The good fight : Marcel Cadieux and Canadian diplomacy
\"Before official bilingualism was established in 1969, francophones were scarce in the Canadian public service. Marcel Cadieux was one of the few, becoming arguably the most important francophone diplomat and civil servant in Canadian history. Brendan Kelly's insightful, entertaining biography reveals a complex figure. Born in 1915 to a Montreal letter carrier who believed that \"having a son in Ottawa is like having a daughter who is a prostitute,\" Cadieux held the nationalist views of many young French Canadians in the 1930s. Yet he made the distinctly unconventional decision to join the Department of External Affairs in 1941. Against the backdrop of rising Quebec separatism and the Cold War, he headed the department from 1964 to 1970 and served as Canada's first francophone ambassador to the United States from 1970 to 1975. Drawing on Cadieux's unpublished diary--where this blunt, witty, strong-minded man was at his most unguarded--The Good Fight offers a unique window to domestic and foreign events and personalities whose legacies are still being debated. Cadieux believed deeply in the dignity of public service, writing several books on this theme. The principles reflected in his career still speak eloquently to readers today, when professionalism and expertise are often undervalued.\"-- Provided by publisher.

The politician and the civil servant
This article uses the experience of Marcel Cadieux, the Canadian under-secretary of state for external affairs at the time, as a lens through which to understand the adaptation of the Department of External Affairs to the government of Pierre Trudeau during its first year-and-a-half in power. Drawing on Cadieux’s private papers, especially his diary, and other archival sources, it explores the prime minister’s attitude toward senior civil servants, his personality, and the review of national defence policy undertaken by the bureaucracy at his request. It concludes that the difference between Pierre Trudeau and Marcel Cadieux was essentially that between the brilliant politician who sought to redefine government and the consummately professional civil servant who believed in his department’s traditional role.

MPP threatens to drop bombshell
All eyes in this quiet city of 46,000 will be on the Ontario legislature this week to see if Conservative backbencher [Tory Garry Guzzo] makes good on a threat to identify several prominent locals he believes are linked to a purported pedophile ring spanning decades. Guzzo's plan to read the names in the legislature -- where parliamentary privilege protects him from any civil liability -- also makes [Marcel Cadieux] wary, he said. Whether Guzzo's information is accurate or not, the whole affair is dredging up painful memories for the community, Cadieux added.

Quelle horreur! The new `disorder' in French cuisine: Even in France the chefs are cooking green asparagus
This spring we decided to go to Aix en Provence, specifically timed for the white asparagus season. My son, a reliable gourmand, warned us that the French had gone insane and the great chefs were cooking green asparagus. He explained it was but one manifestation of \"the new disorder\" in French cuisine. White asparagus. [Allan] wept. Old France still existed. He lingered over stalls stuffed with [Marcel Cadieux]'s totem poles, huge white ones, their tips stained purple, the best kind. Asperges de Cavaillon. The night of our arrival we went to a restaurant that had just received its second Michelin star. Its speciality was asparagus. We ordered, the waiters lifted two silver domes, to reveal -- green asparagus. For a moment I thought Allan was going to strike his waiter. My French is better than his.
