Subject: One hundred fifty years since confederation
I won�t be celebrating �Canada Day� tomorrow as the �celebration� is meaningless. Canada is much more than 150 years old � in the order of three times that old.
I will celebrate Dominion Day � the anniversary of the day that Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia joined to form the Dominion of Canada. That was a significant milestone in our history. We almost became an independent nation.
Confederation was a disappointment. The Fathers of Confederation get much undeserved credit. They did not bring Prince Edward Island or Newfoundland into confederation, nor could they agree on an amending formula for the British North America Act, so we had to refer constitutional questions and changes to the British Parliament in London until 1982.
Very few people know why the provinces joined a federation.
First, the Province of Canada consisting of Canada West (formerly Upper Canada and later Ontario) and Canada East (formerly Lower Canada and later Quebec) was unmanageable. Its legislature was comprised of an equal number of representatives from East and West Canada, but no politician could muster enough support to govern with a majority. From 1841 to 1863, the Province of Canada held 8 elections and 167 by-elections!!
Second, the US civil war had ended in 1865 and the Union still had a formidable army. Our provinces feared a possible invasion by US forces and a need to unite in defence.
Those who turned July 1st from Dominion Day to Canada Day changed nothing. Celebrating July 1st, 2017 as Canada�s 150th birthday shows no understanding of our nation and her history. Canada has been used as a formal place name in the area around what is now the St. Lawrence River since 1547.
I love and am proud of the people who built Canada. Real estate does not make a nation � people do. We have a rich history of saints and sinners, explorers and adventurers, the charitable and crooks, bankrupts and entrepreneurs, tycoons and thespians, priests and the penitent, conventions, churches and circuses.
For two hundred years, politicians have tried to convince us of their wisdom and leadership abilities but the majority have let us down. Dithering for 115 years from confederation to agreeing on an amending formula and taking control of our nation is nothing to take pride in.
I will celebrate our survival as a nation for another year, often despite political leadership devoid of common sense, ethics and practical know-how. Politics, like our weather, is something we learn to endure. We celebrate quietly each summer while parliament and the legislatures are not in session plotting more silly regulations and taxes. No one�s life, liberty or property are safe when they reconvene in the fall.
