E. PHELAN, 2331 St. Catherine Street, lVIontreal HISTORY HE history of Montreal as a centre of population commences with the visit of Jacques Cartier to the Indians of the town of Hochelaga in 1535. The place was situated close to T Mount Royal, on a site a short distance from the front of the McGill College Grounds, and all within less than a block below Sherbrooke Street, at Mansfie1.d Street. It was a circular palisaded Huron-Iroquois strong hold, which had been in existence for seyeral generations and had been founded by a party which had broken off in some manner from the Huron nations at Lake Huron, at a period estimated to be somewhere about 1400. It was at that time the dominant town of the entire Lower St. Lawrence Valley, and apparently also of Lake Champlain, in both of which quarters numerous settlements of the same race had sprung from it as a centre. Cartier describes how he found it in the following words: " And in the midst of those fields is situated and fixed the said town of Hochelaga, near and joining a mountain which is in its neighbour­ hood, well tilled and exceedingly fertile; therefrom one sees very far.

  • Défense Des Intérêts Des Canadiens Français Et Unité De La Confédération Canadienne : La Pensée Nationaliste De Joseph-Adolphe Chapleau, 1840- 1898
    Défense des intérêts des Canadiens français et unité de la Confédération canadienne : La pensée nationaliste de Joseph-Adolphe Chapleau, 1840- 1898 Mémoire Roy Dussault Maîtrise en histoire Maître ès arts (M.A.) Québec, Canada © Roy Dussault, 2018 Défense des intérêts des Canadiens français et unité de la Confédération canadienne : La pensée nationaliste de Joseph-Adolphe Chapleau, 1840- 1898 Mémoire Roy Dussault Sous la direction de : Martin Pâquet, directeur de recherche Résumé Le contexte de la Confédération canadienne constitue une fenêtre remarquable afin d’observer l’évolution du nationalisme au Québec à travers le XIXe siècle. C’est dans ce contexte que s’articule la pensée politique de Joseph-Adolphe Chapleau. Influencé par les idées de Louis-Hippolyte LaFontaine et de George-Étienne Cartier, le jeune politicien est séduit par l’idée d’une nouvelle nation politique réunissant les deux peuples fondateurs formant alors le Canada. La pensée nationaliste de Chapleau se caractérise alors par un double idéal, soit celui de défendre les intérêts des Canadiens français tout en préservant l’unité de la Confédération canadienne. Au moment de la Grande Dépression de 1873, le politicien parvient à adapter sa pensée en regard du contexte économique difficile et domine ses adversaires, particulièrement les Castors : ce groupe de Conservateurs ultramontains dissidents des politiques de Chapleau. Ces derniers l’accusent de s’être allié aux Libéraux. Une fois sur la scène fédérale, Chapleau espère réaffirmer l’alliance entre les deux principales nations au Canada, mais se retrouve confronté à l’Affaire Riel qui ébranle le pays en entier. À partir de ce moment, la pensée politique de l’homme ne se retrouve plus en phase avec le contexte dans lequel il se trouve, ce qui motive ses nombreuses défaites personnelles dans les années qui suivent.

Ma recherche ma diriger ailleurs et je me suis poser la question, pourquoi le cartier s’appelait le ‘Quartier des Grands Jardins’ comme je trouvais des jardins plus intéressant en Ville Marie ou se trouve notamment des belles jardins institutionnelles. Ma recherche a l’histoire du cartier à dévoiler une époque ou les rues Sherbrooke ouest, de Maisonneuve ouest et Dorchester ouest on était riche en patrimoine, avec des grands terrains et jardins magnifiques et maisons patrimoine d’époque…. qui n’existe plus aujourd’hui. C’est possiblement la raison pour la quelle le quartier porte ce nom. Récemment on a fête la 400ième anniversaire du Québec. Les journaux ont publie que tous les clochetés de les églises on sonnait au même temps pour cette journée de fête. Montréal a changé énormément dans les dernières cent-cinquante années….on aimera reculer dans le temps pour récupérer un peut l’histoire…mais, ce n’est pas toujours le cas.

You know the name; Kevin has been involved with Montreal’s Irish Community for some time. You’ve seen him at Ciné Gael Events, he was the Guest of Honour at the 2008 St. Patrick’s Ball and has been twice featured right here in Nuacht. But beyond the impressive resumé and well-merited accolades, what is Kevin Tierney really like? As Kevin’s former assistant, I’m here to tell you. I worked with Kevin for two years and on three productions, including a little- known fi lm called Bon Cop/Bad Cop. As his executive assistant, I had backstage access to the force that is Kevin Tierney. I’ve witnessed the on-set behavior and I’ve been privy to many interesting exchanges. I was there when the fi lm exploded onto Kevin Tierney: the 2013 SPS Luncheon’s Guest Speaker the scene and became not only the fi rst ever bilingual fi lm made in Canada, but When asked how he felt about his invitation to be the Guest the highest grossing movie in the history Speaker at this year’s luncheon, Kevin says “I am honoured, of Quebec and Canadian cinema.
