRATEUR] Dans son œuvre de fiction, Robert Sawyer a souvent situé l’intrigue de ses romans dans des installations de recherche de calibre mondial. Pour son vingt-troisième roman, Quantum Night, il s’est inspiré du Centre canadien de rayonnement synchrotron établi à Saskatoon, en Saskatchewan. [ROBERT SAWYER] Ce choix allait de soi. Permettez-moi de vous lire un extrait du roman. [LECTURE] Kayla et moi sommes arrivés au Centre canadien de rayonnement synchrotron un peu après 9 h. J’ai remarqué avec amusement que l’adresse du centre, situé sur le campus de l’Université de la Saskatchewan, était… Quelle est cette adresse? [UN MEMBRE DU PUBLIC RÉPOND ET M. SAWYER RÉPÈTE] 44, boulevard Innovation! [IL POURSUIT LA LECTURE] Je suppose qu’il était difficile pour les autres entreprises établies dans cette rue d’être à la hauteur de ce que Kayla décrivait pendant qu’elle me faisait visiter. Un synchrotron, a-t-elle dit tandis que nous marchions, est un instrument incroyablement polyvalent; c’est le couteau suisse des accélérateurs de particules. On peut le régler de manière à réaliser à peu près n’importe quoi, ajuster la gamme d’énergie, la longueur d’onde, la résolution, la luminosité des photons et la taille des faisceaux. Les chercheurs ici travaillent dans toutes sortes de domaines : physique fondamentale, archéologie, géologie, botanique, nouvelles sources de carburant, science des matériaux. C’est incroyable de voir la quantité de recherches scientifiques exceptionnelles de calibre mondial menées ici. Et de constater comment des appareils conçus dans un but précis — comme c’étaient le cas pour le synchrotron et le SNOLAB — ont vu leur rôle s’étendre avec le temps. Qui aurait pu penser, au moment de la construction du synchrotron, qu’un de ses principaux domaines de recherche serait l’archéologie? C’est vraiment phénoménal ce qu’on arrive à faire une fois l’infrastructure en place. [NARRATEUR] Pour ses romans, Robert Sawyer s’est inspiré de grandes installations scientifiques situées aussi bien à l’échelle internationale — par exemple, le CERN, un laboratoire de physique des particules en Suisse — qu’au Canada, comme le département de paléontologie du Musée royal de l’Ontario à Toronto et l’accélérateur de particules TRIUMF à Vancouver. Il s’emploie, dans ses œuvres de fiction, à mettre en lumière les installations scientifiques canadiennes. [ROBERT SAWYER] Je ne vais jamais à l’extérieur des frontières du Canada, sauf quand les contraintes du récit m’y obligent. Par exemple, j’ai écrit le roman Un procès pour les étoiles. Ce drame judiciaire raconte l’histoire d’un extraterrestre accusé de meurtre. Aux États-Unis, le défendeur risque la peine de mort. Au Canada, il ferait seulement l’objet d’une sévère réprimande. J’ai donc dû situer l’intrigue aux États-Unis pour que les enjeux soient plus dramatiques. Mais dans toute autre circonstance, j’essaie de trouver une solution au Canada. Et au cours de ce siècle, j’y suis parvenu. [NARRATEUR] L’enthousiasme de M. Sawyer pour la science au Canada vient de son passé d’aspirant scientifique devenu écrivain. Il a vu se transformer la recherche au pays au cours des décennies. Il en parle dans un entretien après sa présentation. [ROBERT SAWYER] Selon moi, nous n’avons jamais fait mieux, mais cela ne veut pas dire que la recherche scientifique au Canada ne peut pas s’améliorer encore. Je crois que nous sommes sur une belle lancée. Nous avons eu un lauréat du prix Nobel de physique en 2018. Nous avons eu un prix Nobel de physique trois ans auparavant et je m’attends à voir de plus en plus de prix Nobel canadiens en sciences. Nous verrons aussi de plus en plus d’étudiants en sciences canadiens rester ici parce qu’ils ne trouveront pas mieux ailleurs. Parce que le SNOLAB est le meilleur endroit au monde pour mener des recherches fondamentales sur les particules. Le Centre canadien du rayonnement synchrotron est le meilleur endroit au monde pour réaliser tous ces travaux que permet un synchrotron. Notre brise-glace Amundsen est le meilleur endroit au monde pour mener des recherches sur l’Arctique. Nous avons non seulement les cerveaux les mieux formés, mais aussi les meilleures installations. Et ils nous permettront d’être reconnus sur la scène mondiale. [NARRATEUR] Cette vision optimiste