Extractions: document.write(day + ', ' + date + ' ' + months[month] + ' ' + year); D uring the first fifty years of Confederation, Canada showed little interest in the establishment of a central bank. It was 1913 before Parliament formally discussed the subject, prompted at that time by W. F. MacLean, MP for South York. His plan, which called for a privately owned national bank subject to government control, was dismissed. Prime Minister R. L. Borden saw "no present necessity" for such a bank. Up to the time of the Depression, there was little apparent need for central banking in a scattered and mainly rural economy. The banking system that developed in Canada was quite different from that in the neighbouring United States. South of the border, a different philosophy encouraged the development of independent local banks, and a larger population, clustered in established communities, made it workable. In Canada, the continuing British influence was reflected in the preference for a limited number of banks with multiple branches. In the years leading up to Confederation, small rural settlements spread over an extended area made branch banking a practical approach. In a relatively undeveloped economy, branch banks could be established with less capital and fewer skilled officers than would have been required for independent banks at each location. The branch bank network was sufficient to the nation's needs for almost a century. The chartered banks provided the bulk of notes in circulation and could meet seasonal or unexpected demands. The larger banks were able to deal with government business without strain, and the branch network gradually developed a system for clearing cheques between banks.

Jean-Charles Chapais was the first mayor, while his father-in-law, the wealthy merchant and seigneur Amable Dionne, served in the colonial government representing Kamouraska. Dionne encouraged Chapais to run for election to the legislative assembly when a seat became vacant. After one unsuccessful attempt, Chapais was elected in 1851 and re-elected in four consecutive elections.

http://www.statcan.ca/english/census96/history.htm

Extractions: The 2001 Census Canada's first census was initiated by Intendant Jean Talon in 1666. The census counted the colony's 3,215 inhabitants and recorded their age, sex, marital status and occupation. In light of the need for information to help plan and develop the Colony of New France, Talon did much of the data collection personally, visiting settlers throughout the colony. The years leading up to 1871 (Canada's first national census) saw a long string of 98 colonial and regional censuses. During this period, notably in enumerations between 1710 and 1760, there was a particular need to collect information on housing stock and armaments such as muskets and swords owned by households. Previous censuses had been more concerned with raising taxes or armies and assessing resources. Later, as other needs arose, questions were added on livestock, crops, buildings, churches, grist mills and firearms. In 1765 for example, priorities included assessing the balance between Catholics and Protestants, and recording the number of Acadians, settlers

http://www.ainc-inac.gc.ca/pr/info/info113_e.html

Extractions: February 2002 In general, Aboriginal people in Canada are required to pay taxes on the same basis as other people in Canada, except where the limited exemption under Section 87 of the Indian Act applies. Section 87 says that the "personal property of an Indian or a band situated on a reserve" is tax exempt. Métis and Inuit are not eligible for this exemption. The exemption in Section 87 of the Indian Act has existed since before Confederation. It reflects the unique constitutional and historic place of Aboriginal people in Canada. The courts have held that the exemption is intended to preserve the entitlements of Indian people to their reserve lands, and to ensure that the use of their property on their reserve lands is not eroded by taxation. The Indian Act prevents non-Aboriginal governments from taxing the property of Status Indians on a reserve. However, section 83 of the Indian Act gives First Nations the power to impose property taxes on interests in land in the reserve. These property tax by-laws must be reviewed by the Indian Taxation Advisory Board and approved by the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. Individual tax circumstances may vary as some self-government and land claims (both settled claims and those currently under negotiation) may also provide First Nations with expanded tax powers, or may affect their tax treatment. Some First Nations have negotiated tax powers with the Department of Finance Canada and are imposing sales taxes on selected products.

Among the most popular universal symbols of Canada is maple syrup, the sport of hockey, and for certain the Mountie as even further popularized in Paul Gross' Due South. Below are the official symbols of Canada, and a historical note to go along with each. S hortly after Confederation, a Great Seal was required and a design was approved by a royal warrant dated May 26, 1868. This design displayed, quarterly, the arms of the original four provinces of the new federation: Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. It was never used as the Great Seal, but was gradually adopted as the Arms of Canada. W hen other provinces joined Confederation, the attempt to add the arms of the new provinces to this federal composite design resulted in a crowded and confused appearance. For this reason, the Canadian Government submitted a request to the Sovereign for a grant of arms. This request was approved and the arms assigned to Canada were appointed and declared in the proclamation of His Majesty King George V dated November 21, 1921. T he Great Seal of Canada is used on all state documents such as proclamations and commissions of cabinet ministers, senators, judges and senior government officials.

This spirit of scientific enquiry continues to this day in the current exploration, surveying and mapping and research activities which contribute to the prosperity of all Canadians. Some of the text presented within this site is based on outdated stereotypical beliefs and terminology which are invalid and are considered unacceptable by Natural Resources Canada. It is the intent of the Geoscience Heritage web development team to present a historically accurate example of the history of the development and practices of geoscience through the material available. The content of this site is largely composed of original text written by the Geological Survey officers at that time, consisting of content from 1861 to present.

