As such, besides examining the lives of prime ministers and other elites, we will also analyse, for example, what things were like for ordinary people; besides focussing upon the French-English divide, we will also look at issues revolving around gender roles and Canada’s First Peoples; and besides noting cultural expressions such as "high art," we will also touch upon things such as various forms of popular entertainment. The general story will come from the lectures. However, your outline will refer to chapters from the Francis, Smith and Jones texts, Journeys. You should read these, especially if parts of the lecture remain unclear. The textbook will provide background; it will not replicate the lectures. Required readings will consist of a series of primary source documents. The lectures will refer to many of those documents, suggesting how they might be understood in relation to the general flow of events. Thus, on the mid-term test and final examination, you should be able to utilize the required readings and the lecture material in responding to questions.

  • The Rideau Canal
    City History Hunt: The Rideau Canal ENTRANCE BAY OTTAWA LOCKS RIDEAU CANAL LEBRETON FLATS LeBreton Flats This area was the second choice for the start of the Rideau Canal due to its flat landscape. The first choice was the parcel of land we know of as LeBreton Flats. However, Captain LeBreton, who had previously purchased the land for £499, tried selling the land to Lieutenant Colonel John By for £3000. John By decided this was too much money to spend on a plot of land and decided to look elsewhere. Entrance Bay John By ended up purchasing this plot of land for the beginning of the Rideau Canal. There have been many names for this part of the Ottawa River, but it is now referred to as Entrance Bay due to its location at the entrance of the Rideau Canal. It has also been named Sleigh’s Bay after the wedding of Philemon Wright’s son, during which guests watched the ceremony from their sleighs on the frozen Ottawa River. Philemon Wright was the founder of Wrightsville, now Gatineau. Rideau Canal The Rideau Canal was built between 1826 and 1832. It was intended to be a secure military route to the Great Lakes that bypassed the St Lawrence River. It is now simply used for pleasure. The Rideau Canal is a total of 202 kilometers between Ottawa and Kingston and uses both man-made canals and natural waterways. Ottawa Locks The locks along the Rideau Canal use four different mechanisms to control them. All except three locks are operated solely by man-power.

Drawing on the existing literature,-a framework of analysis was created comprised of four categories: 1) language; 2) visual representation; 3) positioning and; 4) critical analysis of content. Each of these categories was further broken into a series of related subcategories in order to examine in depth and detail, the portrayal of women in these two textbooks.

  • War of 1812 Booklist Be Informed • Be Entertained 2013
    War of 1812 Booklist Be Informed • Be Entertained 2013 The War of 1812 was fought between the United States and Great Britain from June 18, 1812 through February 18, 1815, in Virginia, Maryland, along the Canadian border, the western frontier, the Gulf Coast, and through naval engagements in the Great Lakes and the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. In the United States frustrations mounted over British maritime policies, the impressments of Americans into British naval service, the failure of the British to withdraw from American territory along the Great Lakes, their backing of Indians on the frontiers, and their unwillingness to sign commercial agreements favorable to the United States. Thus the United States declared war with Great Britain on June 18, 1812. It ended with the signing of the Treaty of Ghent on December 24, 1814, although word of the treaty did not reach America until after the January 8, 1815 Battle of New Orleans. An estimated 70,000 Virginians served during the war. There were some 73 armed encounters with the British that took place in Virginia during the war, and Virginians actively fought in Maryland, Virginia, and Ohio and in naval engagements. The nation’s capitol, strategically located off the Chesapeake Bay, was a prime target for the British, and the coast of Virginia figured prominently in the Atlantic theatre of operations. The War of 1812 helped forge a national identity among the American states and laid the groundwork for a national system of homeland defense and a professional military. For Canadians it also forged a national identity, but as proud British subjects defending their homes against southern invaders.

