Territorial Government in Canada: The Autonomy Question in the Old North-west Territories

Portada
University of Toronto Press, 1946 - 269 páginas
This book is an account of the circumstances which led to the fruition of the hopes of the "fathers of Confederation," who envisaged a Canadian family of provinces stretching from sea to sea. It describes the influences which prompted the pioneers of the Canadian North-West to demand provincial establishment as the final step in the thirty years' evolution of their frontier institutions. The introduction serves as a background to the autonomy movement, and recounts very briefly the story of political development in the North-West Territories from the acquisition by Canada of Rupert's Land and the North-Western Territory in 1870 to the attainment of responsible government by the local Legislature in 1897- only nine years after the winning of a representative Assembly.
