Um, so I'm Elizabeth Lafrance interviewing. Nicole Turpin, about the Life on campus project in the 70s. 0:0:12.980 --> 0:0:13.700
Elizabeth Lafrance
Um. 0:0:17.750 --> 0:0:20.560
Elizabeth Lafrance
And so one of the main themes that we're trying to like,
Um, delve into is the impact of popular culture, and so the main question for this part that we're trying to like get into is cultural historians have argued that television, Hollywood, popular music, and a consumer culture around automobiles created a more integrated North American popular culture. Ottawa was a bilingual institution, and we want to better understand how anglophones and francophones are related. Together. 0:0:52.680 --> 0:1:3.950
Elizabeth Lafrance
They were less at electronics in Canadian society during the 1970s. How was your leisure time structured or what did you? What did you do with students do for fun and then 1970s? 0:1:5.580 --> 0:1:8.790
Nicole
I guess the biggest piece was we spent time together. 0:1:10.230 --> 0:1:14.940
Nicole
There was definitely a separation between the Francophones and the Anglophones. 0:1:16.360 --> 0:1:17.300
Nicole
In first year. 0:1:18.60 --> 0:1:23.300
Nicole
It was more because there was a lot of francophones that were coming from outside of Ottawa. 0:1:24.50 --> 0:1:26.590
Nicole
And did not speak a lot of English. 0:1:27.940 --> 0:1:44.670
Nicole
So there really was a big separation. I was actually in the middle because I came from Ottawa. I was completely bilingual and in sports because I had a fixed and kinesiology courses. 0:1:45.330 --> 0:2:1.190
Nicole
All sports, all the competitive sports, was mixed together. So there was a social circle that was created that didn't exist on campus part from sports. That's the sports part. 0:2:2.390 --> 0:2:2.570
Elizabeth Lafrance
Yeah. 0:2:2.370 --> 0:2:8.690
Nicole
So for there, that's what. That's where we hung around more and more with both Anglophone and Francophone. 0:2:11.910 --> 0:2:14.60
Elizabeth Lafrance
So did you not have a problem like? 0:2:14.750 --> 0:2:21.150
Elizabeth Lafrance
Between each, like anglophone or francophone, where you completely in the middle? Or did you find yourself going to like one side? 0:2:22.140 --> 0:2:26.410
Nicole
Being a Franco Ontarian is very different than a quebecker. 0:2:27.360 --> 0:2:32.640
Nicole
And because I've lived all my life in a bilingual environment, most of my life. 0:2:52.680 --> 0:2:53.280
Elizabeth Lafrance
Hmm. 0:2:33.400 --> 0:3:3.690
Nicole
I was used to it and all of my friends that went to university with me from Ottawa, we would switch back and forth in French and English without even thinking about it. As soon as there was an anglophone in the group, we would switch all the English for that person because the anglophone never even had thought of thinking or talking in French. But the francophones we were all used to it. So that's how we worked. 0:3:4.890 --> 0:3:5.260
Elizabeth Lafrance
Hmm. 0:3:6.780 --> 0:3:12.340
Elizabeth Lafrance
Um, what were the most popular hangout spots on and off of campus? 0:3:13.310 --> 0:3:13.690
Nicole
Again. 0:3:13.770 --> 0:3:15.420
Nicole
The first year was pretty quiet. 0:3:16.240 --> 0:3:39.300
Nicole
Residence was always a popular place and there was a room, a big room, a meeting room, and there was, I can't remember if there was alcohol on campus or not. I have no memory of that. But it was a big there. there was a lot of music and a lot of dancing, and there was always. You always started there as a group. 0:3:42.740 --> 0:3:43.360
Elizabeth Lafrance
Hmm. 0:3:40.580 --> 0:3:48.780
Nicole
But we were underage at that time, so it there was a lot less alcohol in those first years. 0:3:50.80 --> 0:4:4.370
Nicole
It's yet to be 21, so it was just kind of like in and out. And yes, there was alcohol everywhere, but it wasn't, you know, in a lot of places. We just aren't allowed to go. We couldn't get in. We looked too young. So that's thing. 0:4:6.720 --> 0:4:13.700
Elizabeth Lafrance
And when you like, we're graduating. Was it more like focused on alcohol? Like, whenever you'd hang out? 0:4:14.890 --> 0:4:16.110
Nicole
It depended on the group. 0:4:17.200 --> 0:4:22.950
Nicole
We, I hung around very much with the Sports Group, with the athletes. 0:4:23.650 --> 0:4:43.960
Nicole
So most people was mostly alcohol, but I, I knew some people who were completely into drugs as whatever you wanted was there on campus and some some people got really deep into it and even some of my friends that I knew and kind of stayed away from that. 0:4:45.20 --> 0:4:48.330
Nicole
But there was anything you wanted on campus. 0:4:49.360 --> 0:4:49.950
Nicole
Really was. 0:4:52.320 --> 0:4:56.840
Elizabeth Lafrance
Um, did you attend any live music events during your university years? 0:4:57.180 --> 0:5:4.780
Nicole
Oh my God. All the time dancing really was something everybody did. Like you went somewhere and you dance. 0:5:14.120 --> 0:5:14.530
Elizabeth Lafrance
Hmm. 0:5:5.410 --> 0:5:26.930
Nicole
For hours and hours and hours. And you, you. You did it like Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. You know you did it here every night and 1st year was quieter again. And I lived at home for the first year. So I, you know, of course, my parents were still controlling a little bit more. And I lived in Aylmer in that point. So it was far. 0:5:27.640 --> 0:5:49.960
Nicole
And so that was made a difference in first year. It was a lot quieter after that. I moved into an apartment in Sandy Hill. So that changed everything. I was living on my own with a couple of girlfriends, and life was a lot busier socially. There was always a party going on any night. There was always something for you. 0:5:51.180 --> 0:5:59.30
Nicole
On campus, around campus, the bars around the campus down in-in-the in the market, were always open. 0:6:0.10 --> 0:6:4.790
Nicole
And so yeah, depending on what you need to do that night, there was always something. 0:6:7.980 --> 0:6:20.230
Elizabeth Lafrance
UOttawa was a bilingual institution. How linguistically integrated was it during the 1970s. Did the Francophones and anglophones enrol in the same university courses and participate in the same clubs? 0:6:20.620 --> 0:6:22.580
Nicole
OK, so in those days. 0:6:23.420 --> 0:6:29.280
Nicole
Thou shall not cross that line. The courses were only in French and only in English. 0:6:30.10 --> 0:6:32.370
Nicole
I was actually the first student. 0:6:33.750 --> 0:6:48.260
Nicole
That thought that and I ended up sitting in the Dean's office and arguing the point. Why should I not be allowed to go into the French course? Or the English course, depending on which teacher or what time? 0:6:49.650 --> 0:6:54.360
Nicole
Work better for me. But you had to be bilingual to do that. 0:6:55.330 --> 0:7:0.350
Nicole
And I've got they let me do it. And it was not. 0:7:1.110 --> 0:7:7.260
Nicole
It was extremely rare where the courses were together at all. It really was two schools. 0:7:7.920 --> 0:7:10.280
Nicole
On one French side and one English side. 0:7:10.880 --> 0:7:18.730
Nicole
We did, however, socialize a lot together. As we got older and got to know each other. 0:7:20.380 --> 0:7:30.860
Nicole
But to start, it was very much the English type and very much the French type to the point when not where you started or when I was there, we had to do a language test. 0:7:32.310 --> 0:7:32.480
Elizabeth Lafrance
Yeah. 0:7:32.190 --> 0:7:33.470
Nicole
Or second language test. 0:7:34.200 --> 0:7:39.470
Nicole
And most people, the second language was much lower. 0:7:40.80 --> 0:7:45.740
Nicole
So you would take whatever level, but you were mandated to take a second language course. 0:7:47.190 --> 0:7:53.400
Nicole
I was a keener and being who I was and how I was, I came from a French private school. We were really very, very bilingual. I ended up taking the French sides French and the English sides English of Anthology of English verse, which was horrible. But that's how bilingual I was. 0:8:12.590 --> 0:8:12.980
Elizabeth Lafrance
Hmm. 0:8:12.430 --> 0:8:19.880
Nicole
But there was a lot of francophones who could, and anglophones who did not speak a word of the other language or barely. 0:8:21.150 --> 0:8:21.510
Elizabeth Lafrance
Hmm. 0:8:22.460 --> 0:8:27.420
Elizabeth Lafrance
Um did Anglophones and francophones date each other during the 1970s. 0:8:27.470 --> 0:8:29.710
Nicole
Ohhhhh the French girls are popular. 0:8:31.630 --> 0:8:39.830
Nicole
There's no question about that. And very quickly everybody started dating and we mixed very quickly. 0:8:41.120 --> 0:9:1.410
Nicole
We were all very close to both the groups, especially in in the groupings, because again, as I said, the sports were worked integrated. So we-we-we got to know each other a lot. It was not like that for a lot of other places. But in our department it really was mixed. 0:9:4.760 --> 0:9:7.750
Elizabeth Lafrance
So how did, like, you being a part of sport change your experince? 0:9:8.850 --> 0:9:15.80
Elizabeth Lafrance
Taking sports, like, change how you ,like, experienced university. 0:9:16.230 --> 0:9:19.480
Nicole
The sports how did it change? Where am I? 0:9:20.980 --> 0:9:21.740
Nicole
Uh. 0:9:21.350 --> 0:9:23.300
Elizabeth Lafrance
No, that was like that's all the script but. 0:9:23.230 --> 0:9:26.600
Nicole
Oh, it's not the- OK, how did I integrate? 0:9:27.580 --> 0:9:35.850
Elizabeth Lafrance
Or like how did you been a part of like sports clubs instead of change how, like your social life like was? 0:9:36.130 --> 0:9:39.330
Nicole
It was very different because I was so fluent. 0:9:40.910 --> 0:9:48.630
Nicole
So whatever sport I wanted to go into, it gravitated different sports gravitated different culture like different groupings, whether it was francophones for certain sports, like volleyball, it was francophone. 0:9:58.130 --> 0:10:0.510
Nicole
And basketball was anglophone. 0:10:1.190 --> 0:10:24.490
Nicole
That was their sports. And so again, I got to do both, but most of the others didn't. But because we were started getting to know each other so much in those sports, and there were others that everybody joined in and you would hear both languages running at the same time. And on the- in the same sentence. 0:10:25.680 --> 0:10:31.210
Nicole
As people got more and more integrated into each other, wanting to be social with each other. 0:10:32.140 --> 0:10:37.190
Nicole
And so that-that created a much more cultural group. 0:10:39.90 --> 0:10:39.820
Elizabeth Lafrance
Yeah. 0:10:41.260 --> 0:10:53.850
Elizabeth Lafrance
We used the term party culture to refer to the social activities outside the classroom. How would you describe the part the party culture on the University of Ottawa campus during the 1970s? 0:10:54.740 --> 0:10:56.110
Nicole
I have. It was wild. 0:10:57.170 --> 0:10:59.790
Nicole
It was. You have to realize that. 0:11:0.510 --> 0:11:17.380
Nicole
We had been wild. I was coming from private boarding school girls, private school for five years. No, four years. Sorry, that was crazy all of a sudden, it- and you were away from home. Most of half the groupings were in residence. 0:11:18.70 --> 0:11:18.600
Nicole
Um. 0:11:19.260 --> 0:11:19.590
Nicole
Yeah. 0:11:20.460 --> 0:11:22.810
Nicole
There was a a lot of- 0:11:23.710 --> 0:11:28.660
