    La Confédération, 1864-1999 : nouvelles perspectives (2019)

    ISBN: 9781773850641
    Content: On associe souvent le 1er juillet 1867 à la date de la Confédération canadienne, le jour de naissance du nouveau pays. Mais le processus ne faisait que s'amorcer en 1867. Du petit dominion aux frontières restreintes, le pays est devenu une fédération beaucoup plus vaste, composée de dix provinces, trois territoires et de centaines de communautés autochtones. Les politiciens ont longtemps débattu de la notion de pays et ont prudemment pesé les avantages et les inconvénients d'une adhésion à la Confédération canadienne. La Confédération, 1864-1999: Nouvelles perspectives regroupe plusieurs grands spécialistes de l'histoire du Canada dont le but est de porter une attention renouvelée sur la manière dont les provinces, les territoires ainsi que les régions sujettes aux Traités ont acquis leurs formes actuelles. En partenariat avec Les Débats de la Confédération, un projet de production participative non-partisan et sans but lucratif visant à numériser les documents fondateurs du Canada, cet ouvrage novateur intègre les traités entre les peuples autochtones et la Couronne, de façon à éclairer à la fois la création et l'expansion de la Confédération canadienne. Ce faisant, le livre révèle l'histoire tumultueuse, complexe et évolutive de chaque province et territoire. Chercheur indépendant, Daniel Heidt est spécialiste en histoire politique de l'Ontario et du Canada ainsi que l'Arctique à l'époque de la guerre froide. Il a fondé et dirige Les Débats sur la Confédération

    ISBN: 0887557910 , 9780887557910
    Content: "In 'Two Years Below the Horn,' engineer Andrew Taylor vividly recounts his experiences and accomplishments during Operation Tabarin, a landmark British expedition to Antarctica to establish sovereignty and conduct science during the Second World War. When mental strain led the operation's first commander to resign, Taylor--a military engineer with extensive prewar surveying experience--became the first and only Canadian to lead an Antarctic expedition. As commander of the operation, Taylor oversaw construction of the first permanent base on the Antarctic continent at Hope Bay. From there, he led four-man teams on two epic sledging journeys around James Ross Island, overcoming arduous conditions and correcting cartographic mistakes made by previous explorers. The editors' detailed afterword draws on Taylor's extensive personal papers to highlight Taylor's achievements and document his significant contributions to polar science. This book will appeal to readers interested in the history of polar exploration, science, and sovereignty. It also sheds light on the little known contribution of a Canadian to a distant theatre of the Second World War. The wartime service of Major Taylor reveals important new details about a groundbreaking operation that laid the foundation for the British Antarctic Survey and marked a critical moment in the transition from the heroic to the modern scientific era in polar exploration."--

    Content: "July 1st 1867 is celebrated as Canada's Confederation--the date that Canada became a country. But 1867 was only the beginning. As the country grew from a small dominion to a vast federation encompassing ten provinces, three territories, and hundreds of First Nations, its leaders repeatedly debated Canada's purpose, and the benefits and drawbacks of the choice to be Canadian. Reconsidering Confederation brings together Canada's leading historians to explore how the provinces, territories, and Treaty areas became the political frameworks we know today. In partnership with The Confederation Debates, an ongoing crowdsourced, non-partisan, and non-profit initiative to digitize all of Canada's founding colonial and federal records, this book breaks new ground by integrating the treaties between Indigenous peoples and the Crown into our understanding of Confederation. Rigorously researched and eminently readable, this book traces the unique paths that each province and territory took on their journey to Confederation. It shows the roots of regional and cultural grievances, as vital and controversial in early debates as they are today. Reconsidering Confederation tells the sometimes rocky, complex, and ongoing story of how Canada has become Canada."--
