Cette constance des honneurs s 'attachant à un nom n'est pas le produit du hasard ; elle s'ex- plique par une véritable mission que *a Providence impose à certaines familles, comme à certains individus, et elle se justifie par la perpétuation du talent et de l'honneur.

Je ne sais pas flatter, j'aime trop mes compatriotes pour ne pas savoir leur dire la vérité. Que ma langue s'attache à mon palais, si jamais elle devait déguiser les convictions de mon âme ! Il faut bien l'avouer, jusqu'ici nous avons manqué de ces deux qualités maîtresses. Il est rare parmi nous de trouver deux générations de travailleurs. Il est rare que le patrimoine acquis par le père ne soit pas dissipé par le fils. Voyez notre ancienne noblesse ; voyez le grand rôle qu'elle aurait pu jouer, avec son ins- truction et ses richesses : aujourd'hui éteinte, presque entièrement disparue. Il est des exceptions sans doute, il en est une notable entre toutes. Quel est, à votre sens, le plus beau nom de la rf\ce française en Canada ? Est-ce Papineau ? Est-ce Lafontaine ? Papineau et Lafontaine ont été comme des météores dans la nuit ; mais il y a parmi nous une illustration perpétuelle qui pour moi a encore plus d'éclat. Le plus beau nom de la race française en Canada, c'est le nom de cette noble famille dans laquelle le talent, le caractère, l'honneur, la force, le sont héréditaires qui, à toutes les travail ; générations, depnis cent ans, a fourni des patriotes et des travailleurs dont l'empreinte a été marquée sur les hommes et les choses de leur temps qui, au début de ce ; siècle, avait l'honneur de compter un martyr de la liberté dans les prisons du gouverneur Craig qui a donné cinq ; juges à la magistrature, un archevêque à l'église du Canada, un cardinal à l'église universelle ! Saluons ce glorieux nom de Taschcreau ! saluons-le avec respect, parca que ce nom est le symbole de ces vertus viriles qui seules font les grandes races et les grandes nations. Je suis trop bien connu pour qu'il me faille rappeler que je suis un démocrate. J'appartiens à la roture, mais je l'affirme avec la plus grande sincérité, c'est avec un regret toujours renaissant que je vois l'extinction gradu- elle de ces vieilles familles, autrefois si illustres. Quand je vais dans mon pays natal, et que je vois le domaine seigneurial en ruine, les bois coupés, les jardins rasés, le parc devenu pâturage, le manoir occupé par un excellent homme, mais décidément par trop utilitaire, je me sens pris d'un invincible sentiment de tristesse, je voudrais encore voir le manoir aux mains de ses anciens maîtres, dans l'état d'aisance et de splendeur qui caractérisait jadis leur train de maison. Nous sommes dans un âge et dans un pays démocratiques ; mais la démocratie idéale, la dé- mocratie chrétienne telle qu'elle doit exister sur ce con- tinent n'est pas fondée sur un sentiment vil ; elle n'envie à qui que ce soit ni la grandeur du nom, ni l'éclat du rang, ni la splendeur de la fortune. L'idéal de la démo- cratie est de répandre le bien-être plus universellement, plus profondément dans toutes les classes, et de mettre à la portée du plus humble ces dons du Créateur qui jadis étaient l'apanage exclusif des classes privilégiées. Je ne veux pas prêcher l'égoïsme, mais permettez- moi de vous le rappeler, ô mes chers compatriotes : si nous voulons être quelque chose, si nous voulons nous souvenir un peu du rôle que la France a joué en Europe, encore une fois permettez-moi de vous le rappeler, nous n'arriverons à rien que par le travail, Pénero^ie, la per- sévérance, l'économie, la frugalité ; et, avant toutes choses, il faut avoir la fierté de soi-même, et la fierté de la grande nation dont nous sommes les descendants, (i) WiLFRiD Laurier (i) Discours prononcé le 23 août 1892, à l'occasion du jubilé sacerdotal du cardinal Taschereau et des noces d'or de la société Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Québec. LA FAMILLE TASCHEREAU La famille Taschereau est originaire de la Touraine. Dès 1492 elle fut anoblie par l'élection à l'éclievinat de Tours de Pierre Taschereau, marchand de draps de soie. Son fils Jean, son petit-fils Michel et son arrière petit-fils Jean furent également échevins. Ce dernier épousa Marie Gallant, fille d'Aule Gallant, seigneur de Montonant et de Bazay, élu capitaine et échevin de Tours en 1589, et maire de cette ville en 1597. Ce Jean Taschereau est le premier de la famille qui ajouta un nom de fief au sien : il prit la qualité de seigneur de Baudry. Il mourut en 1640. La famille Taschereau s'est divisée en plusieurs branches: les Taschereau de Baudry, les Taschereau des Pictières, les Taschereau de la Carte, les Taschereau de Ballau, les Tas- chereau de Narbonne, les Taschereau de Bléré, lesTavSchereau de Saint-Libert, les Taschereau de Lignières ou Linières, etc, etc. (i) Parmi les fonctionnaires et les dignitaires ecclésiastiques qu'elle a donnés à la Touraine on remarque : Gabriel Taschereau, seigneur de Linières, conseiller du roi, grand-maître enquêteur et général réformateur des eaux et forêts de France au département de Touraine (1644). (i) Onze communes, en France, portent le nom de Lignières ou Linières. Les Taschereau, croyons-nous, ont emprunté leur surnom de Linière à la commune de Linières, située à une trentaine de kilo- mètres de Tours. , 12 Micliel Tasclierenu, avocat an siège prtsidial de Tciirs, bailli de Marmoiitier (1660).