Nicole
Every night girls and boys, there were some heavy partying in those days. 0:11:30.170 --> 0:11:42.180
Nicole
And depending on how important your-your class and your report card or your marks was it, it changed. I mean there was this big crazy time and then everybody kind of. 0:11:42.890 --> 0:11:47.620
Nicole
Who bought a bit realized. Oh, wait a SEC. We actually have to go to classes and we actually have to. 0:11:48.230 --> 0:11:55.700
Nicole
Graduate. So there was this ebb and flow, but it was it really was, wild. Anything, everything. 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:2.520
Nicole
And at the same time, it was the first generation of women who we went on the pill. 0:12:3.870 --> 0:12:4.300
Nicole
That. 0:12:4.50 --> 0:12:4.400
Elizabeth Lafrance
Hmm. 0:12:9.200 --> 0:12:10.10
Elizabeth Lafrance
Um. 0:12:12.230 --> 0:12:14.700
Elizabeth Lafrance
What did the student body think about the? 0:12:15.870 --> 0:12:16.190
Nicole
Review. 0:12:15.780 --> 0:12:16.510
Elizabeth Lafrance
Vietnam War. 0:12:17.90 --> 0:12:17.530
Nicole
Nothing. 0:12:18.350 --> 0:12:19.470
Nicole
It didn't exist. 0:12:20.290 --> 0:12:30.240
Nicole
You know what did it? Did it? It was barely mentioned. No interest was what was, though hugely was the FLQ and what that is. 0:12:32.850 --> 0:12:33.50
Elizabeth Lafrance
Yeah. 0:12:31.730 --> 0:12:33.780
Nicole
So that tends to back. 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:35.910
Nicole
When we went into. 0:12:38.300 --> 0:12:45.560
Nicole
The FLQ took some English people and ended up they wanted to separate the-the-the province. 0:12:46.730 --> 0:12:53.500
Nicole
It was. It was violent. There's someone that was killed. You'll have to research that part. The FLQ. 0:12:54.170 --> 0:12:57.780
Nicole
That we talked about all the time because. 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:4.30
Nicole
In grade12 and 13, when it happened, that's when I was in it. 0:13:4.690 --> 0:13:5.580
Nicole
We had. 0:13:6.330 --> 0:13:28.670
Nicole
Um students in our school that their parents were cabinet ministers and representatives, and we actually had RCMP on campus in our schools for weeks and months so that no one would be kidnapped or that there was no Violence. 0:13:29.370 --> 0:13:34.80
Nicole
But we lived through the FLQ, but Vietnam nothing. Not a word. 0:13:34.970 --> 0:13:38.0
Nicole
I have no memory of everybody talking about that part. 0:13:39.260 --> 0:13:40.190
Nicole
It was more the FLQ. 0:13:39.780 --> 0:13:40.260
Elizabeth Lafrance
So. 0:13:49.660 --> 0:13:52.820
Nicole
It it it warranted a lot of discussions. 0:13:53.510 --> 0:14:9.30
Nicole
It talked about the French identity, Canadian identity, how to integrate French and English. So we we had a lot of discussions with the Francophones and Anglophones talking about identity. 0:14:9.810 --> 0:14:11.740
Nicole
That we did a lot of discussions about. 0:14:12.540 --> 0:14:16.390
Nicole
Um, but not nothing about the Vietnam War. 0:14:17.100 --> 0:14:20.60
Nicole
Not with that English French dynamic. 0:14:21.80 --> 0:14:21.620
Elizabeth Lafrance Hmm. 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:36.840
Elizabeth Lafrance
Rock'n'roll artists in that 1960s had promoted various forms of protests. Did your, did your parents think of rock'n'roll as rebellious or just a form of popular music? 0:14:38.430 --> 0:14:41.120
Nicole
I was the eldest of seven kids. 0:14:41.980 --> 0:14:47.550
Nicole
And and so I was the first one that walked out the door kind of thing and started. 0:14:49.380 --> 0:14:50.640
Nicole
But they were very. 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:56.850
Nicole
Confident about me as a person and I wasn't into drugs. 0:14:57.550 --> 0:14:58.660
Nicole
So they kind of. 0:14:59.720 --> 0:15:9.270
Nicole
I mean, they'd comment about it. I can remember my boyfriend at the time. His parents were appalled because he had started letting his hair grow, and that was like. 0:15:10.60 --> 0:15:14.30
Nicole
A huge challenge to parents was the boys having long hair. 0:15:15.0 --> 0:15:25.940
Nicole
When you think about it now it's hilarious. But in those days the boys hair was long and getting longer. That was absolutely the rock influence. 0:15:26.930 --> 0:15:32.400
Nicole
Not the big drug thing because like we skirted it, we didn't really get into it. 0:15:33.670 --> 0:15:39.410
Nicole
Our parents weren't as worried, but I know other parents were. They were definitely worried about it. 0:15:41.830 --> 0:15:44.510
Elizabeth Lafrance
So would you say that your parents were like, strict? 0:15:45.630 --> 0:15:45.920
Nicole
I'm. 0:15:50.890 --> 0:15:51.150
Elizabeth Lafrance
Yeah. 0:15:47.610 --> 0:15:52.40
Nicole
You have to remember when we're talking about, you know, expectations for children. 0:15:53.80 --> 0:16:4.880
Nicole
Pretty clear, but then I moved out so I only stayed a year with my parents and then I-I was gone after that they they had no say over me, really. I mean, I didn't. 0:16:6.160 --> 0:16:11.220
Nicole
I didn't change my behavior. I still saw them regularly. I still, you know, went over and. 0:16:12.380 --> 0:16:19.880
Nicole
Got fed as often as I could because I lived in the same city. I mean, I lived close. My parents were in in Alymer at that point, so. 0:16:20.570 --> 0:16:22.270
Nicole
It it wasn't as obvious. 0:16:27.660 --> 0:16:27.920
Elizabeth Lafrance
Yeah. 0:16:22.950 --> 0:16:38.400
Nicole
What did i do that they didn't have a clue what I was doing, really, you know? But they had my younger brother and sisters, they were already into it too. So they were concerned. But I think they trusted us to make good choices at the time. 0:16:41.150 --> 0:16:53.130
Elizabeth Lafrance
Um, some youth culture voices in the 1970s promoted taking recreational drugs. To what extent where recreational drugs available on campus during the 1970s. 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:55.190
Nicole
Anything you wanted, you. 0:16:56.530 --> 0:17:9.370
Nicole
I know that I didn't. My sister got into heavy like, i’ll let you know, acid and everything she was into absolutely everything. And she could get it anyway she wanted. 0:17:10.250 --> 0:17:11.830
Nicole
It really was there. 0:17:12.810 --> 0:17:21.380
Nicole
But again, I didn't so, but I knew it was. And me and my husband always talked about. He was stoned during his university. He has no memory of. 0:17:22.130 --> 0:17:29.90
Nicole
Most of the University of the social, so it depended on what you were doing at the time. But yes, it was there. Absolutely. 0:17:34.460 --> 0:17:36.60
Elizabeth Lafrance
During the 1970s. 0:17:36.980 --> 0:17:51.780
Elizabeth Lafrance
Um, and you don't have to answer this question, but during 1970s speak about tripping and taking psychedelics to reach a higher state of consciousness. To what extent did students on campus use hallucinogens? 0:17:52.260 --> 0:17:56.360
Nicole
I knew they were, but because I wasn't in it, I don't know. 0:17:58.340 --> 0:17:59.360
Nicole
I mean, I heard about it. 0:18:0.0 --> 0:18:5.330
Nicole
People talk about it, but I didn't do any of it, so I was afraid of drugs actually most. 0:18:5.990 --> 0:18:13.170
Nicole
Really was? I just didn't trust people. Just little Baggies walking around saying here, you know, I just didn't trust it. 0:18:14.130 --> 0:18:14.470
Nicole
So. 0:18:15.540 --> 0:18:18.370
Elizabeth Lafrance
But you were like around that kind of like culture. 0:18:18.150 --> 0:18:24.210
Nicole
Yes, sometimes I was, yeah. Depending on the party, there was always somebody that had a bad a baggie of something. 0:18:25.820 --> 0:18:27.0
Nicole
And you could always get it. 0:18:27.670 --> 0:18:28.180
Nicole
But. 0:18:29.270 --> 0:18:30.880
Nicole
Our group was pretty. 0:18:31.890 --> 0:18:34.530
Nicole
Quiet compared for the for drugs anyway. 0:18:35.950 --> 0:18:43.490
Nicole
So we just kind of stayed away from it and there was groups that that's all they did, they were always stoned in class and out of class. 0:18:44.260 --> 0:18:45.120
Nicole
They they were. 0:18:45.840 --> 0:19:1.200
Nicole
Fine, because I did take quite a lot of our classes outside of the Phys Ed department. Right? You still have sociology. You still had language. You still have other classes where we were mixed with other departments, and there was always somebody that was so gone. 0:19:1.830 --> 0:19:2.530
Nicole
Sat there and. 0:19:4.940 --> 0:19:5.170
Elizabeth Lafrance
Yeah. 0:19:4.350 --> 0:19:5.750
Nicole
Don't know why they were there, really. 0:19:11.360 --> 0:19:11.530
Nicole
Yeah. 0:19:9.190 --> 0:19:13.140
Elizabeth Lafrance
So this is like the second section, the female experience. 0:19:14.630 --> 0:19:14.910
Elizabeth Lafrance
Uh. 0:19:14.10 --> 0:19:16.960
Nicole
You don't have to read the whole question if you don't want to. 0:19:18.560 --> 0:19:20.500
Elizabeth Lafrance
I'll probably do it for like the transcript. 0:19:20.530 --> 0:19:22.0
Nicole
OK, it helps. 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:26.730
Elizabeth Lafrance
Um cultural historians have written a lot about. 0:19:27.470 --> 0:19:44.800
Elizabeth Lafrance
What they call second wave feminism guy as per of the culture, cultural movement, women during the early 1970s sought to breakdown gender barriers. What does this argument resonate with your experience on the University of Ottawa campus during the early 70s? 0:19:49.430 --> 0:19:54.920
Nicole
The biggest change in our world, and it was massive really. 0:19:56.390 --> 0:20:0.640
Nicole
All of a sudden, all you need to do was take the pill, you didn't get Pregnant. 0:20:1.480 --> 0:20:7.10
Nicole
And that completely changed their lives as a group of women and. 0:20:7.920 --> 0:20:9.890
Nicole
Most of my friends, we were all in the pit. 0:20:11.780 --> 0:20:16.350
Nicole
And in those days, those pills could have worked on a horse. 0:20:17.260 --> 0:20:22.90
Nicole
And not getting pregnant. It was so, so strong it was. 0:20:23.270 --> 0:20:31.810
Nicole
Crazy the level of of hormones that they gave us in those initial wave of pills, but we took them. 0:20:32.740 --> 0:20:34.410
Nicole
And so. 0:20:35.260 --> 0:20:42.910
Nicole
We didn't hear as much about, you know, the horrible life of being pregnant because. 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:47.90
Nicole
Pretty well. Everybody was on the pill that wanted to. 0:20:48.290 --> 0:20:49.250
Nicole
And you could get it. 0:20:50.330 --> 0:20:59.370
Nicole
On or off campus somewhere close, so all the people in residence are the women in residence would go and get, you know, get on the pill. 0:21:2.180 --> 0:21:10.130
Elizabeth Lafrance
In your own words, did feminism signify in Canada during the early 1970s, or what did? Sorry. 0:21:10.580 --> 0:21:19.840
Nicole
Well, apart from the pill, equal rights all of a sudden, yes, we did a lot of talking as women about how. 0:21:22.490 --> 0:21:30.530
Nicole
Our parents were our our mothers were being encased in this expectation and that we didn't wanna be the same. 0:21:31.530 --> 0:21:38.10
Nicole
We wanted to have more choices. We wanted more things and we realized very quickly that. 0:21:39.870 --> 0:21:49.410
Nicole
It was the man that was running this world and and we weren’t. We were. There was a lot of discussion. There was some really good discussions about. 0:21:50.40 --> 0:22:19.990
