  • Book Reviews 87 the Railway King of Canada: Sir William Mackenzie
    Book Reviews 87 The Railway King of Canada: Sir William Mackenzie, i84Q~ig23, by R. B. Fleming. Vancouver: University of British Columbia Press, 1991. xxi, 340 pp. Illus. $29.95 cl°th. R. B. Fleming presents us with a sympathetic portrait of one of the alleged robber barons of Canada, financier-promoter Sir William Mac­ kenzie. Declaring that "biography enriches history," the author places [Mackenzie's] "life itself [at] the focal point" of his study (pp. xbc, xxi). This approach allows Fleming to catalogue Mackenzie's myriad interests. But the organization impedes the author's analysis of Mackenzie's business strategy and his management of a series of firms besides the Canadian Northern Railway. The extant sources hinder his attempt to illuminate the character of the man who made the business decisions. Complementing T. D. Regehr's work, Fleming demonstrates that Mac­ kenzie's business interests extended far beyond the railway company most closely associated with his name. Before the promoter began to assemble the components of the Canadian Northern, he had already made a sub­ stantial fortune contracting for the Canadian Pacific Railway. During the 1890s he acquired street railway concerns in Toronto, Winnipeg, Montreal, and Birmingham, England. With the Canadian Northern under way, Mackenzie gained control of La Presse, promoted utilities which would become Brazilian Traction, and created a hydroelectric company in Ontario which competed for several years with the Ontario Hydro Commission. Indeed, the German newspaper accolade of Mackenzie as the "Railway King of Canada" diminished his activities. Although Fleming does not rehearse the origins and expansion of the Canadian Northern, Mackenzie's most important venture in western Can­ ada, he presents some new material about his.

  • In Memoriam: Hoyes Lloyd C
    IN MEMORIAM: HOYES LLOYD C. H. D. CLARKE 26 Lockie Avenue, Agincourt, Ontario MIS 1N4 Canada Hoyes Lloyd was a Fellow and a Patron of the A.O.U., and served as its President from 1945 to 1948. He joined as an Associatein 1916, becamean Elective Member in 1925, and a Fellow in 1932, electedat the secondmeeting held in Canada. In 1937he was electedto Council,and in 1942became vice-President. A willing worker on Council and on committees,he was a familiar and influentialfigure at a long successionof annual meetings.His influence extendedfar beyond the A.O.U., but all his life he was first and foremost an ornithologist. A loyal Torontonian, he was actually born, on 30 November 1888, in the nearby city of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, the sonof Henry HoyesLloyd and Lizzie Moore, but his family moved to Toronto within the next year. Birds fascinated him from the first. In days long before the illustrated guide books, boys who were interested in birds had to collect.His personalfile showshim accumulatingspecimens in 1903, when he alreadyowned several guns and couldload his own shells.After his death, in accordancewith the terms of his will, his collectionof birds, plants, and mam- mals, along with notebooksand catalogues,was depositedin the Royal Ontario Museum in his native Toronto. The additions continue into the 1970's, and the collectiontotals 4,726 birds and 45 setsof eggs. As a boy he frequented local taxidermist shops,but in time he met Charles William Nash, biologist of the old Ontario Provincial Museum. Nash was primarily an ichthyologistand herpetologist,and never becamea member of the A.O.U., but his "Vertebratesof Ontario" showshim to have been a competentornithologist.

At mid-century, the Canadian large cor- porate sector was primarily freestanding widely held firms, as in the mod- ern large corporate sectors of the United States and United Kingdom.

Department of t-DUCfc i JO r\J The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date rXt^q • 2?T/ 6 7- ii ABSTRACT Radio broadcasting, from its inception, was recognized as a medium with educational possibilities. The decision of the Privy Council in 1931 to vest control of broadcasting in the federal government, therefore, invited Dominion participation in radio education. With the establishment of the CBC, and the implication that it was to develop radio's educational potential, the possibility of having national radio education became more real. National radio education developed in response to four general forces. First, as the depression closed, the CBC was able to stabilize its financial situation, evolve a policy on controversial programming, establish co-operative relations with certain voluntary educational associations, and sponsor a national investigation into school broadcasting.

  • “The Story Is Only the Platter on Which the Personality Is Served”: the Debate Over Media Integrity on CBC Radio’S Literary Arts Programming, 1948–1985
    Research in Brief “The Story Is Only the Platter On Which the Personality Is Served”: The Debate Over Media Integrity on CBC Radio’s Literary Arts Programming, 1948–1985 Ross Allan Eaman Carleton University ABSTRACT The early efforts of CBC Radio to promote Canadian literature through programs such as Canadian Short Stories and its successor, Anthology, gave rise to various issues related to media integrity, including the selection of content, the use of language, and the format of presentation. Even before Robert Weaver retired in 1985, the approach he developed in the 1950s gave way to a different philosophy of literary arts programming, one focusing less on the needs of CanLit and more on the contingencies of radio. As in other cases of textual mi - gration across media, the ontological requirements of the destination medium eventually took precedence. The process by which this shift occurred is examined using the relatively un - explored papers of Weaver and Howard Engel and other documents. KEYWORDS CBC; Literary arts programming RÉSUMÉ Les premiers efforts de la part de CBC Radio pour promouvoir la littérature canadienne au moyen de programmes tels que Canadian Short Stories et son successeur, Anthology, ont soulevé diverses questions concernant l’intégrité des médias, y compris la sélection du contenu, l’usage de la langue et le format de présentation. L’approche développée dans les années 50 par Robert Weaver s’est vue supplanter, même avant sa retraite en 1985, par une philosophie différente envers la programmation en littérature, portant moins sur les besoins de la littérature canadienne et davantage sur ceux de la radio.

This case illustrates how ‘irrational exuberance’1 affected individuals in both the public and private sector, particularly Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier and corporate giant Sir William Mackenzie. Our story begins in July 1917, when the consequences of irrational exuberance were being felt, by some for the first time. The world was at war and Canadian Prime Minister Robert Borden had returned to Canada from meetings of the Imperial War Cabinet in London, where the news was not good.

  • Network Evolution: the Origins, Development And
    Network Evolution: The Origins, Development and Effectiveness of ’s Railway System Manitoba by Christopher G. L. McCombe A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF ARTS Department of Environment and Geography University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba © 2011 by Christopher McCombe Copyright ABSTRACT This thesis examines the changing characteristics of railway infrastructure development and associated issues in the province of Manitoba, Canada. The period under consideration dates from when the first tracks were laid in 1878 through to the completion of the Hudson Bay Railway in 1929. Setting the scene is a template for railway development in general, one that allows hypotheses to be drawn that are specific to Manitoba. In order to test those hypotheses it is necessary to first provide a comprehensive overview of the historical evolution of the railway network. Next, the tools for testing the hypotheses as to how that network emerged have to be reviewed. That review examines aspects of graph theory, identifying the methodology most appropriate for a spatial analysis of railway networks. With the fundamental assumption in mind that no railway system of any real complexity can be effectively understood without considering the process of its creation, this analysis attempts to draw conclusions about the relationship between the railway companies and the governments, people and geography that they were compelled to deal with. Given that objective, an emphasis is placed during hypothesis testing on a set of geographic forms developed by prominent geographer Donald Meinig, who set the precedent in the field of railway-network geography.
