| | Northern Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Northern Canada is the vast northernmost region of Canada variously defined by geography and politics. | | | Canada asserts control of this passage as part of Canada's internal waters because it is within 20 km of Canadian islands; the US asserts that it is an international waterway. | | | Since 1925, Canada has claimed the portion of the Arctic between 60°W and 141°W longitude, extending all the way north to the North Pole: all islands in this region are Canadian territory and the territorial waters claimed by Canada surround these islands. |

| | A specialist in the intersection of information and politics in the North Atlantic world since the 18th century, Dr. Heaman will direct her research to the question of politics in British North America in the century preceding Canadas formation as a sovereign nation. | | | Approaching politics from the perspective of shared knowledge permits a fresh look at perennial questions about the history of Canadian identities, particularly the political aspirations of both English and French Canadian nationalists. | | | She will examine the genealogy of Canadas system of government by asking how particular forms of knowledge about the British North American colonies were established during the century after 1750 and how they served governments and citizens. |

| | In the worst of four reported assaults on Jews, a Jewish man was severely beaten in Montreal by a group of Palestinians, according to B'nai B'rith Canada. | | | The number of Jews here has doubled during the last quarter-century to about 6,000, fed with an influx of Russian Jews from the Soviet Union and of Montreal Jews unhappy with separatist politics in Quebec. | | | In an echo of violence in the Middle East, Canadian Jews have been subjected to a wave of attacks that community leaders say are unprecedented. |

| | The Moulding of British North America:1791-1815 - Canadian Heritage |
| | For the Canadas, however, the anti-democratic doubts left from the American Revolution, or raised afresh by the mass-violence of the French Revolution now exploding in Europe, impelled the planners of the Act of 1791 to place the Legislative Council in their new Canadian design, as a watchful, built-in barrier against popular political excesses. | | | Hence by 1810 they had added another segment to the English-speaking minority in Lower Canada, one which was largely composed of country-dwellers, not city merchants, and one which would be further enlarged by the British immigrants who came into this Anglophone Townships community after 1815. | | | Never occupied by the French Canadians, this wide tract once home to native Abenaki had remained outside the limits of seigneurial holdings; yet the Act of 1791 did allow grants of land in Lower Canada to be made by "free and common soccage" (farm proprietorship) beyond the established seigneuries. |
