George-Etienne Cartier
Author: Brian YoungPublisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 0773560785
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
Through the use of new sources, this study gives prominence to Cartier's business, social, and family milieu. It examines his emergence as a corporation lawyer, company director, landlord, and railway promoter as well as his political battles with his in-laws, his disintegrating marriage, and his long liaison with the unorthodox Luce Cuvillier. A rebel and political exile in 1837, Cartier by the 1850s was a member of the militia, a government minister, and a perennial defender of British traditions. His solid conservatism brough him support and rewards from the English-speaking bourgeoisie, the Grand Trunk Railway, and the Seminary of Montreal. After confederation, Cartier's political energies lessened, and his interest turned to his country estate and to pleasures of the table, drawing room, and stable. His degenerative disease and his alienation from his working-class voters in east-end Montreal made him vulnerable to his opponents, and his life ended in political defeat and implication in the Pacific scandal. His career, Young concludes, illustrates the development of bourgeois hegemony in Montreal after 1840 and the progressive integration of institutional, political, and economic structures to preserve that power.
Glory of Ottawa
Author: Carolyn Ann YoungPublisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 9780773512276
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
In The Glory of Ottawa Carolyn Young takes the reader on an architectural tour of Canada's first parliament buildings. In the early 1860s these remarkable buildings - particularly the monumental Centre Block, which was destroyed by fire in 1916, and the magnificent polygonal library - became a tangible symbol of Canada's emerging nationhood and one of the most progressive and eclectic examples of the British secular Gothic Revival style.
The Honourable John Norquay
Author: Gerald FriesenPublisher: Univ. of Manitoba Press
ISBN: 1772840599
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 669
Book Description
The life and times of the Premier from Red River John Norquay, orphan and prodigy, was a leader among the Scots Cree peoples of western Canada. Born in the Red River Settlement, he farmed, hunted, traded, and taught school before becoming a legislator, cabinet minister, and, from 1878 to 1887, premier of Manitoba. Once described as Louis Riel’s alter ego, he skirmished with prime minister John A. Macdonald, clashed with railway baron George Stephen, and endured racist taunts while championing the interests of the Prairie West in battles with investment bankers, Ottawa politicians, and the CPR. His contributions to the development of Canada’s federal system and his dealings with issues of race and racism deserve attention today. Recounted here by Canadian historian Gerald Friesen, Norquay’s life story ignites contemporary conversations around the nature of empire and Canada’s own imperial past. Drawing extensively on recently opened letters and financial papers that offer new insights into his business, family, and political life, Friesen reveals Norquay to be a thoughtful statesman and generous patriarch. This masterful biography of the Premier from Red River sheds welcome light on a neglected historical figure and a tumultuous time for Canada and Manitoba.

Category : Prime ministers
Languages : en
Pages : 267
Book Description
Agnes Macdonald's private papers are used for the detailed study of Canada's "first lady," who became Sir John A. Macdonald's second wife on the eve of Confederation. The author's well-researched telling of Agnes's story paints a picture of a politically astute, naturally adventurous woman who had to change her style due to her position in the public eye, but who nevertheless retained her own opinions and lived her life with courage and integrity.
