VI THE FEDERATION: GENERAL OUTLINES, 1867-1912 TIME may show that the federation of Canada in 1867 is one of the important events in modern world history. It was separated by less than eighty years from the completion of the greatest of all federations—that of the United States. One parallel between the United States and Canada is striking. The American Union, like the Canadian, first consisted only of provinces on, or near, the Atlantic coast. Few dreamed, in 1789, that the United States would soon extend beyond the Mississippi to the Pacific. The Dominion of Canada, when first created, extended only to the western limits of the present Province of Ontario. The extension to the Pacific was more rapid than had been that of the United States : four years after the Dominion was first formed Canada had reached out across the continent. The really vital task in the history of Canada, since 1867, has been the creating of a great state from the divers elements which skilful statesmanship had brought together under a central parliament. So far is the task still from completion that it is only well begun. East and West, French and English, are not yet solidly one in Canada. In the older Canada sectionalism ran riot. When the Constitutional Act of 1 79 1 established the two provinces, Upper Canada and Lower Canada, it was expected and even intended that they should remain different in type ; one was to be EngHsh, the other French ; one was to have English law in civil affairs, the other French law ; one was to be prevailingly Protestant in character, the other Roman Catholic. For fifty years the two provinces grew, side by side, indeed, but almost wholly alien from each other. Their internal policies were petty and ; 4 THE FEDERATION the strife between parties was singularly intense and bitter. When, in 1837, this strife reached the stage of an appeal to arms, it was time for a larger-minded statesmanship to take Canada in hand. The Earl of Durham was sent out from Britain. He probed the situation to the bottom, found that the chief enemy of peace was sectionalism, and proposed a remedy. Henceforth there should be but one parliament all Canada should be under a single legislature. Thus it came about that the Union Act of 184 1 was passed by the imperial parliament. Canada had then but one legislature. In it sat French and English, and they could discuss their differences face to face. But the Union did not work well. The two Canadas were united by act of parlia- ment, but they were not united in any other sense. Each section treasured its old ideals. Each party had even its English and its French leader. The old sectional differences remained. Parties were almost evenly divided. In the end the machinery of the Union broke down, and then the new task of the political leaders in Canada was to evolve a real and workable union.

  • Progressive’ Politics? Commerce, Enterprise and Active Municipalism
    The Roots of ‘Progressive’ Politics? Commerce, Enterprise and Active Municipalism Emily Robinson, University of Nottingham In his classic study of Lancashire and the New Liberalism, Peter Clarke commented on the neglect of the word ‘progressive’, which he felt had been ‘ignored’ by historians and had ‘virtually been consigned to a not dissimilar period of American history.’ He felt that this was ‘a classical instance of "whig" usage’, reflecting the fact that ‘After the [First World] War, progressivism guttered on and flickered out. It was forgotten.’ He defended the term on the grounds that it was ‘hardly strange in the 1890s, and by 1910 it starts out from every newspaper page.’1 This itself sounds strange from the perspective of the early twenty first century when, yet again, assertions of ‘progressive’ politics are all around us. The use of the term progressive was ‘important’ to Clarke ‘because it relates to changes in the nature of politics’. For him, this was about the ability of the Liberal Party to respond to the social and labour demands of the new electorate in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. He wanted to demonstrate that this process was well under way before the First World War and that the subsequent decline in the Liberal Party’s electoral fortunes was not the inevitable result of intellectual paralysis. The key to this was the development of new – or social – Liberalism in the 1890s, and its relationship with social democracy. The consequent alliance between the two was often described as ‘progressive’
