It is prompted by the question of why, during a brief period of six months, Manitoba voters retracted their support from the anti-Remedial and anti-coercionist Liberals in the Provincial election of January 1896 to elect the pro-Remedial and coercionist federal Conservatives in the federal election of 1896.

  • 630 Westminster Avenue
    630 WESTMINSTER AVENUE BALMORAL HALL SCHOOL (FORMER SIR J.A.M. AIKINS HOUSE – “RIVERBEND”) City of Winnipeg Historical Buildings Committee May 1999 630 WESTMINSTER AVENUE BALMORAL HALL SCHOOL (FORMER SIR J.A.M. AIKINS HOUSE – “RIVERBEND”) The home built in 1901 for one of Canada’s leading men, Sir James Albert Manning Aikins, would obviously be special. Aikins chose to locate his mansion just north of what had developed into one of Winnipeg’s most desirable residential districts. The 22-hectare (54-acre) parcel of land known as Armstrong's Point was granted to Captain Joseph Hill by the Hudson's Bay Company in 1848. Hill returned to England in 1853, leaving the wooded land, then known as "Hill's Point," and a small farm cottage (located on present-day West Gate) in the care of his former batsman, Corporal James Armstrong.1 The land was well-known to Red River Settlement residents who took many picnics and excursions to the area. In July 1873 Armstrong, who had not heard from Hill in some time, sold the property to F.E. Cornish, soon to become Winnipeg's first mayor. A year later, Armstrong was dead, but rumours swirled that Hill was still living in London, England, thereby leaving the actual ownership of the land in question. Two Winnipeg businessmen travelled overseas to locate him and buy his land. They succeeded in finding Hill, but he refused to sell. He instead returned to Winnipeg in 1880, then a year later transferred his holding for $28,000 to a local syndicate which quickly subdivided the land.

  • 61 CARLTON STREET "Dalnavert" Sir Hugh John Macdonald House
    61 CARLTON STREET "DALNAVERT" SIR HUGH JOHN MACDONALD HOUSE HISTORICAL BUILDINGS COMMITTEE May 14th, 1980 61 CARLTON STREET "Dalnavert" Sir Hugh John Macdonald House Sir Hugh John Macdonald, the only surviving son of Canada's first prime minister, built this grand home on Carlton Street for his family in 1895. Born to Sir John A. and his first wife in 1850, he was raised by relatives in Toronto and Kingston after his mother died. He followed his father's lead, and entered law school in 1869 but the following year he enlisted with the First Ontario Rifles.1 This was a group of volunteers who accompanied Her Majesty's troops under Lord Wolseley who marched to Red River to restore law and order in the new province. A less than auspicious introduction to prairie life, the troops arrived in pouring rain and stumbled down Main Street ankle- deep in mud. The troops returned within a few days. Hugh John continued his studies and was made a partner in his father's law firm in 1872. He practised law for ten years, no doubt living in his father's shadow and growing to feel the need of asserting himself as other than "the old man's son." In 1882, Hugh John and his wife Gertie moved to Winnipeg, where they kept a house at 83 Kennedy Street. Hugh John formed a law partnership with Stewart Tupper, also the son of a `father of Confederation'.2 Winnipeg was booming and it was an ideal time for a young man to bring his ambitions to the west.

  • Shaping the Public Memory of Sir John A. Macdonald in Ontario and Quebec, 1891-1967
    The Old Chieftain’s New Image: Shaping the Public Memory of Sir John A. Macdonald in Ontario and Quebec, 1891-1967 by Yves Y. Pelletier A thesis submitted to the Department of History in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada December 2010 Copyright © Yves Y. Pelletier, 2010 Abstract Sir John A. Macdonald has been a political figure frequently referenced in Canadian history. Yet no study has explored the evolution of his public memory. This study provides a focused examination of the attempts by Canada’s federal political parties to shape Macdonald’s public memory. The period of study began immediately following the death of Sir John A. Macdonald on June 6, 1891 and continued until the Centennial Celebrations of Confederation in 1967. The study first aims to identify and analyze events and activities organized or supported by Canada’s federal political class which provide opportunities to shape Macdonald’s public memory. The study then explores through the lens of official memory their motivation to engage in his commemoration and to shape his memory in specific ways. The objective of this study is to answer two specific research questions. The first asks if Canada’ federal political leaders were interested and successful in shaping Macdonald’s public memory during the period of study to allow the emergence of a seemingly national hegemonic figure acceptable to both political parties. The second asks if the federal political parties’ attempts to depict Macdonald as a unifying national symbol were picked up in the media in Ontario and Quebec and in both official languages, thereby reinforcing his hegemonic status for the federal political class.

Peopled by immigrants, it is a country, paradoxically, which hates immigration. Every single public opinion survey over the past fifty years indicates that most Canadians - including by the way, most immigrants themselves - do not want any substantial increase in the number of people admitted to this country.

  • An Accomplice to La Nouvelle Trahison Des Cleres Which He So Strongly Condemns. LESLIE KATZ°
    92 MANITOBA LAW JOURNAL VOL. 3 that only federal states based upon territorial groups without reference to their national composition can succeed in the long run. This is the difficulty which he faces. He treats the desire for the perpetuation of French Canadian national identity as a chose donée, and more importantly, as valuable; he then argues that co-operative federalism is the best method of fulfilling this desire; but, he ignores the fact that a federal state based on national groups cannot, by virtue of its very raison d'être, be truly co-operative. While it may be the best vehicle for preserving the French Canadian national character, feder- alism must by its nature preclude any advance beyond itself to a supranational culture, a state of affairs which Trudeau professes to desire in the long run. One might even question Trudeau's belief in the present value of national differences. Those benefits which he believes the nation to foster could, I suggest, be obtained elsewhere. He derides those who would brush aside national characters on the grounds that they will not 1969 CanLIIDocs 17 exist forever. I do not suggest ignoring them, but rather concentrating on them to ascertain their similarities in order to build a supranational culture upon them. If, as Trudeau says, the idea of national sovereignty is reactionary, is the idea of nationalism not the same fault in slightly smaller measure? In the preface to this collection, written in August of 1967, Trudeau says: "The best ideologies, having arisen at specific times to combat specific abuses, become the worst if they survive the needs which gave them birth."7 It appears to me that Trudeau, in advancing his thesis, is guilty of his own indictment.