  • The Four Courts of Sir Lyman Duff
    THE FOUR COURTS OF SIR LYMAN DUFF RICHARD GOSSE* Vancouver I. Introduction. Sir Lyman Poore Duff is the dominating figure in the Supreme Court of Canada's first hundred years. He sat on the court for more than one-third of those years, in the middle period, from 1906 to 1944, participating in nearly 2,000 judgments-and throughout that tenure he was commonly regarded as the court's most able judge. Appointed at forty-one, Duff has been the youngest person ever to have been elevated to the court. Twice his appointment was extended by special Acts of Parliament beyond the mandatory retirement age of seventy-five, a recogni- tion never accorded to any other Canadian judge. From 1933, he sat as Chief Justice, having twice previously-in 1918 and 1924 - almost succeeded to that post, although on those occasions he was not the senior judge. During World War 1, when Borden considered resigning over the conscription issue and recommending to the Governor General that an impartial national figure be called upon to form a government, the person foremost in his mind was Duff, although Sir Lyman had never been elected to public office. After Borden had found that he had the support to continue himself, Duff was invited to join the Cabinet but declined. Mackenzie King con- sidered recommending Duff for appointment as the first Canadian Governor General. Duff undertook several inquiries of national interest for the federal government, of particular significance being the 1931-32 Royal Commission on Transportation, of which he was chairman, and the 1942 investigation into the sending of Canadian troops to Hong Kong, in which he was the sole commissioner .

  • A Decade of Adjustment 1950-1962
    8 A Decade of Adjustment 1950-1962 When the newly paramount Supreme Court of Canada met for the first timeearlyin 1950,nothing marked theoccasionasspecial. ltwastypicalof much of the institution's history and reflective of its continuing subsidiary status that the event would be allowed to pass without formal recogni- tion. Chief Justice Rinfret had hoped to draw public attention to the Court'snew position throughanotherformalopeningofthebuilding, ora reception, or a dinner. But the government claimed that it could find no funds to cover the expenses; after discussing the matter, the cabinet decided not to ask Parliament for the money because it might give rise to a controversial debate over the Court. Justice Kerwin reported, 'They [the cabinet ministers] decided that they could not ask fora vote in Parliament in theestimates tocoversuchexpensesas they wereafraid that that would give rise to many difficulties, and possibly some unpleasantness." The considerable attention paid to the Supreme Court over the previous few years and the changes in its structure had opened broader debate on aspects of the Court than the federal government was willing to tolerate. The government accordingly avoided making the Court a subject of special attention, even on theimportant occasion of itsindependence. As a result, the Court reverted to a less prominent position in Ottawa, and the status quo ante was confirmed. But the desire to avoid debate about the Court discouraged the possibility of change (and potentially of improvement). The St Laurent and Diefenbaker appointments during the first decade A Decade of Adjustment 197 following termination of appeals showed no apparent recognition of the Court’s new status.

