Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book brings together essays examining the evolution of Canadian affairs, specifically the political, social, and cultural clashes that have shaped the Canadian identity from the time of the French and Indian War through the early 20th century. The author explores how British and French, as well as Protestant and Catholic influences, contributed to the development of the nation and the ideological struggles that arose as opposing factions wrestled for power and influence. Important topics of analysis include the Jesuit Estates Act, the Bible in schools, and the Orange Order. Throughout, the author argues that Canada's development has been marked by a struggle for civil rights and equality, a conflict that has yet to be fully resolved, yet is made more acute by the presence and influence of the Catholic Church and the tension between British and French influences.
