This new revised and enlarged edition of the Canadian Parliamentary Guide and Work of General Refer¬ ence has been somewhat delayed by reason of recent numerous general elections in Canada, but it has the ad¬ vantage of being brought up to the London and North Oxford bye-elections on June 13. Some of the errors which crept into the last edition have been corrected and if any others appear in this edition the Editor will be obliged to any person who would point them out so that an approach to perfection in the next edition may be attained. In this edition there are almost thirteen more pages than in the last and much useful information not easily accessible elsewhere will be found in the first twenty and the last four pages.

  • The Limits to Influence: the Club of Rome and Canada
    THE LIMITS TO INFLUENCE: THE CLUB OF ROME AND CANADA, 1968 TO 1988 by JASON LEMOINE CHURCHILL A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2006 © Jason Lemoine Churchill, 2006 Declaration AUTHOR'S DECLARATION FOR ELECTRONIC SUBMISSION OF A THESIS I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract This dissertation is about influence which is defined as the ability to move ideas forward within, and in some cases across, organizations. More specifically it is about an extraordinary organization called the Club of Rome (COR), who became advocates of the idea of greater use of systems analysis in the development of policy. The systems approach to policy required rational, holistic and long-range thinking. It was an approach that attracted the attention of Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Commonality of interests and concerns united the disparate members of the COR and allowed that organization to develop an influential presence within Canada during Trudeau’s time in office from 1968 to 1984. The story of the COR in Canada is extended beyond the end of the Trudeau era to explain how the key elements that had allowed the organization and its Canadian Association (CACOR) to develop an influential presence quickly dissipated in the post- 1984 era. The key reasons for decline were time and circumstance as the COR/CACOR membership aged, contacts were lost, and there was a political paradigm shift that was antithetical to COR/CACOR ideas.

  • The Scots of Beechwood Tour
    The Scots of Beechwood The Scots have immigrated to Canada in steady and substantial numbers for over 200 years, with the connection between Scotland and Canada stretching farther — to the 17th century. Scots have been involved in every aspect of Canada's development as explorers, educators, businessmen, politicians, writers and artists. The Scots are among the first Europeans to establish themselves in Canada and are the third largest ethnic group in the country. With a history and heritage this long, it was only natural that the Scots of Ottawa found a home at Beechwood Cemetery. 1. TOMMY DOUGLAS - Section 64, Graves 285, 286 Born on October 20, 1904 in Falkirk, Scotland. In the fall of 1928, Tommy became a minister at Calvary Baptist Church in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. He felt first hand the harshness of the Depression in the prairies. Douglas knew that something had to be done for the common man. His experience with the vast unemployment and poverty transformed T.C. Douglas, the clergyman, into a social activist. By 1932, Douglas helped organize an Independent Labour Party in Weyburn of which he became president. The movement soon evolved into the Farmer Labour Party. This party offered hospital care for everyone on an equal basis, including unemployment insurance and universal pension. By July of 1932, the labour parties of the four western provinces formed an alliance under the name Cooperative Commonwealth Federation (CCF). The CCF became Canada’s first national socialist party. In 1935, Douglas was elected into parliament under the CCF. By the early 40’s, Tommy moved away from the federal politics and became leader of the Saskatchewan provincial CCF party (1942) while maintaining his seat in the House of Commons.

  • Village by CHARLES HENRY PRESTON
    Descendants of Roger Preston of Ipswich and Salem Village By CHARLES HENRY PRESTON Salem, Massachusetts THE ESSEX INSTITUTE 1931 [Reprinted from the Historical Collections of the Essex Institute, Volumes LXI-LXVII.] Salem, Massachusetts NEWCOMB & GAUSS CO., Printm 1 9 3 1 ROGER PRESTON'S LEASE OF THE DOWNING FARM IN SALEM INTRODUCTORY NOTE This volume of the genealogy of the descendants of Roger Preston, who settled in Ipswich, Tufassachusetts, in 1635 or soon after, is the result of more than twenty years research and correspondence, and gives a fairly complete account of his descendants bearing the name of Preston, and many allied families. The work has been greatly complicated, especially in the earlier generations, by the fact that several other Prestons were in New England very early, and the descendants of each have covered much of the same territory. A William Preston settled first in Dorchester, Massa­ chusetts, in 1635, thence went to New Haven, Connecti­ cut, in 1639. He had a son Daniel who remained in Dorchester. William Preston had many descendants, and a genealogy of one branch of this family was published in 1896 by E. R. Wilcox. Cothren's History of Wood­ bury, Conn., also has an account of this family. A short genealogy of Daniel Preston's descendants appeared in the New England Historic Genealogical Register, Vol. 14, page 26. The compiler of this volume has much material concerning the family of William Preston and Daniel Preston which has never been published. There was a John Presson or Presbury in Saco, Maine, as early as 1675.

