Ted ARCAND,
Diplomat: 1934-2005
Outspoken Canadian ambassador to Lebanon during the 1982 invasion
by Israel was a 'hero in Beirut' and the last Western diplomat
to leave
By Ron CSILLAG,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Friday, May 27,
2005, Page S7
Surveying the charred rubble of his West Beirut residence one
July day in that wretched summer of 1982, Ted
ARCAND pronounced,
"This is the work of a child of Israel." It was a bit more than
seven weeks into Israel's wrenching invasion of Lebanon and siege
of Beirut and the Canadian ambassador's fifth-floor apartment
in the seaside Muslim sector of the Lebanese capital had sustained
heavy fire and blast damage when an Israeli jet attacked a building
across the street.
It was "unbelievable that people are treated like this," Mr.
ARCAND lamented, noting that 80 people had been killed in the
raid. "So much for pinpoint bombing."
Israel's behaviour had disappointed him: "I always had an enormous
admiration for the Israelis, their musicians, their men of science,
which I try to think of despite my travels in south Lebanon,"
he told the Associated Press. "I have seen all the human misery...
and I wonder where the Israel I knew has gone." To his detractors,
Mr. ARCAND failed to understand Israel's plight, or didn't care
and in a most undiplomatic fashion. Some charged that his
remarks betrayed a glaring lack of impartiality and maybe even
sympathy toward the Palestine Liberation Organization.
Others lauded him for sheltering over 100 Palestinian women and
children in the Canadian embassy, and for his principled and
singular courage, evidenced by the fact that he was the last
high-level Western diplomat to leave West Beirut.
Why did he stay when he could have easily bugged out, probably
with Ottawa's blessing? Partly because the Department of External
Affairs, as it was then called, did not order him and his skeleton
staff out of Beirut until August 2, 1982 -- nearly two months
after the Israeli incursion began, and then only to the town
of Jounieh, about 20 kilometres north of the capital -- but also
because he had "a deep sense of duty," said his son, Jean-Louis,
who was then just 17 and went through the ordeal with his parents.
"He was scandalized and shocked by what was going on. [But] people
from his generation were profoundly idealistic Canadians, part
of the Trudeau generation. He was a typical example of a francophone
who did well by dint of the Trudeau years. These people really
believed in their jobs and in representing their country."
His boss, then external affairs minister Mark
MacGUIGAN, backed
him up. "He was doing a great service for his country... for
the cause of world peace," Mr.
MacGUIGAN told the House of Commons
in August of 1982, stressing that Mr.
ARCAND was ordered out
for his own safety. Indeed, just a few weeks earlier, the House
unanimously adopted a resolution -- a very rare occurrence --
praising Mr.
ARCAND for his "tireless dedication and unflinching
devotion to duty."
Mr. ARCAND described Beirut as "a living hell... truly a scene
from Dante's Inferno." With tears welling in his eyes, he said
the destruction caused by Israel's land, sea and air bombardment,
"would make Berlin of 1944 look like a tea party." He also criticized
the early withdrawal of peacekeeping forces from West Beirut,
saying the move was a major factor leading to the massacres in
September of 1982 of at least 800 Palestinians, including many
women and children, in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps at
the hands of the Phalange, a Christian militia.
A mainstay of U.S. network newscasts, Mr.
ARCAND once stuck his
telephone out the window of his residence and asked the reporter
on the line, "does that sound like a ceasefire to you?"
As Mr. MacGUIGAN wrote in his memoirs, Mr.
ARCAND stayed behind
in Beirut to assist those who needed visas and to help keep up
the spirits of the populace. As a result, he "suffered Israeli
indignities not visited on any other ambassador." Because he
had to cross Israeli barricades to bring supplies into West Beirut,
his car was stopped and searched repeatedly, despite the fact
that it had diplomatic licence plates and flew the Canadian flag.
Such searches were "in total contravention of the Vienna accords
on the treatment of diplomatic personnel. The Israeli government
knew that and was aware of what was going on but was either unable
or unwilling to bring [then General Ariel] Sharon and the military
to heel," Mr.
MacGUIGAN wrote.
In the end, the department persuaded Mr.
MacGUIGAN to accept
an "insincere letter of regret from [then Israeli prime minister
Yitzhak] Shamir."
Mr. ARCAND was urged to stand his ground, at least until the
order to move came through. That same day, one of two local embassy
employees who had asked to stay for personal reasons was shot
to death.
Two days later, Canada delivered a formal diplomatic protest
to Tel Aviv, calling on Israel to stop its bombardment. "He was
a hero in Beirut. The fact that he stayed made him an enormous
hit with the citizens," said Peyton
LYON, a foreign-affairs analyst
and long-time critic of Israel who knew Mr.