Nicole
Representation about government being only men, you know, corporations being led by men we were. We were definitely incensed about that. And it that messaging was definitely coming from the states. It we were hearing it. We were seeing it, there was campus groupings of women that and I remember sitting a couple of them I went, you know, once in a while I'd sit in on on some of those groups you. Cassie was really important that we we understand. 0:22:20.70 --> 0:22:21.750
Nicole
Why and how to change that? 0:22:22.410 --> 0:22:36.760
Nicole
But University had the social culture and the and the intellectual culture that we were more even equal because you could talk and you could challenge it there. 0:22:37.670 --> 0:22:40.570
Nicole
But it was very different when we went out into the real world. 0:22:42.170 --> 0:22:46.80
Nicole
That environment that university gave, gave us the opportunity. 0:22:46.730 --> 0:22:47.770
Nicole
To question ourselves. 0:22:48.550 --> 0:22:51.0
Nicole
But it's only when we got into the real world that. 0:22:51.800 --> 0:22:53.70
Nicole
We realized wait a SEC. 0:22:54.40 --> 0:22:55.530
Nicole
Still not doing it right. 0:23:4.280 --> 0:23:4.720
Nicole
Yes. 0:22:57.640 --> 0:23:5.190
Elizabeth Lafrance
So were you a part of like those conversations that was happening in university about, like, feminism and, like, equal rights? 0:23:6.260 --> 0:23:12.830
Nicole
Oh, absolutely, yeah, yeah. Often we. Like I said, we would join some of the groups and, and have these discussions. 0:23:13.710 --> 0:23:36.530
Nicole
Think we thought we with the universities you can create a group anytime you wanted to and you could, you know, have a meeting and use a a room. So yes, I-I did was I one to March? No, because I felt quite comfortable where I was in my world. But yes we did. I did sit in on quite a lot of the discussions at that time. 0:23:39.60 --> 0:23:39.570
Elizabeth Lafrance
Um. 0:23:41.130 --> 0:23:53.680
Elizabeth Lafrance
Gender distinctions were more pronounced in the 1970s than today. How did being a woman result in different treatment and expectations in classrooms or at social events compared to the male students? 0:23:54.510 --> 0:23:59.600
Nicole
So the most interesting thing that happened to us when we when I started. 0:24:0.420 --> 0:24:1.950
Nicole
The first year. 0:24:3.250 --> 0:24:24.580
Nicole
All our classes. OK, so we were the things that we were specializing in teaching physical education, right. It was a course that brought you teaching Phys Ed in schools. OK, so at the first my first year, all my courses in sports were separate. 0:24:25.420 --> 0:24:26.130
Nicole
From the boys. 0:24:27.50 --> 0:24:37.100
Nicole
So we learned the female courses like dance and all of the sports, even basketball. It was all the girls together. 0:24:38.330 --> 0:24:47.300
Nicole
The next year we were there, UOttawa, the Department of Phys Ed, decided that they could not keep doing this. 0:24:48.230 --> 0:25:4.230
Nicole
Because when a teachers got into the real world of teaching, they got caught or they got, they were told they had to teach a class of boys or a class of girls, and they didn't have any background in it. 0:25:4.900 --> 0:25:13.370 Nicole
So that second year and forever after that, all the teaching of sports was mixed. 0:25:14.230 --> 0:25:25.600
Nicole
So, and it was hilarious. I can still see this. One of the guys. And I knew him quite well. He was huge. He was like 280 and he was on the provincial wrestling team. 0:25:27.90 --> 0:25:35.360
Nicole
And he comes to me and says, OK, here it is. You're gonna teach me how to teach dance. And I'm gonna teach you how to how to teach wrestling. 0:25:36.160 --> 0:25:43.880
Nicole
I'm nearly got killed with him because he was so huge, but that's how much we had to change all of a sudden. 0:25:44.650 --> 0:25:54.380
Nicole
How we were looking at-at all of the introduction of teaching, because we have to learn the other sports. 0:25:55.280 --> 0:26:9.330
Nicole
And that was a huge hardship, and the teachers had a hard time with you because here you come in with a group of women and go, OK, what do we do with them? Like, how am I gonna teach wrestling to girls who never in their lives wrestle? 0:26:10.210 --> 0:26:10.830
Nicole
That was. 0:26:10.780 --> 0:26:11.50
Elizabeth Lafrance
Yeah. 0:26:11.520 --> 0:26:16.180
Nicole
A big piece, but absolutely shifted how we looked at everything. 0:26:17.30 --> 0:26:20.860
Nicole
And because of that my first job. 0:26:21.980 --> 0:26:28.60
Nicole
I was able to teach. I had three girls classes, but I had two boys classes. 0:26:28.680 --> 0:26:32.370
Nicole
And they hired me because I had had that preparation. 0:26:33.890 --> 0:26:34.880
Nicole
But it did make a difference. 0:26:35.730 --> 0:26:36.60
Nicole
Yeah. 0:26:37.750 --> 0:26:45.460
Elizabeth Lafrance
And the 1970s were there, UOttawa programs, departments or clubs where women were less present and accepted? 0:26:46.30 --> 0:26:46.230
Nicole
Absoluteely. 0:26:46.340 --> 0:26:46.840
Nicole
Remotely. 0:26:47.540 --> 0:26:52.0
Nicole
Everywhere there were certain things that you could see that you know, the women just weren't there. 0:26:52.660 --> 0:26:55.710
Nicole
Um, there was there was a. 0:26:56.490 --> 0:27:4.870
Nicole
Pick up hockey was the one of the first ones, and again, because women didn't play hockey in those days. 0:27:6.140 --> 0:27:11.890
Nicole
And I remember going to the rink and that's just one example going to the rink and saying I’d love to play hockey. 0:27:12.660 --> 0:27:16.670
Nicole
I can skate. Why can't I learn to play hockey? I got killed. 0:27:18.140 --> 0:27:31.300
Nicole
And if we should pick up hockey, but I because the guys knew me, I they taught me how to do it. But Oh God, there was so many things where it was still the women on one side and the minimum. There's no question about it. 0:27:32.60 --> 0:27:43.900
Nicole
And the man introduced, you know, wanting to go on the on the women's side too, it was as much one side as the other, but slowly, by the end of my five years. 0:27:44.740 --> 0:27:47.350
Nicole
It it was integrated a lot more. 0:27:48.10 --> 0:27:49.820
Nicole
Space compared to when I started. 0:27:50.640 --> 0:27:51.230
Nicole
Absolutely. 0:27:53.430 --> 0:27:57.640
Elizabeth Lafrance
Did you yourself face challenges, like when you wanted to like? 0:27:58.430 --> 0:28:1.520
Elizabeth Lafrance
Go into a space that was not as like female dominated. 0:28:3.190 --> 0:28:4.880
Nicole
Yes, absolutely. 0:28:5.680 --> 0:28:9.230
Nicole
Um and some women were more. 0:28:10.250 --> 0:28:13.460
Nicole
Comfortable and being in that world. 0:28:14.630 --> 0:28:29.900
Nicole
And I was, um, it really depended on how you-you looked at things. Some of the women weren't comfortable at all. I was skiing instructor, downhill ski instructor, and I ran. 0:28:31.0 --> 0:28:33.730
Nicole
The Speed School Children's school. At camp fortune. 0:28:35.210 --> 0:28:48.180
Nicole
All the way through university on the weekends, I was in charge of all the kids programs and we're talking 2000 kids a weekend. It was a massive ski school and I ran that. 0:28:48.800 --> 0:28:50.670
Nicole
So I was with the guys all the time. 0:28:52.30 --> 0:29:3.840
Nicole
And I was the only woman that ran these programs. The others were all male, so I was more comfortable. But I knew a lot of women who would never have stepped up. 0:29:5.130 --> 0:29:15.970
Nicole
But again, by the end of my five years there, it was more accepted. It was more natural to have a women coming into sports that. 0:29:16.640 --> 0:29:17.840
Nicole
You know, wouldn't have. 0:29:18.500 --> 0:29:25.430
Nicole
Now, but even then, I- my daughter, who played boys, competitive hockey. 0:29:26.320 --> 0:29:36.310
Nicole
Did have her challenges? So I could I can still see. It's not completely there. It never will be. I don't think. But we've come a long way. 0:29:39.280 --> 0:29:44.790
Elizabeth Lafrance
Um, so I'm going to move on to the another theme that ideology and generation on differences. 0:29:46.490 --> 0:30:6.920
Elizabeth Lafrance
Historians have written a lot about what they call the counterculture revolution, meaning that your generation rebelled against the values of your parents, generation. To what extent did people in your social circle see themselves as needing to mobilize or a more just or just adjust society and better world? 0:30:8.590 --> 0:30:17.580
Nicole
So there's a lot of. So we talked a lot about language and female and male. The one I think that. 0:30:18.750 --> 0:30:23.170
Nicole
Really, we started to understand more as we got into you like. 0:30:24.770 --> 0:30:29.890
Nicole
Old in more older grades of the university was more multicultural. 0:30:31.100 --> 0:30:31.850
Nicole
It was all white. 0:30:32.730 --> 0:30:35.230
Nicole
And if there were so few black. 0:30:35.890 --> 0:30:37.620
Nicole
Kids in the school. 0:30:38.520 --> 0:30:50.290
Nicole
And that's the one that we all all of a sudden started questioning saying, why is it like that? Like what is it with, you know, all of a sudden there was there was these discussions about. 0:30:51.440 --> 0:30:55.710
Nicole
That hadn't existed before. My world was completely white. 0:30:57.280 --> 0:31:7.10
Nicole
And all of a sudden we were starting to say, well, why aren't they here or there we-we would talk to them and and they would be starting to say. 0:31:8.210 --> 0:31:9.650
Nicole
But why is it like that? 0:31:9.990 --> 0:31:13.250
Nicole
Um, so yeah, we-we did start. 0:31:13.920 --> 0:31:26.620
Nicole
Talking about why and how you know, also again still the male female challenges of being represented to everywhere. So we you were pushing the envelope. 0:31:28.220 --> 0:31:31.890
Nicole
In our days, quite a lot more than when we started. 0:31:33.510 --> 0:31:43.110
Nicole
There was a lot more of why not and why can't we do this and let's let's go and find out or let's get involved more. 0:31:44.300 --> 0:31:51.940
Nicole
Which a lot of women didn't at the beginning and we had a greater voice of challenging that that piece. 0:31:53.80 --> 0:31:55.260
Nicole
But the multicultural piece does. 0:31:56.270 --> 0:32:1.540
Nicole
I really eye opener at the beginning started talking to the few. 0:32:2.680 --> 0:32:3.980
Nicole
Black kids that were with us. 0:32:5.290 --> 0:32:8.110
Nicole
And it was really eye opening back for sure. 0:32:10.650 --> 0:32:18.90
Elizabeth Lafrance
To what extent did your generation believe that your parents, and their notions about gender, family and dating, were outdated? 0:32:20.490 --> 0:32:21.160
Nicole
OK. 0:32:24.290 --> 0:32:28.780
Nicole
Yes, it it was because of the pill. The pill changed our lives. 0:32:29.540 --> 0:32:30.870
Nicole
Because before that. 0:32:31.650 --> 0:32:32.40
Nicole
If. 0:32:35.950 --> 0:32:40.80
Nicole
And all of a sudden that was all gone. You could do whatever you wanted to. 0:32:40.770 --> 0:32:42.460
Nicole
Where as our parents. 0:32:43.630 --> 0:32:47.0
Nicole
You know, they they really believed in in being, you know. 0:32:48.370 --> 0:32:49.740
Nicole
More individual. 0:32:50.380 --> 0:32:51.30
Nicole
Um. 0:32:53.180 --> 0:32:58.140
Nicole
