Since then I have spent four years in the Dominion; years full of opportunities to study her truly wonderful resources, and the conclusion is borne in upon me that the man who coined that phrase was a prophetic thinker. If the apothegm was true before the war, it should be doubly so after. Africa is exceptionally rich in gold and diamonds; South America and Manchuria in copper; the United States in oil, coal, and iron-ore, while England has been described as "The Coal-cellar of the World/' but in no country known to civilization has Nature been so bountiful as to Canada, that tract of land measuring nearly three-and-three-quarter mil- lion square miles—about a third of the British Empire. One may well talk of her "broad acres," when there are nearly two billion three hundred and eighty seven millions of them! Literally millions of acres of the most perfect soil are simply waiting for the plough. Her enormous harvests can easily be trebled. In fact, with her uninterrupted "fat years," Canada already bids fair to become a modern Egypt, to which the world will turn for bread. It is no exaggeration to say that the vast mineral wealth of the country has scarcely been scratched; that wealth far beyond the dreams of avarice is just lying waiting to be developed. My statement as to Canada's potential greatness and her practically illimitable natural resources—which open up op- portunities in almost every phase of life—is no parrot cry; I speak of that which I know. That knowledge, too, is backed by experience accumulated in Great Britain, France, Bel- gium, Portugal, Africa, Germany, and Canada. The technical departments of the Canadian Governments have done—and are continuously doing—wonders, in the — xiv INTRODUCTION fields of Geological, Mineralogical, and Agricultural research, the benefits of which are available for the asking, to whom- soever is interested. The population of England and Wales exceeds five hundred people per square mile ; at one-quarter of that rate Canada would accommodate half a billion. Her most sanguine ex- pectations do not exceed a quarter of that number, so that one can always count on ample breathing space and to spare. With her vast area—huge tracts of which being still unsur- veyed—her present population does not exceed an average of two persons per section or square mile. This fact will doubtless appeal strongly to those of this and the next generation whose inclinations lead them to an open-air life, not the least of the many benefits of which is the close proximity to nature. "Jim" Cornwall, the well-known fur-trader, who has spent many years away up north in the region of the Mackenzie River basin, once told me that sleeping on the ground wrap- ped in his rug—with nothing between him and the high heavens, without a human being within sight or hearing he felt as though he could reach out and shake hands with God. The man who owns his farm, the "vested righter" who reaps the fruits of his own brain and brawn, makes for individual and national wealth. The citizen makes the nation, and from the national point of view this excerpt from Dickens' philosophy is worthy of record:—"In love of home, the love of country has its rise, and who are the truer patriots or the best in time of need—those who venerate the land, owning its wood, and stream, and earth, and all that they produce, or those who love their country, boasting not a foot of ground in all its wide domain ?" For many years "emigrating" from Great Britain and Ire- land largely meant settling in the United States.

  • “Everybody Called Her Frank” : The
    JOURNAL OF NEW BRUNSWICK STUDIES Issue 2 (2011) “Everybody Called Her Frank”1: The Odyssey of an Early Woman Lawyer in New Brunswick Barry Cahill Abstract In February 1934 Frances Fish was called to the bar of New Brunswick and spent the next forty years practising law in her home town of Newcastle (now City of Miramichi) NB. In 1918 she had been both the first woman to graduate LLB from Dalhousie University and the first woman to be called to the bar of Nova Scotia. Though she initially intended to remain in Halifax, she instead left Nova Scotia almost immediately, abandoning the practice of law altogether. She spent the next fifteen years working as a paralegal in Ottawa and Montreal before returning to New Brunswick and resuming the practice of law. This article is a study of Fish’s career in New Brunswick, framed within the experience of the first women lawyers in Canada, of whom she was the seventh.2 Résumé En février 1934, Frances Fish a été reçue au Barreau du Nouveau-Brunswick. Pendant les quarante années qui ont suivi, elle a pratiqué le droit dans sa ville natale, Newcastle (qui fait maintenant partie de la ville de Miramichi), au Nouveau-Brunswick. En 1918, elle a été la première femme à obtenir un baccalauréat en droit de la Dalhousie University et la première femme reçue au Barreau de la Nouvelle-Écosse. Bien qu’elle avait, au début, l'intention de rester à Halifax, elle a quitté la Nouvelle- Écosse presque immédiatement après ses études, abandonnant complètement la pratique du droit.

  • Angry Aryans Bound for Glory in a Racial Holy War: Productions of White Identity in Contemporary Hatecore Lyrics
    Angry Aryans Bound for Glory in a Racial Holy War: Productions of White Identity in Contemporary Hatecore Lyrics Thesis Presented in Partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Roberto Fernandez Morales, B.A. Graduate Program in Sociology The Ohio State University 2017 Thesis Committee: Vincent Roscigno, Advisor Hollie Nyseth Brehm Eric Schoon Copyright by Roberto Fernandez Morales 2017 Abstract The Southern Poverty Law Center reports that, over the last 20 years, there has been a steady rise in hate groups. These groups range from alternative right, Neo Confederates, White Supremacist to Odinist prison gangs and anti-Muslim groups. These White Power groups have a particular race-based ideology that can be understood relative to their music—a tool that provides central recruitment and cohesive mechanisms. White supremacist rock, called Hatecore, presents the contemporary version of the legacy of racist music such as Oi! and Rock Against Communism. Through the years, this genre produces an idealized model of white supremacist, while also speaking out against the perceived threats, goals, and attitudes within white supremacist spaces. In this thesis, I use content analysis techniques to attempt to answer two main questions. The first is: What is the ideal type of white supremacist that is explicitly produced in Hatecore music? Secondly, what are the concerns of these bands as they try to frame these within white supremacist spaces? Results show that white supremacist men are lauded as violent and racist, while women must be servile to them. Finally, white supremacist concerns are similar to previous research, but highlight growing hatred toward Islam and Asians.

  • ADL Backgrounder on Larry Darby
    ADL Backgrounder on Larry Darby Larry Darby, who openly declared his white supremacist and anti-Semitic views, lost his bid to become the Democratic candidate for Alabama attorney general in the primary election held on June 6, 2006. According to reports, Darby received about 44 percent of the vote -- a disturbing turnout for a candidate who recently spoke at a meeting of a neo-Nazi group and denied that the Holocaust ever took place. In 2002, Darby ran for the same office as a Libertarian Party candidate but dropped out of the race before the election. Who is Larry Darby? Darby is the founder, general counsel and former president of the Atheist Law Center based in Montgomery, Alabama. An anti-Semite and outspoken Holocaust denier, Darby claims that no more than 140,000 Jews died in Europe during World War II and that most of them died of typhus. He also asserts that the figure of 6 million Jews killed during World War II is part of the "Holocaust industry," and that there is no evidence of a mass extermination of Jews during that time. Meetings with Holocaust Deniers and Racists In July 2005 Darby organized a meeting where noted Holocaust denier DaDaDaDavidvidvidvid IrIrIrIrvinvinvinvingggg was the keynote speaker. Regarding Irving, Darby stated in January 2006: "Irving's findings are counter to the government-sanctioned version of what is called the Holocaust. The Holocaust has evolved into a religious industry with 1 / 4 sacred precepts that are examined only under the penalty of law. Free speech is anathema to the Holocaust industry." On May 13, 2006, Darby attended a closed meeting of the New Jersey unit of the neo-Nazi National Vanguard, which claims him as a member.
