In studies of the Rideau Canal construction project, Labour historians have focused on the suffering of the canal workers, and have posited that the military deployed troops to suppress labour unrest and were indifferent to the suffering of the workers. This book provides a different perspective through placing the canal project within its natural and physiccal environments, and through taking into account cultural factors in examining the labour as it evolved during the construction of the canal. Within that broader framework, a totally different view emerges with respect to the causes of the suffering experienced by the canal workers, and the role of the military on the canal project. Moreover, the paternalism of Lt. Col. John By is revealed in his efforts to promote the physical, material, and moral well-being of the canal workers. Lastly, the phenomenon of military paternalism is examined further within a Marxist context, and in terms of Anglican toryism and and Lockean liberalism.

This Colossal Project presents an absorbing epic on the building of the fourth Welland Canal, which connects Lake Ontario and Lake Erie and allows ships to bypass Niagara Falls. An immense undertaking, the canal is a vital part of North America’s infrastructure and still functions as an essential part of the St Lawrence Seaway. Emphasizing the role that vivid personalities – including engineers John Laing Weller and Alex Grant as well as contractors and labourers – played in the construction of the canal, Roberta Styran and Robert Taylor use archival sources, government documents, newspapers, maps, and original plans to describe a saga of technological, financial, geographical, and social obstacles met and overcome in an accomplishment akin to the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway. A story of Canadian skill, courage, vision, and hardship, This Colossal Project details the twenty-year excavation of the giant channel and the creation of huge concrete locks amidst war, the Great Depression, political change, and labour unrest. Building on the work presented in Styran and Taylor’s This Great National Object, which told the story of the first three Welland canals built in the nineteenth century, This Colossal Project chronicles an impressive milestone in the history of Canadian technological achievement and nation building.

Analyzes the nineteenth century canal age in the Niagara-Great Lakes borderland region as a transnational phenomenon. In Overcoming Niagara Janet Dorothy Larkin analyzes the canal age from the perspective of the Niagara–Great Lakes borderland between 1792 and 1837. She shows what drove the transportation revolution, not the conventional story of westward expansion and the international/metropolitan rivalry between Great Britain and the United States, but a dynamic connection, cooperation, and healthy competition in a transnational-borderland region. Larkin focuses on North America’s three most vital waterways—the Erie, Oswego, and Welland Canals. Canadian and American transportation leaders and promoters mutually sought to overcome the natural and artificial barriers presented by Niagara Falls by building an integrated, interconnected canal system, thus strengthening the borderland economy and propelling westward expansion, market development, and the Niagara tourist industry. On the heels of the Erie Canal's bicentennial in 2017, Overcoming Niagara explores the transnational nature of the canal age within the Niagara–Great Lakes borderland, and its impact on the commercial and cultural landscape of this porous region. Janet Dorothy Larkin has taught history at several colleges and universities and specializes in early nineteenth-century American history with a focus on the United States–Canada borderland.

Entre 1759 et 1871, le Québec est occupé militairement par l’Angleterre. Invasion britannique. Conquête. Des évènements qui vont sceller pour longtemps le sort des habitants francophones et autochtones de la Nouvelle-France. L’Amérique francophone entre dans une période de grande noirceur. Convaincus par l’idée d’une prétendue supériorité des anglo-saxons sur tous les autres peuples de la planète, les Anglais cherchent à détruire l’héritage de la Nouvelle-France et à assimiler par la force la population locale. Pour les Amérindiens, ce sera le commencement d’un immense génocide. Pour les colons francophones, ce sera le début d’une longue résistance à l’impérialisme britannique. Cet ouvrage remet en question l’idée défendue par les historiens anglophones que l’occupation coloniale de la Nouvelle-France par les Anglais a constitué un progrès pour ses habitants. Ce livre, issu de travaux de recherche d’une thèse menée par l’auteur, met en lumière les faces cachées d’une histoire mouvementée qui explique les spécificités du Québec d’aujourd’hui. * * * Ludovic MARIN est un chercheur, un investisseur et un entrepreneur français.

