Conflicts and agreements: Canada’s foundations and their consequences - March 31

[Wendy Philpott]

The Library is co-hosting Conflicts and agreements: Canada’s foundations and their consequences<https://uwaterloo.ca/library/confederation-debates>, a panel discussion that will examine the major political agreements, battles and conflicting visions that surrounded each province’s entry into Confederation between 1865 and 1949. P. Whitney Lackenbauer<https://uwaterloo.ca/library/library-celebrates-university-of-waterloos-60th/confederation-debates#Lackenbauer> will moderate a discussion between fellow historians Patrice Dutil<https://uwaterloo.ca/library/library-celebrates-university-of-waterloos-60th/confederation-debates#Dutil>, Daniel Heidt<https://uwaterloo.ca/library/library-celebrates-university-of-waterloos-60th/confederation-debates#Heidt>, Marcel Martel<https://uwaterloo.ca/library/library-celebrates-university-of-waterloos-60th/confederation-debates#Martel>, Robert Wardhaugh<https://uwaterloo.ca/library/library-celebrates-university-of-waterloos-60th/confederation-debates#Wardhaugh> and political scientist Jacqueline Krikorian<https://uwaterloo.ca/library/library-celebrates-university-of-waterloos-60th/confederation-debates#Krikorian>. Along the way, they will discuss the success and failure of these many visions, describe how they shaped present-day politics, and evaluate whether - and how - we should celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary.
