  • Michael Francis Fallon Bishop of London Ontario – Canada 1909 – 1931 the Man and His Controversies
    CCHA Study Sessions, 35(1968), 73-90 Michael Francis Fallon Bishop of London Ontario – Canada 1909 – 1931 The Man and His Controversies by John K. A. FARRELL University of Windsor Michael Francis Fallon, Bishop of London, Ontario, from 1909 until his death in 1931, was born in Kingston, Canada West, on 17 May, 1867. He died in London, Ontario on 22 February, 1931. Michael Fallon came into the world in the same year as the birth of the Dominion of Canada; he left this world in the year which saw the passage of the Statute of Westminster. These co i n ci d ences are worth noting because the adult life of Michael Fallon was passionately concerned with the growth of Canada, his native Province of Ontario, the larger society of the British Empire: and all of these major concerns were embraced by a deep, energetic dedication to the Roman Catholic Church. His interest in secular affairs, although sometimes political in the broad sense, was expressed mostly in a life-long interest in education, and in a constant desire frequently expressed that his fellow-Canadians never forget their great Christian heritage. In this connexion, Fallon felt most keenly that the political unit which best approximated the Christian ideal was the association of the British Empire. Fallon’s fervent imperial patriotism, which remained with him to the end of his life, gave a cast to his political and cultural thinking which was bound to bring him in conflict with those who did not share his admiration of the British Empire. He was sufficiently flexible in his attitudes, however, and sufficiently adaptable to new situations to serve with remarkable success as a priest and pastor for eight years in Buffalo, New York.

  • Who Is Watching out for the Ottawa River?
    Who Is Watching Out for the Ottawa River? Professor Benidickson CML 3351 369567 April 28 2000 George Brown AContradictions in human behavior are evident throughout the region. There are beautiful farms and ravaged riverbanks; decimated forests and landscaped community parks; chemical and nuclear waste oozing toward the river and conscientious children cleaning highways. In Canada, extremes in river levels that prevent the existence of both natural ecologies and human enterprises are caused by dams built primarily to meet US energy needs. Diverse and contradictory possibilities appear for the river region of the future: economic stability, ecological integrity and sustainability if people take seriously their responsibilities for God=s earth; ecological disaster and economic depression if current practices remain unchangedY@1 The above quotation, is taken from a statement by the US and Canadian Catholic Bishops concerning the Columbia River. Entitled The Columbia River Watershed: Realities and Possibilities, it was meant to remind citizens on both sides of the border, that Awe humans do not live alone in the Columbia watershed. We share our habitat with other lives, members of the community of life B what scientists call the biotic community B who relate to us as fellow inhabitants of the watershed, as fellow members of the web of life.@2 This paper is not about the Columbia River, it is about the Ottawa River. (Ottawa) What I found interesting about the first quotation is that you could very easily have applied it to the Ottawa River, as well as many other rivers throughout North America. I intend to examine the Ottawa from the perspective mentioned above, that it is a river that can have a future characterized by economic stability, ecological integrity, and sustainability, if we take seriously our responsibilities as citizens.
