"The Fredericton Internment Camp, also known as Camp B or Camp 70, was the only barbed-wire compound of its kind in
Eastern Canada during World War II. Various refugees, prisoners of war, and Canadian suspects were detained at Ripples, New
Brunswick, under the care of the Canadian Provost Corps and the Veterans Guard of Canada. Volume One of this work is concerned
with the European refugees who fled from Nazi oppression, only to be arrested in England, shipped across the ocean, and
imprisoned in the wilderness of a New Brunswick forest, ironically, upon their release, many remained in North America to become
prominent citizens." Volume Two of this work is concerned with two distinct groups: the enemy inside Canada and the enemy
merchant seamen.

HMCS Bonaventure (CVL 22) was a Majestic class aircraft
carrier. She served in the Royal Canadian Navy and Canadian
Forces Maritime Command from 1957 to 1970 and was the third
and the last aircraft carrier to serve Canada. The ship was laid
down for the British Royal Navy as HMS Powerful in November
1943. At the end of World War II, work on the ship was suspended
in 1946. At the time of purchase, it was decided to incorporate
new aircraft carrier technologies into the design. Bonaventure
never saw action during her career having only peripheral, noncombat roles. However, she was involved in major NATO fleet-atsea patrol during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Goldwin Smith D. C. L., LL.D. (August 13, 1823 - June 7, 1910) was a British historian and
journalist, active in the United Kingdom and Canada. He always maintained that Canada,
separated by great barriers, running north and south, into four zones, each having unimpeded
communication with the adjoining portions of the United States, was a profoundly artificial and
badly governed nation, that was destined by its natural configuration to enter into a commercial
union with the US. This would in turn result in her breaking away from the British Empire, and
in the union of the Anglo-Saxons of the American continent into one great nation. These views
are most fully stated in his Canada and the Canadian Question (1891).

Robert Boyd Russell (October 31, 1889, Glasgow - September 25, 1964, Winnipeg) was a
Labour organizer and politician in Manitoba, Canada. He was a prominent figure in the Winnipeg
General Strike of 1919, and was later the leader of Winnipeg's One Big Union. During the
Winnipeg General Strike, he became a prominent figure in the Strike Committee which managed
most city affairs. After the strike was suppressed, Russell and other strike leaders were arrested on
charges of seditious conspiracy. He was the first of the strikers to go to trial, and was sentenced to
a two year term at Stony Mountain Federal Penitentiary. Many observators at the time, and many
since, have regarded the charges against the strike leaders as unjust and politically motivated.
