A Canadian Confederate? Weird? Not really. A new book by John Boyko Blood and Daring: How Canada Fought the American Civil War and Forged a Nation makes the point that there was considerable support for the Confederate cause. Canada, then a British colony, was, like the Mother Country officially neutral. However, Britain leaned toward the South. Little known and perhaps long suppressed facts are the following: 1. While Canada was strongly anti-slavery -- Gov. John Graves Simcoe had banned slavery in Upper Canada in 1794 -- there was widespread support for the Confederacy. "The reporting and editorial stances of 84 Canadian papers revealed themselves to be obviously pro-South, with only 33 pro-North and eight neutral. A report of the Confederate victory in the war’s first battle elicited a spontaneous cheer in Canada’s legislature.|" 2. Quebecois sympathized, as a beleaguered people in a sea of English speakers, with the distinct South threatened by the commerce and politics of the North. 3. Many Irishmen sympathized with the Southern rebels. 4. Many Canadians served in the armies of the South (and the North) 5. Many Canadians feared the belligerence and Manifest Destiny expansionism, views prevalent in the North and Abraham Lincoln's cabinet. 6. Many Canadians saw the War of Yankee Aggression as being less about slavery and more about states rights and resistance to Big Brother tyranny. Paul Fromm Canadian, Confederate and Proud JOHN BOYKO: CANADIANS FOR THE CONFEDERACY * * A new book by John Boyko reveals that a surprisingly high number of Canadians supported the Southern secessionists during the U.S. Civil War No one can fully understand Canada without appreciating that the U.S. Civil War was an essential factor in our own country’s birth. Canada was intricately involved in the war’s cause Wikimedia CommonsRuined buildings at the riverside in Richmond, Virginia, capital of the Confederacy which fell to General Ulysses Grant's Union Army on 2 April 1865. ------------------------- Shortly after the U.S. Civil War began in April 1861, Britain declared itself neutral. The Canadian and Maritime governments dutifully echoed that official line and informed their citizens that it was against the law to support North or South, and for individuals to join in the fight. One would expect that Canadians and Maritimers would abide by their government’s wishes and that public opinion would overwhelmingly support the North. After all, they were by and large law-abiding folks, loyal to Britain and nearly unanimous in their abhorrence of slavery, which had been banned in British North America a generation earlier. Further, Canadians and Maritimers were geographically closer to the North and for years thousands more had travelled to those Northern states for work than to the distant South. Business people enjoyed more commerce with Northern than Southern industry. Canadians travelling to Britain often went by way of New York and Boston. Despite such familiarity, however, public and popular opinion of the North and South was divided, volatile and multi-dimensional. It was coloured by class, ethnicity, religion, ideology and region. Quebec Priests often equated Southerners with the Québécois — a beleaguered minority, fighting to preserve a unique way of life Many factors led Canadians to sympathize with the Confederacy. In Canada East, the Catholic Church enjoyed enormous power, but considered itself under attack by popular democratic ideas on the separation of church and state. In this fight, American republicanism was anathema. Montreal’s Gazette called America the most “immoral” country in the world. The destruction of the United States through civil war and the Confederacy itself was, consequently, seen as a good thing by the Church hierarchy. Priests often equated Southerners with the Québécois — a beleaguered minority, fighting to preserve a unique way of life threatened by a more politically and economically powerful enemy with no shared cultural values. In New Brunswick, Fredericton was home to a Protestant majority that was unmoved by anti-Catholic threats. Its physical location in the centre of the province left it somewhat isolated. That it was the capital perhaps made its people more sympathetic to the exhortations of the government and the lieutenant-governor, who were resolutely neutral. The city’s New Brunswick Reporter was staunchly pro-North throughout the war. In June 1862, hundreds of folks gathered in Saint Johns to enjoy a boisterous parade celebrating a Confederate victory. Confederate flags flew, and a band played ‘Dixie’ However, a few miles southeast, on the Fundy Bay, lay the much different Saint John. It was a blatantly pro-South city that recognized the potential of winning business for its port if the United States permanently split. Its Irish-Catholic majority empathized with Southern nationalism and with fighting a distant government. Confederate ships were encouraged to use its harbour, and its spies and recruiters made to feel at home in the city’s hotels and bars. Many rich Southerners who had for years summered