The document summarizes the Confederation Conferences that took place in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island in 1864 and Quebec City later that year. These conferences brought together representatives from the British North American colonies to discuss the idea of a larger Canadian union. The Charlottetown conference did not result in an agreement but paved the way for the Quebec conference where 72 resolutions outlining the terms of Confederation were drafted. These resolutions still required approval from each colony's government. The document then outlines activities for students to take on roles in different colonies and vote on whether to join Confederation or not, comparing their decisions to history.

#1 lead up to confederation
The document summarizes the key causes that led to Canadian confederation in 1867. These included tensions between French and English communities over representation, economic pressures from the repeal of the Corn Laws and loss of trade with the US, and a desire for self-governance amid fears of annexation by the US. Key figures like Macdonald, Cartier and Brown formed a coalition to address these issues and negotiated confederation through conferences in Charlottetown and Quebec City. The British North America Act established Canada as a self-governing federation within the British Empire on July 1, 1867.
What was Canadian Confederation?
The document discusses the events, people, and significance of Canadian Confederation. It describes the Charlottetown, Quebec, and London conferences that led to Confederation in 1867. Key figures involved included Canadians, Maritimers, British politicians like Lord John Russell, and Indigenous leaders like Big Bear and Poundmaker. Confederation was driven by internal political stalemates and economic challenges as well as external threats from the United States. It resulted in the British North America Act which created a federal system of government and continued Canada's relationship with Britain. Confederation was an ongoing process that helped shape Canada's government and identity.
The Canadian Confederation
The document summarizes the key events and figures leading up to Canadian Confederation in 1867. It describes the three main conferences that took place - the Charlottetown Conference of 1864 which discussed a maritime union, the Quebec Conference later that year which focused on creating a new nation, and the London Conference of 1866-1867 where the British North America Act was signed, uniting the colonies into the Dominion of Canada. It also outlines some of the economic, social, and political causes for Confederation, including defense from outside threats, loss of trade with Britain, and tensions between French and English communities. Sir John A. Macdonald became Canada's first Prime Minister after Confederation was achieved on July 1, 1867.
Devolution
The United Kingdom is made up of four countries: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. It has a long history and was formed through the political union of these countries over centuries. In recent decades, there has been a rise in national identities and a push for more autonomy, with Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland now having their own devolved governments. However, the future unity of the UK remains uncertain as support for independence continues to grow in some areas.
Confederation
1) Canada was formed in 1867 through the Confederation of four British colonies - Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
2) The colonies were facing political, economic and military issues that led them to consider joining together as one country.
3) A series of conferences were held between 1864-1867 where representatives from the colonies discussed and agreed to the terms of Confederation, culminating in the British North America Act and the establishment of Canada on July 1, 1867.
Devolution
Devolution involves transferring power from central government to regional entities like Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Pressure from European integration and regional nationalism led to devolution for Scotland and Wales through 1998 acts, granting them legislative assemblies. Northern Ireland gained a power-sharing assembly and government through the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, ending decades of conflict. While devolution has enabled some policy divergence, its impact on governance has been limited, and the lack of an elected assembly for England has complicated the system. Overall, devolution remains popular in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Canada
Canada has 10 provinces that are divided into different regions and equivalent to U.S. states. Canada has a parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy form of government, with Queen Elizabeth II as the official head of state. Some famous Canadians include Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the telephone, Wayne Gretzky the legendary hockey player, and author Lucy Maud Montgomery. National symbols of Canada include the Canadian flag, coat of arms, maple leaf, and beaver.
Confederation Achieved
Before 1867, the British North American colonies were largely separate entities, with citizens owing allegiance to Britain. As threats emerged from the United States, the colonies began discussing confederating to gain strength in numbers and ensure their collective security and prosperity. However, the colonies would only agree to confederation if they received favorable terms that respected their autonomy. A series of conferences were held where representatives debated self-governance and the appropriate balance of power between a central government and the provinces.

