Introduction : a "Canadian" Bill of Rights -- Civil liberties and civil libertarians from the Depression to World War II, 1929-42 -- A change in strategy : the first demands for a national Bill of Rights, 1943-47 -- Canada and the United Nations International Bill of Rights -- Expansion and contraction : the frustration of the Bill of Rights movement, 1948-52 -- The decade of human rights and the Bill of Rights movement -- Success of a sort : the Diefenbaker Bill of Rights -- "A mere scrap of paper"?
"Toward the Charter looks at the evolution of human rights in Canada through Canadian efforts to entrench a bill of rights in the constitution. The important roles played by parliamentarians such as John Diefenbaker and academics such as F. R. Scott are placed alongside those of trade unionists, women, and a long list of individuals representing Canada's multicultural groups to reveal the diversity of the bill of rights movement. At the same time MacLennan weaves Canadian-made arguments for a bill of rights with ideas from the international human rights movement led by the United Nations to show that the Canadian experience can only be understood within a wider, global context."--BOOK JACKET.