nearby moved their families to the fine cottages to escape the ravages of war. They were openly welcomed in the city. In June 1862, hundreds of folks gathered to enjoy a large and boisterous parade celebrating a Confederate victory. Confederate flags flew and a band played “Dixie.” A Maine sea captain was roughed up by the crowd as police watched but did nothing. A similar parade was held in the border town of St. Andrews. A major factor that shaped, shifted and divided Canadian and Maritime public opinion was Lincoln’s attitude toward that most irrepressible subject: slavery. Abolitionist Canadians and Maritimers suffered widespread disappointment when Lincoln said in his 1861 inaugural address that he would not immediately emancipate American slaves. Even Toronto’s pro-North Globe reflected disillusion in an editorial: “At first the sympathies of the British people were unmistakably with the North. They imagined that Mr. Lincoln had determined to wage a war against slavery, and in heart and soul they were with him.” The Emancipation Proclamation that followed in September 1862 came after the opinions of many had hardened against the president. Another factor that gave rise to Confederate sympathies was the unmistakable anti-Canadian and anti-British sentiment that swept up from the North. Lincoln had appointed notorious anglophobe and enemy of Canada, William Seward, to his cabinet. Seward had issued numerous threats of annexation before and during the war, and then a crisis involving the taking of Confederate agents from a British ship called the Trent nearly brought war. Many Northern newspapers published damning stories and editorials that openly promoted a hatred of Canada and Canadians, while frequently advocating invasion. Many of the anti- Canadian rants were reprinted in Canadian papers. The divided sympathies within Canada and the Maritimes were evident in its newspapers and public debates. The Toronto Leader was pro-South, while the Toronto Globe was pro-North. The Montreal Gazette was pro-South, while the Montreal Witness was pro-North. The reporting and editorial stances of 84 Canadian papers revealed themselves to be obviously pro-South, with only 33 pro-North and eight neutral. A report of the Confederate victory in the war’s first battle elicited a spontaneous cheer in Canada’s legislature. In the face of political authorities demanding neutrality and nonparticipation in the war, and despite the complexity of public opinion and the widespread sympathy for the South, many young Canadians and Maritimers left home to fight. Those who did fought overwhelmingly in Union ranks. A letter home from a young man stationed in the trenches facing the Confederate capital of Richmond, Virginia, in 1864 spoke with surprise of how many of his French-speaking countrymen he had met: “You have no idea … of the number of Canadians who are in different army corp. They may be counted not in the hundreds but in the thousands.” The service of so many Canadians in America’s duelling armies further split Canadian and Maritime public opinion. It also divided communities and, as in America, fractured families. Nova Scotia’s Norman Wade, for instance, enlisted to serve on Union ships enforcing the blockade. In letters home he told of the many compatriots he had encountered and the divided loyalties they suffered together. In November 1861, he wrote to his sister: “A schooner was seen working in towards the mouth of the river … the Captain told me to pitch a shot across her course … she proved to be a schooner from Lunenburg, Nova Scotia … some of our officers had the joke on me for firing on my own countrymen.” (National Post, July 5, 2013) Excerpted from Blood and Daring: How Canada Fought the American Civil War and Forged a Nation.

NEVER BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF OUR PEOPLE HAVE WE FACED A CHALLENGE SO THREATENING THAT THE VERY EXISTENCE OF OUR CHILDREN AND OUR CHILDREN’S CHILDREN MAY VERY WELL DEPEND ON THE DECISIONS WE MAKE TODAY. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE ARE PREPARED TO MAKE THE RIGHT ONE. THE WORLD-WIDE REBELLION AGAINST OUR PEOPLE IS SUBTLY AND CLEVERLY SPUED FORTH IN MOVIES, MAGAZINES, SCHOOLS, CHURCHES, AND ON TV. THIS SHROUD OF BLINDNESS BEGINS TO COVER THE EYES OF OUR PEOPLE WHILE THEY ARE STILL YOUNG CHILDREN. AS THEY BECOME TEENS AND ADULTS THEY HAVE BEEN CONDITIONED TO ACCEPT LIES AS TRUTH AND FALSEHOOD AS REALITY. EVERYDAY THEY AWAKEN IN A WORLD OF FALSE IMAGES CREATED BY THE SCRIPT WRITERS IN HOLLYWOOD AND NEW YORK CITY. THERE IS MASS DISTORTION OF HISTORY, SCIENCE, AND CHRISTIANITY WHICH HAS BEEN INGESTED INTO THE SOUL OF OUR PEOPLE AND HAS CREATED A GENERATION THAT NO LONGER GIVES VALUE TO THEIR BLOOD HERITAGE. THIS DECEPTION IS NOT ONLY AN AMERICAN ISSUE BUT A WORLD-WIDE PHENOMENA. IN SHORT, OUR PEOPLE, THE PEOPLE THAT CONQUERED THE CONTINENTS AND THEN LOOKED TO THE HEAVENS AND MAPPED THE STARS, ARE FACING GENOCIDE. WE ARE STANDING AS A WITNESS TO THE GREATEST BETRAYAL OF THE AGES. A BETRAYAL OF NOT ONLY OUR PEOPLE BUT A BETRAYAL OF CIVILIZATION ITSELF.

