The image many Canadians have of their history is one of compromise, complacency, and of giving in to authority. In actual fact, Canadian history is filled with mass protests. This course focuses on different groups who staged mass protests in the period 1870-1995, including movements to purify “evil” Canadian society, the women’s movement, anti-conscription protests in two world wars, anti-Asian protests in British Columbia, regional protests in eastern and western Canada, nationalist protests in Quebec, and First Nations protests.