I could see that that was definitely a challenge. 0:32:59.240 --> 0:33:0.650
Nicole
Equal pay for equal work. 0:33:1.650 --> 0:33:7.930
Nicole
Um, I think that was one that we started hearing a lot now in education, it was equal. 0:33:8.910 --> 0:33:18.150
Nicole
But the jobs were not equal and we were hearing that already because we would have, we would go into schools and do practicals. 0:33:19.140 --> 0:33:23.690
Nicole
And so we were in the schools and it was very obvious that. 0:33:24.620 --> 0:33:28.270
Nicole
The senior administration, principals and vice principals were all male. 0:33:29.910 --> 0:33:31.140
Nicole
There were no female. 0:33:32.10 --> 0:33:36.460
Nicole
That we saw. So we realized even then that. 0:33:37.210 --> 0:33:43.250
Nicole
Wait a SEC, why is there not. And-and 80% of teachers are female, but yet? 0:33:44.400 --> 0:33:53.780
Nicole
You know, it was like 90% male in administration and and and also in the teaching environment we didn't have a lot of female teachers. 0:33:55.120 --> 0:33:58.420
Nicole
So, and the ones we did really did help us. 0:33:59.210 --> 0:34:2.680
Nicole
To voice our-our concerns, but there's no question. 0:34:3.850 --> 0:34:6.370
Nicole
We were second guessing ourselves for that one for sure. 0:34:9.860 --> 0:34:12.670
Elizabeth Lafrance
Talking about to the 1970s. 0:34:14.780 --> 0:34:21.160
Elizabeth Lafrance
What aspect of Canadian to society did you see as most out of whack and in needing of fixing? 0:34:21.960 --> 0:34:24.170
Nicole
Again, same thing. It really was. 0:34:25.480 --> 0:34:27.330
Nicole
OK, great. equal work. 0:34:28.460 --> 0:34:37.30
Nicole
We- it was very obvious about that. We thought we could change the world. You do when you're at university because you're talking with other people that agree with you. 0:34:38.520 --> 0:34:42.830
Nicole
And so it's only when you get into the work world that. 0:34:43.710 --> 0:34:46.310
Nicole
Things don't change as quickly as you want it to. 0:34:47.350 --> 0:34:51.180
Nicole
So the environment you live in through your university years. 0:34:51.880 --> 0:34:54.120
Nicole
Are your most open. 0:34:55.260 --> 0:34:58.840
Nicole
In terms of questioning the why and how. 0:35:0.160 --> 0:35:4.550
Nicole
But it's only when you get into the work world that you realize, oh. 0:35:5.260 --> 0:35:6.120
Nicole
It's not as simple as that. 0:35:7.710 --> 0:35:10.120
Nicole
But in theory it sounded great that university. 0:35:11.120 --> 0:35:12.680
Nicole
That was a huge right there. 0:35:14.240 --> 0:35:17.120
Nicole
And and it needed fixing. There's no question about that. 0:35:19.370 --> 0:35:20.140
Nicole
That’s the difference. 0:35:19.850 --> 0:35:20.380
Elizabeth Lafrance I'm. 0:35:24.900 --> 0:35:30.690
Elizabeth Lafrance
What were the principle forms of injustice in Canadian society during the 1970s? 0:35:32.130 --> 0:35:36.950
Nicole
Again, women being able to work outside of home. 0:35:37.700 --> 0:35:41.610
Nicole
And I was still in that generation where you stayed at home with your kids. 0:35:42.810 --> 0:35:43.680
Nicole
Um. 0:35:45.890 --> 0:36:2.190
Nicole
And most women I knew were talking about being home with kids, you know, and share your kids and racism again, same thing. There was a lot of injustices in-in, in the black community. 0:36:2.940 --> 0:36:5.870
Nicole
And we were just starting to be aware. 0:36:7.510 --> 0:36:9.410
Nicole
So there was definitely. 0:36:10.520 --> 0:36:11.330
Nicole
For that too. 0:36:15.240 --> 0:36:23.480
Elizabeth Lafrance
Did you feel that any political system was democratic, fair and responsive to citizens needs? 0:36:24.430 --> 0:36:28.890
Nicole
They were responsible, responsive to the white male. 0:36:30.600 --> 0:36:31.260
Nicole
No one else. 0:36:32.40 --> 0:36:33.850
Nicole
It was all about the white male. 0:36:35.360 --> 0:36:36.420
Nicole
Everything was. 0:36:37.360 --> 0:36:44.900
Nicole
Control directed. There's no question that we were not equal and not and we still are not represented. 0:36:45.760 --> 0:36:49.130
Nicole
So you can imagine back then how much, how little there was. 0:36:49.900 --> 0:37:2.930
Nicole
And we were we were talking about it a lot more or aware of it here. That first generation that said, hang on here. You know, why is it that? But it took a lot of. 0:37:4.100 --> 0:37:8.840
Nicole
Thinking of looking ahead to want to be one of those women that broke the seal? 0:37:10.110 --> 0:37:12.820
Nicole
And that was that. It took a while for that to happen. 0:37:13.620 --> 0:37:13.820
Nicole
Here. 0:37:16.400 --> 0:37:16.930
Elizabeth Lafrance
And. 0:37:17.920 --> 0:37:25.80
Elizabeth Lafrance
So this is also talking on how cultural historians have argued that introduction to the birth control pill. 0:37:26.120 --> 0:37:28.70
Elizabeth Lafrance
Legalization of abortion and dissemination. 0:37:28.550 --> 0:37:40.540
Elizabeth Lafrance
Of the manifestation of the free love ideology changed general gender relations and dating practices, in the early 1970s, do you agree with this statement? 0:37:41.10 --> 0:37:48.790
Nicole
Absolutely. It was massive. It really was. It was huge. It changed the whole lives up for us as a woman. 0:37:49.780 --> 0:37:53.570
Nicole
And you could decide when you wanted to be a mother. 0:37:55.340 --> 0:37:56.0
Nicole
Didn't before. 0:37:56.650 --> 0:38:0.370
Nicole
There was an expectation when I remember my mom telling me that that. 0:38:1.490 --> 0:38:8.570
Nicole
These would come around and they’d be pregnant by now. Again like there was a huge push, whereas the pill changed back. 0:38:9.540 --> 0:38:12.370
Nicole
You wanted to work for another five years and not get pregnant. 0:38:13.500 --> 0:38:13.820
Nicole
Yes. 0:38:14.660 --> 0:38:18.750
Nicole
And you had control over your life much, much more than our parents did. 0:38:22.500 --> 0:38:26.660
Elizabeth Lafrance
What did dating look like? At UOttawa in the 1970s? 0:38:29.220 --> 0:38:29.420
Nicole
I. 0:38:30.160 --> 0:38:31.310
Nicole
It was pretty crazy. 0:38:32.430 --> 0:38:36.760
Nicole
It really was that first generation of. 0:38:37.500 --> 0:38:38.950
Nicole
Whenever we want because. 0:38:39.630 --> 0:38:40.660
Nicole
I can't get pregnant. 0:38:42.210 --> 0:38:43.750
Nicole
So it was. 0:38:44.620 --> 0:38:47.480
Nicole
Some of it was bad. Some of it was over the top. 0:38:48.290 --> 0:38:51.0
Nicole
Some women got badly. 0:38:53.520 --> 0:38:54.100
Nicole
Abused. 0:38:55.90 --> 0:38:57.940
Nicole
Because of that, and we. 0:38:58.810 --> 0:39:1.610
Nicole
We didn't know any better to say. 0:39:4.210 --> 0:39:6.660
Nicole
It's saying when we said no. 0:39:7.310 --> 0:39:9.480
Nicole
It means no those days. 0:39:10.560 --> 0:39:15.250
Nicole
You-you had to be strong as an individual woman to say no. 0:39:15.980 --> 0:39:20.120
Nicole
And then I heard through the Grapevine often. 0:39:21.190 --> 0:39:33.200
Nicole
Me push the limits and women have been raped and and we would talk about it, but we never did anything about it. You didn't go to the police, didn't go to senior staff about it. You just. 0:39:34.660 --> 0:39:36.660
Nicole
Model of the person that had lived through it. 0:39:38.20 --> 0:39:38.580
Nicole
It was. 0:39:39.680 --> 0:39:40.940
Nicole
Yeah, it was bad. 0:39:41.740 --> 0:39:47.920
Nicole
Um, you got smart as the group of women, and so if you didn't want to be. 0:39:48.940 --> 0:39:51.430
Nicole
You you moved in groups a lot. 0:39:52.980 --> 0:39:55.390
Nicole
As women, we still do, don't you? 0:39:56.180 --> 0:39:56.660
Nicole
You know. 0:39:56.520 --> 0:39:56.910
Elizabeth Lafrance
Yes. 0:39:57.340 --> 0:40:0.250
Nicole
Yeah. So you learn to be smart. 0:40:1.810 --> 0:40:3.920
Nicole
And I think that's what we learned. 0:40:4.750 --> 0:40:8.940
Nicole
About that part, just because you were on the pill did not mean you were safe, yes. 0:40:9.690 --> 0:40:13.400
Nicole
That's the people I think that they're very quickly. 0:40:14.200 --> 0:40:14.600
Nicole
Um. 0:40:15.330 --> 0:40:16.590
Nicole
And saying no. 0:40:18.640 --> 0:40:29.750
Nicole
With something that we learned has a group of women like talking to each other and and saying, wait a SEC. You know, I don't want to go out with this guy and they're saying, well, why do we have to kind of thing? 0:40:30.500 --> 0:40:30.820
Nicole
Yes. 0:40:31.930 --> 0:40:32.230
Nicole
Negative. 0:40:33.470 --> 0:40:36.960
Elizabeth Lafrance
Um, how did your generation look at family and marriage? 0:40:38.430 --> 0:40:38.890
Nicole
Ah. 0:40:40.240 --> 0:40:40.680
Nicole
I think. 0:40:42.60 --> 0:40:48.280
Nicole
We still work very, very much living the same as our parents in terms of expectations. 0:40:49.180 --> 0:40:51.520
Nicole
Finding a family wanting to be married. 0:40:52.240 --> 0:40:58.450
Nicole
But we took longer to do it. We waited longer because we had that luxury. 0:40:59.360 --> 0:41:1.40
Nicole
Of not getting pregnant. 0:41:2.40 --> 0:41:6.710
Nicole
He had the time to make the decisions later. 0:41:7.440 --> 0:41:8.170
Nicole
Then our parents. 0:41:8.930 --> 0:41:12.30
Nicole
My mom was pregnant by 21. 0:41:12.690 --> 0:41:16.400
Nicole
Married. You know, in the suit she's married. She was pregnant. 0:41:17.500 --> 0:41:18.110
Nicole
Whereas. 0:41:18.870 --> 0:41:33.130
Nicole
I had that luxury of saying, well, you know what I-I wanna work. I wanna work more and take my time making those decisions and maybe finding the right guy. And so we had that luxury. 0:41:41.800 --> 0:41:42.550
Elizabeth Lafrance
Um. 0:41:43.360 --> 0:41:44.150
Elizabeth Lafrance
And so. 0:41:45.20 --> 0:41:46.620
Elizabeth Lafrance
You’ve read the questions, right? 0:41:46.920 --> 0:41:47.140
Nicole
Yeah. 0:41:49.430 --> 0:41:49.780
Nicole
Yeah. 0:41:48.40 --> 0:41:50.980
Elizabeth Lafrance
Do you want to answer like, the final question? 0:41:51.930 --> 0:41:52.990
Elizabeth Lafrance
Um. 0:41:55.290 --> 0:42:6.110
Elizabeth Lafrance
Many universities today have been forced to police sexual harassment. To what extent did university authorities monitor mixers and social events to keep women safe? 0:42:6.810 --> 0:42:7.920
Nicole
Absolutely nothing. 0:42:9.600 --> 0:42:17.380
Nicole
There was always a security guard there, but he was as dangerous as the kids and the boys. 0:42:18.130 --> 0:42:21.730
Nicole
And that's why we were really hung out as groups. 0:42:22.870 --> 0:42:29.100
Nicole
So women, unless you were with your boyfriend, you know that was wrong. You know, more of a relationship. 0:42:30.70 --> 0:42:40.430
Nicole
That security was half the time. It was one of the older guys that was paid to be that. It would have put a jacket on and he'd be a security guy. 0:42:41.100 --> 0:42:51.650
Nicole
Or an older man. And no, you did not go and tell those guys that something happened to you. It was never talked that way unless. 0:42:53.250 --> 0:43:3.420
Nicole
Unless the woman was beaten up and you had called, you had to call an ambulance. That was a different story, and even then it was it was not sexually. 0:43:5.630 --> 0:43:9.850
Nicole
I'm saying so it we didn’t talk about that part very much- she didn't. 0:43:10.870 --> 0:43:16.530
Nicole
I never experienced anyone around me that happened. I heard it through the Grapevine. 0:43:17.210 --> 0:43:17.800
Nicole
Um. 0:43:18.900 --> 0:43:21.270
Nicole
But no, there was.
