Canada's Founding Debates
Canada's Founding Debates is about Confederation - about the process that brought together six out of the seven territories of British North America in the years 1864-73 to form a country called Canada. It presents excerpts from the debates on Confederation in all of the colonial parliaments from Newfoundland to British Columbia and in the constituent assembly of the Red River Colony. The voices of the powerful and those of lesser note mingle in …
Getting it Wrong: How Canadians Forgot Their Past and Imperilled Confederation
This provocative book explains how divergent views of Canada’s past have sown dissension between Québécois and other Canadians, disclosing a lost middle ground between the Canadian nationalist and Québec nationalist visions of Canadian history.
Provincial Equality, Special Status and the Compact Theory of Canadian Confederation
Historically, Canadian Confederation was both a compact of equal provinces and a compact of founding peoples, which established the province of Quebec in order to conserve French-Canadian culture in its historic homeland. This observation suggests a solution to the apparent conflict between the principle of provincial equality and the demand for special status for Quebec. The appearance of conflict arises from the habit of equating constitutional…

The Nature and Scope of Provincial Autonomy: Oliver Mowat, the Quebec Resolutions and the Construction of theBritish North America Act
In the 1930s, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council was criticized for allegedly perverting the meaning of theBritish North America Actand the intentions of its framers. This notion persists, partly because its historiographical basis—the idea that the Fathers of Confederation envisaged a dominant federal government—remains substantially intact. To the Ontario Reformers, however, the Confederation agreement had not established federal domin…
From Constitutionalism to Legalism: Trial by Jury, Responsible Government, and the Rule of Law in the Canadian Political Culture
The influence on the Canadian political culture of two conflicting tendencies in common-law constitutional thought, constitutionalism and legalism , merits attention. By constitutionalism, I mean a particular response to the apprehended infringement of civil rights and liberties by the state: an appeal to standards of state conduct that are supposedly sanctified by long usage, implied contract, or both. By legalism, I mean the justification of al…
Mr Attorney: The Attorney General for Ontario in Court, Cabinet, and Legislature 1791–1899
In early Upper Canada the attorney general was little more than a skilled functionary -- the Crown's chief legal counsel; by the mid-19th century he had become a leading member of cabinet and generally premier. Mr Attorney is the story of this transformation and many other aspects of the attorney general's role in 19th-century Ontario.
The Rising in Western Upper Canada, 1837-8: The Duncombe Revolt and After
William Lyon Mackenzie as Mayor of Toronto
IT IS HARD TO GET CLOSE to a man of such emphatic personality and decided political views as William Lyon Mackenzie and still be indifferent to him attraction or repulsion (perhaps both) must ensue. Mackenzie's life and works, therefore, form a subject loaded with emotional obstacles to its objective treatment, and a definitive estimate of his character and achievement is still lacking? Modem scholars have concentrated on the question of how seri…
