CHC2D Ch. 11.3 Canadian Peacekeeping
Canada promoted world peace in several ways during the Cold War era:
1) Canadians developed peaceful nuclear technology and nuclear reactors to provide energy while limiting nuclear proliferation. Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd was established to regulate nuclear research.
2) Canada successfully launched scientific satellites like Alouette 1, advancing space research without engaging in the military space race between the US and USSR.
3) During the 1956 Suez Crisis, Canadian minister Lester B. Pearson helped resolve the conflict through persuasive diplomacy and the establishment of the first UN peacekeeping force, winning him the Nobel Peace Prize.
CHC2D Canadian HistoryCh. 11.1
The Cold War emerged after World War II and divided the world into capitalist and communist blocs led by the United States and Soviet Union respectively. As the two superpowers stockpiled nuclear weapons without direct conflict, tensions were high. Canada played a middle power role by mediating international issues and sharing intelligence through espionage. The threat of mutually assured destruction kept nuclear weapons from being used but consumed resources in an arms race until tensions eased with the Cold War's end in the late 1980s.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
