I am looking for books/whathaveyou on these topics, particularly with regards to the common man's views on the war, Canada's identity and their social activities.
Would also like to hear views on race and national security if that doesn't sound too /pol/.

Partly homefront, but also the great lost Canadian novel of WW2.
"Turvey" by Earle Birney (WW2 vet who later became known for his poetry).
Has a "Good Soldier Schwejk" vibe to it.

Not OP, but that's Igor Gouzenko; Soviet diplomat who defected in Ottawa in 1945, warned west that Soviets had spies everywhere.
Many people consider that the start of the Cold War.
