A Liberal-Labour Lady: The Times and Life of Mary Ellen Spear Smith
The inversion of “Life and Times” in the title of Veronica Strong-Boag's insightful biography of Mary Ellen Spear Smith speaks to a historical truism that individual lives can only be understood in context. This seems to be particularly so in the case of Mary Ellen Smith. Her story speaks to the particular conjunction of class and gender politics in Britain and Canada in the decades spanning the turn of the twentieth century. Remembered as the fi…

The Speech Bill Pritchard Never Gave
The Speech Bill Pritchard Never Gave James Naylor and Tom Mitchell A half-century after his 1920 trial and conviction for seditious conspiracy, William Arthur Pritchard was invited by the "faculty and student body" of the University of Winnipeg to return to the city to tell his story of the dramatic legal aftermath of the Winnipeg General Strike. The talk never took place, however, because "the keeper of the money bags" at the university "had cut…
Toronto’s Poor: A Rebellious History by Bryan D. Palmer and Gaétan Héroux
Toronto’s Poor is rooted in recent history. Since 1990, the Ontario Coalition against Poverty (OCAP) has waged an extraordinarily dynamic struggle against subordination, marginalization, and inequality in Toronto. Based in poor communities, it has from the outset chosen a path of militancy, seeking through “direct action casework” (312) to win concrete gains and demonstrating through collective action the systemic roots of poverty. The strategy h…

Socialism for a New Generation: Ccf Youth in the Popular Front Era
In the 1930s, the Co-operative Commonwealth Youth Movement attempted to rally young people to the cause of socialism and the ccf. In doing so, they revealed much about the emerging political and social culture of youth coming of age during the Great Depression and their relationship to “adult” socialists whose ideas had been formulated before and during the labour revolt of 1919. Perhaps most importantly, they wrestled with the challenges of poli…

Prairie Fire Fizzles
WHAT COULD REASONABLY be asked of film produced in 1999 on the Winnipeg General Strike? It should reflect the current state of the historiography; should be sensitive to the discourse deployed by the participants in the strike and those who commented in 1919 and later — including historians; should invite the viewer to approach the strike with an open yet analytical perspective; and finally should avoid simple-minded narratives, gratuitous assess…

Workers and the State: Experiments in Corporatism after World War One
In September 1919, seventy-two employers and seventy nine trade union leaders faced each other across the floor of Canada's august Senate Chamber. Deep differences among the delegates to the National Industrial Conference did little to dispel their common sense of participation in an event of historic proportions. Readily apparent to all was the symbolism of representatives of the two great social classes of industrial Canada squaring-off in deba…