  • Festschrift for John Last May 19, 2016
    Festschrift for John Last May 19, 2016 GROWING UP WITH JOHN MURRAY LAST We are the sons of the anatomist, Raymond Jack Last (1903-1993) and his first wife Vera Estelle Augusta Judell (1894-1976), ninth of the ten children of a successful country storekeeper at Orroroo in South Australia. John was born in 1926, and I followed in 1929. Our father was at that time a popular solo general practitioner (family physician) at Booleroo Centre. He left the family when we were very young. We were brought up by a single-parent mother at a time when such a situation was sometimes somewhat stigmatised. She was strongly supported by her siblings, and although there was a need for frugality, we were never deprived. We are eternally beholden to our wonderful mother for all she did to set us on course to successful professional careers. We are also beholden to several aunts, uncles and cousins. In 1944, Mother’s unmarried sister Olive died, and another unmarried sister, Doris, came to live with us. Sadly, she endured a miserable terminal illness with paraplegia, which brought into our home for several months the special registered nurse recruited for her care. An outcome was that Doris bequeathed to us her 10hp Ford Prefect, which gave the family a welcome second car. Then, for two or three years, we had as a paying guest, John’s contemporary Vernon Pleuckhan, who became a professor of pathology in Geelong. His confident, not to say dogmatic, evidence materially contributed to the life sentence handed down for Lindy Chamberlain, refuted and dismissed by a Royal Commission, which confirmed her account that her daughter was taken by a dingo from a camp site at Uluru (Ayers Rock).

  • Richard Pierpoint, Freed Black Loyalist; Served in the American Revolutionary War, the War of 1812 (1744-1837)
    Richard Pierpoint, Freed Black Loyalist; Served in the American Revolutionary War, the War of 1812 (1744-1837) Richard Pierpont was born in 1744 in Bundu, in what is now Senegal. When he was approximately 16 years old he was captured and sold to a slave trader. He was sent by ship across the Atlantic Ocean, and having survived the difficult voyage, was sold to a British officer in New England named Pierpoint in 1760. Richard Pierpoint would have acted as the Officer’s personal servant. In his life he was also known as Black Dick and Captain Dick. It is important to note that his African name is unknown, because upon purchase it was discarded and he was given the Christian name Richard. In 1776 the American Revolution broke out, and many African American slaves were offered freedom on the condition that they fought as Loyalists with the British forces. Pierpoint became one of approximately a dozen former black slaves who fought for the British with the Butler’s Rangers, a loyalist battalion located in Fort Niagara, New York. When the British lost the American War of Independence Pierpoint evacuated across the Niagara River to Upper Canada along with scores of fellow loyalists. When he arrived in Canada, he became a free man for the first time since he was 16. Very little is known about Richard Pierpoint’s life. His real name is unknown, no drawings or paintings were made of him, so his appearance is unknown. He never married or had children, and it is unknown whether he could read or write.

  • Immigration Reform in Canada and the United States
    1 IMMIGRATION REFORM IN CANADA AND THE UNITED STATES: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS Mai Nguyen (York University) Garth Stevenson (Brock University) Paper prepared for presentation to the annual meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association, Vancouver, British Columbia, June 4, 2008. 2 It is not surprising that most public policies in Canada and the United States are fairly similar, nor is it surprising that innovations in public policy have often occurred at about the same time in the two countries. Similar economic, social and cultural conditions in the two countries might be expected to produce such a result. It is also a fact, although not always acknowledged by Canadians, that American innovations in policy have often been copied in Canada within a few years. John A. Macdonald’s National Policy was based on policies implemented by the United States in the 1860s. More recent examples would include anti- combines legislation in the early 20th century, the largely abortive Bennett New Deal of the 1930s, P.C. 1003 of 1944 (modelled on the Wagner Act), the formation of Via Rail (modelled on Amtrak), the deregulation of the transportation industries in the 1980s, and even the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Immigration is one area of public policy in which the two countries have followed somewhat similar, although not identical, paths. Both accepted large numbers of immigrants from European sources during the century that followed the war of 1812. Both sought to limit Asian immigration by overtly discriminatory means beginning in the latter part of the 19th century. Both, by more subtle means, limited immigration from southern and eastern Europe in the first half of the 20th century.