de Robert Sawyer sur l’avenir de la science au Canada, on la retrouve aussi dans son approche de l’écriture de fiction. Pour lui, la science-fiction est un instrument qui peut influencer notre façon d’envisager l’avenir et le rôle de la recherche dans la construction de cet avenir. [ROBERT SAWYER] Si la science-fiction me passionne, ce n’est pas, comme on le croit souvent, parce qu’elle prédit l’avenir, car ce n’est pas notre rôle de prédire l’avenir. Notre travail consiste à laisser entrevoir la multiplicité des avenirs possibles, l’éventail de demains potentiels, afin que nous puissions nous dire : Mais c’est terrible! La surveillance omniprésente des citoyens, l’absence de vie privée, le manque de liberté. Nous ne voulons pas cela! Vous savez, c’est ce que George Orwell nous a rappelé. Ou encore, nous pouvons nous dire : Il existe plein de nouvelles technologies reproductrices, mais si nous laissons cela entre les mains des hommes… Margaret Atwood a écrit un roman de science-fiction à ce sujet – La servante écarlate, n’est-ce pas? Malheureusement, ces livres de science-fiction qui offrent des représentations dystopiques sont généralement plus faciles à écrire – Si les choses continuent comme cela, ça va aller très mal. Dans cet éventail de possibilités, j’ai voulu – c’est ce qui m’intéresse – trouver cet élément qui n’a pas encore été vu comme une proposition appétissante. Je veux montrer que si nous nous servons correctement de l’intelligence artificielle, nous pouvons nous donner ce monde qui sera meilleur pour tous. Si nous menons des recherches sur la génomique et la génétique et partageons l’information génétique dans un contexte de médecine socialisée, nous pourrons assurer une vie meilleure, plus longue, plus saine à l’ensemble de la population. Selon moi, quand la science-fiction met à profit sa nature spéculative pour proposer des perspectives positives, on peut stimuler les gens… et c’est tant mieux si je stimule mes lecteurs. Cela dit, c’est secondaire. Ça me permet de gagner ma vie, mais c’est secondaire. Ce qui est important, c’est que ces lecteurs se mobilisent pour faire bouger leurs représentants gouvernementaux et qu’ils leur disent : Voilà ce que nous voulons! Donnez-le nous! Donnez-nous une intelligence artificielle productive et sécuritaire! Donnez-nous une plus longue espérance de vie en bonne santé. Donnez-nous des moyens d’augmenter la rentabilité des récoltes comme jamais auparavant. Donnez-nous cet avenir. Ne nous donnez pas celui où les robots deviennent les maîtres du monde. Ne nous donnez pas celui où nous n’avons aucune liberté de reproduction. Ne nous donnez pas celui où nous n’avons plus de vie privée. Choisissez ces avenirs… Et je veux promouvoir les avenirs positifs que je connais… Parce que cela fait 150 ans, maintenant 151 ans, que nous travaillons dans ce pays à bâtir ces avenirs prospères. Et nous essayons de le faire pour tout le monde! Aucun autre pays sur la planète n’a une feuille de route comme la nôtre. [NARRATEUR] À la fin de sa présentation, Robert Sawyer rappelle aux chercheurs présents dans la salle le rôle qu’ils peuvent jouer dans l’avenir de la recherche au Canada. [ROBERT SAWYER] Mon écrivain de science-fiction préféré, Arthur C. Clark, a déjà dit : Toute technologie suffisamment avancée est indiscernable de la magie. Je ne crois pas que ce soit tout à fait vrai. Selon moi, si on s’engage trop loin dans la magie, on enfreint les lois connues de la physique, la conservation de la masse et de l’énergie. Mais je souscris à son idée selon laquelle plus la science évolue… Maintenant que nous sommes dans la seconde décennie du 21e siècle, songez à quel point nous avons évolué. Imaginez où nous en serons à la cinquième décennie, à la neuvième décennie de ce siècle. Plus la science évoluera, plus elle paraîtra miraculeuse au grand public. Les choses que nous sommes capables de faire. Vous, les chercheurs, obtenez le financement. Avec la FCI, vous disposez d’un formidable organisme auquel vous êtes redevable. Vous avez aussi une grande responsabilité envers vos collègues masculins et féminins. Vous devez veiller à prendre les bonnes décisions, tandis que nous avançons vers un merveilleux avenir dans lequel je pourrais moi-même être un scientifique si j’étais né aujourd’hui.