Uniting colonies for confederation
The document discusses the unification of the British colonies in Canada and the Maritime provinces in the 1800s. Politicians from Canada East and West wanted to unite all the British North American colonies, but the Atlantic colonies were concerned about being too far away and having little influence. In 1864, the Charlottetown Conference was initially planned for the Maritime colonies to discuss union among themselves, but John A. Macdonald and other pro-confederation politicians from Canada attended to convince them of the benefits of joining a larger Canadian confederation instead.
Country analysis. Canada
Canada was originally a French colony called New France but was lost to Britain in the Seven Years' War. It was formed in 1867 from four British colonies and became a self-governing dominion of Britain. Canada borders the US and has a population of over 30 million. Its capital is Ottawa and its official languages are English and French. Key industries include transportation equipment, chemicals, minerals and food products.
Social studiesstaar review_comprehensive_website
The document provides information about key eras in American history from exploration through the ratification of the Constitution. It includes timelines, maps, and descriptions of events and principles of government. The document is a review for a standardized test on American history.
Foundations Of Government
The document summarizes different forms of government and decision making. It discusses aboriginal consensus-based decision making passed down through oral tradition. It also describes Canada's parliamentary democracy rooted in the British tradition. The Canadian constitution established in 1867 was amended in 1982 to include the division of powers, charter of rights and freedoms, and amending formula. Under the federal system, provinces have autonomy while also pooling resources through the central government, sharing responsibilities between the two levels.
Confederation
There were both external and internal pressures for the British colonies in North America to unite in the 1860s. Externally, Britain wanted to reduce costs and feared American invasion, while the colonies faced threats like Fenian raids. Internally, the colonies wanted to expand westward and ensure control over more territory. This led representatives from the Maritime colonies and Canada to hold conferences in Charlottetown and Quebec City in 1864, establishing the basis for confederation with a federal government and provincial powers. After further negotiations in London, the British North America Act of 1867 was passed, uniting the colonies of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick into the new Dominion of Canada with a written constitution.
Canada’s international business environment (1)
Canada has a diverse culture with influences from French and English settlers. It has a parliamentary democracy with the Queen as head of state and the Prime Minister as head of government. The economy is dominated by the services sector, especially telecommunications, tourism, and aerospace, and relies heavily on trade with the US. Natural resources and exports of oil, gas, minerals and agricultural products are also important.
The West Indian Federation
The document discusses the history of integration efforts among Caribbean nations, including the formation and dissolution of the West Indies Federation between 1958-1962. It formed with ten territories as members but faced disputes over taxation, financing, and freedom of movement that weakened it. A referendum in Jamaica supported withdrawing, and the Federation dissolved four years after forming due to lack of economic and political unity among members. Subsequent independence movements emerged for individual territories.

1st year lecture 2016 british institutions
This is the second lecture in British civilization. It presents the division of powers and political organization in the UK. A section is devoted to Monarchy, its role and its power.
Civil War Part 2
The English Civil War took place from 1642 to 1649 and pitted supporters of King Charles I against the supporters of Parliament known as the Roundheads. Key battles included the Battle of Marston Moor in 1644 and the Battle of Naseby in 1645, where the more modern and disciplined New Model Army led by Oliver Cromwell defeated the Royalist forces. This led to King Charles I fleeing to Scotland and eventually being sold to Parliament.
Proclamation and treaty
The Royal Proclamation of 1763 and the Treaty of Niagara established a nation-to-nation relationship between Indigenous peoples and the British Crown. The Proclamation recognized Aboriginal title to land and required treaties for land surrenders. It aimed to organize Britain's new North American empire while acknowledging relationships with First Nations allied with New France. The Treaty of Niagara in 1764 renewed this relationship based on the principles of peace, respect, non-interference, and binding agreements as understood in the Two-Row Wampum tradition. Both documents offer a foundation for rebuilding relationships going forward.
Civil War Battles
The document provides information about key events and individuals related to the English Civil War, including a word search puzzle containing terms like Cavalier, Roundhead, Cromwell, and Prince Rupert. It also includes a brief summary of the Battle of Edgehill in October 1642, which was the first major battle of the war and resulted in an inconclusive outcome.