  • Review of Emmett Hall: Establishment Radical
    A JUDICIAL LOUDMOUTH WITH A QUIET LEGACY: A REVIEW OF EMMETT HALL: ESTABLISHMENT RADICAL DARCY L. MACPHERSON* n the revised and updated version of Emmett Hall: Establishment Radical, 1 journalist Dennis Gruending paints a compelling portrait of a man whose life’s work may not be directly known by today’s younger generation. But I Gruending makes the point quite convincingly that, without Emmett Hall, some of the most basic rights many of us cherish might very well not exist, or would exist in a form quite different from that on which Canadians have come to rely. The original version of the book was published in 1985, that is, just after the patriation of the Canadian Constitution, and the entrenchment of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms,2 only three years earlier. By 1985, cases under the Charter had just begun to percolate up to the Supreme Court of Canada, a court on which Justice Hall served for over a decade, beginning with his appointment in late 1962. The later edition was published two decades later (and ten years after the death of its subject), ostensibly because events in which Justice Hall had a significant role (including the Canadian medicare system, the Supreme Court’s decision in the case of Stephen Truscott, and claims of Aboriginal title to land in British Columbia) still had currency and relevance in contemporary Canadian society. Despite some areas where the new edition may be considered to fall short which I will mention in due course, this book was a tremendous read, both for those with legal training, and, I suspect, for those without such training as well.

  • Ian Bushnell*
    JUstice ivan rand and the roLe of a JUdge in the nation’s highest coUrt Ian Bushnell* INTRODUCTION What is the proper role for the judiciary in the governance of a country? This must be the most fundamental question when the work of judges is examined. It is a constitutional question. Naturally, the judicial role or, more specifically, the method of judicial decision-making, critically affects how lawyers function before the courts, i.e., what should be the content of the legal argument? What facts are needed? At an even more basic level, it affects the education that lawyers should experience. The present focus of attention is Ivan Cleveland Rand, a justice of the Supreme Court of Canada from 1943 until 1959 and widely reputed to be one of the greatest judges on that Court. His reputation is generally based on his method of decision-making, a method said to have been missing in the work of other judges of his time. The Rand legal method, based on his view of the judicial function, placed him in illustrious company. His work exemplified the traditional common law approach as seen in the works of classic writers and judges such as Sir Edward Coke, Sir Matthew Hale, Sir William Blackstone, and Lord Mansfield. And he was in company with modern jurists whose names command respect, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., and Benjamin Cardozo, as well as a law professor of Rand at Harvard, Roscoe Pound. In his judicial decisions, addresses and other writings, he kept no secrets about his approach and his view of the judicial role.

THE SUPREME COURT OF CANADA History of the Institution Unknown and uncelebrated by the public, overshadowed and frequently overruled by the Privy Council, the Supreme Court of Canada before 1949 occupied a rather humble place in Canadian jurisprudence as an intermediate court of appeal. Today its name more accurately reflects its function: it is the court of ultimate appeal and the arbiter of Canada's constitutionalquestions. Appointment to its bench is the highest achieve- ment to which a member of the legal profession can aspire. This history traces the development of the Supreme Court of Canada from its establishment in the earliest days following Confederation, through itsattainment of independence from the Judicial Committeeof the Privy Council in 1949, to the adoption of the Constitution Act, 1982.
