The Boundaries of Nationality in Mid-18Th Century Nova Scotia*
GEOFFREY PLANK The Two Majors Cope: The Boundaries of Nationality in Mid-18th Century Nova Scotia* THE 1750S BEGAN OMINOUSLY IN Nova Scotia. In the spring of 1750 a company of French soldiers constructed a fort in a disputed border region on the northern side of the isthmus of Chignecto. The British built a semi-permanent camp only a few hundred yards away. The two armies faced each other nervously, close enough to smell each other's food. In 1754 a similar situation near the Ohio River led to an imperial war. But the empires were not yet ready for war in 1750, and the stand-off at Chignecto lasted five years. i In the early months of the crisis an incident occurred which illustrates many of *' the problems I want to discuss in this essay. On an autumn day in 1750, someone (the identity of this person remains in dispute) approached the British fort waving a white flag. The person wore a powdered wig and the uniform of a French officer. He carried a sword in a sheath by his side. Captain Edward Howe, the commander of the British garrison, responded to the white flag as an invitation to negotiations and went out to greet the man. Then someone, either the man with the flag or a person behind him, shot and killed Captain Howe. According to three near-contemporary accounts of these events, the man in the officer's uniform was not a Frenchman but a Micmac warrior in disguise. He put on the powdered wig and uniform in order to lure Howe out of his fort. -

AB Today – Daily Report September 28, 2020 Quotation of the day “It’s a bad omen.” NDP Municipal Affairs critic Joe Ceci said the UCP offered little in the way of a relationship reset with municipalities at the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association conference. Today in AB On the schedule The house will reconvene on Tuesday, October 20. Committees this week The Select Special Public Health Act Review Committee will meet in the afternoon on Tuesday and Wednesday, as well as all-day Thursday to draft its final report. The committee was established to correct potential government overreach authorized by the UCP’s controversial Bill 10. Premier watch Premier Jason Kenney spoke at the Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial Day ceremony at Calgary City Hall on Sunday. UCP warns municipalities of tough times ahead UCP heavyweights discussed the province’s plan to get Alberta’s municipalities out of the economic quagmire at the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association’s conference Friday — but didn’t offer a major bailout or funding reform. Premier Jason Kenney told conference attendees “there’s no point in trying to deny the reality” of Alberta’s grim fiscal picture, noting the province’s GDP is expected to shrink by 20 per cent this year. Newly minted Municipal Affairs Minister Tracy Allard echoed Kenney’s message during the conference’s virtual bear pit session, which gives local lawmakers the chance to grill members of cabinet. “I hate to say this, but it has to be said — there is a fiscal reckoning coming,” Allard said. Allard suggested big funding increases won’t be coming and that new cash flows can no longer be relied upon to pave over municipalities’ fiscal “sins.” “They cannot be covered up any longer by the revenue that’s no longer here,” she said. -

To recognize the important role seniors play in our communities, we will be celebrating this year under the theme of “Living Your Best Life.” During our celebrations in June, we can highlight how our seniors have built our communities and continue to contribute their time and talents in many ways. It’s important we all recognize their achievements, and what better way than by proclaiming June as Seniors’ Month in your community. I am asking you to make this proclamation and have attached a sample to make it easier for your municipality to participate. We will also be sending promotional materials for Seniors’ Month soon. I would also like to encourage you to work with your local MPP(s) to host Seniors’ Month events in your community. We would be happy to help you promote your event online.