Extractions: Early measurements standards for the colonies Canada's earliest measurement standards were enacted for surveyors in 1674 by Frontenac, governor of Quebec. Two years later, regulations and definitions followed for weights and measures, including the minot, boisseau, pot, pinte, aune, chaîne, romaine, crochet, balance, etc. Following the Treaty of Paris in 1764, Canada's weights and measures were officially tied to those of the British Exchequer. Standards for towns were stamped "G. III, R", while approved tradesmen's measures were stamped "Clerks of the Market". As early as 1795, official standards had been established for Newfoundland, Lower Canada (now Quebec) and Upper Canada (now Ontario). These early standards were generally of brass or copper. The Museum's earliest dated standards are a set of nested troy ounce weights (950509) dated 1796 and marked "G.R" (for George III) and "Lower Canada" (Quebec). The checkerboard symbol indicates that these were verified at the Exchequer in London before being brought to Canada. They were probably used until about 1872, when Avoirdupois measures replaced Troy measures. A set of nested Troy ounce weights (950509), dated 1796, were used in Quebec as secondary standards until about 1872. The checkerboard symbol stamped in the bottom (see detail) indicates that these were verified at the Exchequer in London.

http://www.umanitoba.ca/faculties/medicine/units/history/histories/medhist.html

Extractions: by Dr. Ian Carr Professor Emeritus, Faculty of Medicine The history of medicine in Canada and in Manitoba is a subject too large to be discussed except by selection. A complete account would include a discussion of pre-conquest health, sickness and medicine of aboriginal peoples, and a comparison with contemporaneous European medicine, which was at a similar stage of development, a consideration of health sickness and medicine in the Canadian colonies before Confederation, an account of epidemic disease , a history of institutions hospitals, medical schools, and licensing bodies, and an account of famous names and discoveries. Only some of these topics will be covered . It is difficult to obtain accurate accounts of the health and sickness of pre-conquest peoples, largely because the observers were either untrained in medicine, or did not have the chance to make accurate medical observations. It is likely that before European contact health and nutrition were as good as in other aboriginal peoples. Hans Egede in 1757 noted on the Greenland coast, that there was no epidemic infectious disease till 1734. Few of the population exceeded 50-60 years of age and there were many children.

The stations first broadcast occurred on July 24, 1924, when Newfoundland was a country onto itself and some 25 years before confederation with Canada when it became Canadas tenth Province. The founder of VOWR was the Reverend Dr. J.G. Joyce, Minister at Wesley United Church (then Wesley Methodist Church) from 1922 until 1930. Reverend Joyce founder was a native Newfoundlander, born in Carbonear, Newfoundland in 1889. He died in Washington, North Carolina, U.S.A. in 1959. This remarkable Pastor looked for ways to communicate the gospel message to members of the Wesley United Church congregation, many of whom were unable to attend regular worship services for various reasons due to age and infirmity etc. Rev. Joyce originally utilized parallel telephone lines connected directly from the pulpit to broadcast to a select number of homes. Listeners dialed in and listened to the service on their telephones. Joyce saw the new medium of radio as a better method to spread the word of God, having been fascinated with radio and its potential since his youth.

Extractions: Unit: French-English Relations Setting After spending one week on this unit, it was time for a test. During that week, I tried to make students realize that for over 250 years, French Canadians have always had to fight to preserve their heritage: language, culture, religion, land. To review, I made up a game of Jeopardy dealing with issues that we had talked about in class. I started the unit with an attitude test regarding their views on French-English relations in Canada today. From the results, I was shocked to see that the students knew very little about French Canadian culture, in fact they were quite close-minded and even racist. I therefore took the initiative to organize a French Canadian festival. For 30 minutes, the students enjoyed Québécois popular music and French Canadian desserts that I baked!

http://www.peak.sfu.ca/the-peak/2002-1/issue8/ar-natives.html

Extractions: Tejpal Swatch, The Peak Discussion about democracy in Canada usually revolves around how badly we govern ourselves or, for the more Constitutional commentators, how difficult it is to govern this country. There is rarely any discussion about the intellectual tradition of Canadian democracy, probably because most think there isn't one. Nearly all of us are content to leave the origins of our system of government to an artifact of British colonialism, or the accomplishments of John A. Macdonald. Some might even vaguely recall the term "responsible government" bandied about by one of those mysterious Heritage Canada commercials. Civic ignorance certainly isn't unique to Canada, but it seems to be more prevalent in our national dialogue. A lack of historical context always seems to find itself on our airwaves. The constant identity crisis this country is perpetually undergoing is but one example. The organisers of the Lafontaine-Baldwin symposium, a lecture series on the idea of democracy in Canada, want to address this void. The third instalment of the symposium will be held in Vancouver this Friday, March 9. The featured speaker is aboriginal leader George Erasmus who will discuss the aboriginal perspective on the future of democracy in Canada. On the next day there will be a roundtable discussion hosted by noted Canadian writer John Ralston Saul at SFU's Wosk Centre For Dialogue.
