Canada between Vichy and Free France, 1940-1945

By: Olivier Courteaux

The relationship between Canada and France has always been complicated by the Canadian federal government's relations with Quebec. In this first study of Franco-Canadian relations during the Second World War, Olivier Courteaux demonstrates how Canada's wartime foreign policy was shaped by the country's internal divides. As Courteaux shows, Quebec's vocal nationalist minority came to openly support France's fascist Vichy regime and resented Canada's involvement in a 'British' war, while English Canada was largely sympathetic to de Gaulle's Free French movement and accepted its duty to aid embattled Mother Britain. Meanwhile, on the world stage, Canada deftly juggled ties with both French factions to appease Great Britain and the United States before eventually giving full support to the Free French movement. Courteaux concludes this extensively detailed study by illustrating Canada's vital role in helping France reassert its position on the global stage after 1944. Filled with international intrigue and larger-than-life characters, Canada between Vichy and Free France adds greatly to our comprehension of Canada's foreign relations and political history.

The War on Terror

The Canadian Dilemma

By: Olivier Courteaux

On the morning of September 12, 2001, the bold banner headline in the French daily Le Monde - We Are All Americans - fairly summed up the prevailing mood in much of the world. The destruction of the World Trade Center was greeted with shock, disbelief and widespread condemnation." So begins Dr. Olivier Courteaux's landmark assessment of Canada's role in the U.S.-declared global "War on Terror." On the 8th anniversary of George W. Bush's declaration of this global war, Canada is reassessing its participation within the scope of its national security interests, which are at times in conflict with those of the United States. How does Canada affirm its national sovereignty while it reassesses and redefines its place in the international community and its involvement in this continuing war?
