Philippe Aubert de Gaspé establishes French Canadian identity through his book Les Anciens Canadiens written in 1863. This work announces already the start of nationalism in this part of the world, Canada, which is cold and isolated by its climate but where warmth and humanity are present in every heart. Les Anciens Canadiens is a book which is primarily Canadian. Through this novel, the author unveils Canadian characteristics, its local colour, its land and its language. In this article we discuss mainly the style used by the author which makes this book a Canadian book. This style comes from the environment, from the cold weather and the silence of Canada. We analyse also the character of José who represents the Canadian innocence. Like José, Canada is fresh, welcoming, kind, endowed with ancient tradition. He is witness to Canadian pride and love.

The World

His Highness Aga Khan IV has emerged as a public intellectual advocating for pluralism as a sign of courage and humility. He has spoken repeatedly on the dire need for a pluralist ethic against the “clash of civilizations” and has committed himself to ideals of inclusion, belonging, and helping the world understand pluralism better. In this endeavour he has created partnerships with countries like Canada, to foster more spaces for dialogue and (re)thinking the application of pluralism. It comes as no surprise that Canada serves as a fitting partner, whose own history with diversity leading to the pivotal decision to implement a multicultural policy is indicative of the pluralistic ethos that has emerged as an integral component of Canadian identity.

Detailed studies were made on the nectar production of 44, 16 and 18 pear cultivars, respectively, in a cultivar collection of pear during three consecutive years with highly different weather in the blooming. Results clearly show that pear does not necessarily produce small amount of nectar as stated in the world literature. In fact, pear can produce extremely high amount of nectar sometimes much higher than other temperate zone fruit trees species but its nectar production is highly subjected to weather, first of all to air temperature. Low nectar production seems to be more frequent than high one and cold weather can prevent its nectar production at all. On the other hand, results corroborate to the earlier statements on the low sugar concentration of pear nectar. There is a highly significant negative correlation between the amount of nectar produced by pear flowers and its sugar concentration (r = -0.52, n = 291, p< 0.001 for 1996, r = -0.34, n = 197, p< 0.001 for 1998). Sugar concentration in individual flowers may be up, to 40% in exceptional cases but generally it is well below 20%. Very high figures for sugar concentration in pear nectar at the literature seem to be incomprehensible. In contrast of some earlier statement in the literature no real difference could be established in the nectar production of pear cultivars, based on much more measurements than in earlier studies. Very low sugar concentration in pear nectar can explain the fact that the overwhelming majority of honeybees are pollen gatherers at pear trees even in the case of exceptionally high nectar production.

One Year

The Royal Air Force Flying College at Manby in Lincolnshire, England, was established in 1949. During a training course lasting one year, experienced pilots and navigators study all aspects of the operation of an aircraft as a weapon of war. Such an all-embracing syllabus calls for a knowledge of air operations, backed by practical experience, in all parts of the world. Those taking part are introduced to some of the problems peculiar to cold-weather operation in high latitudes by a number of summer air exercises in the arctic regions, and by liaison flights in the winter months to Alaska and Canada.

The 19Th Century

The Army of Mary is a Quebec-based, conservative Roman Catholic organization that centres its religious worldview on pious devotions to the Virgin Mary, Catholic tradition and the infallibility of the Pope. In 2007, the Army of Mary was excommunicated for the heterodox doctrine of its foundress, Marie-Paule Giguère, who claims to be the incarnation of the Virgin Mary. This paper outlines how Giguère and the Army of Mary negotiate the complexities of orthodoxy and heterodoxy by basing their institutional identity on the 19th-century, clerico-conservative historiography. I argue that these religio-nationalistic constructions of French Canadian identity as morally superior offer Giguère and the Army of Mary the justification needed to forge a parallel organization to the Roman Catholic Church within a strictly eschatological paradigm.

Much has been said of migrants coming from all over the world to Canada, but there is a rarely interest in the other side of the fence. Every year thousands of Canadians escape from the cold weather during winter season, they are the so-called snowbirds. This paper portrays the life experiences of seven Canadian snowbirds who shared the journey of spending three to seven months each year in five different cities in Mexico. Through the lens of transnationalism, this paper sheds light on a better understanding of this growing phenomenon. It explains how this seasonal migration has developed transnational behaviours in the life of the snowbirds; reflected in their mobility, identity, social networks, political awareness, as well as their cultural and economic practices. This study is not focusing on a specific community but rather on the broader phenomenon across Mexico given Canadian snowbirds are not a homogeneous diaspora in Mexico.

Energy plays an important role in our lives. It comes in several forms which can be utilised to keep people warm during cold weather, provide foods, improve transportation, and increase productivity. When energy is utilised efficiently, it brings great comfort to our lives. However, energy consumption has been increasing in recent decades as the world population keeps growing. According to a United Nation (UN) report, the current world population of 7.4 billion is projected to increase by 1 billion over the next 10 years and reach 9.6 billion by 2050. Besides population, the standards of living for many people in developing countries is increasing, which in turn results in growing energy demand.

Smoking tobacco pipes was more than simply a leisure practice among labor class French Canadian voyageurs. Rather, smoking played an active role in the struggle over the terms and conditions of the fur trade workplace. White clay pipes were key material symbols of male French Canadian identity and were even celebrated in the voyaguer’s chansons—songs used to keep time as they paddled. Fur trade elites (the bourgeois), however, tended to link smoking with “laziness,” a powerful trope in capitalist discourse. This chapter examines the practice of smoking among the voyageurs and the role of clay pipes in mediating class tensions and reproducing French Canadian identity.

Trading Posts

The pattern of nineteenth-century French-Canadian settlements in the American Midwest bore no relation to the pattern of fur-trading posts of the eighteenth century. French-Canadians of the nine-teenth century were attracted by employment opportunities along the farming, lumbering, and mining frontiers. Detroit, Chicago, and Minneapolis-St. Paul developed French-Canadian parishes which maintained links with rural communities. Survival of the French language, cultural heritage, and affiliation with the Catholic Church varied throughout the region. Americanization of French-Canadians went hand in hand with their commercial success. A French-Canadian identity survived in the poorest, marginal, rural areas of northern Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.
