Notes

Library and Archives Canada (hereafter LAC), Diaries of William Lyon Mackenzie King (www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/politics-government/prime-ministers/william-lyon-mackenzie-king/Pages/search.aspx), entry for Tuesday, June 29, 1937. On King’s summit with Hitler, see R. Teigrob, Four Days in Hitler’s Germany: Mackenzie King’s Mission to Avert a Second World War, Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2019; R.H. Keyserlingk, “Mackenzie King’s Spiritualism and His View of Hitler in 1939,” Journal of Canadian Studies, 20:4, Winter 1985–1986, pp. 26–44.

On King’s spiritualism see C. Dummit, Unbuttoned: A History of Mackenzie King’s Secret Life, Montreal: McGill-Queens University Press, 2017.

In keeping with recent historiography, this paper prefers the term “British Canadian” to “English Canadian.”

The origins of the phrase, widely used in Canadian historiography, are obscure. The best history of King’s government in wartime remains J.L. Granatstein, Canada’s War: The Politics of the Mackenzie King Government, 1939–1945, Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1990.
