These regions are Bas-Saint-Laurent, Gaspésie, Côte-Nord and the Îles de la Madeleine. A vast territory bordered by 3000 kilometres (1900 miles) of coastline, which alternates between wide fine- sand beaches and small, rocky bays or impressive cliffs, Québec maritime has a long tradition that has been shaped by the ever-present sea. This tradition is expressed in the lighthouses that dot the coast, diverse and abundant wildlife, colourfully painted houses, gatherings on the quays and especially the joie de vivre of local residents. There are places you have to see, feel and experience… Québec maritime is one of them! Did You Know That… The tallest lighthouse in Canada is in Cap-des-Rosiers and is 34 metres (112 feet) high? Jacques Cartier named the Lower North Shore “the land of many isles” because this region’s islands were too numerous to name individually? Lake Pohénégamook is said to hide a monster named Ponik?

  • The Fur Trade and Early Capitalist Development in British Columbia
    THE FUR TRADE AND EARLY CAPITALIST DEVELOPMENT IN BRITISH COLUMBIA RENNIE WARBURTON, Department of Sociology, University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, V8W 2Y2. and STEPHEN SCOTT, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1S 5B6. ABSTRACT/RESUME Although characterized by unequal exchange, the impact of the fur trade on the aboriginal societies of what became British Columbia involved minimal dis- ruption because the indigenous modes of production were easily articulated with mercantile capitalism. It was the problems arising from competition and increasing costs of transportation that led the Hudson's Bay Company to begin commodity production in agriculture, fishing and lumbering, thereby initiating capitalist wage-labour relations and paving the way for the subsequent disast- rous decline in the well-being of Native peoples in the province. Bien que characterisé par un échange inégale, l'impact du commerce de fourrure sur les societiés aborigonaux sur ce qui est devenu la Colombie Britanique ne dérangèrent pas les societés, car les modes indigènes de production était facile- ment articulés avec un capitalisme mercantile. Ce sont les problèmes qui venaient de la competition et les frais de transportation qui augmentaient qui mena la Companie de la Baie d'Hudson à commencer la production de commodités dans les domaines de l'agriculture, la pêche et l'exploitement du bois. Par ce moyen elle initia des rapports de salaire-travail capitalist et prépara les voies pour aboutir å une reduction catastrophique du bien-être des natifs dans cette province. THE CANADIAN JOURNAL OF NATIVE STUDIES V, 1(1985):27-46 28 R E N N I E W A R B U R T O N / S T E P H E N S C O T T INTRODUCTION In the diverse cultures in British Columbia prior to and after contact with the Europeans, economic activity included subsistence hunting, fishing and gathering as well as domestic handicrafts.