L’Amérique du Nord domine le monde. Comment l’expliquer ? Pour en comprendre les raisons, il convient de se plonger dans la géopolitique des États-Unis, de l’Angleterre et du Canada entre 1763 et 1867. C’est à cette période que la civilisation anglo-saxonne a produit les géants actuels en exploitant les opportunités offertes par l’espace nord-américain (mise en valeur du golfe Saint-Laurent, création du canal Érié et Lachine…). * * * Ludovic MARIN est un chercheur, un investisseur et un entrepreneur français.

Peu de livres narrent l’implication du Québec dans les guerres : encore moins sont ceux qui cherchent à en faire comprendre les mécanismes spécifiques. Le but de cet ouvrage est de proposer une analyse historique des relations entre le Québec et la guerre depuis l’époque de la Nouvelle-France jusqu’au début du XXIesiècle. Aucun livre n’a jusqu’à présent proposé une telle approche. Il s’agit de donner au lecteur les clés de lecture pour comprendre les grandes permanences de l’histoire permettant de mieux saisir la spécificité de la Belle Province ; de rendre intelligible la position particulière des Québécois face aux conflits armés ; de dévoiler, sans jugement de valeur, les enjeux et intérêts des États en Amérique du Nord face au Québec. Le livre est structuré en 25 chapitres organisés selon un plan chrono-thématique. L’ouvrage s’attache à éclairer le lecteur sur tous les conflits dans lesquels le Québec a été impliqué, y compris ceux très éloignés de l’Amérique du Nord. Sont notamment étudiées : les guerres à l’époque de la Nouvelle-France, la révolte du chef Pontiac, la guerre d’indépendance américaine, la guerre franco-britannique à partir de 1793, la guerre de 1812, la révolte des Patriotes et la déclaration d’indépendance du Bas-Canada, la guerre de Sécession, la guerre de 1870, la révolte des Métis, la guerre des Boers, la Première Guerre mondiale, la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la guerre froide, la guerre d’Indochine, la guerre de Corée, la guerre du Golf ou encore la guerre contre le terrorisme. D’abondantes sources sont fournies tout au long des chapitres à l’attention de ceux qui auraient le souhait d’approfondir davantage les explications données. Cet ouvrage de référence s’adresse à ceux qui sont amenés à manier des données historiques, géographiques, économiques ou encore géopolitiques pour analyser les relations internationales : étudiants, chercheurs, enseignants, diplomates et public intéressé par le décryptage de l’évolution de l’Amérique du Nord. * * * Ludovic MARIN est un chercheur, un investisseur et un entrepreneur français.

Britain's famous overseas civil services - the Colonial Administrative Service, the Indian Civil Service and the Sudan Political Service - no longer exist as a major and sought-after career for Britain's graduates. In this detailed study the history of each service is presented within the framework of the need to administer an expanding empire. Close attention is paid to the methods of recruitment and training and to the socio-educational background of the overseas administrators as well as to the nature of their work. The prestigious incumbents of Government House are revealingly examined. The impact of decolonisation on overseas officials and the kinds of 'second careers' which they took up are documented. This authoritative narrative history is enlivened by recourse to Service lore and anecdotes.

What role does history play in contemporary society? Has the frenetic pace of today's world led people to lose contact with the past? A high-profile team of researchers from across Canada sought to answer these questions by launching an ambitious investigation into how Canadians engage with history in their everyday lives. The results of their survey form the basis of this eye-opening book. Canadians and Their Pasts reports on the findings of interviews with 3,419 Canadians from a variety of cultural and linguistic communities. Along with yielding rich qualitative data, the surveys generated revealing quantitative data that allows for comparisons based on gender, ethnicity, migration histories, region, age, income, and educational background. The book also brings Canada into international conversation with similar studies undertaken earlier in the United States, Australia, and Europe. Canadians and Their Pasts confirms that, for most Canadians, the past is not dead. Rather, it reveals that our histories continue to shape the present in many powerful ways.
