    Prince Edward Island and Confederation 1863-1873

    CCHA, Report, 28 (1961), 25-30 Prince Edward Island and Confederation 1863-1873 Francis William Pius BOLGER, Ph.D. St. Dunstan’s University, Charlottetown The idea of Confederation did not receive serious consideration in Prince Edward Island prior to the year 1863. Ten more years elapsed before the subject of union with the British North American Colonies moved into the non-academic and practical sphere. The position of the Island in the Confederation negotiations illustrated in large measure the characteristics of its politics and its attitude to distant administrations. This attitude might best be described simply as a policy of exclusiveness. The history of the Confederation negotiations in Prince Edward Island consisted of the interplay of British, Canadian, and Maritime influences upon this policy. It is the purpose of this paper to tell the story of Confederation in Prince Edward Island from 1863 to 1873. The policy of exclusiveness, which characterized Prince Erward Island’s attitude to Confederation, was clearly revealed in the political arena. The Islanders had a profound respect for local self-government. They enjoyed their political independence, particularly after the attainment of responsible government in 1851, and did not wish to see a reduction in the significance of their local institutions. They realized, moreover, that they would have an insignificant voice in a centralized legislature, and as a result they feared that their local needs would be disregarded. Finally, previous frustrating experience with the Imperial government with respect to the settlement of the land question on the Island had taught the Islanders that it was extremely hazardous to trust the management of local problems to distant and possibly unsympathetic administrations.

  • Mechanisms for Enhancing the Retirement Income System of Canada

    Mechanisms for Enhancing the Retirement Income System of Canada

    Province of Nova Scotia Department of Finance MECHANISMS FOR ENHANCING THE RETIREMENT INCOME SYSTEM IN CANADA The Government of Nova Scotia is working with other provinces and territories, and the Government of Canada, to consider opportunities for enhancing Canada’s retirement income system. The overall goal is to increase savings from employment income of individuals (i.e. future retirees) who are not currently saving enough to obtain sufficient levels of replacement income to maintain their standard of living in retirement. Finance Ministers have been informed by comprehensive research as well as proposals and comments submitted by numerous interest groups and individuals. Selective reports and research from various jurisdictions can be found at: http://www.gov.ns.ca/lwd/pensionreview/default.asp http://www.fin.gc.ca/activty/pubs/pension/riar-narr-eng.asp http://www.fin.gov.on.ca/en/consultations/pension/dec09report.html The Finance Ministers provided direction at their June 2010 meeting for continuing work in this area. They acknowledged the importance of financial literacy and the central role that the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) plays in our government supported retirement income system. Most Ministers have agreed to consider a modest, phased-in, and fully-funded enhancement to the CPP in order to increase coverage and adequacy. Ministers further agreed to continue to work on pension innovations that would allow financial institutions to offer broad based defined contribution pension plans to multiple employers, all employees, and to the self-employed. Results of further work on technical and implementation issues will be presented at the late Fall 2010 meeting.
  • Self-Isolation Requirements in Nova Scotia Revised September 8, 2021

    Self-Isolation Requirements in Nova Scotia Revised September 8, 2021

    Self-isolation requirements in Nova Scotia Revised September 8, 2021 DOMESTIC TRAVELERS Self-isolation requirements are based on vaccination status and testing for anyone traveling from Canadian provinces and territories outside Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador. This includes Nova Scotia residents returning to the province. Isolation requirements are as follows: • People who are fully vaccinated do not have to self-isolate but testing is still recommended. • People who are not fully vaccinated must self-isolate for at least 7 days and cannot leave isolation until they get 2 negative tests results. Fully vaccinated means you had two doses of a World Health Organization approved vaccine (or 1 dose of Janssen) at least 14 days before arriving in Nova Scotia. If you received your second dose of vaccine less than 14 days before arriving in Nova Scotia, it does not count toward your vaccination status. Children 18 and younger must follow the isolation requirements for the least vaccinated adult they are traveling with. If the child is more vaccinated than the adult they are traveling with, they should isolate based on their own vaccination status. Children 16 and older can have their own form using the vaccination information of the least vaccinated adult they are traveling with. Younger children should be included on the same form of the least vaccinated adult they are traveling with. Testing for the purposes of ending isolation earlier than 14 days must be done in Nova Scotia, not in advance of arrival. It cannot be a rapid test. It must be a standard PCR lab test which usually takes up to 72 hours to get results.

  • Chapter 1. Prince Edward Island, Canada

    Chapter 1. Prince Edward Island, Canada

    [ Chapter 1 ] Prince Edward Island, Canada KAREN E. LIPS Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada’s smallest and most densely populated province, is an arc-shaped land mass of 2,185 square miles nestled on the eastern seaboard in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. Th e island’s heritage land- scape is made up of a rich layering of natural and cultural forms in dis- tinctive patterns and arrangements. Th e natural landform pattern of gentle hills carved into the sandstone bedrock by glacial streams has evolved into a cultural landscape of rolling fi elds framed by parallel hedgerows, with farmsteads settled in wooded groves. Coastal roads dip into forested hol- lows and open up to wide ocean views on the hills, while traversing the deeply indented coastline of bays and inlets across a patchwork of hedge- row-lined fi elds and rivers running to the sea. Th is rich natural mosaic, with its well-developed fi t between the visual and the functional, is largely an artefact of the British colonial settlement patterns of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries (Clark 1959: 214–223).1 An interwoven layer of coastal fi shing harbours and riverside settlements originated under the infl uence of the earlier inhabitants, in- cluding the aboriginals and the French settlers, the Acadians. With hard work and ingenuity, the Acadians adapted the seventeenth-century French style of dyke construction to reclaim coastal salt marshes for agriculture; this extended fi eld pattern was often maintained by later settlers. Th e land- scape features of the island’s Malpeque Bay area are rich in Mi’kmaq sym- bolic imagery, based on 10,000 years of enduring use for hunting, fi shing, gathering and spirituality.

While most of these campuses are included, the list will gradually become more complete as we learn more about specific traditional territories. When requested, we have also included acknowledgements for other post-secondary institutions as well. We wish to emphasize that this is a guide, not a script. We are recommending the acknowledgements that have been developed by local university-based Indigenous councils or advisory groups, where possible. In other places, where there are multiple territorial acknowledgements that exist for one area or the acknowledgements are contested, the multiple acknowledgements are provided.