When a list of Canada's greatest prime ministers is compiled, Sir Wilfrid Laurier is usually near the top. While he did much for our country, he also put in place discriminatory immigration policies and may have had a son with the wife of his law partner. Today, I look at this interesting man.

TREK IT OUT by Jake Morgan Gersha Phillips on Star Trek Design This week, Star Trek.com advertised the final days of Star Trek: Discovery's Paley Center exhibit - Fight for the Future - by speaking with Costume Designer Gersha Phillips. In the 4 minute, 43 second video, Phillips spoke about re-designing the Talosians “The Talosians were a really cool species that we got to do, reimagining them from the TOS and the Original Pilot. My first design, one of the notes I got from Alex [Kurtzman]was to try to look at the original things and revamp them. So I did my very first design, one of the notes that I got from Alex [Kurtzman] was to try to look at the original things and revamp them. So I did my very first design, and he actually threw back to me and said ‘Can I go a little bit further and do what you do?'” Star Trek's costume designer also discussed the Red Angel suit, sighting Scarlett Johansen's “Ghost in the Shell” costume as inspiration. She continued, saying “When we were given the task, Mario [Moreira] came up with this idea of the propellor wings that would push her through time [...] and we had this whole other idea where we were gonna build - it was gonna be a pod - and then the angel suit would come out of the pod. [...] When we were first given it, it was said that the suit was a thousand years in the future, and then it turned out to be a suit that her mom was wearing from the past” Wallace Shawn Remembers the Grand Nagus Can you imagine the Ferengi without their Grand Nagus? The thought is inconceivable!  The capitalist species could have fallen victim to any number of classic blunders. The most famous of which is 'never get involved in a land war in Asia,' but only slightly less well known is...well, it doesn't matter! What we're REALLY talking about is the incomparable Wallace Shawn, and his portrayal of Top-Ferengi - Grand Nagus Zek. This week, the 75 year old New York native sat down with Star Trek.com to talk about his time on Deep Space Nine. Shawn told the site that he had never owned a television and only saw pieces of Star Trek: The Next Generation when in hotel rooms, but he was impressed ”I always thought, “Wow, the cinematography is so great and it's so interesting-looking, with these interesting-looking people and creatures.” So, when I was asked to do DS9, I was thrilled. I loved the idea.” Shawn also had kind words about Star Trek's fans, telling StarTrek.com “Star Trek fans are a particular group. They're very distinctive as people. There seem to be no evil Star Trek fans. They're a distinctly goodhearted group of people [...]. It's an interesting group of people.” Trek the Stars with “Antique Roadshow” If you like history, reality TV, or are just REALLY jonesing for some new small screen Star Trek representation, PBS might have something for you. This week, the long-running appraisal series - “Antique Roadshow” - is setting its sights on outer space. The episode, titled “Out of This World”, is part of PBS' “Summer of Space” promotion, and will feature signed memorabilia from Emilia Earhart, John Glenn, and Neil Armstrong - as well as production pieces from Star Trek! TV Guide's description of season 23's 19th episode reads “Space-themed treasures are featured, including NASA Space Program autographed photos; a 1737 celestial and terrestrial atlas; and a Star Trek treatment, script, and letters.” The Chicago Tribune also posted an interview with long-time “Antique Roadshow”  appraiser, Leila Dunbar. Sir Wilfrid Laurier's #SpockingFives Sir Wilfrid Laurier...are you out of your VULCAN MIND?!? Who is Sir Wilfrid Laurier, you may be asking?  Well, he is the first French-Canadian prime minister of the Dominion of Canada and the face of Canada's Five Dollar Bill - and he is being transformed into our beloved Mr. Spock. In a trend that is currently accompanying the hashtag SpockingFives, budding Canadian artists are drawing pointy ears, slanted eyebrows, and Star Fleet Deltas on the Canadian five dollar bill, turning the Former Prime Minister into a Vulcan first officer. While the act is technically NOT illegal, the Bank of Canada warns “there are important reasons why it should not be done. Writing on a bank note may interfere with the security features and reduces its lifespan. Markings on a note may also prevent it from being accepted in a transaction. Furthermore, the Bank of Canada feels that writing and markings on bank notes are inappropriate as they are a symbol of our country and a source of national pride.” STAR TREK ONLINE AND GAMING NEWS by Anthony Cox Free Pets & Master Keys for Console Players Console captains can now claim the free Rise of Discovery pack in their respective game stores.

