Focusing on the particular thought of ultra-conservative Ukrainian Canadian Walter J. Bossy during his time in Montreal (1931-1970s), this book demonstrates that the idea that Canada was composed of three equally important groups emerged from a context defined by reactionary ideas on ethnic diversity and integration. Two broad questions shape this research: first, what the meaning originally attached to the idea of a 'third force' was, and what the intentions behind the conceptualization of a trichotomic Canada were; and second, whether Bossy's understanding of the 'third force' precedes, or is related in any way to, postwar debates on liberal multiculturalism at the core of which was the existence of a 'third force'. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of multiculturalism, radical-right ideology and the far right, and Canadian history and politics"-- OP 179 NO Includes bibliographical references (pages 158-172) and index CN HM1271 SN 9781032250892 SN 9781032254692 K1 Multiculturalism : Canada : History : 20th century K1 Right and left (Political science) : Canada : History : 20th century K1 Ukrainians : Canada
