Show detail Hide detail

Senators John R. Haig of Winnipeg and Athanase David of Montreal deliver speeches supporting the adoption of a resolution now before the Senate that would provide uniform Canadian history books for all Canadian schools.~John Haig believes that such a book would promote a spirit of unity. There is currently a deplorable lack in the teaching of Canadian history and current affairs. He cites a survey taken among one province's collegiate institutes that demonstrates ignorance of Canadian students regarding Canadian history. History alone can make us love our country by giving us a record of our past that is also a guide to the future. He grants the difficulty of drafting a history acceptable to all, but supports A. David's resolutions before the Senate.~Athanase David says that education is the key factor in the future of the country: "if differences in language, religion and national origin make unity impossible, surely we have the foresight to establish something which, though quite different from unity, is highly desirable, namely, a beautiful and comprehensive fraternity". He talks about the need for a change in the teaching of Canadian history, and the need for new text. He quotes Dorothy Thompson from an article of February 1943 entitled "A Suggestion for Peace", and cites examples of French history missing in English Canadians' education, and vice versa, that should be included. Without a better understanding of our history, the dominion of Canada might be endangered.~Music concludes the broadcast. <30mn>
