halted the British invasion and returned to Canada. Carleton himself cited in a letter to Lord Germain on October 14, 1776, “The season is so far advanced…whether any thing further can be done this year” as a factor for not continuing. He ordered Crown Point to be abandoned and had the invasion force fall back to Quebec to the dismay of British officials in London. The reason sited by Carleton was a valid factor in his return to Quebec. A British military policy…

Sunday morning, after Mass in the chapel he had installed in Rideau Hall when he began his term of office, he died. Vanier was the nineteenth person to hold the office of Governor-General of Canada and the first French-Canadian to do so. When, on Sept. 15, 1959, Georges Vanier took office as governor general of Canada he spoke words that were seen as admirable at the time but sound dated in today’s secular context. “My first words are a prayer,” said the career soldier and former diplomat: “May…

discuss the issue of sexual assault in the military. Sexual assault remains a persistent problem in the military, with more than 20,000 active duty service members experiencing unwanted sexual contact in 2014, and sexual assaults even occurring in combat environments. The estimations of sexual assaults that occur during military service range from 9.5 % to 43 % among women and 1 to 12 % among men. In the most recent survey of sexual assault in the military, 4.9 % of active duty women and 1.0 %…

Canada has obtained some pretty desirable stereotypes over its short lifetime. Canada has earned a great reputation through its many desirable actions. In both wars Canada proved herself a tough and worthy opponent, as well as supplying a great deal for the Second World War effort, but also made some ethically questionable decisions that cost the lives of thousands. Canada is also known as a country that is accepting of all cultures and groups, but this was not always so. Does Canada deserve its…

The thought of absolute power was phasing out, and Mackenzie’s idea of responsible government became very appealing among many. William Lyon Mackenzie has played a very important role in Canada’s history, whether it has been his fight against the Family Compact, his effort in the Upper Canada rebellion though tragic, or his return to legislature upon returning to…

as no surprise for most people to hear that North Korea has threatened the United States or sometimes even Canada. But what seems strange about this is that no one seems to talk much about how we got into this position with the DPRK. The reason is of course due all the way back in the Korean war. When the US and Canada and other UN nations got involved, it became an extremely deadly war. Canada sent 27,000 soldiers, as well as eight naval vessels and a squadron of transport aircrafts, while…

had to do extra work from racist undertones. Perhaps seeing that the history could be different than the book details. During the first world war, an estimated 4000 Aboriginal people voluntarily enlisted into the Canadian military. One third of First Nations people in Canada age 18 to 45 enlisted, along with Inuit and Métis who were not recorded by the Canadian Expeditionary Force seeing as they were…

four enemy airplanes without being shot down. After some time, and shooting down a total of 72 enemy planes, Bishop was promoted to major, and became in command of the 85th Squadron. In October 1918, after Bishop had done his duty, he returned to Canada with his wife. Unfortunately, war broke out again in 1939. Bishop took flying lessons in order to regain his license, he had kept his connection with the RCAF since world war one. Instead of fighting, though, Bishop became in charge of…
