"This paper explores Peter Baskerville's text, Silent Revolution: Gender and Wealth in English Canada, 1860-1930. The paper discusses how the text fits into the broader themes and narratives of the course; time is also set aside to looking at the thesis offered by Baskerville and the comprehensive (but not perfect) fashion in which he goes about defending his thesis.

Finally, the paper contemplates whether or not the book..."

Abstract
The paper discusses how there are divergent opinions as to how Quebec's Quiet Revolution impacted Quebec's relations with the rest of Canada, and there is also disagreement as to whether the results of the Quiet Revolution qualify as a revolution, or just a noisy evolution. The paper argues that the impact of the Quiet Revolution on Quebec's relations with the rest of Canada was profound, for it laid the foundations for the separate identity of Quebec, and left the legacy of the constant threat of separation of Quebec from the rest of Canada.

Abstract
This paper states that, no matter what anyone does, the separatist issue in Quebec is never satisfactorily resolved and simply goes on being a bone of contention. The paper goes on to review the origins of the "Quebec issue" and identify the unique set of historical conditions from which the issue developed. The author of the paper argues that the British did all they could to set the stage for peaceful co-existence between Anglophones and Francophones in Canada; however, a sector of Quebecers has remained persistently opposed to peaceful co-operation and has kept alive the spirit of separatism.

From the Paper
"The Quebec Act, which was passed by the British Parliament in 1774, has justifiably been called statesmanlike. Certainly, it seems to have been a determined effort to deal in a just way with the unique circumstances in Quebec. It was also an inspired reply to the complex question the British government faced: "What would be a good law for a former French community, cut off from France, united to England, a close neighbor of American colonies, and now infiltrated with Englishmen and Americans?""

Abstract
This paper is a summary of the events leading up to the American War of Independence. Included in this essay are the Boston Tea Party; the Stamp, Sugar, and Quebec Acts; the Boston Massacre; Lexington and Concord; and many other significant events.

From the Paper
"The Sugar Act was, by and large, designed to eliminate the illegal trade that had been taking place between America, France, and the Spanish West Indies. The act imposed a raised tariff on many imported goods manufactured with sugar. Included in these products were coffee and wine, and, of course, sugar itself. This Act did not draw much resistance from the Americans as it affected only those who resided in New England; but, many New Englander's viewed it as an oppression of power by the British and were quite displeased by it. After a short period, the British realized that they were not making as much of a profit from this act and they needed a way to raise more money to repay its debt.3 The ensuing statute is what many refer to as the "real" beginning of civil discontent leading to the Revolution."

Abstract
It is very clear that nationalism is stronger in Quebec than it is in the rest of Canada. While Quebec remains a province of federal Canada, the question of seceding from Canada and becoming an independent country is never far from the agenda of most politicians in Quebec, and generates immense patriotic fervor throughout Quebec. This factor makes Quebec entirely different from other Canadian provinces. For example, we never hear talk of British Columbia seceding from Canada and becoming the Republic of British Columbia. In order to understand this peculiar situation, this paper investigates Canada's past and, specifically, the history of Quebec with Canada.

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to examine some of the major characteristics both historical and modern of the nationalist movement in Quebec. The writer points out that while it is true that Quebec nationalism could be traced all the way back to the late eighteenth century it is more accurate to say that Quebec nationalism is a product of the 1960s and subsequent decades when the appropriate political came to power in Quebec.

From the Paper
"If ever there was a modern case of the conflict and confusion that can be brought on by nationalist movements, then Quebec is that example. Nationalism in Quebec has been at near fever pitch since the 1960s, though the urgency associated with the political movement has died down somewhat in recent years. Nevertheless, Quebec nationalism is part of a long political and cultural tradition that traces its roots back to the English takeover of French Canada in 1759. Since that time, the francophone population in Quebec has quietly (and not so quietly) nursed its resentment of the control the English have over them."

Abstract
The paper looks at how Quebec City plans to address its transportation and land-use concerns as the city's population grows and as problems created by poor urban planning in the past are resolved. The paper starts off by looking at how changes in the transportation system can cut down on environmental degradation; specifically, it is noted how Quebec City is trying to prioritize public transit and an improved road system so as to cut down on the use of pollution-spewing automobiles. The paper also explores some promising transportation initiatives which offer hope in terms of revitalizing Quebec City's downtown core. In a related vein, the paper looks at how the metropolis' urban housing situation can be improved if various proposals for rationalizing and re-organizing the transportation infrastructure are put into practice. The paper concludes by looking at how the city stands to benefit economically if it adopts a multi-modal and integrated approach to transportation and if it changes its historic land-use practices. The paper shows how Quebec City simply needs to go forward with the plans it already has in place.

From the Paper
"The following paper will look at how Quebec City plans upon addressing its transportation and land-use concerns going forward as the city's population grows and as problems created by poor urban planning in the past are resolved; for the most part, the paper will focus upon transportation issues, leaving the land-use concerns to the end of the paper. In any event, the first part of this paper will start off by looking at how changes in the transportation system can cut down on environmental degradation; specifically, it will be noted how Quebec City..."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the Quebec Act of 1774, passed by the British Parliament under Lord North (Lawson). The second document is a letter from Guy Carleton to Lord Dartmouth, written on 11 November, 1774. At that time Carleton was Governor of Canada, and Dartmouth was Secretary of State for the Colonies in Britain (Francis, Jones and Smith). The primary issue dealt with by these two documents was the difficult situation in Quebec.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to provide an overarching examination of not only the historical evolution of Quebec nationalism but also the implications that this nationalist fervor has for the future of federalism in Canada and the possibility of an independent Quebec nation. The writer notes that nationalism in Quebec is part of a long political, social, and cultural tradition.

From the Paper
"In the span of the twentieth century, Canada as a nation has witnessed and endured any number of historical events that have had a profound influence and impact on Canadian society. Leaders came and went; social policies were enacted; traditional conservatism was replaced with neo-conservatism. Arguably, though, one of the greatest and most consistent forces in twentieth century Canadian politics has been the rising authority of Quebec nationalism and the threat it represents to a cohesive Canadian federalism."

Abstract
The paper briefly argues that the Canadian Supreme Court got it both right and wrong when, in 1999, it deliberated upon the question of whether or not Quebec could unilaterally secede from the rest of Canada. Specifically, the paper notes how the High Court was right to dismiss the claims of the provincial government - but how it was also wrong, seriously wrong, in leaving it open for future Quebec governments to pursue separation even though there was/is no foundation for such action in the laws of the land or in the laws of the international community. The paper argues that the final decision muddied the waters even more when it was supposed to provide clarity.
