Nathan Hatton Building the Burlington Bay Canal The Staples Thesis and Harbour Development in Upper Canada, 1823-1854. This article examines the construction of the Burlington Bay Canal, Upper Canada’s first government-financed internal improvement. Designed in 1824 to create an entrance to a natural harbour at the head of Lake Ontario, the canal was an engineering, financial and political fiasco. Using a staples thesis approach, this study explores the reasons for the canal’s problem. Résumé.

It argues that the THS drew on the discourses of earlier Humane Societies and SPCAs in Britain and the United States and concludes that, like other animal welfare organizations, the THS saw the moral reform of the working classes as one of its primary duties. To do this, the Humane Society is linked to the larger moral and social reform movement that permeated the city in the late-nineteenth century. Dominated by members of Toronto’s middle class, the THS inordinately targeted workers in its efforts to spread humane sentiments throughout the city. FR: Cet article examine l’histoire de la Toronto Humane Society (THS -- société pour la protection des animaux) de 1887 à 1892. Cette société s’est inspirée des discours d’autres sociétés protectrices des animaux fondées en Grande-Bretagne et aux États-Unis. Comme ces autres organisations, La THS considérait que la réforme morale de la classe ouvrière était un de ses principaux devoirs. Pour arriver à cette conclusion, nous étudions la THS dans le contexte plus large des idées de réforme morale et sociale qui étaient si largement répandues à Toronto vers la fin du 19e siècle. Dominée par la bourgeoisie torontoise, la THS s’adressait surtout aux ouvriers dans ses tentatives pour répandre des sentiments humains dans la ville. Poetic Justice: Corruption in Lambton County, Canada West, 1854-1858. EN: Beginning in 1855 Lambton County merchant, postmaster, poet, Orangeman and moderate conservative Robert McBride (1811-1895) saw himself as a victim of a conspiracy launched by scheming Reform-minded politicians and their cronies. In books of poetry, particularly his hefty Poems Sentimental & Satirical On Many Subjects Connected with Canada, and drawing on his own experiences, he outlined the malfeasance of the judiciary, the ‘land jobbing’ class, and others associated with the Reform movement in Canada West who, he claimed, were undermining and corrupting the British foundations of the province. McBride’s poetry and other contemporary documentation about his legal travails help us understand the complex connections that existed among colonial administrators at the local level in Canada West in the 1850s. FR: A partir de 1855, Robert McBride (1811-1895), commerçant et receveur des postes dans le comté de Lambton, poète, Orangiste, et conservateur modéré, s’est considéré comme victime d’une conspiration organisée par des politiciens réformateurs intrigants et leurs amis. Dans ses livres de poésie, particulièrement ses Poems Sentimental & Satirical On Many Subjects Connected with Canada, se basant sur son expérience personnelle, il a décrit les agissements coupables des juges, de la classe des spéculateurs terriens, et autres personnes liées au mouvement réformiste du Haut-Canada, qui, d’après lui, sapaient et corrompaient les bases britanniques de la province. Les poèmes de McBride, et autres documents concernant ses difficultés légales, nous aident à comprendre les liens compliqués qui existaient parmi les administrateurs coloniaux au niveau local dans le Haut-Canada des années 1850. Spittoon Philosophers or Radical Revolutionaries? The Canadian Administration of the Industrial Workers of the World, 1932-35. Michel S. Beaulieu. EN: Historians contend that the heyday of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW or Wobblies) in the U.S. and Canada ended when it was suppressed by the authorities in the First World War because of the “foreigners” within its ranks. However, the IWW went underground and re- emerged briefly in the late 1920s and 1930s as a force in lumber and mining unions in both countries. Little is known about its organization during this period, particularly the operations of the Canadian Administration established in 1932. This article explores the activities of Canadian Wobblies and their attempts to form a Canadian Administration between 1931 and 1935 in Port Arthur, Ontario. It establishes that the Canadian leadership increasingly separated itself from an ineffectual American leadership and attempted to establish uniquely “Canadian” polices. FR: On suppose généralement que les Industrial Workers of the World (IWW ou Wobblies) ont été le plus influents aux États-Unis et au Canada avant la Première Guerre mondiale, durant laquelle les autorités les ont supprimés, craignant la présence des « étrangers » parmi leurs membres. En réalité, entré dans la clandestinité, l’IWW a réémergé brièvement vers la fin des années 1920 et pendant les années 1930, quand il a exercé une influence réelle dans les syndicats forestiers et miniers des deux pays. On connaît mal leur organisation à cette époque-là, particulièrement les opérations de l’Administration canadienne établie en 1932. Cet article examine les activités des Wobblies canadiens et leurs tentatives pour former une Administration canadienne entre 1931 et 1935 à Port Arthur (Ontario). Nous montrons que les chefs canadiens se sont distancés de plus en plus d’une direction américaine inefficace, et ont essayé d’établir des politiques spécifiquement canadiennes. “A sparkling example of what aggressiveness, imagination, and skill can accomplish”: The Rise of Dubreuil Brothers Limited, 1948-1973. EN: This article argues that the brutal aftermath of the catastrophic Mississagi forest fire in 1948 enabled Dubreuil Brothers Limited (DBL), formerly of Quebec, to grow and develop while salvaging timber for the Crown. The Ontario government, so concerned with getting the project concluded, essentially tolerated sub-par performances from contractors such as DBL for the sake of expediency. The salvage shaped DBL’s formative years, but its success after 1952 was largely due to its drive and resolve. Part environmental history and part business history, the rise of Dubreuil Brothers Limited tells the distinctive story of a company that defied the stereotypical views of French-Canadian business. It may have been forged by fire but it remained viable through entrepreneurial spirit and ingenuity. FR: Dans cet article nous soutenons que l’incendie catastrophique qui a ravagé la forêt de Mississagi en 1948 a permis à Dubreuil Brother Limitée (DBL), d’origine québécoise, de croître et de se développer, en récupérant du bois pour la Couronne. Le gouvernement de l’Ontario, désireux surtout de voir achever le projet, pour ne plus avoir à s’en occuper, a toléré le travail médiocre ou inadéquat d’entrepreneurs comme DBL. Si ce projet de sauvetage a marqué la période formative de la compagnie, sa réussite après 1952 est attribuable à son dynamisme et sa détermination. À la fois histoire environnementale et histoire des affaires, la montée de Dubreuil Brothers Ltée est l’histoire distinctive d’une compagnie qui ne se conforme pas du tout au stéréotype de l’entreprise canadienne-française. Formée par le feu, elle a prospéré grâce à son esprit d’entreprise et à son ingéniosité. Books by Past Undergraduate and Graduate Students.
