Drawing upon extensive manuscript research, it focuses on the reign of Mary I (1553-1558), when the official return to Roman Catholicism was accompanied by the prosecution of Protestants for heresy, and the reign of Elizabeth I (1558-1603), when the state religion again shifted to Protestantism. I argue that the cognitive dissonance created by these seesaw changes of official doctrine necessitated a society in which religious mutability became standard operating procedure. For most early modern men and women it was impossible to navigate between the competing and contradictory dictates of Tudor religion and politics without conforming, dissimulating, or changing important points of conscience and belief.

    First Speech of the 28Th Lieutenant Governor of Ontario Mr. Premier

    First speech of the 28th Lieutenant Governor of Ontario Mr. Premier, Former Premiers, Mr. Chief Justice, Former Lieutenant Governor Lincoln Alexander, Members of the Legislative Assembly, Ontario Regional Chief and Grand Chiefs of our First Nations, Pastor Martin, Distinguished Guests, Members of the Accessibility Standards Advisory Council, Ladies and Gentlemen, Mes Chers Amis, On behalf of my wife Ruth Ann, my sons Jonathan, Robert and Michael and through marriage, the members of the Wallace, Smithson, Mason, Wiseman, Guest and Howson families, thank you for sharing this wonderful day with us. It is a privilege and an honour to speak to you, for the first time, as the 28 th Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, the Representative of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. C’est un grand honneur pour moi que de m’adresser à vous aujourd’hui en tant que représentant, en Ontario, de Sa Majesté la reine Elizabeth II. My Father’s side of the family came to Canada from the British Isles in the 1840’s and my maternal grandmother’s family settled in the Niagara region as United Empire Loyalists. My maternal grandfather was born in London, England and came to Toronto in 1912 along with his brother, three sisters and mother. As such, I grew up in an environment of great respect and affection for The Queen of Canada as our Head of State. As an adult, my news reporting and volunteer activities at a wide variety of functions attended by successive Lieutenant Governors over the last 22 years have given me insight into the important constitutional, community, ceremonial and other public responsibilities of this office.

    To the Top of Parks Canada

    To the top of Parks Canada As Parks Canada’s centennial celebrations were getting underway, the agency’s chief executive officer, Alan Latourelle (pictured in Torngat Mountains National Park in Labrador), sat down for a conversation with the editors of Canadian Geographic. The complete interview appears here: CG Give us a sense of what the centennial of Parks Canada means for the agency. A.L. For Parks Canada, and for Canada, it is really celebrating the first national park organization in the world. This is a country that had the foresight and leadership to be the first to build an exceptional system of natural and heritage places. J. B. Harkin [first commissioner of the Dominion Parks Branch in 1911] and others before us set the way for a system plan that is representative of our country. So, for me, it is a celebration of who we are as Canadians and of the foresight and leadership of past heads of Parks Canada and past prime ministers. CG How do you go about celebrating that? Tell us about some of the events planned for 2011 that will bring that to life? A.L. It started this weekend with Winterlude here in Ottawa, where the opening ceremony included a project called the National Parks Project. Fifty musicians and filmmakers from Canada went through our national parks last summer and each produced a one‐hour documentary. Some of the best were being showcased at Winterlude. We want to connect Canadians to their stories, to our national parks, to our national historic sites, and invite them to celebrate with us.
