Download or read book The First Century of Methodism in Canada, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) written by J. E. Sanderson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Century of Methodism in Canada, Vol. 2 This Volume continues the record of Methodist doings in Canada from 1840 to the grand Union of 1883. In the closing chapters will be found welcome contributions from the pens of the Rev. Robert Cade, D. D., the Rev. James M. Simpson, and the late Rev. George Webber, regarding their several Churches. All the Uniting Churches are also represented in our comprehensive portrait gallery, according to their numbers at the time of Union. The ministers are placed according to the date of their entrance. The women as well as the men who were known in active church work before the close of this volume have here at least a representation. This was done under the oversight of seven wise men, and their desire to be liberal taxed the generosity of the Publishers to the utmost limit - "a hundred and fifty and three" - though they would have gladly included hundreds more, had it been possible. We trust these will be accepted simply as representatives of "the great multitude which no man can number." In Volume I. a few corrections are necessary: The engraving, "Grave of Paul and Barbara Heck," was intended to face page 46, where the place of burial - Augusta - is correctly stated. On page 63, 3rd line, read Madden; page 119, last line, James should be Thomas; page 216, near the bottom - "On December 18th a meeting was held at Saltfleet attended by David Culp," etc. For careful reading of Ms. the Author is very specially indebted to the Rev. Geo. H. Cornish, L.L.D. With thanks to God for life and health to finish this work, it is now committed to the members and friends of the Methodist Church, as an appreciation of the character and work of the Church, and an earnest effort to tell to our own and succeeding generations something of what the Lord has done.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Convinced that rights are inalienable and that legitimate government requires the consent of the governed, the Fathers of Confederation - whether liberal or conservative - looked to the European enlightenment and John Locke. Janet Ajzenstat analyzes the legislative debates in the colonial parliaments and the Constitution Act (1867) in a provocative reinterpretation of Canadian political history from 1864 to 1873. Ajzenstat contends that the debt to Locke is most evident in the debates on the making of Canada's Parliament: though the anti-confederates maintained that the existing provincial parliaments offered superior protection for individual rights, the confederates insisted that the union's general legislature, the Parliament of Canada, would prove equal to the task and that the promise of "life and liberty" would bring the scattered populations of British North America together as a free nation.

Download or read book Federalism in Canada written by Thomas O. Hueglin and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Federalism in Canada tells the turbulent story of shared sovereignty and divided governance from Confederation to the present time. It does so with three main objectives in mind. The first objective is to convince readers that federalism is the primary animating force in Canadian politics, and that it is therefore worth engaging with its complex nature and dynamic. The second objective is to bring into closer focus the contested concepts about the meaning and operation of federalism that all along have been at the root of the divide between English Canada and Quebec in particular. The third objective is to give recognition to the trajectory of Canada's Indigenous peoples in the context of Canadian federalism, from years of abusive neglect to belated efforts of inclusion. The book focuses on the constitution with its ambiguous allocation of divided powers, the pivotal role of the courts in balancing these powers, and the political leaders whose interactions oscillate between intergovernmental conflict and cooperation. This focus on executive leadership and judicial supervision is framed by considerations of Canada's regionalized political economy and cultural diversity, giving students an interesting and nuanced view of federalism in Canada."--

Download or read book Lion, the Eagle, and Upper Canada written by Elizabeth Jane Errington and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1987-10-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Errington argues that in order to appreciate the evolution of Upper Canadian beliefs, particularly the development of political ideology, it is necessary to understand the various and changing perceptions of the United States and of Great Britain held by different groups of colonial leaders. Colonial ideology inevitably evolved in response to changing domestic circumstances and to the colonists' knowledge of altering world affairs. It is clear, however, that from the arrival of the first loyalists in 1748 to the passage of the Naturalization Bill in 1828, the attitudes and beliefs of the Upper Canadian elite reflect the fact that the colony was a British- American community. Errington reveals that Upper Canada was never as anti-American as popular lore suggests, even in the midst of the War of 1812. By the mid 1820s, largely due to their conflicting views of Great Britain and the United States, Upper Canadians were irrevocably divided. The Tory administration argued that only by decreasing the influence of the United States, enforcing a conservative British mould on colonial society, and maintaining strong ties with the Empire could Upper Canada hope to survive. The forces of reform, on the other hand, asserted that Upper Canada was not and could not become a re-creation of Great Britain and that to deny its position in North America could only lead to internal dissent and eventual amalgamation with the United States. Errington's description of these early attempts to establish a unique Upper Canadian identity reveals the historical background of a dilemma which has yet to be resolved.

Book excerpt: #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER Winner of the 2018 JW Dafoe Book Prize Longlisted for British Columbia's National Award for Canadian Non-Fiction 2018 Runner-up for the 2018 Templer Medal Book Prize Finalist for the 2018 Ottawa Book Awards A bold new telling of the defining battle of the Great War, and how it came to signify and solidify Canada’s national identity Why does Vimy matter? How did a four-day battle at the midpoint of the Great War, a clash that had little strategic impact on the larger Allied war effort, become elevated to a national symbol of Canadian identity? Tim Cook, Canada’s foremost military historian and a Charles Taylor Prize winner, examines the Battle of Vimy Ridge and the way the memory of it has evolved over 100 years. The operation that began April 9, 1917, was the first time the four divisions of the Canadian Corps fought together. More than 10,000 Canadian soldiers were killed or injured over four days—twice the casualty rate of the Dieppe Raid in August 1942. The Corps’ victory solidified its reputation among allies and opponents as an elite fighting force. In the wars’ aftermath, Vimy was chosen as the site for the country’s strikingly beautiful monument to mark Canadian sacrifice and service. Over time, the legend of Vimy took on new meaning, with some calling it the “birth of the nation.” The remarkable story of Vimy is a layered skein of facts, myths, wishful thinking, and conflicting narratives. Award-winning writer Tim Cook explores why the battle continues to resonate with Canadians a century later. He has uncovered fresh material and photographs from official archives and private collections across Canada and from around the world. On the 100th anniversary of the event, and as Canada celebrates 150 years as a country, Vimy is a fitting tribute to those who fought the country’s defining battle. It is also a stirring account of Canadian identity and memory, told by a masterful storyteller.

Download or read book Canada in the Twentieth Century (Classic Reprint) written by A. G. Bradley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canada in the Twentieth Century Ireland and India, we all know, have seduced more than one too confident impressionist into deplorable indiscretions. With these in his mind a witty and well-known statesman now living thus opened his maiden speech on his first visit to India: I have been eight days in the country, just one day too long to write a book. In some ways the Colonies are as trappy to the inquiring stranger as these more notably inscrutable countries. One sees the reasons which are natural enough, but even if otherwise, the surprising things one sometimes read about Canada would sufficiently proclaim the perils of the impressionist - though these are as nothing to the perils of some of their readers, whose future may sometimes depend on opinions the value of which they have no means of estimating. Happily Canada will justify a good deal of the cheery optimism that is inevitable to an Old Country holiday maker on the prairie in autumn. Nor does it matter a bit that he was just as cheerful ten and fifteen years ago, when things really looked rather blue. For I do not believe it is yet fully realised in this country how great is the leap forward in every particular that Canada has made in the last five years, and how immeasurably her horizon has broadened.