Nicole
You really had to think on your feet. You had to be smart. 0:43:30.350 --> 0:43:31.740
Nicole
And you learned that. 0:43:32.410 --> 0:43:39.910
Nicole
Being the women burned, what was safer to do so that you wouldn't? You wouldn't get in that situation. 0:43:40.680 --> 0:43:41.320
Nicole
And. 0:43:42.490 --> 0:43:53.430
Nicole
I was lucky and my group lucky, so I guess it depended on you know, the type of relationship you have with the guys and how you did each other. 0:43:54.60 --> 0:43:57.350
Nicole
But I heard that line I would hear about. 0:43:58.210 --> 0:43:58.460
Nicole
Or. 0:43:59.680 --> 0:44:3.890
Nicole
Absolutely. Especially the first two years and it was always senior guys. 0:44:4.780 --> 0:44:5.740
Nicole
You know that would be. 0:44:7.220 --> 0:44:10.700
Nicole
Going on at after the- the younger ones who had just arrived. 0:44:12.130 --> 0:44:13.620
Nicole
And that- that made a big difference. 0:44:16.810 --> 0:44:30.940
Elizabeth Lafrance
Our generation is interested in a free love movement. What was the perception of premarital sex on the University of Ottawa campus in 1970s? Was it viewed negatively, accepted or even encouraged? 0:44:31.360 --> 0:44:36.810
Nicole
It was encouraged. I was fun. It really was. I mean, we were that first generation. 0:44:37.550 --> 0:44:39.190
Nicole
That all of a sudden? 0:44:40.160 --> 0:44:43.170
Nicole
You you didn't have to worry about it. So you. 0:44:44.240 --> 0:44:45.10
Nicole
You had fun. 0:44:46.310 --> 0:44:48.260
Nicole
It was definitely expected. 0:44:48.920 --> 0:45:3.980
Nicole
And yet there was still a lot of girls who didn't want to go on the pill and did not really, you know, save themselves for the- the guy. And that was fine too. But most of us. 0:45:5.10 --> 0:45:8.760
Nicole
Um, you just live the way you want to. 0:45:10.170 --> 0:45:11.950
Nicole
It was pretty wild, that's for sure. 0:45:15.530 --> 0:45:21.460
Elizabeth Lafrance
Did members of your parents generation worry about pre marital sex? 0:45:22.30 --> 0:45:24.710
Nicole
Ohm. My God, my mother was so petrified for me to get pregnant. 0:45:25.410 --> 0:45:52.490
Nicole
And she didn't find out I was on the pill till much later. Didn't ask her permission to. I didn't dare talk about that. And it's only years later. And by then my sister, who's not much older and much younger than I was. And I'm the one who told her, alright, you're gonna do something. You better go get it and we could. We could go into a clinic. We could go into. It was right on campus. 0:45:53.850 --> 0:45:56.80
Nicole
That part you could find. 0:45:56.270 --> 0:46:0.980
Nicole
Um prescription for- for the pill, that's for sure. 0:46:2.130 --> 0:46:3.120
Nicole
It was. 0:46:5.350 --> 0:46:30.950
Nicole
It would. You just could find it. I- I went to my family doctor and by then I was one. And the other thing too. We were we were older because we had grade 13. Right. So we were one year older. So by the time we finished and I had to have a 5 year degree. So we were there for quite a while. So we were a lot older. 0:46:31.990 --> 0:46:33.570
Nicole
So that made a difference too. 0:46:34.660 --> 0:46:40.720
Nicole
But the decisions were easier to get to, and the- the bill was easy to get too, for sure. 0:46:41.440 --> 0:46:41.950
Nicole
Um. 0:46:42.850 --> 0:46:45.80
Nicole
And I think that changed. How. 0:46:46.610 --> 0:46:47.220
Nicole
We lived. 0:46:51.100 --> 0:46:52.80
Elizabeth Lafrance
So it's all my questions. 0:46:53.10 --> 0:46:56.590
Elizabeth Lafrance
I'm going to stop the recording and. 0:46:59.10 --> 0:46:59.680

0:5:21.220 Jeannette Logan Ohh，well，to be honest，I didn't do much typing。 0:5:23.140 --> 0:5:25.340 Jeannette Logan Everything。What was happening back then？ 0:5:27.850 --> 0:5:32.890 Jeannette Logan Because，uh，if things needed to be typed，I had a secretary who typed typed。 0:5:36.750 --> 0:5:38.310 Jeannette Logan Well，I learned I learned，um。 0:5:39.610 --> 0:5:45.170 Jeannette Logan I learned how to type，you're perfectly right。I wasn't a good typist，but I did learn how to type。 0:5:47.950 --> 0:5:48.870 Jeannette Logan What did they call it？ 0:5:50.900 --> 0:6:10.100 Jeannette Logan Like with with just with two two fingers not with all my fingers and I had to learn that when I got the job as a technical writer，that's right，OK？So when I became a technical writer，I had to learn how to type things and we had。 0:6:11.890 --> 0:6:15.690 Jeannette Logan So we had a central computer。I remember that。 0:6:16.950 --> 0:6:20.630 Jeannette Logan And we you，could you？ 0:6:21.10 --> 0:6:26.450 Jeannette Logan You could correct all your mistakes。I remember you learn how to correct your mistakes anyway。 0:6:29.290 --> 0:6:47.250 Jeannette Logan But to be honest，I think I used to write out my texts in longhand first and my and the secretary would type it in for the first time and then I would edit it afterwards。That's what that was。What happened at the beginning？We didn't have personal computers。 0:6:53.230 --> 0:6:53.590 Yuanming Tian OK。 0:6:48.150 --> 0:6:55.270 Jeannette Logan I didn't have a personal computer for quite some time。I don't think，certainly not in the nineteen

0:14:41.180 Jeannette Logan It says the main question is cultural historians have argued that television，Hollywood，popular music and a consumer culture built around automobiles created a more integrated North American popular culture otta。 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:47.720 Jeannette Logan Bilingual institution，and we want to better understand how anglophones and francophones related together。 0:14:48.990 --> 0:14:54.550 Jeannette Logan There was less electronics and Canadian society during the Seventies。How？ 0:14:54.850 --> 0:14:56.170 Jeannette Logan Pleasure time structured。 0:15:2.780

Logan Back in the back in the Seventies，I mean，I studied。I studied French and high school。 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:41.480 Jeannette Logan But it was only when did I start？ 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.880 Jeannette Logan Actually，I started studying French。 0:15:49.330 --> 0:15:54.810 Jeannette Logan At in the evening classes again in in about nineteen seventy five。 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:57.960 Jeannette Logan And I。 0:16:0.560 --> 0:16:2.840 Jeannette Logan I took conversational French classes。 0:16:4.270 --> 0:16:8.630 Jeannette Logan And then in the early eighties，I。 0:16:10.500 --> 0:16:27.180 Jeannette Logan I joined a sailing group where we most of the members were francophone，so I started really improving my French by the nineteen eighties and now I am fully bilingual。 0:16:29.60 --> 0:16:30.940 Jeannette Logan I can read and write in in French。 0:16:31.930 --> 0:16:33.50 Yuanming Tian OK sounds good。 0:16:34.150 --> 0:16:34.310 Yuanming Tian um？ 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:37.960 Yuanming Tian OK。 0:16:39.70 --> 0:16:43.990 Jeannette Logan Did anglophones and francophones date each other during the nineteen seventies。 0:16:47.890 --> 0:16:49.450 Jeannette Logan Probably not very much。 0:16:50.250 --> 0:16:50.570 Yuanming Tian um？ 0:16:50.410 --> 0:16:51.690 Jeannette Logan I didn't have any。 0:16:53.30 --> 0:16:56.710 Jeannette Logan Francophone boyfriends that I'm aware of，I don't think so。 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:1.720 Jeannette Logan Use the park party culture。 0:17:3.600 --> 0:17:6.840 Jeannette Logan One of the things I remember in the in the nineteen seventies was。 0:17:8.620 --> 0:17:18.580 Jeannette Logan I was not a member of a sorority or a fraternity，but a lot of the boys wear and they used to have what they call these frat parties。 0:17:20.260 --> 0:17:25.740 Jeannette Logan At the frat house fraternity house，and they were really。 0:17:28.460 --> 0:17:36.900 Jeannette Logan There was a lot of drinking alcohol in those places and in those days I did not drink very much。Thank goodness，but I certainly remember。 0:17:38.700 --> 0:17:51.260 Jeannette Logan The some of the boys getting very，very drunk。I remember something called purple Jesus it was。It was a type of alcohol that they mixed with grape juice and it was horrible。 0:17:53.470 --> 0:18:0.790 Jeannette Logan So I did not drink very much of it，but other people did，um，the other thing I remember was wine。 0:18:1.910 --> 0:18:9.310 Jeannette Logan Very sweet in those days，people drank very sweet wine，which I do not like it all and now I get very dry wine now。 0:18:11.470 --> 0:18:13.310 Yuanming Tian Yeah，I know，okay？ 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:18.880 Jeannette Logan All the Vietnam War that。 0:18:19.100 --> 0:18:19.820 Jeannette Logan Was an issue。 0:18:21.660 --> 0:18:22.660 Jeannette Logan We had。 0:18:25.220 --> 0:18:32.420 Jeannette Logan Young men that were called draft dodgers，they came up to Canada and I certainly knew some draft dodgers。 0:18:35.630 --> 0:18:36.750 Jeannette Logan In the Seventies。 0:18:39.370 --> 0:18:58.410 Jeannette Logan And one place where I worked，yes，that was in the Seventies we had some draft dodgers that were employed at at the at the I worked at the Ontario Science Center，and we had some American young men working there in the audio visual department。I remember that。 0:18:59.250 --> 0:19:1.650 Jeannette Logan Yeah，the Vietnam War that was awful。 0:19:3.850 --> 0:19:17.210 Jeannette Logan I remember a cousin of mine and who lives in the states，was drafted，but thank goodness he had flat feet for the so they didn't accept them as a soldier，so he didn't have to go to Vietnam。But I remember。 0:19:18.420 --> 0:19:18.540 Yuanming Tian um？ 0:19:20.110 --> 0:19:20.590 Yuanming Tian Okay。 0:19:24.510 --> 0:19:28.270 Jeannette Logan Oh rock and roll that was very big。Um。 0:19:28.570 --> 0:19:36.250 Jeannette Logan The friends who are in a rock and roll band and these were friends from from from my high school back in Perry sound and。 0:19:37.770 --> 0:19:59.370 Jeannette Logan They had AA band in the beginning called the Georgian four，which was named after a Georgian Bay。That's where we came from near Georgia Bay and then later on they actually recorded music under the name chemos DHIMO。And if you go on to YouTube today，you can hear chemo。 0:20:0.870 --> 0:20:1.150 Jeannette Logan Now。 0:20:2.130 --> 0:20:2.410 Yuanming Tian um？ 0:20:3.990 --> 0:20:5.150 Yuanming Tian OK thanks。 0:20:7.230 --> 0:20:8.190 Jeannette Logan Youth culture。 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:17.720 Yuanming Tian Yeah。 0:20:9.380 --> 0:20:25.300 Jeannette Logan Um，there was。I wasn't aware of any kind of drugs other than cigarettes。Cigarettes were all my goodness when I talked about the bars，that was one of the worst things about the bars that was so smoky，it was awful。I did。I never smoked。 0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:31.560 Jeannette Logan So I guess I probably tried a little marijuana now and then，but I didn't really。 0:20:32.740 --> 0:20:33.620 Yuanming Tian Yeah，and。 0:20:33.250 --> 0:20:36.890 Jeannette Logan I didn't really adopt any drugs at all。 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:39.480 Yuanming Tian Yeah，I think。 0:20:42.60 --> 0:20:47.140 Jeannette Logan But I do remember to talk about psychedelic drugs like LSD。That was。 0:20:49.410 --> 0:20:52.650 Jeannette Logan Talked about，but I was not familiar of any。 0:20:54.980 --> 0:20:59.900 Jeannette Logan Any um use of LSD in my friend。 0:21:2.30 --> 0:21:5.150 Jeannette Logan Now the next section is called the female experience。 0:21:5.560 --> 0:21:7.280 Yuanming Tian Yeah，female experience。 0:21:8.280 --> 0:21:13.880 Jeannette Logan It says cultural historian to written a lot about what they call the second wave feminism。 0:21:14.670 --> 0:21:14.830 Yuanming Tian um？ 0:21:14.860 --> 0:21:26.20 Jeannette Logan That as part of the counter coach of movement women during this early seventies，sought to breakdown gender barriers。Does this argument resonate with your experience？Yes，very much so。 0:21:27.740 --> 0:21:28.860 Jeannette Logan I was certainly a。 0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:35.40 Jeannette Logan A woman of that second wave feminism，I read a lot about it。 0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:44.280 Jeannette Logan I never changed my name。Jeanette Logan is my birthday，even though I have been be。 0:21:44.580 --> 0:21:52.700 Jeannette Logan II never changed my name。I always thought it was important to keep my own identity。I always had my own bank accounts。 0:21:55.460 --> 0:21:58.580 Jeannette Logan That was important，but also in the nineteen seventy。 0:21:59.700 --> 0:22:14.340 Jeannette Logan We were leading up to the the royal Commission on the status of women in the nineteen seventies here in Canada，and those were very important women to us。They。 0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:17.640 Jeannette Logan The way to to our freedom。 0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:21.520 Jeannette Logan Or，our independent。That's right that way。 0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:43.240 Jeannette Logan And in nineteen seventy five，that was the year the year of the woman，nineteen seventy five，but also I could say a big influence for women was the availability of the birth control field that came became available in the nineteen sixties。 0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:48.600 Jeannette Logan Till the late nineteen sixties，and that was。 0:22:49.980 --> 0:22:56.140 Jeannette Logan That certainly involved a lot，a lot more sexual freedom than before。 0:22:58.760 --> 0:22:59.280 Yuanming Tian OK。 