Charles I To Upload
Charles I faced growing distrust from Parliament due to religious differences. He needed money from Parliament to fund wars but took unpopular actions like forced loans, imprisonment without cause, and quartering of soldiers. This led to conflicts, including with Scotland over a new Anglican prayer book. It resulted in an English Civil War between Royalists and Parliamentarians led by Oliver Cromwell, who defeated Charles I. The Rump Parliament then condemned Charles to death for treason, declaring England a Commonwealth under Cromwell's rule.
English Civil War Project - Heroes or Villains?
The English Civil War document summarizes key events and figures in the war between the Parliamentarians and the Royalists from 1642-1651. It outlines the philosophies of thinkers like Hobbes, Bacon, Locke and Descartes on divine right of kings vs. individual rights. Major figures discussed include King Charles I, who believed in the divine right of kings, and Oliver Cromwell, who led the New Model Army to defeat the Royalists and establish a republic. The document also briefly mentions the restoration of the monarchy under Charles II and James II, and the ascension of William and Mary after the Glorious Revolution of 1688 which helped establish democracy.
Execution of charles_1
Charles I was the King of England who was executed in 1649 after being accused of murder, tyranny, and treason during the English Civil Wars. To determine if he would have been executed in 2012, one must understand who Charles I was, why he was executed in 1649, and whether the factors that led to his execution would still apply today. Key considerations include the structure of government, divisions of power between the monarch and parliament, and popular opinion regarding executive authority and people's rights.
Charles i decision_making_game
The document provides background information on King Charles I of England and poses a series of hypothetical decisions he could have made between 1625-1642 to potentially avoid the English Civil War. It summarizes key decisions Charles actually made, such as marrying a Catholic French princess, supporting his advisor Buckingham despite opposition, raising taxes without Parliament's consent, and attempting to arrest five MPs from Parliament, which escalated tensions and helped spark the Civil War in 1642. The purpose is to have the reader consider alternative choices Charles could have made that may have led to a more positive outcome.
Oliver Cromwell and British History
Oliver Cromwell was an English military and political leader who ordered the execution of King Charles I, refused the crown of England when it was offered to him, and was instead elected as Lord Protector, the head of state of the Commonwealth of England, Scotland, and Ireland. As Lord Protector, Cromwell published new laws and portraits of himself while strongly disliking Catholics and acting as the de facto head of state instead of taking the title of King.
Trial and execution of Charles 1
The document provides arguments both for and against keeping Charles I alive after the English Civil War. Those for keeping him alive argue that it was illegal to put the king on trial for treason against himself as he was the ruler. However, those against keeping him alive note that Charles secretly tried to raise a Scottish army again after defeat, showing he could not be trusted. Witnesses provided evidence that Charles started the war and mistreated prisoners. He was ultimately found guilty of tyranny, treason, and murder by the court and executed by beheading on January 30th, 1649.
James I, Charles I and the Commonwealth
- James I became king of England in 1603 after Queen Elizabeth I died, uniting Scotland and England under one ruler. However, his belief in the divine right of kings led to conflicts with Parliament over taxes and religious freedom.
- His son, Charles I, faced further problems during his reign from 1625-1649 due to choosing a Catholic wife and making changes to the Church of England that angered Protestants and Puritans. This led to a civil war between royalists and Parliamentarians.
- Oliver Cromwell emerged as the leader of the Parliamentarian army and had Charles I executed in 1649. He then established a military dictatorship as Lord Protector until his death in 1658, after
Lesson 9 red river wrap up
The document summarizes the causes of the Red River Rebellion led by Louis Riel and the Métis people in 1869-70. It discusses the threats to the Métis way of life from declining buffalo and failed crops, influx of settlers from Ontario, and the sale of Rupert's Land without consultation. Riel formed a provisional government to negotiate with Canada and protect Métis rights, but execution of prisoner Thomas Scott inflamed anti-Métis sentiments and led to Riel's exile despite concessions in the Manitoba Act.

