  • Naturalizing Canada As a “Modern” Nation: Concepts of Political Association in Late-Nineteenth Century English Canada
    NATURALIZING CANADA AS A “MODERN” NATION: CONCEPTS OF POLITICAL ASSOCIATION IN LATE-NINETEENTH CENTURY ENGLISH CANADA By Peter Price 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, 2014 Copyright © Peter Price, 2014 Abstract The meaning and future of the new political jurisdiction created in 1867 called Canada were far from obvious or certain for those who witnessed Confederation and its first decades of development. This study looks at some of the ways in which the creation of a new Canadian state in 1867 influenced ways of thinking about the nature of political association and civic identity. Based on a thorough analysis of English-Canadian magazines published between 1867 and 1900, as well as major books and pamphlets written about the constitution in Canada, many by the same authors, it focuses on the English-Canadian intellectuals and public writers who tended to write most systemically about such issues. This study assesses changing ideas of political association in these sources through an analysis of the key political concepts of constitution, nationality, citizenship, and loyalty, each of which form the basis of separate chapters. It argues that ideas of “modern” political association developed by these concepts often led to concerted efforts to describe the Canadian state as a legitimate and natural container of civic affiliation. While many described these concepts as increasingly defined by the relationship between the individual and the territorial, constitutional state, they continued to be guided by assumptions about racial identity and lines of exclusion.

  • Types of Canadian Women Before the Public
    THE ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE are few national institutions of more value and interest to the THEREcountry than the Royal Military College at Kingston. At the same time, its object and the work it is accomplishing are not sufficiently under- stood by the general public. ' The College is a Government institution, designed primarily for the pur- pose of giving the highest technical instructions in all branches of military science to Cadets and Officers of Canadian Militia. In fact, it is intended to take the place in Canada of the English Woolwich and Sandhurst and the American West Point. The Commandant and Military Instructors are all officers on the active list of the Imperial army, lent for the purpose, and in addition there is a complete staff of Professors for the civil subjects, which form such a large proportion of the College course. Whilst the College is organized on a strictly military basis the Cadets receive, in addition to their military studies, a thoroughly practical, scientific and sound training in all subjects that are essential to a high and general modern education. The course in Mathematics is very complete, and a thorough grounding is given in the subjects of Civil Engineering, Civil and Hydrographic Sur- veying, Physics, Chemistry, French and English. The object of the College course is thus to give the Cadets a training which shall thoroughly equip them for either a military or civil career. The strict discipline maintained at the College is one of the most valuable features of the system. As a result of it young men acquire habits of obedience and self-control, and consequently of self-reliance and command, as well as experience in controlling and handling their fellows.

    History of Intellectual Culture www.ucalgary.ca/hic/ · ISSN 1492-7810 2002 · Vol. 2, No. 1 Rights, Justice, Power: Gendered Perspectives on Prohibition in Late Nineteenth-Century Canada Dianne Hallman Abstract This paper places within a broad social context a debate on the merits of prohibition between two highly respected Victorian Canadians: Agnes Machar (1837-1927), an established author, and J. A. Allen (1814-1900), a retired cleric. The debate was published in 1877 as a series of formal exchanges in The Canadian Monthly and National Review (a journal devoted to promoting nationalism). The nature of, and basis for, gendered perspec- tives on rights, justice, and power are investigated through an analysis of gender in temperance/prohibition discourse in three ways: the articulation of rights and responsibilities, the conception of what constitutes justice, and the appeal to conventional imagery of women and men. The temperance and prohibition movements in late-nineteenth to early-twentieth-century Canada were sites where large numbers of mainly middle-class Canadians asserted a collective voice in the country’s political affairs and, in the case of women, developed claims to complete citizenship. Debate in Canada relied heavily on ideas elaborated in the United States and England, and was roughly divided between those who supported regulation for the public good and those who held that regulation denied individual rights. Discussions on both sides were suffused with standard representations of gender based in, and turning on, unequal

It has been said that they know not England who only England know. On the same principle, we can not be said really to know our own time, unless we know something of the events that preceded it and helped to determine its character. To a community, the consciousness of its past gives the sense of con tinuity which is the principle of its collective life and the nurse of its patriotism. Fifty years ago Canada was a young, compara tively undeveloped country, hardly conscious of pos sessing a history. The romance and adventure of the early days of French Canada were to our fathers a sealed book, and the more recent history of British Canada seemed almost to belong to "current events." But now the researches of historians and Historical Societies have placed within our reach the varied treas ures of our past, with its noble achievement and adven ture; its struggles and privations; its conflicts and its gains.