0:23:2.470 --> 0:23:3.270 Yuanming Tian OK thanks。 0:23:5.30 --> 0:23:11.30 Jeannette Logan To what extent did your generation believe that your parents notion about gender or family and dating were outdated？ 0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:16.520 Jeannette Logan Well yes，I agree with that statement，except that my mother。 0:23:18.240 --> 0:23:39.800 Jeannette Logan She was not allowed to go to university when she she graduated the top of her class in high school and but it was at the beginning of the Second World War for her too，and it was important that she went out to work while my father went to overseas to fight。But。 0:23:51.610 --> 0:23:51.770 Yuanming Tian oh 0:23:42.90 --> 0:23:53.170 Jeannette Logan My mother was certainly in favor of education for all of all of our children and my father too。My family supported higher education，so that was important。 0:23:54.540 --> 0:23:54.660 Yuanming Tian um？ 0:23:55.440 --> 0:24:0.280 Jeannette Logan What part of Canadian society was most out of whack in need of fixing？ 0:24:2.280 --> 0:24:7.600 Jeannette Logan Good question。Oh well，job opportunities，job opportunities were poor for women。 0:24:9.400 --> 0:24:9.520 Jeannette Logan I。 0:24:9.740 --> 0:24:14.780 Jeannette Logan Could remember，and II could quote you when。 0:24:15.160 --> 0:24:26.280 Jeannette Logan For a job as a medical because I studied sciences and I had worked in medical labs at a hospital and also at clinics。 0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:57.760 Jeannette Logan I could I could take blood and other kinds of and do analysis，and I applied for a job。This is before I started teaching。I applied for a job，is to work in a laboratory and the man interviewing me told actually said to me，why would I hire you？You will just get married and have children and I won't have an employee anymore。I was twenty one years old and this is what he。 0:24:59.20 --> 0:25:15.140 Jeannette Logan He told me at the interview，so that was not very encouraging。I have to admit，so that's what I decided to go to，to go to teachers college because I wanted to help the next generation of children know more about science。So that's when I started teaching science in school。 0:25:17.500 --> 0:25:20.660 Jeannette Logan So I actually proved them wrong。I worked my whole life。 0:25:23.290 --> 0:25:23.770 Yuanming Tian Yeah。 0:25:25.980 --> 0:25:43.620 Jeannette Logan But there certainly was a glass ceiling that was II counted that throat in my whole career when I was still at university，I my original intentions were to be be a doctor and coming out of high。 0:25:51.40 --> 0:25:51.160 Yuanming Tian 。 0:25:44.180 --> 0:25:51.260 Jeannette Logan It's a valedictorian of my class and I had been accepted at three universities and。 0:25:54.50 --> 0:25:57.810 Jeannette Logan Throttle，Queens and western，and。 0:25:59.610 --> 0:26:2.90 Jeannette Logan But western offered me a very good scholarship。 0:26:3.770 --> 0:26:16.410 Jeannette Logan And my I was the eldest of six children and I thought that would be really helpful to have the scholarship，so I accepted their invitation to go to western，and then I discovered that。 0:26:18.290 --> 0:26:32.50 Jeannette Logan That I wouldn't be going into what was called pre Med in those days I had。I was going into AA standard science program and then I had to reapply for medical school after two years。 0:26:33.350 --> 0:26:56.790 Jeannette Logan And when I reapplied after two years，I did not get in。They had a quota on the number of women in in medical school at western。I think it was the same everywhere，but only twenty percent of the class could be female，so eighty percent of class was male and twenty percent was female。And my。 0:26:58.50 --> 0:27:12.290 Jeannette Logan Grades uh，I had seventy four point something percent，but that was not good enough。I had male colleagues in my chemistry class who got in with sixty six percent，but I couldn't get in with with seventy four。 0:27:14.290 --> 0:27:22.10 Jeannette Logan So I continued on in chemistry and graduated，but I didn't want to work in a laboratory，so that's how I ended up。 0:27:22.870 --> 0:27:27.870 Jeannette Logan Teaching but II don't regret it though I enjoy the teaching。 0:27:30.780 --> 0:27:36.260 Jeannette Logan OK，so where are we at that？That was out of whack，that's for sure，and that was injustice too。 0:27:37.650 --> 0:27:38.850 Yuanming Tian I also like teaching。 0:27:39.820 --> 0:27:44.540 Jeannette Logan You feel that the political system was democratic，fair and responsive to citizens needs。 0:27:46.220 --> 0:27:51.180 Jeannette Logan Well，I was quite involved with politics too。In those days，I certainly campaigned for。 0:27:52.920 --> 0:27:57.440 Jeannette Logan For for Pierre Elliott Trudeau。I was part of the youth。 0:27:59.280 --> 0:28:29.360 Jeannette Logan Do you use campaigning for for，uh，during that election？Um so II，actually my，my，my family was quite involved with politics at the local level，so it wasn't unusual，so I was I we we all look forward to having Pierre Trudeau as our as our Prime Minister。He seemed to be，he seemed to be more with it than。 0:28:30.820 --> 0:28:34.180 Jeannette Logan Than some of the other ones once we had before。 0:28:40.270 --> 0:28:43.470 Jeannette Logan OK，do you wanna go on to question number three now？ 0:28:44.120 --> 0:28:44.600 Yuanming Tian Yeah。 0:28:45.850 --> 0:28:58.730 Jeannette Logan Cultural historians have argued that the introduction of the birth control pill，legalization of abortion and dissemination of the free love ideology change，gender relations and dating practice in the early seventies。 0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:1.520 Jeannette Logan Yes，I would agree with that statement。 0:29:4.490 --> 0:29:10.210 Jeannette Logan I definitely，uh。I first took the birth control pill because I had very painful。 0:29:12.10 --> 0:29:30.330 Jeannette Logan Menstrual periods and I。But I can remember have being embarrassed going to pick up the the birth control pills at the drug store because the pharmacist or the person dispensing them would give you AA sly look about what，what are you going to do this weekend？I can remember being very。 0:29:31.390 --> 0:29:32.590 Jeannette Logan Improper，if you ask me？ 0:29:38.890 --> 0:29:49.130 Jeannette Logan Uh date with with a lot of dating at university。Uh，there were lots of，uh，events like dances and uh other。 0:29:51.50 --> 0:30:2.490 Jeannette Logan Other um social events that happened and I was a very social person，so I participated a lot of them and I had a number of boyfriends，but only。 0:30:2.710 --> 0:30:8.550 Jeannette Logan Few of them became intimate boyfriends or very few to be honest，but some。 0:30:10.930 --> 0:30:11.450 Yuanming Tian OK。 0:30:15.60 --> 0:30:17.540 Jeannette Logan How did your generation look at family and marriage？ 0:30:18.920 --> 0:30:21.600 Jeannette Logan Well，yes，that was，um。 0:30:25.710 --> 0:30:26.710 Jeannette Logan You basically，you know？ 0:30:27.760 --> 0:30:31.720 Jeannette Logan You're basically where it's supposed to get pregnant。Unfortunately，I did。 0:30:33.520 --> 0:30:37.520 Jeannette Logan And getting it getting an abortion was even though it was supposedly legal。 0:30:39.260 --> 0:30:39.580 Jeannette Logan Was not。 0:30:40.740 --> 0:30:57.660 Jeannette Logan Not readily available。Let's put it that way and I ended up having um，an illegal abortion which was not a pleasant experience。Well，the experience wasn't too bad，but the aftermath was unpleasant and I ended up in the hospital，so that was。 0:30:58.370 --> 0:31:1.490 Jeannette Logan Not a good experience，I have to admit。 0:31:2.600 --> 0:31:4.960 Jeannette Logan But that was the way things were those days。 0:31:7.150 --> 0:31:7.630 Yuanming Tian OK。 0:31:13.500 --> 0:31:22.380 Jeannette Logan Ohh，I remember when my my sister got pregnant as well，and，um，this was well with a little bit after me，of course，but。 0:31:24.340 --> 0:31:26.340 Jeannette Logan One and she。 0:31:26.720 --> 0:31:52.320 Jeannette Logan Miscarriage and she went to the local hospital and I remember my mother refused to go and visit her in the hospital because we lived in a small town and she was not going to go and and show her face because her daughter was there who had a miscarriage so that sort of shows what the feeling was about having a child out of wedlock and not being married。 0:31:57.660 --> 0:32:3.220 Jeannette Logan OK，so the next section is called sexuality and harassment。 0:32:6.300 --> 0:32:15.900 Jeannette Logan Many universities today have been forced to police sexual harassment to what extent the university authorities monitor mixers and social events to keep women safe。 0:32:17.190 --> 0:32:21.830 Jeannette Logan Well，I have to be honest，I never felt unsafe，so I'm not。 0:32:23.730 --> 0:32:26.650 Jeannette Logan All the dances and whatever did have monitors there。 0:32:28.350 --> 0:32:30.110 Jeannette Logan I would suspect if somebody。 0:32:31.360 --> 0:32:34.760 Jeannette Logan Thought they were in trouble。They might be able to get some help。 0:32:36.960 --> 0:32:38.360 Jeannette Logan But，but to be honest。 0:32:41.560 --> 0:32:42.440 Jeannette Logan I didn't have。 0:32:44.520 --> 0:32:52.760 Jeannette Logan Any problems at university that I recall feeling harassed or I was pretty good at looking after myself，I guess？ 0:32:54.590 --> 0:32:55.750 Jeannette Logan Speaking up for myself。 0:33:3.400 --> 0:33:16.480 Jeannette Logan What our generation is interested in a free love movement。What was the perception of premarital sex on the campus in the Seventies？Was it viewed，negatively accepted or even encouraged？ 0:33:18.560 --> 0:33:24.680 Jeannette Logan I don't recall it being encouraged，but it wasn't。It wasn't unacceptable。 0:33:26.440 --> 0:33:33.720 Jeannette Logan But when you say free love though，I certainly wouldn't have was never an adherent of of different sexual partners at the same time。 0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:47.760 Jeannette Logan II was one one boyfriend at a time person and usually a boyfriend that I'd had for for a period of time，not just not just the first date kind of arrangement。 0:33:48.920 --> 0:33:50.240 Yuanming Tian Ohh OK。 0:33:58.980 --> 0:34:2.140 Jeannette Logan Of your parents generation worry about premarital sex。 0:34:4.70 --> 0:34:10.990 Jeannette Logan Well，if they did，I don't remember them talking to me about it other than I guess it was sort of a understood that。 0:34:12.370 --> 0:34:14.530 Jeannette Logan That was a dangerous thing to to do。 0:34:16.410 --> 0:34:20.450 Jeannette Logan Because，well，unless you were，unless you were on the birth control pill。 0:34:22.630 --> 0:34:26.870 Jeannette Logan Which once it was available，I was，I was，I was on the birth control pill。 0:34:47.10 --> 0:34:47.130 Yuanming Tian Huh？ 0:34:28.330 --> 0:34:58.50 Jeannette Logan Years like all the time，but although I do remember these，they used to say that you shouldn't stay on the brisket tool for for a long period of time and they advised you to get off it for a couple of months each year。That that's what I got pregnant。That's what I remember，and I could tell you that unfortunately，poorest poor sexual education didn't help my boyfriend at the time，who had been a boyfriend for quite some time。 0:34:59.630 --> 0:35:24.30 Jeannette Logan Didn't realize that he could impregnate me before he had an orgasm，so he would determine ignorant because he didn't know that he didn't know that information，but that was that was the cause of me getting pregnant because he was unaware even though and I can remember I tried to talk him out of it，but that didn't work。Come to think of it。 0:35:25.120 --> 0:35:26.600 Yuanming Tian OK no problem。 0:35:29.690 --> 0:35:32.10 Yuanming Tian It shouldn't be all finished。 0:35:33.620 --> 0:35:35.340 Jeannette Logan Have I answered all the questions now？ 0:35:36.550 --> 0:35:38.590 Yuanming Tian Uh，maybe no question。 0:35:39.990 --> 0:35:41.910 Yuanming Tian Let me see just a second。 0:35:42.920 --> 0:35:43.40 Yuanming Tian um。 0:35:44.410 --> 0:35:46.650 Yuanming Tian Just a second I want to see。 0:35:48.250 --> 0:35:49.730 Yuanming Tian Maybe it's no question。 0:35:50.220 --> 0:35:51.140 Jeannette Logan No more questions。 0:35:51.580 --> 0:35:52.580 Yuanming Tian Yeah，maybe，um？ 0:35:53.110 --> 0:35:53.470 Jeannette Logan Maybe。 0:35:58.40 --> 0:36:0.440 Jeannette Logan Are you asking？Is there anything else I wish to add？ 0:36:5.450 --> 0:36:8.530 Yuanming Tian Uh，yeah，yeah，you can。You can do it。 0:36:14.260 --> 0:36:25.300 Jeannette Logan Well，um，I would say that nineteen seventies was a，um。There were a lot of things happening in the nineteen seventies，not just with the women's liberation。 0:36:27.60 --> 0:36:33.660 Jeannette Logan The other thing that was that was coming on board then was talk about the environment。 0:36:35.700 --> 0:36:39.460 Jeannette Logan We were already having started。 0:36:39.680 --> 0:36:47.920 Jeannette Logan I can remember I was recycling bottles and cans and papers from the beginning in the nineteen seventies in Ottawa。 0:36:49.570 --> 0:36:49.810 Yuanming Tian OK。 0:36:49.300 --> 0:36:56.60 Jeannette Logan Um，I lived in，uh，I lived in Ottawa during the nineteen seventies，and um。 0:36:57.900 --> 0:36:59.180 Jeannette Logan And I also remember。 0:37:0.780 --> 0:37:10.620 Jeannette Logan Learning about because I worked at the Ontario Science Center at one point in Toronto，and we had AA new。 0:37:10.700 --> 0:37:12.860 Jeannette Logan Exhibition area called。 