THE GREAT CANADIAN OLIGARCHY deals with the future of freedom in Canada. The text focuses on the redefinition of our freedoms as our Charter of Rights and Freedoms is being applied to our culture? How is our nation an oligarchy? How are the following six concepts being redefined? Will this redefinition produce a free people? 1. The role the Supremacy of God as understood in our history has been negated. 2. The historic concept of the rule of law is being subjected to secular redefinition. 3. The guarantee of freedom of religion and speech is being subjected to redefinition. 4. Our historic property rights have been effectively abolished. 5. Our historic guarantee to right to life has been subjected to secular redefinition. 6. The Charter binds our nation to multiculturalism which is a failed social model. We as Canadians are faced with one of two choices. We can either return to the founding concept of a recognition of the supremacy of God or succumb to the destructive consequences of a culturalized religious atheism. The future of freedom lies in the choice made.

Polarity, Patriotism, and Dissent in Great War Canada, 1914-1919

Compared to the idea that Canada was a nation forged in victory on Vimy Ridge, the reality of dissent and repression at home strikes a sour note. Through censorship, conscription, and internment, the government of Canada worked more ruthlessly than either Great Britain or the United States to suppress opposition to the war effort during the First World War. Polarity, Patriotism, and Dissent in Great War Canada, 1914-1919 examines the basis for those repressive policies. Brock Millman, an expert on wartime dissent in both the United Kingdom and Canada, argues that Canadian policy was driven first and foremost by a fear that opposition to the war amongst French Canadians and immigrant communities would provoke social tensions - and possibly even a vigilante backlash from the war's most fervent supporters in British Canada. Highlighting the class and ethnic divisions which characterized public support for the war, Polarity, Patriotism, and Dissent in Great War Canada, 1914-1919 offers a broad and much-needed reexamination of Canadian government policy on the home front.