IN 732 BC, WHEN IT LOOKED LIKE THE MOORS WERE GOING TO OVERRUN EUROPE, GOD CALLED CHARLES MARTEL FROM HIS HUMBLE ORIGINS AND THROUGH HIS BRILLIANT LEADERSHIP STOPPED THE ISLAMIC INVASION AT THE BATTLE OF TOURS. ONCE AGAIN OUR HOMELAND IS INVADED AND ONCE AGAIN GOD IS CALLING MEN AND WOMAN TO STAND AS A BULWARK AGAINST THE FLOOD. IT IS FOR THIS REASON THAT PASTOR ROBB HAS GATHERED SOME OF THE MOST BRILLIANT MINDS IN OUR STRUGGLE AND SHARED WITH THEM HIS VISION FOR THE SOLDIERS OF THE CROSS TRAINING INSTITUTE. THOUGH THE BEGINNINGS ARE SMALL AND HUMBLE, LIKE THE FIRST RECRUITS IN A MIGHTY ARMY, THE POTENTIAL IS VAST AND POWERFUL. IN PREPARING A GENERATION TO WALK IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE GREAT HEROES OF HISTORY WE RECOGNIZE THAT WE MUST FIRST BE AWARE OF THE CONFLICT, SECONDLY WE MUST BE TRAINED TO KNOW THE HISTORY, PHILOSOPHY, AND STRATEGY OF OUR ENEMIES AND HOW TO COMBAT THEM IN THE ARENA OF IDEAS AND THIRD WE MUST MOBILIZE OURSELVES INTO A FORCE FOR FREEDOM THE FIRST YEAR OF THIS SCHOOL WILL BE 7 DAYS LONG AND WILL BEGIN ON AUGUST 23 AND CONTINUE THROUGH AUGUST 29.

Toronto Traffic Gridlock Isn't An Accident, It's Part of a Plan, Alcock Tells Alterna

Metropolitan Toronto's hopeless traffic gridlock is not an accident but the result of deliberate planning by car-hating politicians, transportation expert James Alcock told the monthly meeting of the Alternative Forum here tonight. Few people know that Toronto's lights are synchronized so that, if you drive the speed limit, you'll hit almost every red light. The goal, said Mr. Alcock, is not traffic efficiency but to slow traffic down. "Think what that does for pollution, which the left claims to hate," he added. "The 1950s and 1960s were the Golden Age of transportation in Toronto," Mr. Alcock said. "The idea was to let people get around by the means of their choice, The building of roads and subways kept pace with the growth. The transportation people planned on natural growth, plus modest immigration." Many people, he recalled, wanted to live in the suburbs and own their own homes with a little piece of land to raise their families. "The city built subways and expressways to connect them to their downtown jobs. There was high density in the city and low density in the suburbs." In 1971, everything changed. Jane Jacobs, a New York radical with owl glasses came with her two draft dodging sons to Toronto. "She hated cars," Mr. Alcock said. She blamed the rot in the inner core of U.S. cities to the flight of much of the population, who were still able to commute to downtown jobs because of good roads and their cars. "She ignored the fact that racial problems drive many Whites to the suburbs. Also, there were mortgage problems. It was hard to get a mortgage for a property in a declining downtown area, but much easier to get one in an expanding suburb." In Toronto, Jane Jacobs threw herself into the "Stop the Spadina Expressway" movement which led to the expressway being only partly built and terminating illogically at Eglinton Avenue, instead of cutting right down through the city and providing another rapid north-south route to take pressure off the Don Valley Expressway. Out of this battle developed a new band of urban "reformers," including Mayor David Crombie, John Sewell, Jack Layton, with Jane Jacobs as their guru. "In 1972, the reformers adopted a new city plan which has hobbled the city ever since. It stresses high density. They wondered: 'How do we force people out of their cars?' We create congestion and boost density through welcoming mass immigration We create traffic congestion so that drivers will get frustrated and take public transit." To add to the congestion, Jane Jacobs vociferously campaigned in favour of keeping the awkward traffic-stopping streetcars instead of buses. "these policies are beginning to backfire," Mr. Alcock asserted. Drivers have resisted and moved farther and farther away, to places like Barrie and Port Hope, but still face the punishing commute into the city. Despite the war on cars, 70% of workers drive their cars to work, almost the same percentage as in 1971. In 2002, the City of Toronto adopted a traffic plan designed by Jane Jacobs. "They want to massively boost density and plan for a million more people by 2030!" he said. "The plan puts pedestrians and bicycles first, public transit second, and cars last1" Planned light rapid transit will also "screw up the roads and add to congestion. "This is not a transportation plan. It is a political plan of forcing people to do things they don't want to do." And we're paying a huge price, Mr. Alcock indicated: "In the 1990s, traffic congestion cost the Toronto economy $2-billion a year. Today, it's over $6-billion!" _____________________________ Unsubscribe / Change Profile: http://ymlp288.net/ugmjhqsqgsgbbqgqqugguewwmw Powered by YourMailingListProvider
