  • Language Guarantees and the Power to Amend the Canadian Constitution
    Language Guarantees and the Power to Amend the Canadian Constitution Armand L. C. de Mestral and William Fraiberg * Introduction An official language may be defined as one ordained by law to be used in the public institutions of a state; more particularly in its legislature and laws, its courts, its public administration and its public schools.1 In Canada, while language rights have historically been an issue of controversy, only a partial provision for official languages as above defined is to be found in the basic constitutional Acts. The British North America Act, in sec. 133,2 gives limited re- cognition to both Engish and French in the courts, laws, and legis- latures of Canada and Quebec. With the possible exception of Quebec, the Provinces would appear to have virtually unlimited freedom to legislate with respect to language in all spheres of public activity within their jurisdiction. English is the "official" language of Mani- toba by statute 3 and is the language of the courts of Ontario.4 While Alberta and Saskatchewan have regu'ated the language of their schools,5 they have not done so with respect to their courts and • Of the Editorial Board, McGill Law Journal; lately third law students.

  • The Roots of French Canadian Nationalism and the Quebec Separatist Movement
    Copyright 2013, The Concord Review, Inc., all rights reserved THE ROOTS OF FRENCH CANADIAN NATIONALISM AND THE QUEBEC SEPARATIST MOVEMENT Iris Robbins-Larrivee Abstract Since Canada’s colonial era, relations between its Fran- cophones and its Anglophones have often been fraught with high tension. This tension has for the most part arisen from French discontent with what some deem a history of religious, social, and economic subjugation by the English Canadian majority. At the time of Confederation (1867), the French and the English were of almost-equal population; however, due to English dominance within the political and economic spheres, many settlers were as- similated into the English culture. Over time, the Francophones became isolated in the province of Quebec, creating a densely French mass in the midst of a burgeoning English society—this led to a Francophone passion for a distinct identity and unrelent- ing resistance to English assimilation. The path to separatism was a direct and intuitive one; it allowed French Canadians to assert their cultural identities and divergences from the ways of the Eng- lish majority. A deeper split between French and English values was visible before the country’s industrialization: agriculture, Ca- Iris Robbins-Larrivee is a Senior at the King George Secondary School in Vancouver, British Columbia, where she wrote this as an independent study for Mr. Bruce Russell in the 2012/2013 academic year. 2 Iris Robbins-Larrivee tholicism, and larger families were marked differences in French communities, which emphasized tradition and antimaterialism. These values were at odds with the more individualist, capitalist leanings of English Canada.

  • The New Brunswick Schools Question
    CCHA Study Sessions, 37(1970), 85-95 The New Brunswick Schools Question by Peter M. TONER Section 93 of the British North America Act has probably caused more bitterness than any other article of Confederation. This was the section which theoretically guaranteed protection for the education of religious minorities of the various provinces by extending federal protection over any schools operated in the interests of the Catholic minorities in most provinces, and the Protestant minority in Quebec. Without question, the Manitoba Schools Question was the most famous dispute regarding education in Canada’s history, with Regulation 17 of Ontario ranking second. It has been common in the past for historians of either controversy to cite the problem of Catholic schools in New Brunswick as the first example of an Anglo-Saxon provincial government defying the spirit of Section 93 and, by so doing, trample on the rights of French-Canadians. Writing in the Journal of Canadian Studies,1 Professor W. L. Morton used the question of New Brunswick schools as the first step in the destruction of the principle of centralization in the “Macdonald Constitution”. However, he asserted that denominational schools, almost by virtue of definition, implied teaching through the medium of French, thus making any question involving Catholic schools a question of language as well.2 The New Brunswick Schools Question, because it involved Catholic schools, a portion of the Acadian people of the Maritimes, an d provincial rights, was therefore the precedent for the later crisis in Manitoba and Ontario. In the course of a reply to Prof.

  • Railroad Crossings: the Transnational World of North
    RAILROAD CROSSINGS: THE TRANSNATIONAL WORLD OF NORTH AMERICA, 1850-1910 By Christine Ann Berkowitz A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Christine Ann Berkowitz 2009. RAILROAD CROSSINGS: THE TRANSNATIONAL WORLD OF NORTH AMERICA, 1850-1910 By Christine Ann Berkowitz Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Department of History, University of Toronto, 2009 ABSTRACT The last quarter of the nineteenth century is often referred to as the “Golden Age” of railroad building. More track was laid in this period in North America than in any other period. The building of railroads was considered synonymous with nation building and economic progress. Railway workers were the single largest occupational group in the period and among the first workers to be employed by large-scale, corporately owned and bureaucratically managed organizations. While there is a rich historiography regarding the institutional and everyday lives of railway workers and the corporations that employed them, the unit of analysis has been primarily bounded by the nation. These national narratives leave out the north-south connections created by railroads that cut across geo-political boundaries and thus dramatically increasing the flows of people, goods and services between nations on the North American continent. Does the story change if viewed from a continental rather than national perspective? Railroad Crossings tells the story of the people and places along the route of the Grand Trunk Railroad of Canada between Montreal, Quebec and Portland, Maine and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad (and later of the Southern Pacific) between Benson, Arizona and Guaymas, Sonora.

Meanwhile, on the verandah of the nearby rectory, a dozen elderly women swung brooms and sticks at billly-club-wielding police officers who were seeking to force their entry into a side door of the blockaded building. Moments earlier, the loud ringing of the church bells had summoned a multigenerational crowd of nearly three thousand neighborhood residents, determined to prevent the entry of Father Francois-Xavier Laurendeau, newly appointed priest for the parish, and Father Denis O’Connor, a diocesan official. A tense standoff between a dozen police officers and many hundreds of normally law-abiding citizens had been broken moments earlier, when the constables raised their billy clubs and even revolvers, and moved toward the blockaded doors.

In another dimension it reflects and responds to the developing relations between the French and the English throughout Canada's national history" Competing visions of federalism are visible at every stage in the development of French language education policy.
