Ques­tion of the Week
Ques­tion for Week 11 Silver/Bruckner (22/23 Novem­ber) :
“Was con­fed­er­a­tion the product of internal Cana­dian impetus or of external forces such as the Brit­ish colo­nial office? “
or
“As a Que­becer, why would you sup­port Confederation?”

Ques­tion for Week 10 Pannakoek/Spry (15/16 Novem­ber) :
“Were the exist­ence of mixed-blood rela­tion­ships in the Red River and in Rupert’s Land a source of divis­ive­ness or cohesion?”

Ques­tion for Week 9 See/Gough (8/9 Novem­ber) :
“Vol­un­tary asso­ci­ations, such as the Orange Order, led to divi­sion in nine­teenth Brit­ish North Amer­ica, but they also per­formed vital social good. Accord­ing to See, what led to the growth of the Orange Order in St. John?”

Ques­tion for Week 8 McCallum/Tulchinsky (1/2 Novem­ber) :
“What eco­nomic factors led to the dis­par­ity in devel­op­ment between Upper and Lower Canada by the mid-nineteenth century?”

Ques­tion for Week 7 Yee/Harris (25/26 Octo­ber) :
“Why did the sei­gneury of Petite-nation fail to provide for its hab­it­ants? What changed in the Sei­gneur­ial sys­tem from prior times to render it inef­fect­ive by the mid-nineteenth century? ”

Ques­tion for Week 5 Errington/Upton (11/12 Octo­ber) :
“What are the the strengths and weak­nesses of using news­pa­per and pub­lic accounts to doc­u­ment the role of women in Upper Cana­dian society? ”

Ques­tion for Week 4 (4/5 Octo­ber) :
“Many French Cana­dian his­tor­i­ans have claimed that the con­quest of Que­bec in 1759–61 irre­voc­ably altered the tra­ject­ory of French Cana­dian his­tory and had a huge impact on the pop­u­la­tion of Que­bec. Examin­ing the art­icles for this week by Iguarta and Greer, is this pos­i­tion jus­ti­fi­able?“

Ques­tion for Week 3 (27/28 Septem­ber) :
“The art­icles this week exam­ine the nature of soci­ety and eco­nom­ics in New­found­land and Aca­dia. How do dis­tinct eco­nomic activ­it­ies shape soci­ety in these areas, and how do the two dif­fer as a result?”

Ques­tion for Week 2 (20/21 Septem­ber) :
“Cana­dian his­tor­i­ans have claimed that New France was a para­dise for the hard work­ing indi­vidual. Do you think this a fair eval­u­ation of con­di­tions in the New World? Dis­cuss whether this holds true with par­tic­u­lar atten­tion to gender and social mobil­ity by examin­ing the work of Noel and Eccles.”
