Unique views from John F. Kennedy, Nelson Mandela, Indira Gandhi, and dozens of other world leaders reveal Canada and Canadians through their eyes.

Throughout the First World War, foreign leaders started addressing Canadians in our House of Commons and, ever since, have continued influencing how we consider our role in global affairs. For a century now, this parade of world figures has brought urgent messages about Canada’s importance in world wars, the United Nations, Cold War security, decolonization and modernization, advancing human rights, environmental conservation, and combating terrorism.

All the foreign leaders addressing Canada’s parliament sought to forge new partnerships between their very own countries and ours in a swiftly evolving global context. Over the decades these speeches chart the stunning transformation of international affairs and Canada’s place on this planet. No other source provides a whole record of this body of high-level oratory, gathered here for the first time in Foreign Voices within the House.
