1950s Canada: Politics and Public Affairs Wiseman Nelson
While the 1950s in Canada were years of social conformity, it was also a time of political, economic, and technological change. The life expectancy of Canadians increased as the social pathologies of poverty, crime, and racial, ethnic, and gender discrimination were in retreat. Against a background of growing prosperity, federal and provincial politics became increasingly competitive, intergovernmental relations became more contentious, and Canada's presence in the world expanded.
Chronicling the themes and events of Canadian politics and public affairs during the 1950s, Nelson Wiseman reviews social, economic, and cultural developments during each year of the decade, focusing on developments in federal politics, intergovernmental relations, provincial affairs, and 1950s Canada illuminates the fault lines around which Canadian politics and public affairs have revolved.
