This book examines the history of Canadian human rights activists and their work from 1930 to 1960, the period before the rise of contemporary human rights groups. The book features the contributions of many civil society organizations and newspaper files, as well as interviews with former political activists. In Repression and Resistance, Lambertson demonstrates that a few Canadians were “Craig Kielburger” to become activists and that different human right groups operated in parallel and often clashed with one another.

While the first human rights group was based in the United States, Canadians were not so quick to recognize the importance of these activists. Until the late 1950s, there were no laws protecting human rights in Canada. However, the efforts of Canadians to protect the human right to life grew. The government responded by passing a variety of laws aimed at enforcing these rights. In 1960, John Diefenbaker introduced the Canadian Bill of Rights, which only applied to federal laws. In 1962, provincial governments implemented a more effective human-rights code and established an Ontario Human-Rights Commission. Language-rights legislation was delayed until 1965, with the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms.
The history of human rights activism in Canada has a complicated history. In the past, the protection of human rights was limited to specific issues, while the promotion of other causes was more prevalent. Today, there are laws recognizing Canadians’ fundamental rights, such as the right to work freely and live a free life. But this doesn’t mean that Canada has no history of human rights activism. The country has a long and proud history of activism.
