Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 PREFACE This thesis is a study of the political failure of Sir Joseph- Adolphe Chapleau. It is an examination of the ideas and actions of the last great French Canadian Conservative disciple of the LaFontaine political tradition. That tradition stemmed from Louis-Hippolyte LaFontaine's claims during the 1840's that in a union with English- speaking Canadians the flexibility of the British constitutional system could best ensure the acquired rights of French Canadians and also a healthy climate for the favourable growth of their language, institu­ tions and nationality. LaFontaine's doctrine which, he claimed, would ensure not only la survivance but also 1 'epanoulsseirent of French Canada, demanded that a French Canadian political leader possess the confidence of his anglophone and francophone colleagues if he wished to be success­ ful in the political arena. This study seeks to establish and to explain Chapleau's inability to cement those necessary ties. By the time Chapleau arrived on the federal political stage in 1882 to reaffirm the francophone-anglophone political alliance that LaFontaine and Baldwin had created and Cartier and Macdonald had con­ tinued, English-speaking Conservatives seriously questioned the need and advantage of a relationship based on equality with French-speaking Con­ servatives. That anglophone position resulted from the decrease in the francophone community's electoral power as the population in English- "The term Conservative and Liberal-Conservative shall be used interchangeably throughout the thesis. ii speaking Canada after Confederation increased in proportion to that of French-speaking Canada. In addition, many English-speaking Canadians contended that dual language and separate schools had failed to establish a true national amalgam--a necessity if Canada were to realize the aim of Confederation and become a great nation. Consequently, French Canadians found that their views were often neglected and aspirations thwarted by the anglophone majority. This situation produced friction between the two communities which became apparent in the early 1870's with the rejection of French Canadian wishes in the New Brunswick School issue. Therefore, Chapleau, who desired to secure Cartier's mantle as co-leader of the party with Macdonald after Cartier's death in 1873, faced two major difficulties. From a position of political weakness, Chapleau was not only forced to attempt to secure anglophone trust in himself, but also to obtain for French Canadians an equal voice in the determination of national policy. Those problems that Chapleau confronted were coupled with the necessity to ensure his dominance in French Canada. That task was not easy because by the end of the 1840's a section of the LaFontaine party had turned from a larger perspective to concentrate on Church-State problems in French Canada. That group which became entrenched within the Liberal-Conservative party of Macdonald and Cartier turned from 2 parliamentarianism towards authoritarianism. By 1882, those dissident Jacques Monet, s. j., "French-Canadian nationalism and the challenge of ultramontanism", CHAR, 1966, p. 41. iii Conservatives, nominally led by Senator F.-X.-A. Trudel, openly challenged those Quebec Conservatives who maintained a larger perspective, such as Chapleau. A second obstacle Chapleau faced was Sir Hector Langevin. Langevin had been the nominal leader of French Canada since Cartier's death. However, once Chapleau clashed with his Quebec colleague over the position of the small coterie of particularist Conservatives within the party and Langevin's handling of the Riel affair, Chapleau was determined to supplant Langevin as Quebec chef. In the discussion of these themes, each of the chapters of the dissertation focuses on an element of Chapleau's thought and action. Although all of Chapleau's life is examined in a chronological fashion, the thesis concentrates on the latter part of his life from 1882 when he entered federal politics, through his term as Lieutenant-Governor of the province of Quebec until his death in 1898. The material to document this study was rather sparse and probably accounts for the fact that no biography or major work on Chapleau has 3 ever been written. Since Adolphe Chapleau, as well as Honore Mercier and Wilfrid Laurier dominated Quebec politics in the last quarter of the Chapleau's private secretary, L.-H. Tache, under the pseudonym of A. de Bonneterre, wrote a short sketch of Chapleau's life as an introduc­ tion to a collection of Chapleau's speeches. The book was published in 1887 under the title: L'Honorable J.-A. Chapleau. Sa biographle, suivie de ses principaux discours.... (See Montreal Gazette Saturday November 19, 1887, and L'Etendard jeudi le 20 octobre 1887). Since that date• only two major articles have appeared concerning Chapleau. (See Jacques Gouin, "Histoire d'une amitie: correspondance intime entre Chapleau et DeCelles (1876-1898)", RHAF, 18.3 (dec. 1964), 363-386; 18.4 (mars 1965), 541-565; and H. Blair Neatby and John T. Saywell, "Chapleau and the Conservative party in Quebec", CHR, 37.1 (March 1956), 1-22.) iv nineteenth century, the fact that Chapleau is largely forgotten is lamentable and an error that this thesis hopefully rectifies to some extent. Undoubtedly, Canadians do not remember Chapleau because very little of his private correspondence remains. Chapleau had saved his letters and stored them in his office at the Credit Foncier Franco- Canadien in Montreal. After his death, Lady Chapleau had the material transferred to the basement of La Banque d'Epargne, where all the mate- 4 rial was destroyed in a fire. Consequently, Chapleau's ideas and out­ look must be gleaned from other sources. Valuable information about Adolphe Chapleau can be found in the private papers of the Prime Ministers at the Public Archives of Canada in Ottawa, private collections in the National Archives of Quebec at Quebec City or the files of political and religious leaders at the various religious archives in Quebec and Manitoba. In addition, other private archives contain some of Chapleau's correspondence. Mr. Jacques Gouin of Hull kindly allowed me to tead the DeCelles-Chapleau correspondence which he possessed. Most of these letters (now in the Fonds Gouin at the Centre de Recherche en Civilisation Canadienne-Francaise at the Universite d'Ottawa) were addressed from DeCelles to Chapleau. The letters from Chapleau to DeCelles are located at Le Seminaire St -Joseph, aux Trois-Rivieres. I am also indebted to Dr. Jean Bruch£si,m. s. r. c., who not only allowed me to see corres­ pondence between Chapleau and his maternal grandfather, Mathias C. Robert Rumilly, Histoire de la Province de Quebec, Montreal: editions Bernard Valiquette, [n. d.J, IX, 54 . v Desnoyers, but also spoke to me about the relations between his uncle, Mgr. Bruchesi and Chapleau. Besides correspondence, pamphlets, and speeches, newspapers were extremely beneficial in the preparation of this thesis. La Minerve, Chapleau's personal organ, and La Presse, presented his viewpoint. Senator Trudel's thought was revealed in L'Etendard and Liberal atti­ tudes appeared in La Patrie. Other newspapers, both in the English and French language added valuable material on specific questions and on the general atmosphere of the period. I express sincerest thanks to those who helped proof-read my thesis--Jeryl McLean, John Rasmussen, Andre Lamalice, Francois-Xavier Neve de Mevergnies--, to Mrs. V. Gowing who aided with some typing, to Mrs. B. Steel for her advice in reproducing this work and to my excellent typist Mrs. Minnie Cutts. In addition, I am indebted to the many archivists and librarians who aided me in finding materials. I wish to express special thanks to Mr. Ralph Heintzman who listened attentively during our many conversations and who pointed out valuable information about Chapleau which he discovered during his own research. Most of all, I thank Dr. Jacques Monet, s. j., for supervising my dissertation. With­ out his patience, encouragement and suggestions, I would never have com­ pleted this thesis. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE INTRODUCTION 1 I. ENTREE EN SCENE 38 II. LES CASTORS 62 III.

