Beginning with the founding of the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1670, the fur trade dominated the development of the Canadian west. Although detailed accounts of the fur-trade era have appeared, until recently the rich social history has been ignored. In this book, the fur trade is examined not simply as an economic activity but as a social and cultural complex that was to survive for nearly two centuries. The author traces the development of a mutual dependency between Indian and European traders at the economic level that evolved into a significant cultural exchange as well. Marriages of fur traders to Indian women created bonds that helped advance trade relations. As a result of these "many tender ties," there emerged a unique society derived from both Indian and European culture. -- Publisher's description.

Par un arrêt unanime, la Cour Suprême du Canada renverse un courant jurisprudentiel bien établi de la Cour d'appel duQuébec. Elle affirme le pouvoir d'un tribunal d'arbitrage d'accorder des dommages-intérêts à un employeur victime d'une grève déclenchée pendant une convention collective. La convention collective dont il s'agissait prohibait une telle grève, mais ne contenait aucune mention expresse du pouvoir du tribunal d'arbitrage d'ainsi réparer un tel défaut d'appliquer cette disposition prohibitive.

La Cour suprême vient de rejeter le pourvoi formé à rencontre de l’arrêt de la Cour d'appel du Québec dans Lafrance c. Commercial Photo Service Inc. Non seulement ce jugement unanime dispose-t-il du droit de l'employeur de congédier un salarié en raison de la simple participation de ce dernier à une grève illégale; en pratique, il fait le point, d'une façon beaucoup plus générale, sur l'étendue du pouvoir d'appréciation du commissaire du travail et du Tribunal du travail quant à cette « autre cause, juste et suffisante » que doit établir un employeur pour repousser la présomption légale de congédiement en raison de l'exercice d'un droit résultant du Code du travail(L.R.Q., 1977, a. 15 et sq.).

This paper documents the attempt to obtain the nine-hour working day in Canada during the first six months of 1872. The primary role of the working class of Hamilton and Montreal is indicated and the view is taken that the Toronto Printers' Strike obscured, rather than advanced, the aims of the nine-hour movement. It is argued that, while there was certainly developing a class identity and a trade union consciousness, there existed only an inchoate sense of class consciousness among Canadian workers during the early 1870s.

In the years after 1899 a small but vigorous socialist movement emerged in Canada's Maritime Provinces. This article describes the origins, activities, ideas and personalities of the early socialist movement in the region. The socialists gained support in the region's industrial centres and coal-mining districts and contributed a proportionate share of the national support enjoyed by the Socialist Party of Canada and the newspaper Cotton's Weekly. The article concludes that early Canadian socialism found an important following outside western Canada and that "conservatism" is not an adequate explanation of the history of the Maritimes.
