  • COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN P. E. L and the MAINLAND by FRANK MACKINN(>N*
    j_ ..... :'i. COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN P. E. L AND THE MAINLAND By FRANK MACKINN(>N* ~HE most serious problem in Prince Edward Island, next to the land question, has concerned communication facil­ ities between the province and the mainland. To the Island, which is expected to share in the commercial and political endeavours of the nation, an effective link with its neighbours is a vital factor. More than any other, this problemhas com­ plicated the relations between Charlottetown and Ottawa. 1 In colonial days distance cut the Island off from inter­ course with Nova Scotia and New Brunswick-a separation that had a distinct effect on the outlook of its people and the development of its institutions. The only way of getting to and from the colony was by sailing packet in summer and by ice boat in winter. The service was irregular at the best of times, but in winter it was impossible to ship goods in quantity, ensure safe travel, or avoid long delays in mail service, when the strait was frozen over and crossings tedious and hazardous. With the coming of the steamship and the consequent increase -~. in the speed of mail service, travel, and commerce, the Island government sought to benefit by it. In 1840 the Assembly noted that the British government had let a contract to Samuel Cunard for a steamship service between Pictou, Miramichi and Quebec, and requested that the arrangement be changed to enable the boat to call at Charlottetown both ways. A reply indicated that Mr. Cunard had refused to do this, but that he would provide another boat if the local assembly would pay for it.

    Université de Montréal Societal Cleavages and Institutional Change in Canada Retention, Reform and Removal of Nominee Councils par Bruce M. Hicks Département de science politique Faculté des arts et des sciences Thèse présentée à la Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales en vue de l’obtention du grade de doctorat en philosophie Décembre, 2011 © Bruce M. Hicks, 2011 Université de Montréal Faculté des études supérieures et postdoctorales Cette thèse intitulée: Societal Cleavages and Institutional Change in Canada Présenté par : Bruce M. Hicks a été évaluée par un jury composé des personnes suivantes : Éric Montpetit, président-rapporteur André Blais, directeur de recherche Richard Nadeau, membre du jury Lori Turnbull, examinateur externe Denyse Baillargeon, représentant du doyen de la FES i Résumé En concevant que toute société a deux clivages dominants, l’un social et l’autre partisan, cette thèse développe une théorie sur le changement institutionnel. L’hypothèse initiale, selon laquelle les groupes sociaux créés par le premier clivage agiront pour restreindre le changement institutionnel et que le changement aura lieu lors de l’émergence d’un groupe partisan capable de croiser le clivage social, fut testée par les processus traçant les changements qui furent proposés et qui ont eu lieu au sein des conseils nominés en Amérique du Nord britannique. Ces conseils furent modifiés un bon nombre de fois, devenant les chambres secondaires de législatures provinciales avant d’être éventuellement abolies. La preuve supporte l’hypothèse, bien qu’il ne soit pas suffisant d’avoir un groupe partisan qui puisse croiser le clivage qui mène le changement : un débat partisan sur le changement est nécessaire.
