The lower Churchill River has been an important travel route for people living in its vicinity for a long period of time. Churchillians’ have used it for subsistence harvesting, as their potable water source and as a place of recreation and relaxation. Previous research has documented the importance of the Churchill River to the residents and has explored how the Churchill River Diversion affected the community of Churchill (Boothroyd, 1992; 2000; Four Directions Consulting Group, 1994; 1995). The purpose of this project was to identify how Churchill residents used the lower Churchill River (from 1970 to 2006), recognizing three distinct periods of time. Twenty interviews were conducted with former or current long-term residents of Churchill, as well as two interviews with experts on issues concerning the lower Churchill River. Many interviewees stated that additional negotiations and measures are required before they deem the mitigation compensation package from Manitoba Hydro to be adequate considering the impact of the diversion on the residents of Churchill.

Bien plus que l’expression d’un style dans l’art du dessin politique au XXème siècle, David Low, caricaturiste britannique d’origine néo-zélandaise, s’érigea en conscience face à la montée des périls totalitaires en Europe et dans le reste du monde. Son rôle d’artiste engagé s’inscrit dans l’histoire politique de la Grande-Bretagne contemporaine. Le travail de cette recherche est articulé sur deux axes principaux. D’une part, allant au-delà d’un exercice de lecture et d’interprétation sur l’image et la représentation des caricatures de Low, il analyse les relations de l’artiste avec le pouvoir politique, entre les années 1930 et l’émergence du national-socialisme allemand, jusqu’à la victoire finale des Alliés contre le Troisième Reich, en mai 1945. D’autre part, il étudie le rôle du caricaturiste en tant que « résistant » artistique, à la fois dans son propre pays, contre les effets des politiques « d’apaisement », et sur la scène internationale dans la lutte contre l’Axe. Comment s’est déclenchée cette forme de contestation ? Quelles en furent les caractéristiques ? Comment son opposition s’est-elle organisée ? Quelle en fut l’évolution au cours de la décennie de « paix froide » et pendant la guerre ? Ainsi, s’agira-t-il de préciser la nature et l’importance des cadres dans lesquels l’artiste a oeuvré pendant plus de quinze ans, puis d’évaluer la réalité des contraintes auxquelles il dut faire face, dans son combat contre Hitler et le national-socialisme. / More than the expression of a style in the art of political cartoons during the twentieth century, David Low, British cartoonist, New-Zealander by birth, set up himself as a conscience against the rise of the risks of totalitarianism in Europe and in the rest of the world. His role as committed artist is inscribed on the political history of contemporary Great-Britain. The study of this research is organized into two main thrusts. On the one hand, beyond the reading and the interpretation both of the image and the representation in Low’s cartoons, it analyses the relationship between the artist and the political power, from the 1930’s and the emergence of National Socialism in Germany, to the final victory of the Allies against the Third Reich, in May, 1945. On the other hand, it studies the role of the cartoonist as an artistic “freedom fighter”, both in his own country, against the effects of the “appeasement” policies, and on the international scene in his fight against the Axes. How did this kind of objection start? What were its main characteristics? How was his opposition organized? What was its evolution during the decade of “cold peace” and during the war? Thus, the aim will be to precise the nature and the importance of the environment in which the artist worked during more than fifteen years, and to estimate the reality of the constraints he had to face, in his fight against Hitler and National Socialism.

Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Franklin Roosevelt inspired the Allies with memorable speeches in their fight against the Axis Powers during World War II. These speeches resulted from their personalities, preparation, and correspondence; and the speeches directed Allied conduct and challenged Axis aggression. The speeches examined here pertain to Lend-Lease in November, 1940-March, 1941. The author consulted the collections of Churchill's and Roosevelt's speeches and correspondence and drew from memoirs and newspapers. The first two chapters examine Churchill and Roosevelt's rhetorical abilities; the third chapter looks at how their correspondence shaped their speeches; and the fourth chapter looks at the Lend-Lease rhetoric. Roosevelt and Churchill's speeches contributed to the success of the Lend-Lease bill and strengthened the Anglo-American alliance. Their words and actions led to the emergence of America as the leader in the alliance and affected Hitler's perception of the Anglo-American relationship and policy.

This research paper was submitted to the Department of Geography in fulfilment of the requirements of Geography 4C6. / This research details the presence of the land/ sea breeze circulation system near Churchill, Manitoba. Data collected from June 6 to August 13, 1987 were analyzed with respect to wind direction, temperature and vapour pressure to determine the effects of the system on the climate. Results indicate that there is a seasonal progression in wind frequency from dominantly onshore (42% of the time) to dominantly mixed winds (75% of the time). The frequency of the land/ sea breeze increases across the season. Smaller wind velocities, colder temperatures and larger vapour pressures are associated with onshore winds, while offshore winds have greater velocities, higher temperatures, and smaller vapour pressures. Offshore winds are 5-7°C warmer than onshore winds. The sea breeze is larger than the land breeze by a 3:2 ratio. / Thesis / Bachelor of Arts (BA)