The losses during Battle of Vimy triggered in Canada a demand for conscription that ultimately tore the country apart. Patrice Dutil discusses the reaction against conscription with Pierre Anctil, Professor of History at the University of Ottawa, focusing in particular on an editorial in Le Devoir by Henri Bourassa. It is drawn from the 2017 Champlain Society volume “Do what you Must”: Selected Editorials from Le Devoir under Henri Bourassa, 1910-1932. Le Devoir, June 6th, 1917. The Prime Minister obviously intents to impose conscription by a collation cabinet and by prolonging parliament once again. This plan reveals an incredible thoughtlessness in the circumstances. The government, the opposition and the entire Parliament have plunged the country into the European tempest, whereas no international commitment and no constitutional or moral obligation impose any other duty on Canada than to look after the defence of its own territory. The government decreed this participation in the European war in order to help England and its allies “destroy militarism” and “save democracy.” The entire Parliament ratified and acclaimed this “noble” project, Sir Robert Borden and his colleagues and Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his supporters outdid each other in repeating that just as participation was free and voluntary for the nation, it would remain free and voluntary for individuals. It was by promising verbally and in writing not to deviate from the principle of voluntary service that the Prime Minster obtained invaluable support from all sectors of society. By proposing conscription now, Sir Robert Borden is violating his most solemn promises; in the same manner as Bethmann-Hollweg, he is ripping up the “scraps of paper” that bear his stamp of approval and of entire parliament. With compulsory overseas service, Canada is being subject to a regime of “Prussian militarism.” If the Prime Minster persists in refusing to give the people the right to decide the question, he will be violating the fundamental principles of this “democracy” he want to “save”…I Europe with the blood of five hundred thousand Canadians! … It was never clear to me why Canada had a duty to bleed dry to “save democracy” in Europe, and even less so to impose democracy on the Germans, the Austrians or the Bulgarians. Nevertheless, the democratic regime is the system that has been established in Canada by law, the Constitution and in existence for a century already. If it were clearly demonstrated that “Wilhelm Hohenzollern” wants to overthrow this order of things and that he had any solid chance of implanting “Prussian militarism” in Canada, I would be the first to call to arms…and respond before forcing others to put their neck on the line. But what are we to think of these people who, for three years, have been inviting Canadians to join the voluntary democratic crusade against military autocracy, now are ready to impose on them the most odious form of militarism by violating the fundamental principles of democracy. Under the pretext of fighting the despotism of “divine right” monarchs, are Canadians going to let a handful of politicians without real responsibility impose a military oligarchy on themselves and establish a Tory, Grit or multi0coloured autocracy which would be an ephemeral dynasty lacking prestige, lacing force, lacing glory and lacking any historical and moral constitutional foundation? To hamper Wilhelm the Autocrat’s plans, which have yet to be demonstrated, are we going to allow Robert, the Stubborn, assuming he received the support of Wilfrid, The Conciliator, to risk our lives and also the Constitution and established order?

In this interview Canada’s History assistant editor, Beverley Tallon catches up with Roy MacSkimming, author of Laurier in Love, who shares his thoughts about Canada’s seventh prime minister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier. The first prime minister to come from French Canada, Laurier established the Canadian navy, provided free trade and reduced duty on several natural resources with the United States, and oversaw the creation of two new provinces and one territory.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier, septième premier ministre du Canada, a eu le plus long mandat ininterrompu. Il est considéré comme l’un des plus grands hommes politiques du Canada. Il avait énormément de charisme et il était charmant et passionné, qualités qui l’ont bien servi dans ses fonctions et dans sa vie personnelle. Cette passion se perçoit dans de nombreuses lettres qu’il a écrites à son épouse, Zoé. Mais peut-être pouvons-nous avoir une meilleure idée de son caractère grâce aux lettres qu’il a envoyées à Émilie Lavergne. Dans cet épisode, nous nous rendons à la Perth and District Union Library, à Perth, en Ontario. Nous y rencontrons M. Roy MacSkimming, auteur du roman historique Laurier in Love, pour avoir des éclaircissements sur ces lettres.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier had the largest unbroken term of office as Canada’s seventh prime minister. He was considered one of Canada’s greatest politicians, full of charisma, charm and passion, qualities that served him well in office, and also in his personal life. This passion is seen in many of the letters he wrote to his wife Zoé. But perhaps we gain a deeper insight into his character through his letters to Émilie Lavergne. In this episode, we traveled to the Perth and District Union Library, in Perth, Ontario. We sat down with Mr. Roy MacSkimming, author of the historical novel, Laurier in Love, to gain some insight into these letters.

Laurier LaPierre has written a biography of his hero, Canada's seventh Prime Minister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, his namesake. The book is called "Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the Romance of Canada". (Originally aired June 1997)
