Collaborative work is welcome.

We anticipate that the volume will include chapters on the following topics or on related matters: the administration of the Canadian War Measures Act and military justice in the second World War; developments during the Cold War including the Gouzenko Affair, the Official Secrets Act and the Emergency Powers Act 1951; organized labour and the resort to political policing and criminal proceedings; indigenous assertions of rights and resistance to continuing Canadian state impingement; national unity and Felquiste trials (Front de Libération du Québec) 1962-72; and the aftermath of the October Crisis 1970, and the McDonald Royal Commission.