0:37:15.140 --> 0:37:29.980 Jeannette Logan Planet earth and it was based on ecology，so I learned about ecology in the relationship between the environment and and everything in the environment，and I。 0:37:30.680 --> 0:37:42.120 Jeannette Logan Learned about groups of people that were working to alert us to the problems that were appearing in our environment，and there was a。 0:37:44.100 --> 0:37:46.540 Jeannette Logan Group in Switzerland，I think。 0:37:50.150 --> 0:38:2.670 Jeannette Logan I'm trying to know what they were called though，but they。They produced a book called limits to growth，and if I remember correctly it was published in nineteen seventy five and it basically said that。 0:38:4.550 --> 0:38:16.190 Jeannette Logan We couldn't keep on just thinking we could grow bigger and better，bigger and better every year and not destroy the environment basically so。 0:38:16.610 --> 0:38:22.730 Jeannette Logan And Dr Suzuki was David Suzuki was was beginning in those years。 0:38:24.530 --> 0:38:27.930 Jeannette Logan He he was the original produc。 0:38:28.610 --> 0:38:35.10 Jeannette Logan The radio program called quirks and quarks，which is on CBC radio still today。 0:38:36.270 --> 0:38:45.710 Jeannette Logan And um and and he was talking about the environment back back then，and so when I，my career towards。 0:38:47.550 --> 0:38:48.510 Jeannette Logan Towards the end。 0:38:51.350 --> 0:39:12.670 Jeannette Logan I was working in the field of environment and and this was because of what I learned back in the nineteen seventies。I was now into the nineteen nineties，but I was really conscious of of the concern for the environment and look at us。Look at us now like。 0:39:14.670 --> 0:39:27.310 Jeannette Logan How many，how many more years？I would agree about？Thirty years later，after the nineteen nineties and we're talking about a climate crisis，but we were already talking about the potential for a climate crisis in the nineteen seventies，so。 0:39:29.70 --> 0:39:36.30 Jeannette Logan It was a very important decade if you asked me and I。 0:39:36.230 --> 0:39:38.230 Jeannette Logan At A at a very significant。 0:39:38.690 --> 0:39:48.290 Jeannette Logan On not only my life personally，but also my career and and my activity，my activism today。 0:39:50.70 --> 0:39:56.150 Jeannette Logan I am still active in in society，trying to help the environment and。 0:39:57.350 --> 0:40:1.590 Jeannette Logan Other important things。So like I said，that's about all I wanted to say。 0:40:3.600 --> 0:40:4.880 Yuanming Tian OK sounds good。 0:40:8.90 --> 0:40:18.50 Jeannette Logan Well，thank you。Thank you，Philip。Um

0:14:41.180 Jeannette Logan It says the main question is cultural historians have argued that television，Hollywood，popular music and a consumer culture built around automobiles created a more integrated North American popular culture otta。 0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:47.720 Jeannette Logan Bilingual institution，and we want to better understand how anglophones and francophones related together。 0:14:48.990 --> 0:14:54.550 Jeannette Logan There was less electronics and Canadian society during the Seventies。How？ 0:14:54.850 --> 0:14:56.170 Jeannette Logan Pleasure time structured。 0:15:2.780

music？Yes，yes，we had lots of live music，which was great。 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.920 Jeannette Logan Now you're saying that Ottawa was a bilingual institution。 0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:36.560 Jeannette Logan Back in the back in the Seventies，I mean，I studied。I studied French and high school。 0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:41.480 Jeannette Logan But it was only when did I start？ 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.880 Jeannette Logan Actually，I started studying French。 0:15:49.330 --> 0:15:54.810 Jeannette Logan At in the evening classes again in in about nineteen seventy five。 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:57.960 Jeannette Logan And I。 0:16:0.560 --> 0:16:2.840 Jeannette Logan I took conversational French classes。 0:16:4.270 --> 0:16:8.630 Jeannette Logan And then in the early eighties，I。 0:16:10.500 --> 0:16:27.180 Jeannette Logan I joined a sailing group where we most of the members were francophone，so I started really improving my French by the nineteen eighties and now I am fully bilingual。 0:16:29.60 --> 0:16:30.940 Jeannette Logan I can read and write in in French。 0:16:31.930 --> 0:16:33.50 Yuanming Tian OK sounds good。 0:16:34.150 --> 0:16:34.310 Yuanming Tian um？ 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:37.960 Yuanming Tian OK。 0:16:39.70 --> 0:16:43.990 Jeannette Logan Did anglophones and francophones date each other during the nineteen seventies。 0:16:47.890 --> 0:16:49.450 Jeannette Logan Probably not very much。 0:16:50.250 --> 0:16:50.570 Yuanming Tian um？ 0:16:50.410 --> 0:16:51.690 Jeannette Logan I didn't have any。 0:16:53.30 --> 0:16:56.710 Jeannette Logan Francophone boyfriends that I'm aware of，I don't think so。 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:1.720 Jeannette Logan Use the park party culture。 0:17:3.600 --> 0:17:6.840 Jeannette Logan One of the things I remember in the in the nineteen seventies was。 0:17:8.620 --> 0:17:18.580 Jeannette Logan I was not a member of a sorority or a fraternity，but a lot of the boys wear and they used to have what they call these frat parties。 0:17:20.260 --> 0:17:25.740 Jeannette Logan At the frat house fraternity house，and they were really。 0:17:28.460 --> 0:17:36.900 Jeannette Logan There was a lot of drinking alcohol in those places and in those days I did not drink very much。Thank goodness，but I certainly remember。 0:17:38.700 --> 0:17:51.260 Jeannette Logan The some of the boys getting very，very drunk。I remember something called purple Jesus it was。It was a type of alcohol that they mixed with grape juice and it was horrible。 0:17:53.470 --> 0:18:0.790 Jeannette Logan So I did not drink very much of it，but other people did，um，the other thing I remember was wine。 0:18:1.910 --> 0:18:9.310 Jeannette Logan Very sweet in those days，people drank very sweet wine，which I do not like it all and now I get very dry wine now。 0:18:11.470 --> 0:18:13.310 Yuanming Tian Yeah，I know，okay？ 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:18.880 Jeannette Logan All the Vietnam War that。 0:18:19.100 --> 0:18:19.820 Jeannette Logan Was an issue。 0:18:21.660 --> 0:18:22.660 Jeannette Logan We had。 0:18:25.220 --> 0:18:32.420 Jeannette Logan Young men that were called draft dodgers，they came up to Canada and I certainly knew some draft dodgers。 0:18:35.630 --> 0:18:36.750 Jeannette Logan In the Seventies。 0:18:39.370 --> 0:18:58.410 Jeannette Logan And one place where I worked，yes，that was in the Seventies we had some draft dodgers that were employed at at the at the I worked at the Ontario Science Center，and we had some American young men working there in the audio visual department。I remember that。 0:18:59.250 --> 0:19:1.650 Jeannette Logan Yeah，the Vietnam War that was awful。 0:19:3.850 --> 0:19:17.210 Jeannette Logan I remember a cousin of mine and who lives in the states，was drafted，but thank goodness he had flat feet for the so they didn't accept them as a soldier，so he didn't have to go to Vietnam。But I remember。 0:19:18.420 --> 0:19:18.540 Yuanming Tian um？ 0:19:20.110 --> 0:19:20.590 Yuanming Tian Okay。 0:19:24.510 --> 0:19:28.270 Jeannette Logan Oh rock and roll that was very big。Um。 0:19:28.570 --> 0:19:36.250 Jeannette Logan The friends who are in a rock and roll band and these were friends from from from my high school back in Perry sound and。 0:19:37.770 --> 0:19:59.370 Jeannette Logan They had AA band in the beginning called the Georgian four，which was named after a Georgian Bay。That's where we came from near Georgia Bay and then later on they actually recorded music under the name chemos DHIMO。And if you go on to YouTube today，you can hear chemo。 0:20:0.870 --> 0:20:1.150 Jeannette Logan Now。 0:20:2.130 --> 0:20:2.410 Yuanming Tian um？ 0:20:3.990 --> 0:20:5.150 Yuanming Tian OK thanks。 0:20:7.230 --> 0:20:8.190 Jeannette Logan Youth culture。 0:20:17.240 --> 0:20:17.720 Yuanming Tian Yeah。 0:20:9.380 --> 0:20:25.300 Jeannette Logan Um，there was。I wasn't aware of any kind of drugs other than cigarettes。Cigarettes were all my goodness when I talked about the bars，that was one of the worst things about the bars that was so smoky，it was awful。I did。I never smoked。 0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:31.560 Jeannette Logan So I guess I probably tried a little marijuana now and then，but I didn't really。 0:20:32.740 --> 0:20:33.620 Yuanming Tian Yeah，and。 0:20:33.250 --> 0:20:36.890 Jeannette Logan I didn't really adopt any drugs at all。 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:39.480 Yuanming Tian Yeah，I think。 0:20:42.60 --> 0:20:47.140 Jeannette Logan But I do remember to talk about psychedelic drugs like LSD。That was。 0:20:49.410 --> 0:20:52.650 Jeannette Logan Talked about，but I was not familiar of any。 0:20:54.980 --> 0:20:59.900 Jeannette Logan Any um use of LSD in my friend。 0:21:2.30 --> 0:21:5.150 Jeannette Logan Now the next section is called the female experience。 0:21:5.560 --> 0:21:7.280 Yuanming Tian Yeah，female experience。 0:21:8.280 --> 0:21:13.880 Jeannette Logan It says cultural historian to written a lot about what they call the second wave feminism。 0:21:14.670 --> 0:21:14.830 Yuanming Tian um？ 0:21:14.860 --> 0:21:26.20 Jeannette Logan That as part of the counter coach of movement women during this early seventies，sought to breakdown gender barriers。Does this argument resonate with your experience？Yes，very much so。 0:21:27.740 --> 0:21:28.860 Jeannette Logan I was certainly a。 0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:35.40 Jeannette Logan A woman of that second wave feminism，I read a lot about it。 0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:44.280 Jeannette Logan I never changed my name。Jeanette Logan is my birthday，even though I have been be。 0:21:44.580 --> 0:21:52.700 Jeannette Logan II never changed my name。I always thought it was important to keep my own identity。I always had my own bank accounts。 0:21:55.460 --> 0:21:58.580 Jeannette Logan That was important，but also in the nineteen seventy。 0:21:59.700 --> 0:22:14.340 Jeannette Logan We were leading up to the the royal Commission on the status of women in the nineteen seventies here in Canada，and those were very important women to us。They。 0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:17.640 Jeannette Logan The way to to our freedom。 0:22:19.400 --> 0:22:21.520 Jeannette Logan Or，our independent。That's right that way。 0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:43.240 Jeannette Logan And in nineteen seventy five，that was the year the year of the woman，nineteen seventy five，but also I could say a big influence for women was the availability of the birth control field that came became available in the nineteen sixties。 0:22:45.240 --> 0:22:48.600 Jeannette Logan Till the late nineteen sixties，and that was。 0:22:49.980 --> 0:22:56.140 Jeannette Logan That certainly involved a lot，a lot more sexual freedom than before。 0:22:58.760 --> 0:22:59.280 Yuanming Tian OK。 0:23:2.470 --> 0:23:3.270 Yuanming Tian OK thanks。 0:23:5.30 --> 0:23:11.30 Jeannette Logan To what extent did your generation believe that your parents notion about gender or family and dating were outdated？ 0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:16.520 Jeannette Logan Well yes，I agree with that statement，except that my mother。 0:23:18.240 --> 0:23:39.800 Jeannette Logan She was not allowed to go to university when she she graduated the top of her class in high school and but it was at the beginning of the Second World War for her too，and it was important that she went out to work while my father went to overseas to fight。But。 0:23:51.610 --> 0:23:51.770 Yuanming Tian oh 0:23:42.90 --> 0:23:53.170 Jeannette Logan My mother was certainly in favor of education for all of all of our children and my father too。My family supported higher education，so that was important。 0:23:54.540 --> 0:23:54.660 Yuanming Tian um？ 0:23:55.440 --> 0:24:0.280 Jeannette Logan What part of Canadian society was most out of whack in need of fixing？ 0:24:2.280 --> 0:24:7.600 Jeannette Logan Good question。Oh well，job opportunities，job opportunities were poor for women。 0:24:9.400 --> 0:24:9.520 Jeannette Logan I。 0:24:9.740 --> 0:24:14.780 Jeannette Logan Could remember，and II could quote you when。 0:24:15.160 --> 0:24:26.280 Jeannette Logan For a job as a medical because I studied sciences and I had worked in medical labs at a hospital and also at clinics。 0:24:28.160 --> 0:24:57.760 Jeannette Logan I could I could take blood and other kinds of and do analysis，and I applied for a job。This is before I started teaching。I applied for a job，is to work in a laboratory and the man interviewing me told actually said to me，why would I hire you？You will just get married and have children and I won't have an employee anymore。I was twenty one years old and this is what he。 0:24:59.20 --> 0:25:15.140 Jeannette Logan He told me at the interview，so that was not very encouraging。I have to admit，so that's what I decided to go to，to go to teachers college because I wanted to help the next generation of children know more about science。So that's when I started teaching science in school。 0:25:17.500 --> 0:25:20.660 Jeannette Logan So I actually proved them wrong。I worked my whole life。 0:25:23.290 --> 0:25:23.770 Yuanming Tian Yeah。 