  • The Crown in the Provinces: Canada's Compound Monarchy
    THE CROWN IN THE PROVINCES: CANADA’S COMPOUND MONARCHY Michael Jackson and Lynda Haverstock1 Canada: a “compound monarchy” (Smith, D.E., 1995, 12). This succinct phrase by David E. Smith, dean of Canadian scholars of the Crown, neatly sums up a key dimension of the constitutional monarchy in Canada. We contend that the Crown is an institution belonging jointly to the central and provincial governments and that it is crucial to the co-sovereign status of the provinces in Confederation. It is, therefore, of vital interest to the Province of Quebec and holds promise for First Nations’ governance. This aspect of our nation’s constitutional monarchy merits far more examination by scholars and policy-makers than it has received. Attention to the Crown in Canada – and attention there has recently been – has focused primarily on the Office of the Governor General. In part, this stems from a spotlight on the federal vice-regal reserve powers of dissolution and prorogation in 2008 and 2009 (Russell and Sossin, 2009). In addition, there has been debate in the media about the appropriateness of using the term “Head of State” in reference to the Governor General. In most cases, those who call for the end of the monarchy ignore its vital provincial dimension. Few commentators have drawn attention to the provincial Crown and the Lieutenant Governors who embody it; among those few are Michael Valpy and Ian Holloway (Valpy 2009). The present paper will discuss what we call the “provincial Crown” and how it evolved. By doing so, we will make the case that it is integral to how Canada has evolved as a fascinating federation and that to ignore its significance diminishes thoughtful discourse on the nation’s strengths.

  • Montague Submission Redacted.Pdf
    Appendix 10 City of Saskatoon Naming Advisory Committee Community Services Qepartment, Planning &Development Branch 222 — 3~d Avenue North Saskatoon, Saskatchewan S7K 015 August 5, 2Q19 Dear Committee Members: Re: (Donald) Murray Montague (March, 1037 —April, 2010) It is my pleasure to add my name to those who have submitted Murray Montague for consideration of Street Naming in our fine city. Although Murray has passed away, his enduring legacy warrants ongoing acknowledgement. Many came to know this amiable, highly civilized man because of his years as Deputy Chief of the Saskatoon Police Service. One of his inspiring contributions was implementing the School Safety Program, which still exists. I first met Murray when he was an Aide de Camp to Her Honour Sylvia Fedoruk. This important role in service of the Crown is only filled by those considered outstanding in one of the three arms of the military, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and the Police Services. By the time I had become Lieutenant Governor, Murray had been the Principal Driver for His Honour Jack Wiebe, a position he continued for six and a half years with me. This individual was the consummate gentleman, a kind, thoughtful professional who was well- read and articulate. He was deeply admired because of his demeanor. In 2004, I presented him with the Vice-Regal Commendation for his outstanding devotion and exemplary service. A Lieutenant Governor is permitted to give only one such award in his/her tenure and Murray Montague was my choice. I would be mast grateful if the Committee saw fit to recognize this special citizen of Saskatoon in a permanent way.