Oliver cromwell's England
Cromwell wanted England to be a Puritan nation where everyone followed a strict moral code based on his interpretation of the Bible. He shut down theaters and inns, banned popular entertainments like bear-baiting and maypole dancing, and abolished Christmas. Strict rules were imposed regarding what activities could be done on Sundays, how people should dress, and excessive swearing was fined. However, Cromwell himself did not always follow the strict rules and enjoyed some entertainments. The country was divided into districts governed by Cromwell's military leaders to enforce his laws.
Douglas treaties
The document discusses the Douglas Treaties signed between 1850-1854 on Vancouver Island. It summarizes that the treaties negotiated the surrender of First Nations lands in exchange for goods, though Indigenous understandings supported ideas of co-existence, not land surrender. It also discusses how later administrators like Joseph Trutch ignored Aboriginal title and shrank reserve sizes, treating the land as empty rather than recognizing Indigenous ownership.
Trial louis riel
The document discusses a re-trial case involving a woman named Julia who sued a coffee shop owner after spilling hot coffee on herself. It provides background on burden of proof and evidence being used to determine guilt. Several pieces of evidence are presented: Julia was an elderly woman who bought coffee at a drive-thru shop while in her old car; the coffee was served very hot in an insecure lidded cup; it burned Julia's tongue when she drank it, causing her to spill it on her arm. Investigation found the coffee shop served coffee hotter than their own rules allowed, likely to use cheaper beans. In the end, the coffee shop was found liable but the claim was reduced by 25% due to Julia's partial
Trial louis riel
This document discusses a mock trial scenario about a woman named Julia who sued a coffee shop after spilling hot coffee on herself. The document outlines the evidence that would be presented in the trial, including that the coffee was served much hotter than the shop's rules allowed, putting customers at risk of burns. After reviewing all the evidence, the judge found the coffee shop partly liable but also found Julia partly negligent, reducing her claim by 25%. The document then prompts the reader to consider questions that would need to be asked in another mock trial about a character named Riel to determine their guilt or innocence.
Riel trial
After the Northwest Rebellion of 1885:
- Louis Riel surrendered and was tried for high treason in Regina, found guilty and hanged despite his insanity defense.
- Indigenous leaders Big Bear and Poundmaker were imprisoned for their involvement in the rebellion despite evidence they tried to prevent violence.
- Metis leader Gabriel Dumont fled to the U.S. but later returned to Batoche, while Indigenous chiefs Crowfoot and Poundmaker saw their health decline in prison.
Lesson 6 changes to red river settlement
The Red River Settlement was home to Métis and European settlers engaged in fur trading. As more Canadian settlers arrived in the 1860s, tensions rose between the Métis and the new anti-French, anti-Catholic arrivals. In 1869, the Hudson's Bay Company sold Rupert's Land to Canada, transferring control over the territory but worrying the Métis who felt their rights and culture were threatened by the influx of outsiders and switch to a grid survey system that ignored the traditional Métis seigneurial method of land allocation.

EPQ Presentation
This document examines the power struggle between Britain and France over colonial control of Canada from 1750-1867 and how Quebec separatism has impacted Canadian government and society in recent decades. It outlines the key events that led to British domination of Canada, including the Acadian Expulsion, Seven Years' War, and Battle of the Plains of Abraham. Subsequent acts sought to reconcile French and British populations by protecting Catholic rights but also divided governance along linguistic lines. Two referendums in the 1980s and 1990s on Quebec sovereignty narrowly rejected separation. A survey found most see Quebec as distinct but opinions diverge on national unity, with separatism cited as a divisive issue.
Essay review
The document provides an overview of topics related to a Social Studies 11 review on Canada's progress towards becoming a just and caring society from 1914-2000. It includes brainstorming notes on various topics such as immigration/multiculturalism, women's rights, Aboriginal peoples, Quebec, and the development of the welfare state. The working thesis proposes that while far from perfect, Canada has developed into a mostly just and caring country over the 20th century by advancing rights and protections.
