Book excerpt: William Lyon Mackenzie King, twice former Prime Minister of Canada, was a brilliant tactician, was passionately committed to Canadian unity, and was a protector of the underdog, introducing such cornerstones of Canada’s social safety net as unemployment insurance, family allowances and old-age pensions. At the same time, he was insecure, craved flattery, became upset at minor criticism, and was prone to fantasy—especially about the Tory conspiracy against him. King loosened the Imperial connection with Britain and was wary of American military and economic power. Yet he loved all things British and acted like a praised schoolboy when British Prime Minister Winston Churchill or U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt treated him as an equal. This first major biography of Mackenzie King in 30 years mines the pages of his remarkable diary, at 30,000 pages one of the most significant and revealing political documents in Canada’s history and a guide to the deep and often moving inner conflicts that haunted Mackenzie King. With animated prose and a subtle wit, Allan Levine draws a multidimensional portrait of this most compelling of politicians.

Download or read book Unbuttoned written by Christopher Dummitt and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King died in 1950, the public knew little about his eccentric private life. In his final will King ordered the destruction of his private diaries, seemingly securing his privacy for good. Yet twenty-five years after King's death, the public was bombarded with stories about "Weird Willie," the prime minister who communed with ghosts and cavorted with prostitutes. Unbuttoned traces the transformation of the public’s knowledge and opinion of King's character, offering a compelling look at the changing way Canadians saw themselves and measured the importance of their leaders’ personal lives. Christopher Dummitt relates the strange posthumous tale of King's diary and details the specific decisions of King's literary executors. Along the way we learn about a thief in the public archives, stolen copies of King's diaries being sold on the black market, and an RCMP hunt for a missing diary linked to the search for Russian spies at the highest levels of the Canadian government. Analyzing writing and reporting about King, Dummitt concludes that the increasingly irreverent views of King can be explained by a fundamental historical transformation that occurred in the era in which King's diaries were released, when the rights revolution, Freud, 1960s activism, and investigative journalism were making self-revelation a cultural preoccupation. Presenting extensive archival research in a captivating narrative, Unbuttoned traces the rise of a political culture that privileged the individual as the ultimate source of truth, and made Canadians rethink what they wanted to know about politicians.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of W. L. Mackenzie King: Commissioner Appointed to Enquire Into the Methods by Which Oriental Labourers Have Been Induced to Come to Canada During the fiscal year 1905-6 there were, including new arrivals and returning immigrants, immigrants in all, and during the nine months (july to March) of the fiscal year 1906-7, of this latter number 607 came during the months of January to March, inclusive, which \would leave for the last six months of 1906. On a calculation such as the foregoing, without making any allowance for the number of Japanese who should properly be classed as former residents, or for such of the number as may have gone to the United States, returned permanently to Japan, or died in this country, it would appear that between and would represent more than could possibly have come to Canada from the time of the taking of the census of 1901, up to January, 1907. Speaking of emigration to the United States, Mr. W. M. Nice, a commissioner appointed 'by the United States government in 1899 to enquire into Japanese immigration, says in his report: I am of the opinion, through personal observation, that 90 per cent of the (japanese) emigrants to Canada find their way to the United States.' Without assuming any such proportion, but having regard only for conditions such as are generally known to exist and which it is reason able to take note of in an estimate of this kind, it would appear that the total increase in the Japanese immigration to Canada during that period did not reach Sup posing, however, that Japanese became residents of the province of British Columbia during this time, by adding this number to the total in the province at the time of the last census - which on the assumption that all Japanese included in the census of 1901 had remained in the provincewit would appear that the total number of Japanese in British Columbia at the beginning of 1907 would have been about I am inclined to think that the total number was considerably less than this. Assuming, however, that was the total Japanese population at the beginning of the year, it is not a matter of surprise that with the arrival at their shores of Japanese in the ten months following, the people of British Columbia and more especially the residents of Vancouver, should have experienced some concern, and that as vessel after vessel landed an ever-increasing number, until in fewer months than it had taken years to bring the Japanese population of British Columbia to what it was, this total was exceeded by new arrivals, that consternation should have been felt in many quarters. If anything more were needed to occasion unrest, it was to be found in the simultaneous arrival from the Orient of Hindus by the hundreds and Chinese in larger numbers than those of immediately preceding years. It was an alarm at numbers, and the cry of a white Canada was raised. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
