The reading purpose in this chapter is to explore how conflicts in Canada in the 1830s and 1840s were resolved. Some people feel that an the news in the newspaper or on TV is bad. "There's never any good news." Have you ever heard anyone say this? Much of the bad news deals with conflict. It's been like this for a long time. Consider some of the conflicts you wi111earn about in this chapter and later in this unit: • the 1837-1838 rebellions in Lower and Upper Canada, part of the attempt to reform the governments of those places • protests and demonstrations like the Montreal riot of 1849 over opposition to a new act passed by the government of Lower Canada, during which the parliament building was destroyed • strikes like the Toronto printers' strike of 1836, in which workers tried to win a shorter (ten-hour) work day Sometimes we think, "Wouldn't it be nice if there were no conflict in the world?" It probably would be. But sometimes conflict can serve a useful purpose. It can force us to look at issues and to decide whether rve need to make changes. Canadian history is full of conflict that has . esulted in positive change. In this " you will read about political conflicts in the Canadas in the 183, sand 1840s. As you study them, you should ask yourself what techniques might be used today to resolve the conflicts. Wars War is the most severe type of conflict. In war, nations generally fight nations. Wars are sometimes 10ng1asting with great loss of life, of both soldiers and civilians. You have read about a number war armed conflict, generally of wars in this book. between nations Think of the War of 1812. There were major battles in a number of places in Upper Canada, as the British and First Nations resisted the invading American forces. The Upper Canadians won an important victory. Americans never again went to war against British North America or Canada. H 138 Unit 3 : Conf I ict and Change ReADING Checkpoint Review your note. Where were the major battles of the War of 1812? The U.S. ship "Constitution," nicknamed "Old Ironsides, " sinks a British warship named "HBMS Guerriere" off Newfoundland in the War of 1812. The War of 1812 made British North Americans realize that they had their own identity. They were more than simply British people living in North America. They had found their own way of surviving in a harsh climate and rugged land. The words they used for objects in their everyday lives-chipmunks and moccasins­ and some names of places-Canada and Quebec-were not British words or names, but came from the languages of the First Nations of North America. British North Americans had also developed a familiar way of dealing with one another, less formal than the way people interacted in Britain. After the War of 1812, British North American pride began to increase. After 55 years of growth, this pride helped to give birth to the independent nation of Canada. Rebellions In history there are many examples of rebellions. People resent rebellions when citizens fight governments that won't listen to them. Sometimes a government against the authorities in power uses the army to restrain people who are peacefully protesting and revolution the overthrow of a government or political system, calling for reform. People start to believe that the only way they can usually with violence get change is to use force, so they start a rebellion. If they are successful, the rebellion is called a revolution. In Upper and Lower Canada in the 1830s, many people were dissatisfied with their governments. They believed that the governments were not interested in the welfare of the general population. Whenever the people tried to push for change, the governments ignored them. Chapter 7: Conflict and Conflict Resolution H 139 Shortly after the 1832 election riots in Lower Canada, the province was stricken by a cholera epidemic. More than 6000 people died, and the people of Montrea l and Quebec City blamed the 52 000 British immigrants who had arrived that yea r. This painting by Joseph Legare, ca lled Cholera Plague, Quebec, 1832, shows the fright­ ened citizens of Quebec City burning smudge pots to try to combat the illness. In 1832, there was a riot in Lower Canada during an election. British troops killed three people as they tried to restore order. Many people sympathized with the rioters. They thought that the actions of the troops were too harsh. The event increased support for the Patriotes, the people who were trying to win political reform. In Chapters 8 and 9, you will learn about the rebellions of 1837-1838. The rebellions resulted in hundreds of deaths and injuries, but they forced the British to reform the governments of the Canadas. The rebellions produced good long-term results. Protests and Demonstrations Protests and demonstrations are methods people use to show their displeasure about something. Such events can be peaceful. But they can also get out of hand. Governments often bring armed police and troops into the street. They are there to keep order and to protect the innocent. But sometimes onlookers believe that the police use excessive force to break up the demonstrators. Police using tear gas to disperse demonstrators. Do Canadians still hold demonstrations as a you think people should have the right to demonstrate? Should poli ce be allowed to disperse them? way to bring about change by trying to change public opinion. H 140 Unit 3: Conflict and Change Strikes In the 1800s, working conditions were bad and wages low. Workers frequently organized strikes and protests to demand better conditions. For example, printers in Toronto organized a strike in 1836. They had been working 12 hours a day and wanted this reduced to 10 hours with no loss of pay. In 1855, Montreal railway workers went on strike for higher wages. Generally, such strikes were peaceful. But they could become violent. In the 1840s, canal workers used violence in their efforts to get better wages and working conditions. Noone likes strikes, especially violent ones. Consumers are inconvenienced. Businesses suffer. Workers lose wages. But there were so many strikes in the period from 1870-1900 that the federal government had to take notice. The Railway Disputes Act of 1903 and the Industrial Disputes Investigation Act of 1907 were some the federal government's early attempts to regulate industrial disputes. Again, A stri ke of day labourers in the port of Montrea l, 1877. Poor conditions and something unpleasant later low wages were factors in many such acti ons in Quebec at that time.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • OECD/IMHE Project Self Evaluation Report: Atlantic Canada, Canada
    OECD/IMHE Project Supporting the Contribution of Higher Education Institutions to Regional Development Self Evaluation Report: Atlantic Canada, Canada Wade Locke (Memorial University), Elizabeth Beale (Atlantic Provinces Economic Council), Robert Greenwood (Harris Centre, Memorial University), Cyril Farrell (Atlantic Provinces Community College Consortium), Stephen Tomblin (Memorial University), Pierre-Marcel Dejardins (Université de Moncton), Frank Strain (Mount Allison University), and Godfrey Baldacchino (University of Prince Edward Island) December 2006 (Revised March 2007) ii Acknowledgements This self-evaluation report addresses the contribution of higher education institutions (HEIs) to the development of the Atlantic region of Canada. This study was undertaken following the decision of a broad group of partners in Atlantic Canada to join the OECD/IMHE project “Supporting the Contribution of Higher Education Institutions to Regional Development”. Atlantic Canada was one of the last regions, and the only North American region, to enter into this project. It is also one of the largest groups of partners to participate in this OECD project, with engagement from the federal government; four provincial governments, all with separate responsibility for higher education; 17 publicly funded universities; all colleges in the region; and a range of other partners in economic development. As such, it must be appreciated that this report represents a major undertaking in a very short period of time. A research process was put in place to facilitate the completion of this self-evaluation report. The process was multifaceted and consultative in nature, drawing on current data, direct input from HEIs and the perspectives of a broad array of stakeholders across the region. An extensive effort was undertaken to ensure that input was received from all key stakeholders, through surveys completed by HEIs, one-on-one interviews conducted with government officials and focus groups conducted in each province which included a high level of private sector participation.

