 Chronically Canadian: LaMarsh legacy on women as leaders   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
LaMarsh, who died in 1980, was the only woman in the cabinet of Lester Pearson, the Liberal prime minister from 1963 to ’68.
LaMarsh, fearless and gregarious, succeeded in making her mark despite a relentless series of obstacles placed in her path by men who simply could not stomach the thought of a woman wielding political power.
Although LaMarsh said she just wanted to make a difference in politics rather than be a crusader for women’s issues, the cause imposed on her lives on in her name.

 cancon: interviews: Bill Casselman
Now Judy LaMarsh was the woman who had done such a great job of supervising Canada's wonderful celebrations for the centennial at EXPO in 1967 and indeed all around the country.
To our shock, when Judy showed up at CBC Radio in Toronto to be the host of 3 hours of live, national, current-affairs radio every weekday morning, she was a querulous, obscenely overweight, miserable, sour drunk with a lot of health and psychological problems.
Judy LaMarsh had screamed at the executive producer, "If that shit Casselman ever walks back in this office, I quit!" Her bellowing was heard all the way down the hall in the offices where "As It Happens" was produced.

The success of the Canada Pension Plan was due in large part to unrelenting pressure from various federal and provincial politicians as well as from the public and labour groups.

Still, Copps is a strong woman in a fight with her new boss and that's a formula for confusion.
On the convention floor in 1968 Pierre Berton and I watched LaMarsh pleading with Hellyer to drop out of the race and back Robert Winters "if we are to stop that bastard Trudeau." I beat Berton to a camera and blurted out the "bastard" story.
She is less wonderful as nobody's crybaby because she does seem to feel sorry for herself and believe she was cheated out of victory in her riding by the chicanery of Paul Martin.

 [No title]
Judy LaMarsh was brash and bold and, to put it delicately, a tad too loud even for some of her colleagues in the Liberal Party of Canada.
So the Niagara Falls, Ont., member of Parliament was as suprised as anyone when Prime Minister Lester Pearson appointed her Minister of Health and Welfare in his 1963 minority government and put her in charge of implementing a national contributory pension plan.
In the meantime, there had been an election and LaMarsh was not reappointed as Minister of Health and Welfare when the Liberals were returned to power--becoming Secretary of State in charge of Canada's Centennial celebrations.

 Centennial celebrations, 1967
But other celebrations of that year, diffused throughout the country under the name Festival Canada (1967) and less easy to summarize, nevertheless mobilized Canada's creative and performing arts, and particularly music, to an unprecedented degree.
The Centennial Commission, formed in January 1963 under the Secretary of State, Judy LaMarsh, appointed John Fisher as its commissioner and Nicholas Goldschmidt as chief of its performing arts division.
It was the performing arts division which planned and subsidized Festival Canada (1967) (not to be confused with the later annual Ottawa summer festival which began as Festival Canada (Ottawa) but was renamed Festival Ottawa in 1978).

 Eye Weekly - PARK: Margaret Campbell speaks - 12.16.93   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
With the annual Margaret Campbell dinner, now in its tenth year, the Ontario Liberals have followed the lead of their federal cousins who hold an annual dinner in honor of the late ex- cabinet minister Judy LaMarsh.
The outspoken LaMarsh, who was a lawyer from Niagara Falls, is the same person who called Pierre Trudeau a bastard, on the very day he won the Liberal leadership, when the rest of Canada was swooning to the beat of Trudeaumania.
LaMarsh, who prided herself on being tougher than most men, and set a new Canadian standard for tell-all political memoirs with her book, Bird In A Gilded Cage, probably wouldn't have attended something like the Judy LaMarsh dinner.

In the 1960s and 1970s, when Canada was vividly realizing that actually having a contemporary cinema might be possible, Peter Morris was also introducing the notion that the past might be worth excavating for scrutiny, and something from which the present might learn.
The small-but-vital magazine introduced in Canada's centennial year, Take One, featured in its first issue not only secretary of State judy LaMarsh on the Canadian Film Development Corporation and an interview with Alfred Hitchcock, but also, between these two forces of cinema, Morris's initial revelations about the career of "Canada's First Movie Mogul," Ernest Shipman.
As curator of the newly-established Canadian Film Archives, Morris supervised the collection of primary resources that made research and the writing of Canadian film history possible.
