Senator Joe McCarthy

Senate hearing on unamerican activities

Gen. Eisenhower talks to airborne prior to "D" Day

Rt. Hon. Lester B. Pearson
Since then we have tumbled along from crisis to crisis, but we Canadians (Canadians are themselves not a nation, that is why their extreme difficulty in coming to a definition of what is a Canadian because we are in essence, a multi-national, multi-cultural community of people sharing a federal government) have taken enormous pride and comfort from knowing that our people, Canada’s representative to the United Nations was presented with the Nobel Peace prize for establishing the first peace keeping force to separate the warring factions in the Middle East. The Korean conflict was not the United States versus North Korea, it was the United Nations versus North Korea supported by China and Russia. When American interests in South East Asia seemed to be threatened, the United States began an action there, acting on its own. It exerted extreme pressure on Canada to join in the conflict and three of Canada’s prime ministers, one after another told the US President it was inappropriate for action to be taken there and we already had observers with Poland and India, dogging bullets trying to supervise the un-peace along the DMZ that had been established when the French withdrew. America decided to go it alone, Australia and South Korea gave a hand but world opinion and soon American public opinion did not share the attitude of the leaders of this massive nation state.