  • History of Quebec. Cleophas Edouard Leclerc
    834 HISTORY OF QUEBEC. as President of the Quebec Association of Architects, which post he now fills with much acceptability. To !?how he has a comprehensive knowledge of the principles and details of building construction and architecture, it is sufficient to enumerate the following magnificent buildings he has de- signed in Montreal, which stand for the beautification of the city, namely, the Board of Trade Building, Montreal Amateur Athletic Association, Olivet Baptist Church, the new Medical Building of McGill University, and the Children's Memorial Hospital, now in course of construction. Mr. Brown has also constructed several large manufacturing and com- mercial establishments, among which may be mentioned the following plants: The Standard Shirt Company, Southam Building on Alexander Street, Jenkins Bros., Limited, and the Canadian Spool Cotton Company at Maisonneuve, the latter being the Canadian business of the firm of J. & P. Coates, of Paisley, Scotland. Mr. Brown is a member of the Architectural League of New York and a member of the Montreal Board of Trade. Both his public and private life have been characterized by the utmost fidelity of duty, and he stands as a high type of honorable citizenship and straight- forward manhood, enjoying the confidence and winning the respect of all with whom he has been brought in contact in business life. In 1900 Mr. Brown married Harriet Fairbairn Eobb, second daughter of William Robb, City Treasurer, Montreal. He is a member of the Canada Club, the Manitou Club, the Beaconsfield Golf Club, and the Royal St. Lawrence Yacht Club. CLEOPHAS EDOUARD LECLERC. Cleophas Edouard Leclerc, Notary and Justice of the Peace, Montreal, has the distinction of being a direct descendant of Abraham Martin, the of Scottish pilot and historical character after whom the Plains Abraham at Quebec were named.

  • By the Militia Colonels and Amateur Militarists Who Pressed Him to Do More
    - 229 - by the Militia colonels and amateur militarists who pressed him to do more. They played little part in Canada or in the Conservative Party while Macdonald was alive. General herbert, who had been in Cnnada less than a year when Macdonald died, wrote this description of his Military policy to theDuke of Cambridge: His views were very peculiar. Whilst up­ holding in the strongest manner political the idea of the integrity of Canada, as a portion of the British Empire, he muld do nothing pract~cally for the defence either of the Dominion or the Empire. He looked upon money, voted for militia purposes, only as a means of gaining political party ends, but he was honest enough to keep that use of it within strict limits, and consequently cut down the militia estimates to the lowest possible figure. he knew that at any time he could obtain an increased vote, but he also knew that any money so voted would not yield any corresponding efficiency but muld merely add to party claims wh i ch Y\O uld have to be satisfied from that source. 688 320. Sir John Abbott emerged after the death of Macdonald as a caretaker Prime Minister. He remained in office for a year and a half. Sir Adolphe Caron finally gave up his portfolio on 25 January 1892, having held it for ten years and three months. Be was succeeded by Mac kenzie Bowell, now in his seventies and a some~at mellower man than the intrepid foe of brigade majors of some twenty years before.

    1 HISTORY 1101A (Autumn 2009) THE MAKING OF CANADA MRT 218, Monday, 5.30-8.30 p.m. Instructor: Prof. Jeff Keshen Office: Room 110, 155 Seraphin Marion Office Hours - Monday, 3-5 Phone: 562-5800, ext. 1287 (or by appointment) Fax - 562-5995 e-mail- [email protected] Teaching Assistants - TBA ** FOR A COURSE SYLLABUS WITH ALL LECTURE OUTLINES GO TO: http://www.sass.uottawa.ca/els-sae-shared/pdf/syllabus-history_1101-2009_revised.pdf This course will cover some of the major political, economic, social, and cultural themes in order to build a general understanding of Canadian history. As such, besides examining the lives of prime ministers and other elites, we will also analyse, for example, what things were like for ordinary people; besides focussing upon the French-English divide, we will also look at issues revolving around gender roles and Canada’s First Peoples; and besides noting cultural expressions such as "high art," we will also touch upon things such as various forms of popular entertainment. The general story will come from the lectures. However, your outline will refer to chapters from the Francis, Smith and Jones texts, Journeys. You should read these, especially if parts of the lecture remain unclear. The textbook will provide background; it will not replicate the lectures. Required readings will consist of a series of primary source documents. The lectures will refer to many of those documents, suggesting how they might be understood in relation to the general flow of events. Thus, on the mid-term test and final examination, you should be able to utilize the required readings and the lecture material in responding to questions.
