  • Parliament of Canada / Parlement Du Canada
    PARLIAMENT OF CANADA / PARLEMENT DU CANADA The Dominion of Canada was created under the provisions of an Act of the Imperial Parliament (30 Victoria, Chapter III) passed in 1867, and formally cited as The British North America Act, 1867. This Act received Royal Assent, March 29th, 1867, and came into effect by virtue of Royal Proclamation, July 1st, 1867. The Constitution Act, 1867, provides: “There shall be one Parliament for Canada, consisting of the Queen, an Upper House styled the Senate, and the House of Commons.” (Clause 17) “There shall be a Session of the Parliament of Canada once at least in every year, so that twelve months shall not intervene between the last Sitting of the Parliament in one Session and its first Sitting in the next Session.” (Section 20) “Every House of Commons shall continue for five years from the Day of the Return of the Writs for choosing the House (subject to be sooner dissolved by the Governor General), and no longer.” (Section 50) “The Governor-General shall, from time to time, in the Queen's name, by instrument under the Great Seal of Canada, summon and call together the House of Commons.” (Section 38) “Either the English or the French language may be used by any person in the Debates of the House of the Parliament of Canada and of the House of the Legislation of Quebec, and both these languages are used in the respective records and Journals of those Houses; and either of those languages may be used by any person or in any Pleading or Process or in issuing from any Court of Canada established under the Constitution Act and in or from all or any of the Courts of Quebec.” (Section 133) “91.

  • Paul Kane's Wanderings of an Artist and the Rise of Transcontinental
    I.S. MacLaren Paul Kane’s Wanderings of an Artist and the Rise of Transcontinental Canadian Nationalism Wanderings of an Artist among the Indians of North America (1859) helped make Paul Kane (181-71) a native Canadian, “a founding father of Canadian art” (Royal), and a figure of Canadian nationalism. The solitary wanderer began and ended his travels in Toronto. This was his hometown after immigration from Ireland in about 1819, and again after his travels to upper Lake Huron and Wisconsin in 1845 and to Vancouver Island in 1846-48. It was in Toronto that what were thought to be his most accomplished works came into public possession in 1912, in the collections of the Royal Ontario Museum. They taught generations of southern Ontarians what Indians look like, as Katherine Hale’s romantic poem “Cun-ne-wa-bum” illustrates well. As a father of Canadian art and a hardy early Canadian traveller in a vague tradition rooted in the voyageur, Kane served Canada’s need for heroes before and after Confederation. He is not on record as ever having corrected the sobriquet of “first native artist in Canada,” bestowed on him in 1852 ([Hind], “Provincial” 6; qtd. in Harper, “Ontario” 18 and Painting 115), seven years before his book identified Little York as his “native village” ([vii]), native not being the complicated descriptor that it is in Canada today. The construction of him as a solitary wanderer and yet a symbol of an entire nascent country grew complicated. So too did the aims of his Wanderings. Was it meant to narrate one man’s effort to record

  • NATION BUILDING: GOTHIC REVIVAL HOUSES in UPPER CANADA and CANADA WEST, C.1830–1867
    NATION BUILDING: GOTHIC REVIVAL HOUSES IN UPPER CANADA AND CANADA WEST, c.1830–1867 JESSICA MACE A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN VISUAL ART AND ART HISTORY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO MARCH 2015 © JESSICA MACE, 2015 ABSTRACT The Gothic Revival is, without question, the most influential architectural movement to have ever come out of England. Its effects on houses, and colonial houses, in particular, however, have been little studied. Nation building: Gothic Revival houses in Upper Canada and Canada West, c.1830–67 examines the Gothic Revival houses built in the English colony of Upper Canada and Canada West prior to Confederation in 1867 in order to contextualize them and to give this category of housing the academic attention it merits. Using the buildings themselves as well as architectural drawings, plans, and archival photographs, this dissertation reveals and contextualizes the houses of pre–Confederation Canada within the broader scope of Western architectural history. The houses are divided into temporal and theoretical categories, examining the chronological spread of the style as well the means by which it was employed; namely, through architects and publications. Beyond formal analysis of the objects themselves, then, the influence of British and American precedents is examined from the mid–eighteenth century through to the late 1860s, as well as the dissemination of these ideas to the colony through a variety of conduits such as architects, publications and popular aesthetic theories. This study also explores the rise of the architectural practice in the colony and the resulting eventual spread of the architectural vocabulary of the Gothic style into vernacular housing.

Kane produced hundreds of sketches and created a cycle of one hundred paintings that together reveal the vitality of Aboriginal culture and are of great significance today in the study of Canada’s Aboriginal and settler cultures. 3 PAUL KANE Life & Work by Arlene Gehmacher FORMATIVE YEARS Paul Kane was born on September 3, 1810, in Mallow, County Cork, Ireland, the sixth of eight children (four boys, four girls) of Michael Kane (1776–1851) and Frances Loach (1777–1837). Kane was about ten years old when, along with his parents and several siblings, he immigrated to Canada, where they settled in York (Toronto) around 1819. Michael Kane, originally a soldier in the British army, made his living in Canada as a liquor merchant.1 LEFT: Paul Kane, Self-Portrait, c. 1843–45, oil on canvas, 58 x 62 cm, RiverBrink Art Museum, Queenston, Ontario. Owing to the extensive restoration of this painting, its attribution is currently under investigation. RIGHT: Harriet Clench, c. 1870, photographer unknown. When Paul Kane married Harriet Clench in 1853, she was an accomplished artist and a drawing and painting instructor.
