They may be Francophone descendants of mercenaries in the 18th century or Anglophone immigrants of the 1950s. In the 1980s, after a long period of official downplaying of the presence of the Germans, some German-Canadian leaders fought for recognition of the German contribution to a multicultural Canada. Many German-Quebecers took over this discourse, but some refused the idea of a German ‘founding people’ and insisted on the distinct role of their Francophone society. Furthermore, even in Canada, post-war immigrants had to come to terms with the German past; the victimisation often characterized the German- Canadian press, since readers many, of whom lived in Québec often were expellees of the German ‘eastern territories’ and the few exiles often chose to stay invisible. Thus for its citizens of German heritage, Québec became the place of encounter of several competing identity discourses, whether it was about the role of Francophones in Canadian history or about the role of Germans.

  • The Military Reputation of Major-General James Wolfe
    THE MILITARY REPUTATION OF MAJOR-GENERAL JAMES WOLFE Presidential Address Delivered by E. R. Adair 1936 This is an age when heroes are viewed with a somewhat sceptical eye, when it is felt that mere blind veneration for the reputations of the past should not turn aside the chilly wind of historical criticism, that the legends devised to charm worshippers must be tested by the acid of facts. So far General Wolfe has survived any serious attacks upon his reputation, very largely because he was fortunate enough to die in the moment of victory, a victory moreover that came like a blessed thunderbolt to an England that thought that all hope of it had departed, for, as Horace Walpole aptly says, Wolfe's final despatch couched "in the most artful terms that could be framed" had "left the nation uncertain whether he meant to prepare an excuse for desisting, or to claim the melancholy merit of having sacrificed himself without a prospect of success."(1) But if his reputation has so far survived practically untarnished, it is not because he has been wholly exempt from all the dangers to which dead heroes are exposed. On the one hand he has been rendered at times a little ridiculous, by the praises of his more eulogistic biographers, of whom Beckles Willson is one of the worst,(2) and who have found it necessary to discover even in his earlier years those splendid qualities which they thought it proper for a Hero to possess; that there was no particular authority to justify their views seemed quite immaterial.

  • The English (Atheiral of Quebe}
    THE ENGLISH (ATHEIRAL OF QUEBE}. READ BEFORE THE £iterary and jistorical $atitty, Quebec, 10th March, 1891, BY F RED. C. WUR TELE, ESQ. In writing the history of the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity of Quebec, it will not be out of place to give a short sketch of those good Monks and Friars of the order of St. Francis who were the former proprietors of the land on which the sacred edifice has been built. The mendicant order of Monks, called Franciscans, was founded in Spain, in the year 1208, by St. Francis d'Assisi.* Subsequently they spread into Italy and were introduced into France by St. Louis of Gonzaga. They were also called “Récollets,” from the latin word “Recollectus,” sig nifying “meditation” and also “gathering.” Their chief works were teaching, nursing the sick, and ministering to the poor, whose wants they supplied out of the donations and alms which they received. In fact their livelihood was obtained entirely by begging, performed by the “Frères Mineurs,” and so highly were they esteemed and beloved in old Canada, that the “habitants” would always transport free of charge the results of their begging expeditions from village to village and finally to the con vent in Quebec. The boatmen invariably were pleased to ferry them free across the St. Lawrence, * DeSalignac, 64 Samuel de Champlain relates, that “he was convinced of “the necessity of religious instruction to influence such of “the Indian population of Canada as might be induced to “turn to agricultural pursuits.” In this connexion he was directed by Sieur Louis Houel, at Brouage to apply to the General of the Order of Recollets.

    Project 107 Report Lawrna Myers June 22, 2016 Project 107 The goal of Project 107 is to locate and document the men, women and children who died during Canada’s First World War Internment Operations. Research has identified 126 individuals who died in Internment Camps across Canada. It is believed that this number differs from the original 107 individuals who were recorded as dying in General Otter’s report as the number of 126 includes six children as well as all internees that died in Amherst. At this time it has not been determined for those who died in Amherst if they were internees from Canada or German prisoners of war. It also includes two males who were not identified as “Prisoners of War” in the Canadian War Graves Registry The internees died in six provinces across Canada, they were originally buried in 33 different cemeteries.

  • Book Reviews Kathleen Winter. Lost in September. Toronto: Alfred A
    Book Reviews Kathleen Winter. Lost in September. Toronto: Alfred A. Knopf Canada, 2017. ISBN 978-0-345-81012-0 Kathleen Winter’s debut novel Annabel, about a gender fluid young person coming of age in Labrador and St. John’s, met with widespread critical acclaim and my own personal admiration, so I was very keen to pick up her next fictional offering, Lost in September. While sharing a focus with its predecessor on the fluidity or ambiguity of identity, Lost is quite a departure from the earlier novel. Winter tells the story of a young man in Quebec in September 2017 who believes himself to be General James Wolfe, the historical figure who fought against Montcalm on the Plains of Abraham. The central premise is Jimmy’s attempt to regain the lost time when Wolfe was to be on leave, but the calendars changed that year from the Julian to the Gregorian, thus eliminating 11 days of September and consequently Wolfe’s leave. It is a compelling premise, demonstrating both the constructedness of time, which we often take for an invariable fact, and the mutability of identity. Winter crafts a modern-day/historical quest narrative, in that the young present-day Wolfe meanders through first Montreal and then Quebec City, encountering various tragic or quite literally co- lourful individuals who guide him on his journey. In addition to the homeless Sophie, with whom he shares a tent on Mont Royal, Jimmy meets historian Genevieve Waugh, who is researching for a book on James Wolfe and who is struck by the young man’s similarity to the historical figure.

  • The Battle of Québec, 1759
    The Battle of Québec, 1759 Concept(s) Primary Source Evidence, Cause and Consequence Prepared for Grade(s) 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 Province NB By Ernest Wasson Time Period(s) 1700-1800 Time allotment 4 x 60 minutes per class period Brief Description of the Task In this unit students interpret, value and interact with primary source evidence as they try and answer why the English won the Battle of Québec in 1759. The attachments include a range of primary and secondary sources: letters, memoirs, historical accounts, paintings, and maps. Objectives for Historical Thinking: Students will be able to to analyze primary sources by considering the source and seeking corroboration; use several primary sources to construct an explanation of a historical event. Required Knowledge & Skills It would be helpful if students were to be given a brief overview of the Seven Years War and introduced to basic military strategy, weaponry, etc. of the era. They might also benefit from an understanding of issues relating to warfare (high ground, advantage to the defender, etc.). The lessons do not assume an understanding of primary and secondary sources, but this too would further student ability to answer the inquiry question. Detailed Instructions 1. As a springboard activity to develop curiosity and model the interpretation of evidence, show students Benjamin West’s The Death of Wolfe (1770) in ATT 2.