0:25:25.980 --> 0:25:43.620 Jeannette Logan But there certainly was a glass ceiling that was II counted that throat in my whole career when I was still at university，I my original intentions were to be be a doctor and coming out of high。 0:25:51.40 --> 0:25:51.160 Yuanming Tian 。 0:25:44.180 --> 0:25:51.260 Jeannette Logan It's a valedictorian of my class and I had been accepted at three universities and。 0:25:54.50 --> 0:25:57.810 Jeannette Logan Throttle，Queens and western，and。 0:25:59.610 --> 0:26:2.90 Jeannette Logan But western offered me a very good scholarship。 0:26:3.770 --> 0:26:16.410 Jeannette Logan And my I was the eldest of six children and I thought that would be really helpful to have the scholarship，so I accepted their invitation to go to western，and then I discovered that。 0:26:18.290 --> 0:26:32.50 Jeannette Logan That I wouldn't be going into what was called pre Med in those days I had。I was going into AA standard science program and then I had to reapply for medical school after two years。 0:26:33.350 --> 0:26:56.790 Jeannette Logan And when I reapplied after two years，I did not get in。They had a quota on the number of women in in medical school at western。I think it was the same everywhere，but only twenty percent of the class could be female，so eighty percent of class was male and twenty percent was female。And my。 0:26:58.50 --> 0:27:12.290 Jeannette Logan Grades uh，I had seventy four point something percent，but that was not good enough。I had male colleagues in my chemistry class who got in with sixty six percent，but I couldn't get in with with seventy four。 0:27:14.290 --> 0:27:22.10 Jeannette Logan So I continued on in chemistry and graduated，but I didn't want to work in a laboratory，so that's how I ended up。 0:27:22.870 --> 0:27:27.870 Jeannette Logan Teaching but II don't regret it though I enjoy the teaching。 0:27:30.780 --> 0:27:36.260 Jeannette Logan OK，so where are we at that？That was out of whack，that's for sure，and that was injustice too。 0:27:37.650 --> 0:27:38.850 Yuanming Tian I also like teaching。 0:27:39.820 --> 0:27:44.540 Jeannette Logan You feel that the political system was democratic，fair and responsive to citizens needs。 0:27:46.220 --> 0:27:51.180 Jeannette Logan Well，I was quite involved with politics too。In those days，I certainly campaigned for。 0:27:52.920 --> 0:27:57.440 Jeannette Logan For for Pierre Elliott Trudeau。I was part of the youth。 0:27:59.280 --> 0:28:29.360 Jeannette Logan Do you use campaigning for for，uh，during that election？Um so II，actually my，my，my family was quite involved with politics at the local level，so it wasn't unusual，so I was I we we all look forward to having Pierre Trudeau as our as our Prime Minister。He seemed to be，he seemed to be more with it than。 0:28:30.820 --> 0:28:34.180 Jeannette Logan Than some of the other ones once we had before。 0:28:40.270 --> 0:28:43.470 Jeannette Logan OK，do you wanna go on to question number three now？ 0:28:44.120 --> 0:28:44.600 Yuanming Tian Yeah。 0:28:45.850 --> 0:28:58.730 Jeannette Logan Cultural historians have argued that the introduction of the birth control pill，legalization of abortion and dissemination of the free love ideology change，gender relations and dating practice in the early seventies。 0:28:59.640 --> 0:29:1.520 Jeannette Logan Yes，I would agree with that statement。 0:29:4.490 --> 0:29:10.210 Jeannette Logan I definitely，uh。I first took the birth control pill because I had very painful。 0:29:12.10 --> 0:29:30.330 Jeannette Logan Menstrual periods and I。But I can remember have being embarrassed going to pick up the the birth control pills at the drug store because the pharmacist or the person dispensing them would give you AA sly look about what，what are you going to do this weekend？I can remember being very。 0:29:31.390 --> 0:29:32.590 Jeannette Logan Improper，if you ask me？ 0:29:38.890 --> 0:29:49.130 Jeannette Logan Uh date with with a lot of dating at university。Uh，there were lots of，uh，events like dances and uh other。 0:29:51.50 --> 0:30:2.490 Jeannette Logan Other um social events that happened and I was a very social person，so I participated a lot of them and I had a number of boyfriends，but only。 0:30:2.710 --> 0:30:8.550 Jeannette Logan Few of them became intimate boyfriends or very few to be honest，but some。 0:30:10.930 --> 0:30:11.450 Yuanming Tian OK。 0:30:15.60 --> 0:30:17.540 Jeannette Logan How did your generation look at family and marriage？ 0:30:18.920 --> 0:30:21.600 Jeannette Logan Well，yes，that was，um。 0:30:25.710 --> 0:30:26.710 Jeannette Logan You basically，you know？ 0:30:27.760 --> 0:30:31.720 Jeannette Logan You're basically where it's supposed to get pregnant。Unfortunately，I did。 0:30:33.520 --> 0:30:37.520 Jeannette Logan And getting it getting an abortion was even though it was supposedly legal。 0:30:39.260 --> 0:30:39.580 Jeannette Logan Was not。 0:30:40.740 --> 0:30:57.660 Jeannette Logan Not readily available。Let's put it that way and I ended up having um，an illegal abortion which was not a pleasant experience。Well，the experience wasn't too bad，but the aftermath was unpleasant and I ended up in the hospital，so that was。 0:30:58.370 --> 0:31:1.490 Jeannette Logan Not a good experience，I have to admit。 0:31:2.600 --> 0:31:4.960 Jeannette Logan But that was the way things were those days。 0:31:7.150 --> 0:31:7.630 Yuanming Tian OK。 0:31:13.500 --> 0:31:22.380 Jeannette Logan Ohh，I remember when my my sister got pregnant as well，and，um，this was well with a little bit after me，of course，but。 0:31:24.340 --> 0:31:26.340 Jeannette Logan One and she。 0:31:26.720 --> 0:31:52.320 Jeannette Logan Miscarriage and she went to the local hospital and I remember my mother refused to go and visit her in the hospital because we lived in a small town and she was not going to go and and show her face because her daughter was there who had a miscarriage so that sort of shows what the feeling was about having a child out of wedlock and not being married。 0:31:57.660 --> 0:32:3.220 Jeannette Logan OK，so the next section is called sexuality and harassment。 0:32:6.300 --> 0:32:15.900 Jeannette Logan Many universities today have been forced to police sexual harassment to what extent the university authorities monitor mixers and social events to keep women safe。 0:32:17.190 --> 0:32:21.830 Jeannette Logan Well，I have to be honest，I never felt unsafe，so I'm not。 0:32:23.730 --> 0:32:26.650 Jeannette Logan All the dances and whatever did have monitors there。 0:32:28.350 --> 0:32:30.110 Jeannette Logan I would suspect if somebody。 0:32:31.360 --> 0:32:34.760 Jeannette Logan Thought they were in trouble。They might be able to get some help。 0:32:36.960 --> 0:32:38.360 Jeannette Logan But，but to be honest。 0:32:41.560 --> 0:32:42.440 Jeannette Logan I didn't have。 0:32:44.520 --> 0:32:52.760 Jeannette Logan Any problems at university that I recall feeling harassed or I was pretty good at looking after myself，I guess？ 0:32:54.590 --> 0:32:55.750 Jeannette Logan Speaking up for myself。 0:33:3.400 --> 0:33:16.480 Jeannette Logan What our generation is interested in a free love movement。What was the perception of premarital sex on the campus in the Seventies？Was it viewed，negatively accepted or even encouraged？ 0:33:18.560 --> 0:33:24.680 Jeannette Logan I don't recall it being encouraged，but it wasn't。It wasn't unacceptable。 0:33:26.440 --> 0:33:33.720 Jeannette Logan But when you say free love though，I certainly wouldn't have was never an adherent of of different sexual partners at the same time。 0:33:35.880 --> 0:33:47.760 Jeannette Logan II was one one boyfriend at a time person and usually a boyfriend that I'd had for for a period of time，not just not just the first date kind of arrangement。 0:33:48.920 --> 0:33:50.240 Yuanming Tian Ohh OK。 0:33:58.980 --> 0:34:2.140 Jeannette Logan Of your parents generation worry about premarital sex。 0:34:4.70 --> 0:34:10.990 Jeannette Logan Well，if they did，I don't remember them talking to me about it other than I guess it was sort of a understood that。 0:34:12.370 --> 0:34:14.530 Jeannette Logan That was a dangerous thing to to do。 0:34:16.410 --> 0:34:20.450 Jeannette Logan Because，well，unless you were，unless you were on the birth control pill。 0:34:22.630 --> 0:34:26.870 Jeannette Logan Which once it was available，I was，I was，I was on the birth control pill。 0:34:47.10 --> 0:34:47.130 Yuanming Tian Huh？ 0:34:28.330 --> 0:34:58.50 Jeannette Logan Years like all the time，but although I do remember these，they used to say that you shouldn't stay on the brisket tool for for a long period of time and they advised you to get off it for a couple of months each year。That that's what I got pregnant。That's what I remember，and I could tell you that unfortunately，poorest poor sexual education didn't help my boyfriend at the time，who had been a boyfriend for quite some time。 0:34:59.630 --> 0:35:24.30 Jeannette Logan Didn't realize that he could impregnate me before he had an orgasm，so he would determine ignorant because he didn't know that he didn't know that information，but that was that was the cause of me getting pregnant because he was unaware even though and I can remember I tried to talk him out of it，but that didn't work。Come to think of it。 0:35:25.120 --> 0:35:26.600 Yuanming Tian OK no problem。 0:35:29.690 --> 0:35:32.10 Yuanming Tian It shouldn't be all finished。 0:35:33.620 --> 0:35:35.340 Jeannette Logan Have I answered all the questions now？ 0:35:36.550 --> 0:35:38.590 Yuanming Tian Uh，maybe no question。 0:35:39.990 --> 0:35:41.910 Yuanming Tian Let me see just a second。 0:35:42.920 --> 0:35:43.40 Yuanming Tian um。 0:35:44.410 --> 0:35:46.650 Yuanming Tian Just a second I want to see。 0:35:48.250 --> 0:35:49.730 Yuanming Tian Maybe it's no question。 0:35:50.220 --> 0:35:51.140 Jeannette Logan No more questions。 0:35:51.580 --> 0:35:52.580 Yuanming Tian Yeah，maybe，um？ 0:35:53.110 --> 0:35:53.470 Jeannette Logan Maybe。 0:35:58.40 --> 0:36:0.440 Jeannette Logan Are you asking？Is there anything else I wish to add？ 0:36:5.450 --> 0:36:8.530 Yuanming Tian Uh，yeah，yeah，you can。You can do it。 0:36:14.260 --> 0:36:25.300 Jeannette Logan Well，um，I would say that nineteen seventies was a，um。There were a lot of things happening in the nineteen seventies，not just with the women's liberation。 0:36:27.60 --> 0:36:33.660 Jeannette Logan The other thing that was that was coming on board then was talk about the environment。 0:36:35.700 --> 0:36:39.460 Jeannette Logan We were already having started。 0:36:39.680 --> 0:36:47.920 Jeannette Logan I can remember I was recycling bottles and cans and papers from the beginning in the nineteen seventies in Ottawa。 0:36:49.570 --> 0:36:49.810 Yuanming Tian OK。 0:36:49.300 --> 0:36:56.60 Jeannette Logan Um，I lived in，uh，I lived in Ottawa during the nineteen seventies，and um。 0:36:57.900 --> 0:36:59.180 Jeannette Logan And I also remember。 0:37:0.780 --> 0:37:10.620 Jeannette Logan Learning about because I worked at the Ontario Science Center at one point in Toronto，and we had AA new。 0:37:10.700 --> 0:37:12.860 Jeannette Logan Exhibition area called。 0:37:15.140 --> 0:37:29.980 Jeannette Logan Planet earth and it was based on ecology，so I learned about ecology in the relationship between the environment and and everything in the environment，and I。 0:37:30.680 --> 0:37:42.120 Jeannette Logan Learned about groups of people that were working to alert us to the problems that were appearing in our environment，and there was a。 0:37:44.100 --> 0:37:46.540 Jeannette Logan Group in Switzerland，I think。 0:37:50.150 --> 0:38:2.670 Jeannette Logan I'm trying to know what they were called though，but they。They produced a book called limits to growth，and if I remember correctly it was published in nineteen seventy five and it basically said that。 0:38:4.550 --> 0:38:16.190 Jeannette Logan We couldn't keep on just thinking we could grow bigger and better，bigger and better every year and not destroy the environment basically so。 0:38:16.610 --> 0:38:22.730 Jeannette Logan And Dr Suzuki was David Suzuki was was beginning in those years。 0:38:24.530 --> 0:38:27.930 Jeannette Logan He he was the original produc。 0:38:28.610 --> 0:38:35.10 Jeannette Logan The radio program called quirks and quarks，which is on CBC radio still today。 0:38:36.270 --> 0:38:45.710 Jeannette Logan And um and and he was talking about the environment back back then，and so when I，my career towards。 0:38:47.550 --> 0:38:48.510 Jeannette Logan Towards the end。 0:38:51.350 --> 0:39:12.670 Jeannette Logan I was working in the field of environment and and this was because of what I learned back in the nineteen seventies。I was now into the nineteen nineties，but I was really conscious of of the concern for the environment and look at us。Look at us now like。 0:39:14.670 --> 0:39:27.310 Jeannette Logan How many，how many more years？I would agree about？Thirty years later，after the nineteen nineties and we're talking about a climate crisis，but we were already talking about the potential for a climate crisis in the nineteen seventies，so。 0:39:29.70 --> 0:39:36.30 Jeannette Logan It was a very important decade if you asked me and I。 0:39:36.230 --> 0:39:38.230 Jeannette Logan At A at a very significant。 0:39:38.690 --> 0:39:48.290 Jeannette Logan On not only my life personally，but also my career and and my activity，my activism today。 0:39:50.70 --> 0:39:56.150 Jeannette Logan I am still active in in society，trying to help the environment and。 0:39:57.350 --> 0:40:1.590 Jeannette Logan Other important things。So like I said，that's about all I wanted to say。 0:40:3.600 --> 0:40:4.880 Yuanming Tian OK sounds good。 0:40:8.90 --> 0:40:18.50 Jeannette Logan Well，thank you。Thank you，Philip。Um
