Title
The Lachine Strike of 1843
Abstract
A study of a bitter strike, lasting from January to March 1843, which took place during the construction of Montreal's Lachine Canal. The author argues that the strike, mostly by members of the city's large Irish community, marked the origins of Canada's proletarian class. The author also details the divisions and old-world rivalries which existed within Montreal's Irish community at that time. --Abstract by Brendan O'Donnell, Bibliography on English-Speaking Quebec.
