Arthur Edward Blanchette
Arthur Edward Blanchette (born March 23 1921 ) in Hartford Connecticut is a former Canadian diplomat.[1] He graduated in University of Montreal in 1940 and took his PHD in 1945 in Ottawa where he entered in the Latin-American section of the Wartime information board. In 1969 he was at the Direction between francophone countries. He was Chargé d'Affaires to Egypt then Acting High Commissioner to South Africa followed by Cambodia (ISC) then Chargé d'Affaires a.i. to Greece followed by function in the department of francophone countries at External Affairs in Ottawa. Then Ambassador and Permanent Observer to the Organization of American States[2] then to Tunisia,[3] and, after an extended impasse, non-resident ambassador to Libya.[4]
After retiring from foreign service, Blanchette became director of the historical division of the Department of External Affairs. He caused some controversy in 1983 due to a book he was preparing on the department's history. Some figures who appeared in the proposed book, including former External Affairs minister and future Prime Minister, Paul Martin, objected to its content.[5]
Blanchette has edited two volumes of speeches and papers entitled Canadian Foreign Policy.[6][7]
