The Telegram that launched Canada’s Involvement in the Suez Crisis

Lester Pearson, Canada’s Minister of External Relations, sent a telegram to London in late July 1957 that outlined his early thinking on how this country could be involved in helping to defuse a potentially dangerous international crisis. Patrice Dutil discusses it with Antony Anderson, a Toronto filmmaker and author, who examined the issue in his The Diplomat: Lester Pearson and the Suez Crisis (Goose Lane, 2015).
