  • Gender and Nationalism: Acadians, Québécois, and Irish in New Brunswick Nineteenth-Century Colleges and Convent Schools, 1854-1888
    CCHA, Historical Studies, 68 (2002), 7-23 Gender and Nationalism: Acadians, Québécois, and Irish in New Brunswick Nineteenth-Century Colleges and Convent Schools, 1854-1888 Sheila ANDREW The role of Quebec classical colleges in encouraging nationalism is already clear and several excellent studies have shown the importance of Quebec convents in developing women’s role, but we know less about nationalism among women or in New Brunswick classical colleges or convents, where the Acadian self-image developed as a counterpoint to Québécois or Irish nationalism.1 Nationalism developed in both colleges and convents, but it took different forms that related to gender. College and convent administra- tors encouraged bilingualism but colleges also developed aggressive Acadian, Québécois, and Irish nationalism, sometimes as a by-product of tensions in New Brunswick or within the college and religious commu- nity, and sometimes deliberately, as a valued manifestation of masculine emulation. The college authorities sought to unify the students again, either through common dislike of the British colonial actions, or surprisingly pro-British and monarchical sentiments.2 In contrast, the 1 Claude Galarneau, Les collèges classiques au Canada français.

    Rundquist: C3b Y DNA Study 8/12 C3b Y Chromosome DNA Test Results Point to Native American Deep Ancestry, Relatedness, among United States and Canadian Study Participants By Marie Rundquist August 2012 Introduction: A study of Amerindian ancestry by way of DNA testing involves the comparison of participant test results with genetic sequences established for indigenous, Native American populations. The primary objective of a Y chromosome DNA study of Amerindian ancestry is to confirm, by way of DNA testing, the likelihood that a male project participant descends directly from a Native American paternal-line ancestor. A secondary objective, important to a study of genealogy, is to establish that project participants of the same surname have shared a common, paternal-line, ancestor within recent generations. Surname studies benefit from Y chromosome DNA tests as the male chromosome passes from a father to a son, by way of inheritance, virtually unchanged except for mutations, and matching genetic sequences, discovered among surname study participants, can determine the probability of a most recent common ancestor -- a family patriarch - within a genealogically significant period of time. Within DNA surname studies that trace the paternal line, short tandem repeats (STRs) are particularly useful; a close, Y chromosome DNA match, calculated at 67 (STR) markers, points to a high probability that a common, male, paternal line ancestor exists within recent generations of a family genealogy. DNA tests may also be used to uncover deepest ancestral origins. The C3b Y DNA haplogroup, at the center of the study, is characterized by the P39 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), a genetic indicator of deep, Native American ancestry.

  • Seafood Guide
    Prince edward island Message From the Minister Whether harvested from the sea or produced through aquaculture, Prince Edward Island seafood products are renowned for their distinctive flavour and high quality. The export of fish products accounts for more than 35 per cent of the province’s shipments to international markets, so I can confidently say that Prince Edward Island seafood products are enjoyed around the world. The seafood processing industry has long been an important component of the economy of Prince Edward Island. In 2010, more than 124 million pounds of marine resources were harvested with the landed value in excess of $122 million. Seafood products are processed in modern processing facilities and the value of fish product shipments has increased significantly. However, one thing has remained the same, that is the proud Island tradition of offering only the best in seafood products, produced in a quality environment and harvested and processed with care. I am pleased to present our newly revised Seafood Guide. With listings of seafood plants, information on the wide array of products, and detailed contact information, I am sure you will find the directory to be a valuable reference guide. If you require further information on Prince Edward Island seafood products, please do not hesitate to contact the Department of Fisheries, Aquaculture and Rural Development. Sincerely, Honourable Ron W. MacKinley Minister 3 Prince edward island 5 Contact Information This Seafood Guide is published by the Prince Edward Island Department of Fisheries, Aquaculture and Rural Development. The guide is an alphabetical listing of company names, as well as contact person(s) and products processed by species.