The Red River Rebellion.pptx
The document outlines the events surrounding the Red River Resistance led by Louis Riel and the Metis people against the Canadian government's plans to expand westward. It details how the Metis formed a provisional government under Riel to negotiate terms for Manitoba's entry into Confederation. Though negotiations led to the Manitoba Act and provincehood, violence and discrimination against the Metis continued in the following years, prompting many to disperse further west where tensions would again rise and spark the Northwest Resistance.
Chapter 7 notes
The Great Migration and push for democracy in British North America are summarized as follows:
1) Poverty and economic troubles in Britain triggered the Great Migration as many British people emigrated to British North America for more opportunities. This influx of colonists created pressure to settle more land.
2) Reformers wanted more democratic government and power for the elected assemblies rather than appointed governors and councils. This led to rebellions in both Upper and Lower Canada in 1837-1838 seeking democratic rule.
3) In response, Britain launched the Durham Report recommending uniting Upper and Lower Canada, giving colonies more power, and assimilating French Canadians to British culture. This led to the Act of Union
French-English Relations
The document discusses French-English relations and Quebec nationalism from the mid-20th century to late 1990s. It summarizes that Quebec underwent a period of rapid modernization known as the Quiet Revolution in the 1960s, seeking more autonomy. Two referendums in 1980 and 1995 on Quebec sovereignty both failed to pass. Attempts to amend the constitution to recognize Quebec as a "distinct society" through the Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords also failed.
The 1960s & 1970s
The 1960s and 70s saw major social changes in Canada as values shifted after World War 2. The counterculture movement emerged among youth, rejecting mainstream society through protest music and styles. The women's movement also grew due to Friedan's book, seeking equal rights. Trudeau's government passed laws legalizing abortion and homosexuality. Quebec underwent a quiet revolution modernizing its economy and reducing church influence, strengthening Quebec nationalism and later separatism. Bilingualism became official policy to recognize French rights across Canada. The FLQ committed terrorist acts for separatism, culminating in the October Crisis kidnappings.

Sc’s history of european settlement 8 1.3
The document summarizes the history of European settlement in South Carolina. It describes how the first permanent English settlement was established at Jamestown in 1607. Tobacco plantations and the use of indentured servants and African slaves helped the colony prosper. This established the pattern for southern colonies like South Carolina. Founded in 1663, South Carolina was granted to Lords Proprietors and became a prosperous plantation colony due to its fertile land, mild climate, slavery, and attraction of religious freedom seekers. Large plantations cultivating cash crops like tobacco and rice using slave labor made it distinctly southern.
Chapter 02 notes
The document provides an overview of chapters in a textbook about colonial American history and government. It summarizes that the English established 13 colonies along the East Coast and brought ideas of representative government from England. As the colonies grew, the colonists developed traditions of self-government but began resisting tighter control from Britain through acts of protest and boycotts following the French and Indian War.
The royal commission on aboriginal peoples w bibliography
The Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples was established in 1991 in response to the Oka Crisis between indigenous and non-indigenous groups over land. The commission conducted research over 5 years, consulting with over 2000 indigenous people. It aimed to address the relationship between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples in Canada and make recommendations. However, the government failed to fully implement the commission's proposals to improve issues like indigenous self-governance, land claims, education, employment and living standards.

However, the government did not fully implement the commission's recommendations, and socioeconomic gaps between indigenous and non-indigenous Canadians remain.
Chapter 7 section 1 pp.200 201 "A Loose Confederation"
1) The Articles of Confederation created a very loose alliance between the 13 independent states, each with one equal vote in Congress.
2) The central government under the Articles was very weak, unable to resolve disputes between states or compel them to provide money or troops.
3) Events like Shays' Rebellion in Massachusetts showed the weaknesses of the Articles, prompting leaders to call a convention to revise the national government framework.

Lesson 14 nw rebellion & trial
Louis Riel surrendered to the Canadian militia after the Northwest Rebellion and was held as a prisoner until his trial. At his trial in 1885, which lasted just 5 days, Riel was found guilty of high treason despite his defense counsel's arguments that he was insane. He was sentenced to death by hanging, emerging as a hero to the Métis people in the years after his execution.
