Canada and the Cold War

Abstract: A 9 page research paper that discusses political issues in Canada during the early cold war era. There is a prevalent Canadian national ideology that Canada is 'altruistic, nice, unmilitary and without territorial ambition' (Dawson, 2003, p. 629). In his review of a text by S.M. Maloney, Dawson (2003) relates that Maloney's thesis in this work is that this idea originates with the idea that Canada's approach to maintaining national security during the Cold War revolved peacekeeping and the nation's role in UN peacekeeping missions (Dawson, 2003). This attack on the image of Canada naturally brings up numerous questions about the reality of Canadian life during the Cold War era. How well did Canada live up to the ideology of its image? Bibliography lists 8 sources.
