Ambiguously Hip: The Tragically Hip and Canadian Nationalism
The Tragically Hip are a remarkable, indeed unique, phenomenon in Canadian popular music. Their 2016 final tour, undertaken after lead singer Gordon Downie was diagnosed with brain cancer, spectacularly reinforced longstanding perceptions of a privileged link between the band’s music and Canadian national identity. This article probes this connection, asking why deeply ambiguous and often critical references to Canada sufficed to raise The Hip to…
The jealous god: A problem in the definition of nationalism
Scholarly definitions of nationalism often characterize the nation as the supreme object of loyalty (a ‘jealous god’). Such restrictive definitions are unwise because they needlessly exclude a wide range of pro-national beliefs and practices. Demonstrating this, however, is harder than often thought, because the close linkage between nation and jurisdiction seems to entail a prioritization of national attachment over other identities. More plural…

Secession and self: Quebec in Canadian thought
Secession and Self goes beyond debates over the economic and institutional effects of Quebec separation to look at the normative dimensions of resistance to secession. Drawing from Charles Taylor, James Tully, and many others, Gregory Millard explores the central role Quebec plays in ideas of what makes Canada worthwhile. He argues that a break with Quebec would impair Canada's ability to realize ideals such as liberalism, fraternity, and develop…
Reply to Stephen Brooks
We would like to thank Professor Stephen Brooks for his insightful and considered reading of our paper. He has correctly identified the gist of our argument which, in its simplest form, is that Canadian nationalism is much louder and more abrasive than traditional myths would suggest. But some his comments prompt us to refine and clarify a few points. First, Professor Brooks wonders whether the phenomenon we identify is at all new, or whether Can…

Insofar as do love runs the conventional thinking, they tend not to show it. Few deny that Canadian nationalism has existed in a variety of forms.

The Secession Reference and National Reconciliation: A Critical Note
In its judgement on the constitutionality of a unilateral declaration of independence by Quebec, the Supreme Court claimed to be guided by the implicit or explicit constitutional principles of democracy, federalism, rule of law, and respect for minorities. French-English duality, as part of a “multination” conception of Canada, was not among these, despite being crucially implicit in the Court's reasoning. Had the principle of duality been articu…