ARCAND from the Middle
East Discussion Group, an Ottawa salon for retired diplomats.
"But he never got the recognition he and his wife deserved for
staying behind."
Born in the wheat-farming region of eastern Alberta, Mr.
ARCAND
studied history at Laval and McMaster universities. It was at
the latter where he met wife, the English-born Jennifer
GARNER-
ASHMORE,
whose family was scandalized that she married a devout Catholic.
A career diplomat who joined the foreign service in 1957, Mr.
ARCAND had postings to Czechoslovakia, Cameroon, Tanzania, the
Vatican and Denmark under his belt before being assigned as ambassador
to Lebanon (with concurrent accreditation to Jordan and Syria)
in 1979, in the thick of the country's civil war. Despite regular
firefights between Muslim and Christian factions, car bombings
and sniper attacks, "life was fairly agreeable," recalled his
son, now an economist with the French government. "A lot of people
simply adapted."
Mr. ARCAND was among the first Western diplomats to discern a
groundswell of Islamic fundamentalism. Officially, Canada forbade
contacts with the Palestine Liberation Organization at the time
unofficially, related his son, Mr.
ARCAND had extensive dealings
with the organization, including with Yasser Arafat.
His son believes that mandarins in Ottawa assumed his father
had gone soft on Palestinians. "That's why people tend to get
transferred. You end up being more of a representative to people
you are accredited to than of your own country."
Following the tumult of Lebanon, Mr.
ARCAND was sent to Hungary
and followed that with a four-year stint in Ottawa as chief of
protocol. After that, he returned to the Holy See, this time
as ambassador. He loved the job. "The Vatican for him was most
efficient intelligence-gathering organization in the world,"
his son said. "It was pure political work."
Back in Ottawa for good in 1993, Mr.
ARCAND did a series of jobs
at External Affairs involving protocol and security but his heart
wasn't in it. His wife died the same year, said his son: "He
could not fathom serving abroad without her."
Théodore Jean
ARCAND was born in Bonnyville, Alberta., on June
25, 1934, and died in Montreal on April 16, 2005, of a heart
attack. He was 70. Besides his son, he leaves three sisters.

PEARSON, W.B., C.M., D.F.C., M.A., D.Sc. (Oxon.,) F.R.S.C.,
Died peacefully at home in Ariss, Ontario on Wednesday, February
23, 2005. Born on July 1, 1921, he emigrated to Canada with his
parents in 1927. He was educated at Kingston Consolidated School
in New Brunswick, at Christ's Hospital, United Kingdom and at
Oxford University where he obtained first class honours in chemistry
and completed his studies as a D. Phil. student with William
Hume-Rothery, F.R.S., the legendary alloy pioneer. He served
in World War 2 as a pilot on Ferry and Transport Commands of
the Royal Air Force. Bill loved activity, hated ambition and
committee meetings; thus he was the "creator of beautiful gardens,
builder of many buildings, and a landowner who felt compelled
to produce food". Bill was the author of several books and many
scientific papers on low-temperature physics, physical metallography,
Fermi surface, the chemistry of semi-conductors and crystallography
while working at the National Research Council, Ottawa, and the
University of Waterloo as Dean of Science and Professor of Physics
and of Chemistry. In addition, he edited 26 volumes of Structure
Reports for the International Union of Crystallography. What
pleased him greatly in a lifetime of ignored opportunities due
to pressures of current interests, was the award of an honorary
D.Sc. from the Royal Military College of Canada in 1984 based
on his previous military capability and on his very visible and
active participation in the Canadian Metals Physics Conferences
held at R.M.C. since their inception in 1952; 1952-1969 Research
Scientist, National Research Council of Canada; 1969-1984 University
of Waterloo
Dean of Science and Professor of Chemistry and Physics; Distinguished
Professor Emeritus and Hon. D.Sc. He was a Fellow of the Royal
Society of Canada, and held "Hume-Rothery Awards" from The Metallurgical
Society of the A.I.M.E. and from the Institute of Metals (London).
He was appointed a Member of the Order of Canada in 1996. He
is survived by his wife of 38 years, Ellen Mary
(PIPE;) son,
Cedric, daughter Cecily (Billy
LOPER) and their mother, Lois
Jeannette PEARSON
(Ottawa;) sisters Jean
STEWARD/STEWART/STUART (Corpus
Christi,
Texas) and Christine
GARNET
(Ottawa.)
Respecting
Bill's wishes,
there will be no formal funeral service; cremation has taken
place. Friends will be invited to share Bill stories in May or
June when the weather is more clement. Those who wish an 'in
memoriam' may like to support: The University of Waterloo - W.B.
