Answer ONE of them: Dissect the myth of Canada as a nation of peacekeepers. Why is “Canada as a nation of peacekeepers” so central to much of Canada’s self-identity? Why does Canada contribute so little to UN peacekeeping, especially troops? Hunter McGill (Textbook, Chapter 4) depicts Canada’s aid program as having long been inconsistent in terms of its priorities, its countries of focus, the channels through which it is provided (bilateral, multilateral or via NGOs) and the volumes of aid Canada has delivered. Is this a fair depiction of Canada’s aid program over the decades? Does Canada’s aid program under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau since 2015 fit this pattern or depart from it? What is new and not so new about the Trudeau government’s aid program? Lacking a large military and possessing only modest economic resources, Canada has often preferred to use “soft power” to influence international norms, often through multilateral channels. Describe and analyse how and why Canada took a leadership role using soft power in one of the following cases: The Ottawa Convention on anti-personnel landmines OR the Montreal Protocol on the reduction of the ozone layer. Analyse Canada’s role as a colonial power with respect to Indigenous peoples. Compare Canada’s policies towards Indigenous peoples under any three of the following Prime Ministers: John Diefenbaker, Pierre Trudeau, Stephen Harper, Justin Trudeau. What has (not) changed over the years and why?