  • THE MINISTRY 71 2.—The Ministry. a System of Government Based Upon
    THE MINISTRY 71 2.—The Ministry. A system of government based upon the British, by which a Cabinet or Ministry (composed of members of the House of Commons or the Senate), responsible to Parliament, holds office while it enjoys the confidence of the people's representatives, is found in Canada. The Cabmet is actually a committee of the King's Privy Council for Canada. Without enlarging upon the features of the system, it may be sufficient to note that the Cabmet is responsible to the House of Commons, and, following established precedent, resigns office when it becomes evident that it no longer holds the confidence of the people's representatives. Members of the Cabinet are chosen by the Prime Minister; each of them generally assumes charge of one of the various Departments of the Government, although one Minister may hold two portfolios at the same time, while other members may be without portfolio. The Prime Ministers since Confederation and the dates of their tenures of office, together with the members of the twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth Minis­ tries, as on June 28, 1926, Aug. 31, 1926, and Oct. 15, 1926, are given in Table 2. 2.—Ministries since Confederation. NOTE.—A complete list of the members of Dominion Ministries from Confederation to 1913 appeared in the \ear Book of 1912, pp. 422-429. A list of the members of Dominion Ministries from 1911 to 1921 appeared in the Year Book of 1920, pp. 651-653. 1. Rt. Hon. Sir John A. Maodonald, Premier. From July 1,1867 to Nov. 6,1873.

Apostolat Juridique: Teaching Everyday Law in the Life of Marie Lacoste Gérin- Lajoie (1867-1945) Abstract Based on a reading of archival material stored in a convent in east-end Montreal, the author describes the career of Marie Lacoste Gérin-Lajoie, a self-trained jurist who taught and wrote about law for women in convent schools, teachers' colleges, study circles, temperance union meetings and the like over a forty- year period in Quebec at the beginning of this century. Her career as a law teacher is presented as a sign of a less visible facet of the history of legal education in Quebec-beyond the formal institutions of law teaching-that was closely tied to the home and the private world of domestic life in which law and women were perceived to meet.

