What happens when personal freedoms come into conflict with national security?

Lost Liberties – The War Measures Act probes the fears, crises and social upheaval that drove the suspension of civil liberties in Canada during the First World War, the Second World War and the 1970 October Crisis, and features poignant firsthand accounts from the men, women and children who experienced these events, as well as from their descendants.

Join the exhibitions co-curators, Mélanie Morin-Pelletier and Xavier Gélinas of the Canadian Museum of History, for an in-depth look at the making of the exhibition, moderated by the Museum’s Senior Director of Research and Chief Curator, Dean Oliver.