Lesson 13 the cpr and the national policy
The document discusses the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) and its role in Canada's National Policy. It describes how the CPR was an important part of the National Policy aimed at settling the West and transporting goods. Building the transcontinental railroad across Canada faced many challenges, including dealing with First Nations lands, high costs, and traversing the Rocky Mountains. Political scandals delayed completion but public support increased after the CPR helped defeat the 1885 North West Rebellion by transporting troops faster than previous methods. The railroad was finally completed in 1885 when Donald Smith drove in the last spike in British Columbia.
Nov 25 Lesson 11 metis movement & the national policy
The document assigns students to seven different groups for an activity. It then provides information on the Métis movement and John A. Macdonald's National Policy to develop Canada. The National Policy had three parts: protective tariffs to shield Canadian industry, western settlement to develop farming, and constructing the Canadian Pacific Railway. After Manitoba joined Canada, the Métis were promised land but received scrip instead, which they did not value. As a result, many Métis moved west to existing communities in Saskatchewan.
Lesson 4 5 furtrade and impact
The document provides background information on the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) and North West Company (NWC), two fur trading companies that operated in Canada in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It discusses how each company was established and their business models. It also outlines how the fur trade impacted Indigenous groups as the trade moved further inland and competition increased between the two companies. The document notes that by the 1810s-1820s, the fur trade economy was shrinking and this led to conflict between groups in the Red River area, setting the stage for the Battle of Seven Oaks in 1816.
Lesson 2 the west
This document outlines the major themes and timeline of development of the Northwest region from 1800 to 1895, including the fur trade competition between the Hudson's Bay Company and North West Company, European and Métis settlement of the prairies, changing relationships with indigenous groups and settlers, and the emergence of a distinct Métis cultural identity with roots in the Red River Valley that faced dispersal over time. Key events discussed are the Red River Resistance of 1869-1870 and the Battle of Batoche in 1885.
Life after cromwell
After Oliver Cromwell's death, the monarchy was restored in England. Charles II became king but secretly wanted to increase royal power despite agreeing to a constitutional monarchy. He put Catholics in positions of power against Parliament's wishes. His successor, James II, was openly Catholic and believed in the divine right of kings. He cracked down on protests, leading Parliament to invite William and Mary to overthrow James in the 1688 Glorious Revolution. This established the monarchy's power came from Parliament through the new Bill of Rights that defined constitutional limits on royal authority.
Stuarts Notes
The document summarizes key events and individuals related to the rule of the Stuart kings in England from 1603 to 1649. It introduces King James I, who believed in the divine right of kings and was not a strong supporter of England's democratic traditions. It then discusses his son, King Charles I, who similarly believed in absolute royal power and often ruled without Parliament's consent, raising taxes and fees without permission. The document also provides context on the role of Parliament in England and the limits it placed on the monarchy through agreements like the Magna Carta.
Civil War Part I
The document summarizes the English Civil War between King Charles I and Parliament from 1642-1649. It describes how the King and Parliament disagreed over power and authority, leading the King to attempt to invade Parliament in 1642 and declare war. The war lasted 7 years and divided England between the Royalists who supported the King and Anglican Church, and the Parliamentarians who backed Parliament and often held Puritan religious beliefs. Both sides recruited soldiers and militias from different social classes to fight in the war.
Death of a King, Birth of a Republic
Charles I was tried and executed for treason in 1649 after the English Civil War. His death was controversial, with some viewing it as justified punishment of a tyrant while others saw it as the martyrdom of a monarch. Oliver Cromwell then ruled the new English Republic as Lord Protector, but he consolidated power through military force and ruled as a dictator, imposing harsh religious policies and invading Ireland and Scotland. Cromwell's legacy is complex, as he overthrew the king but then denied freedoms himself. The republican experiment in England was short-lived and ended with his death in 1658.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Conferences to Confederation
- 3. IT ALL STARTED IN CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. Charlottetown Conference, August 1864 • In attendance: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, P.E.I, Canada (United Province of Canada) • Result: Idea of Maritime Union set aside. Decide to meet in Quebec City. • The Maritime colonies were already meeting to discuss Maritime Union • Delegates from Canada East and West travelled to Charlottetown to pitch the idea of a bigger union. They showed up with plenty of champagne and got to work.
