Historienne etécrivaine canadienne de réputation internationale, Margaret MacMmillan abordela Première Guerre mondiale et ses répercussions paradoxales sur le Canada dansson discours prononcé en 2018 lors de la remise de la médaille Symons etintitulé Le lionceau. Avec son stylecaractéristique et son talent inné de narratrice, Margaret MacMillan a révéléle paradoxe saisissant de l'expérience canadienne durant la Première Guerremondiale. En effet, si la Grande Guerre, comme on l'appelait à l'époque, asensibilisé le Canada à l'idée de nation et a conféré à bon nombre de Canadiensun sentiment accru d'identité, elle a aussi symbolisé une époque où laConfédération canadienne fut fortement ébranlée et faillit même se désagréger. De plus, les risques de fracture résultant de la Grande Guerre perdurèrentdurant tout le XXe siècle. Et aujourd'hui encore, ses effetscontinuent de se faire sentir dans la vie politique nationale canadienne, particulièrement dans les relations entre le Québec et le reste du pays. Pourtant, le Canada asurvécu et continue de survivre. Selon Margaret MacMillan, c'est d'ailleurs laplus grande force de la Confédération canadienne. Dans son ouvrage intitulé Le lionceau, elle suggère quel'endurance et la résilience du Canada devraient être impérativement reconnuesà leur juste valeur. Dans un monde où les frontières politiques sont souventaussi artificielles que celles du Canada, la capacité à survivre et à prospérerde notre « pays improbable » est un brillant exemple d'espoir pour unmonde plus vaste et plus divers. La médaille Symons est une des récompenses honorifiquesles plus prestigieuses du Canada. Chaque année, elle est remise par le Centredes arts de la Confédération à une personne distinguée en reconnaissance de sacontribution exceptionnelle à la vie canadienne.Édition bilingue-In TheLion's Cub, her 2018 Symons Medal address, eminent Canadian historianMargaret MacMillan examines the impact of the First War World on CanadianConfederation. With her characteristic flair and gift for telling detail, Margaret MacMillan shows the paradox of Canada's experience in the First World War. On the one hand, theGreat War, as it was originally known, brought Canada closer to nationhood and gave many Canadians a greater sense of identity. On the other hand, the Great War also marked a time when Confederation was shaken and very nearlycame apart. Its divisive impact continued to be felt throughout the twentiethcentury. And can still be felt today, in Canada's national political life, andin the relationship betweenQuebec and the rest of the country. Yet Canadasurvived, and continues to survive. And Margaret MacMillan concludes that this is the great strength ofConfederation. The Lion's Cub suggests Canada's enduranceshould be recognized for the achievement it is. In a world where politicalboundaries are often as artificial as Canada's, the ability of our "improbablecountry" to survive and prosper may be an example of hope for a wider world. TheSymons Medal is one of Canada's most prestigious honours. It is presentedannually by the Confederation Centre of the Arts to honour persons who havemade an exceptional contribution to Canadian life.
