Dear Student,
I shall assume that you have a general knowledge of Canadian history from the Pre-colonial Days to the present. This is important because the state of organization and general ideas on social identity, security, loyalty and administration influence the eventual change from post-war consent towards 'coercion ' in the 70's & 80's.

Sincerely,
OTA 105878/Xenia Jones
