La réponse à l’incendie du parlement de Montréal en 1849, fondement d’une nouvelle communauté politique canadienne intégrée dans l’Empire britannique
|
| Abstract |
The burning of the Parliament in 1849 put an end to Montreal's statute as capital of the united Canadas but opened a new political era by consolidating "responsible government" in the colony. The author argues that while the new government was still weak and criticized from all quarters, and English-speaking Tories were fuelling unrest in the town, a campaign of speeches and meetings were set up in Montreal to consolidate a new Canadian political community around the government. This community, he maintains, proclaimed its support to the Governor General and its allegiance to Queen Victoria, consequently sealing the reorganization of powers within the British Empire.