- 4. ON TO QUEBEC CITY Quebec Conference, October 1864 • In attendance: New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, P.E.I, Canada East, Canada West, Newfoundland • Result: 72 Resolutions outlined the details of Confederation. • It was politics in the day, and parties at night. With the railways picking up many of the bills. • BUT… The governments of each colony had to pass the 72 resolutions in order for the colonies to join.
- 5. NOW IT’S YOUR TURN TO JOIN, OR NOT TO JOIN, THAT IS THE QUESTION!
- 6. CONFEDERATION CONFERENCE. ROUND 1 • You will each be assigned a colony and will meet up with the other members of your legislature. • Look at the information provided and on your own answer these questions on a piece of paper: What are the most important points for/against Confederation. Would you support joining? • Elect a speaker for your colony who will share your group’s decision and most important points. You will have 2 minutes MAX to share your points so make them good! • When other colonies are sharing their points you need to be listening and/or taking notes so you can use them to help make your decision.
- 7. CONFEDERATION CONFERENCE ROUND 2 • Colonies will then elect a different speaker who will try to convince other groups that Confederation is a the right, or wrong, way forward. • Then each colony will vote on whether they join Confederation or not.
- 8. COMPARE YOUR DECISIONS WITH HISTORY Use pages 44-50 in ‘Challenges of the West’ to fill out this chart in your notes. COLONY FOR or AGAISNT LEADERS ARGUMENTS YEAR ENTERED Canada East Canada West New Brunswick P.E.I. Nova Scotia Newfoundland
- 9. THE RESULTS • At the London Conference in 1866 British Parliament signed off on the British North America Act (BNA Act), uniting New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Quebec, and Ontario. • The BNA act was based on the 72 resolutions. • The Dominion of Canada came into being on July 1, 1867.
- 10. SO WHAT DID THEY AGREE TO? • A reorganization of government based on British and American models FROM THE BRITISH MODEL • Queen as head of state, represented in Canada by the Governor General • Parliamentary government with prime minister and cabinet who controlled government policy. Prime Minister and cabinet were members of the party that had the most seats in the House of Commons. • House of Commons was made of individuals from each province elected by the people. Quebec was guaranteed 65 members, the rest was based on population • A second house of Parliament, called the senate, was to double check the laws passed by Parliament.
- 11. SO WHAT DID THEY AGREE TO? FROM THE AMERICAN MODEL • Idea of a federal union. Federal government makes decisions that deal with entire nation and provinces deals with its own issues separately. • The division of powers between federal and provincial was influenced by the American Civil War. Which was fought over the rights of individual states. • Macdonald wanted the federal government to be stronger than the provincial government to prevent the same thing from happening in Canada.
- 12. THE DIVISION OF POWER Hammered out by the 72 Resolutions FEDERAL • Anything that affected the whole country • defence • immigration, • international affairs • postal service • money • criminal code • aboriginal land and people PROVINCIAL • The leftovers • education • transportation • hospitals • licenses
- 13. • A railway connecting Halifax with the St. Lawrence River with plans to expand further. • Federal government absorbed all the provinces debts (and much of their income too) THE PROMISES • The rights of French speaking people were protected. French- Canadians could keep their own province, language, schools, and religion. • Roman-Catholic and Protestant schools were guaranteed. Both English and French were to be used in central Parliament, Quebec Parliament, and federal courts.
- 14. AND FINALLY… Now that the political wheeling and dealing is over, please answer this question on your own and hand it in. Point form is ok. • Imagine this… what would have happened if Confederation completely failed. What would Canada look like? Would we be French, American, First Nations? What would we be called?
