Improving Upper Canada
Negotiating Sovereignty through Taxation
Did local taxes levied by the Upper Canadian parliament from 1793 apply to Indigenous communities in the colony? Only in 1850 did colonial legislation give an answer by exempting Indigenous peoples from taxes on real and personal property and from statute labour, provided they resided on “Indian” lands. Yet Indigenous leaders had always denied that the colony’s jurisdiction extended to their communities, which they conceived of as political socie…

“Truth and Taxes”
Part of the roundtable on E. A. Heaman’s Macdonald prize-winning Tax, Order, and Good Government , this essay takes up the book’s claim to offer a social history of knowledge. It explores the central role knowledge production plays in the book to speak to current anxieties in our “post-truth” moment. It suggests that the book can be read as a neo-progressive intervention that refurbishes and updates the progressive historians of the early twentie…

As the Tsunami of Histories of Atlantic and Liberal Revolutions Wash up in Upper Canada
This article (begun in the previously published part) reviews the unusually large number of books about Upper Canada (1791–1841), the British colony that became the province of Ontario, published since 2010. Non‐national approaches, especially Atlantic world but borderlands and British imperial as well, are prevalent. In particular, Atlantic history's interest in the age of revolution has dovetailed with Ian McKay's call to adopt a liberal order …

The common sympathies of our nature
The campaign against imprisonment for debt in Upper Canada, at its peak in the 1820s and 1830s, gave new prominence to public expressions of emotion as part of a process of moral reflection. The feelings of ordinary colonists became more politically salient, as did friendship as a metaphor for the bonds created by such human sensibility. Legal reformers condemned imprisonment for debt for distorting moral reasoning and thus disrupting reciprocal …
The Capacity To Judge
By the mid-nineteenth-century, 'public opinion' emerged as a new form of authority in Upper Canada. Contemporaries came to believe that the best answer to common questions arose from deliberation among private individuals. Older conceptions of government, sociability and the relationship between knowledge and power were jettisoned for a new image of Upper Canada as a deliberative democracy. The Capacity to Judge asks what made widespread public d…
Publius of the North
This paper argues that between 1848 and 1854, a significant and articulate minority of conservatives in Upper Canada advocated constitutional changes modelled on American Federalist principles and the American constitution of 1787. Conservatives developed a critique of Canada's imitation of British parliamentary government as both too democratic and too tyrannical. It destroyed the independence of the appointed governor and Legislative Council an…