  • PLACE VIAU Storm Water Management - Shopping Center at 10100 Place Viau, Saint-Léonard
    PLACE VIAU Storm water Management - Shopping center at 10100 Place Viau, Saint-Léonard For this shopping center manager, this project was a new challenge that Soleno could meet, thanks to the benefits of its HDPE advanced products for economical and sustainable storm water management. READ MORE THE CONTEXT The system was to be installed at a proper depth in rock and clay, with more than eight meters of embankment above the basins. It had to withstand normal traffic loads and had to be partially built in winter. THE SOLUTION Guy Trudeau, an engineer with Marchand Houle & Asso- ciates, chose the Stormchamber system without ground water replenishment, arranged as three retention systems (for a total retention capacity of 700 m) that can support a embankment height of 8 meters, a resistance four times higher than for injected polypropylene tanks, two Aqua- Swirl systems for storm water management that can be buried at a shallower depth, especially in rock, two linear wells (installed subsequently in July 2013), SolFlo Max pipes and flow regulators. THE ADVANTAGES Thanks to their light weight, their ease of installation and the savings they can generate on site, these innovative products are particularly suited to complex projects with multiple constraints (i.e. space and depth) and they allow project partners to add to their portfolio. The project manager, Magil Construction Corporation, had already had positive experiences in installing triple-wall HDPE sumps and was already in his second and third installation of Aqua-Swirl systems (AS-5). Frederick Groulx-Houde, with L.A. Hébert Ltd., illustrates: “We had to install several different products and complete the project in the cold and snow.

C’est dans ce contexte que s’articule la pensée politique de Joseph-Adolphe Chapleau. Influencé par les idées de Louis-Hippolyte LaFontaine et de George-Étienne Cartier, le jeune politicien est séduit par l’idée d’une nouvelle nation politique réunissant les deux peuples fondateurs formant alors le Canada. La pensée nationaliste de Chapleau se caractérise alors par un double idéal, soit celui de défendre les intérêts des Canadiens français tout en préservant l’unité de la Confédération canadienne. Au moment de la Grande Dépression de 1873, le politicien parvient à adapter sa pensée en regard du contexte économique difficile et domine ses adversaires, particulièrement les Castors : ce groupe de Conservateurs ultramontains dissidents des politiques de Chapleau. Ces derniers l’accusent de s’être allié aux Libéraux. Une fois sur la scène fédérale, Chapleau espère réaffirmer l’alliance entre les deux principales nations au Canada, mais se retrouve confronté à l’Affaire Riel qui ébranle le pays en entier. À partir de ce moment, la pensée politique de l’homme ne se retrouve plus en phase avec le contexte dans lequel il se trouve, ce qui motive ses nombreuses défaites personnelles dans les années qui suivent.

  • History of Quebec. Cleophas Edouard Leclerc
    834 HISTORY OF QUEBEC. as President of the Quebec Association of Architects, which post he now fills with much acceptability. To !?how he has a comprehensive knowledge of the principles and details of building construction and architecture, it is sufficient to enumerate the following magnificent buildings he has de- signed in Montreal, which stand for the beautification of the city, namely, the Board of Trade Building, Montreal Amateur Athletic Association, Olivet Baptist Church, the new Medical Building of McGill University, and the Children's Memorial Hospital, now in course of construction. Mr. Brown has also constructed several large manufacturing and com- mercial establishments, among which may be mentioned the following plants: The Standard Shirt Company, Southam Building on Alexander Street, Jenkins Bros., Limited, and the Canadian Spool Cotton Company at Maisonneuve, the latter being the Canadian business of the firm of J. & P. Coates, of Paisley, Scotland. Mr. Brown is a member of the Architectural League of New York and a member of the Montreal Board of Trade. Both his public and private life have been characterized by the utmost fidelity of duty, and he stands as a high type of honorable citizenship and straight- forward manhood, enjoying the confidence and winning the respect of all with whom he has been brought in contact in business life. In 1900 Mr. Brown married Harriet Fairbairn Eobb, second daughter of William Robb, City Treasurer, Montreal. He is a member of the Canada Club, the Manitou Club, the Beaconsfield Golf Club, and the Royal St. Lawrence Yacht Club. CLEOPHAS EDOUARD LECLERC.