    “LE CONSEIL SPÉCIAL EST MORT, VIVE LE CONSEIL SPÉCIAL!” THE SPECIAL COUNCILS OF LOWER CANADA, 1838-1841 by Maxime Dagenais Dissertation submitted to the School of Graduate Studies and Research in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the PhD degree in History. Department of History Faculty of Arts Université d’Ottawa\ University of Ottawa © Maxime Dagenais, Ottawa, Canada, 2011 ii ABSTRACT “LE CONSEIL SPÉCIAL EST MORT, VIVE LE CONSEIL SPÉCIAL!” THE SPECIAL COUNCILS OF LOWER CANADA, 1838-1841 Maxime Dagenais Supervisor: University of Ottawa, 2011 Professor Peter Bischoff Although the 1837-38 Rebellions and the Union of the Canadas have received much attention from historians, the Special Council—a political body that bridged two constitutions—remains largely unexplored in comparison. This dissertation considers its time as the legislature of Lower Canada. More specifically, it examines its social, political and economic impact on the colony and its inhabitants. Based on the works of previous historians and on various primary sources, this dissertation first demonstrates that the Special Council proved to be very important to Lower Canada, but more specifically, to British merchants and Tories. After years of frustration for this group, the era of the Special Council represented what could be called a “catching up” period regarding their social, commercial and economic interests in the colony. This first section ends with an evaluation of the legacy of the Special Council, and posits the theory that the period was revolutionary as it produced several ordinances that changed the colony’s social, economic and political culture This first section will also set the stage for the most important matter considered in this dissertation as it emphasizes the Special Council’s authoritarianism.

While serving as a leader for the Glengarry Highlanders throughout the British Isles and Upper Canada, Macdonell acted as a middleman, often brokering negotiations between his fellow Highlanders and the British and Upper Canadian governments. This relationship saw Macdonell and the Glengarry Highlanders travel to Glasgow, Guernsey, and Ireland, working as both manufacturers and soldiers before they eventually settled in Glengarry County, Upper Canada. Once established in Upper Canada, Macdonell continued to act as a broker, which notably led to the participation of the Glengarry Highlanders in the colony’s defence during the War of 1812.

    The Honest Man/L’Homme Honnête: The Colonial Gentleman, the Development of the Press, and the Race and Gender Discourses of the Newspapers in the British “Province of Quebec,” 1764-1791 By Valérie Isabelle Martin A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in History in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2018 Copyright © Valérie Isabelle Martin, 2018 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the new public world of print that emerged and developed in the “Province of Quebec” from 1764 to 1791. Using discourse analysis, it argues that the press reflected, and contributed to producing the race and gender privileges of the White, respectable gentleman, also called the “honest man,” regardless of whether he was Canadien or of Anglo-descent. A British colony created by the Royal Proclamation of 1763, the Province of Quebec existed until 1791 when it was divided into the separate colonies of Upper and Lower Canada by the Constitutional Act. The colony’s development and dissolution corresponded with a growing population and changing demographics in the Saint Lawrence Valley, a brief increase in racial slavery in Montreal and Quebec City, and altered political and economic alliances between the White settler population and Native peoples of the North American interior after the defeat of the French in 1763 and following the emergence of the American Republic in 1783. Internally, changes brought about by the conclusion of the British Conquest in 1760, such as the introduction of British rule and English law in Quebec, were implemented alongside French ancien régime structures of legal and political governance that persisted mostly unhampered and fostered the preservation of an authoritarian-style government in the new “old” colony.

My analysis begins around 1837 and continues through present day, and by analyzing the histories of each movement demonstrates clearly that both movements followed a unique and similar timeline.
