In 1851, the management of the post office was transferred from Britain’s Royal Mail to provincial governments, and in 1867, with Confederation, the first department of the newly created national government was the Postmaster General position. This continued until 1981 when it was abolished as the Post Office Department became a crown corporation, now led by a President and CEO. The last PG was Andre Ouellet, who served two terms. There have also been some famous people who have served in this position: two of them were Fathers of Confederation, Hector Louis Langevin and Sir Alexander Campbell. These two individuals also had important buildings named after them: The Langevin Block today houses the offices of the Prime Minister and Privy Council, and the S.A.C. building was Canada Post’s Head Office until it was demolished to make way for a new building, with Crown Corporation. Another important PG was Sir William Mulock, who was appointed by Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and who in turn was instrumental in bringing William Lyon Mackenzie into public life as his Deputy Minister. He inherited an inefficient bureaucracy that was losing almost a million dollars a year in the late 1890’s, but he believed that improved service and lower prices would increase revenue and better connect Canada and the British Empire. He campaigned for lower rates throughout the Empire and succeeded in implementing an Imperial Penny Post, and he personally designed and issued the new stamp with a map of the world showing the extent of the British Empire which coincidentally became the world’s first Christmas stamp. 6 Mulock also introduced an amendment to the Post Office Act that made Canada the first country in the world to give free postage privileges for braille materials and books for the blind. He also initiated a program to provide Post Office employment for the deaf. Mulock was knighted in 1902 for his services, in particular for the Penny Post, the Transpacific Cable, and wireless telegraphy between Canada and Great Britain. By 1903, the Post Office was generating a surplus of almost a million dollars a year. Mulock was also extremely active in both business and the community, such as the foundations of the Toronto-Dominion Bank, The Toronto Star newspaper, Toronto Wellesley Hospital, and Canada’s fist national peace organization. As one of the most successful and energetic individuals to ever work in government, he was known in later life as the “Grand Old Man” of Canada. Mulock Drive in Newmarket, one of the two main roads in that community, is named after him. Ref.

  • 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 .

  • Introduction
    backhouse 02text (xi-322) 4/22/04 4:06 PM Page 3 INTRODUCTION Y about to meet Mrs. Elizabeth Bethune Campbell, a woman of formidable intellect, wit, and sarcasm, with the determination of steel. Her book, Where Angels Fear to Tread, written in and self- published in from her home in the rectory of St. John’s Episcopalian Church in Jamaica Plain, Boston, raised considerable controversy when it first appeared. Mrs. Campbell’s fascinating entan- glement with the law spanned fourteen years. It began in , when she first came across an unsigned copy of her mother’s will while sort- ing through musty family trunks. The saga peaked in , when Mrs. Campbell appeared on her own behalf to argue her case in front of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London. The legal battle finally ended in , when the Ontario Court of Appeal issued its last decision on the matter of costs relating to the complex web of litiga- tion spawned by Mrs. Campbell’s inheritance. The story that Mrs. Campbell tells is extraordinary, and not only because she appears to have been the first woman to argue in front of the Law Lords at the Privy Council. Mrs. Campbell’s description of the barriers she surmounted before emerging victorious in England unveils the intricate, multilayered world of overlapping intrigue and influence that constituted the early-twentieth-century Ontario legal system. From her unique vantage point as both an insider and an out- sider, she comments on the actions of lawyers and judges with acuity and perspicacity. Others might have thought as she did.

  • Introducing Darwinism to Toronto's Post-1887 Reconstituted
    Introducing Darwinism to Toronto’s Post-1887 Reconstituted Medical School JOHN P. M. COURT “The boys sang their best songs and cheered with renewed vigour.” —The Mail (Toronto), 1890 Abstract. Charles Darwin’s scientific paradigm was largely welcomed in Cana- dian academic biology and medicine, while reaction among other faculty and laypeople ranged from interest to outrage. In 1874, Ramsay Wright, a Darwin- ian-era biologist from Edinburgh, was appointed to the University of Toronto’s Chair of Natural History. Over his 38-year career Wright integrated the evolu- tionary perspective into medical and biology teaching without accentuating its controversial source. He also applied the emerging German experimental research model and laboratory technology. This study identifies five categories of scientific and personal influences upon Wright through archival research on biographical sources and his writings. Keywords. natural history, biology, Darwinian evolution, medical education Résumé. Les théories de Charles Darwin ont été largement acceptées au Canada en médecine et en biologie, alors que les réactions au sein d’autres dis- ciplines et parmi la population allaient de l’intérêt à l’indignation. En 1874, Ramsay Wright, un biologiste d’Édinbourg, devint titulaire de la chaire d’his- toire naturelle à l’Université de Toronto. Pendant 38 ans de carrière, Wright a intégré la perspective évolutionniste dans son enseignement en médecine et en biologie, mais sans faire part de sa source controversée. Il a aussi utilisé la tech- nologie de laboratoire et le modèle de recherche expérimentale allemands, alors en émergence. Cette étude identifie cinq catégories d’influences personnelles et scientifiques perceptibles chez Wright, partant de ses écrits et de documents d’archives à caractère biographique.
