Count Frontenac $21.15 1910. Le Sueur writes the history of Frontenac, a governor of New France. He had built a brilliant military reputation before his assignment to Canada. During his first administration he built a fort at Cataracouy to awe the Iroquois and facilitate communications with the West. To explore the course of the Mississippi, previously discovered by Joliet and Marquette, he sent Cavalier de La Salle, who named the country watered by that river Louisiana, in honor of Louis XIV. Although intelligent and magnanimous, brave and unflinching in peril, he was proud, imperious, and ready to sacrifice all to personal animosity. Contents: Canada Before Frontenac; The Beginning of Frontenac’s Administration; The Commencement of Troubles; Divided Power; The Life of a Colony; Governorship of M. De La Barre; Governorship of Marquis De Denonville; Frontenac to the Rescue; Frontenac Defender of Canada; Fire and Sword on the Border; and The Drama of War-Peace at the Last.

Excerpt from book: CHAPTER II 1663-1690 A QUARTER OF A CENTURY OF PROGRESS TRACY?TALON?CARIGNAN REGIMENT?FRONTENAC AND THE INTENDANT ? POPULATION OF QUEBEC ? CLERGY ? CONVENTS ? SIEGE OF QUEBEC BY PHIPS ? CHATEAU ST. LOUIS?NOTABLE FAMILIES IN QUEBEC The year 1665 opened auspiciously in Quebec. First, there was the arrival of four companies of the Carignan Regiment, comprising between twelve and thirteen hundred men. Then came the Governor de Courcelles, and the Intendant Talon, with eight companies of soldiers in their train, and, later, two hundred and twelve persons of title or fortune. In a single year the population of New France had doubled, and it was evident that the mother country was beginning to manifest a deeper interest in her possessions. The character and ability of the men in authority at this time were of a high standard. The Governor and the Intendant were each unusually gifted men, andcompetent to administer the affairs of the colony, while the Marquis de Tracy, who had been named Lieutenant General of the King in America, was an able administrator, a brave soldier, and a scholar. The annalist of the Hotel Dieu, in describing the character of these three men, says: ? They were of prepossessing appearance, of great intelligence and prudence, and were eminently fitted to convey a proper idea of royal power and majesty. It is not surprising, therefore, to find that under the guidance of these three men, the government of the country was established upon a sound basis, and that Quebec entered upon an era of prosperity. Talon undoubtedly contributed more than any other Intendant towards the progress of New France. He honestly endeavoured to promote the welfare of the people. He placed himself at the head of every movement in the direction of the public good; caused the…

Secession of Quebec and the Future of Canada $9.36 Based on the premises that Quebecers vote for independence in a referendum and Canada accepts this result, The Secession of Quebec and the Future of Canada is a timely examination of the implications of separation for Quebec and the rest of Canada.Robert Young discusses the ways in which Canadians might reconstitute their country after Quebec separates and considers possible political and economic arrangements between Quebec and Canada – the association aspect of sovereignty-association – including the breakdown of economic cooperation. Arguing that the long-term future of Canada and the shape of Canada-Quebec relations will depend on how the transition to sovereignty takes place, Young provides a clear and detailed analysis of how the transition is likely to occur. His discussion addresses major issues to be negotiated during the secession – citizenship, national debt, borders, armed forces and public service, commercial and economic relations, currency, First Nations, minority rights, mobility and immigration, and environmental matters. For comparison, Young draws on the experiences of other countries where peaceful secession has occurred, including Czechoslovakia. The second edition includes a new preface and concluding chapter that discuss to what extent the situation has changed since the referendum of 1995.

Toward a Canada-Quebec Union $4.24 At a time when Canada’s constitutional arrangement is in utter turmoil, Philip Resnick has come up with a bold and brilliant proposal for a new configuration of Canada’s two founding nations. Going beyond the political and social insights of Letters to a Quebecois Friend (Resnick and Latouche: McGill-Queen’s University Press, 1990), Resnick is no longer simply observing the English-Canadian/Quebecois situation and appealing to reason: he is attempting to lay the foundations for a Canada that will, at last, work.Resnick begins Toward a Canada-Quebec Union with an exploration of the conflicting notions of federalism — and of Canada itself — that contributed to the demise of the Meech Lake Accord and to the Conservative government’s agenda for constitutional reform. He presents an enlightened interpretation of English Canada and Quebec as distinct sociological nations, reveals the deficiencies inherent in official bilingualism and biculturalism, and rejects both the existing form of federalism and the much-touted sovereignty-association as viable constitutional alternatives for the future. The global trend, Resnick observes, is away from the centralized nation-state, and he shows the dangers of sovereignty for Quebec to be very real, both economically and — given the power of the American colossus — culturally. Resnick proposes the establishment of separate parliaments and governments in English Canada and Quebec, to be linked by a new institutional arrangement that he calls the Canada- Quebec Union. Reflecting passionately on what Canada and Canadians have suffered recently, he calls for a more open and democratic process of constitutional change that would entail elected constitutional assemblies. He deals also with the two vitally important questions of minority rights and the threat, for all of Canada, of Americanization. Toward a Canada-Quebec Union will provoke strong responses, whether ardently supportive or vehemently critical. There can, however, be no que@õÂ?\(öÿ¾Úð
