Portrays the extreme economic distress of newly arrived Irish immigrants (stereotyped as "Paddy") who worked under harsh conditions for low wages on the canals of Upper Canada, which, in turn, fuelled feuds, ethnic clashes, and crimes against property in the 1840s. Describes the canallers' shanty town support system, their strikes for higher wages, and other forms of resistance related to secret societies, as well as the extensive efforts of the government of the Canadas to suppress the labour unrest. Concludes that state officials and contractors, in blaming "Paddy" for an ungovernable disposition, ignored the historic, aggrieved legacy of Irish class conflict that set the stage for confrontation in the Canadas.

Employs a life cycle framework to analyze women's role in the Quebec cotton industry from 1910-50 with a focus on the textile mill at Valleyfield. Concludes that young women gave all of their income to their parents, that because of this circumstance women remained unmarried until fairly late, that prior to the 1940s women left the workforce after marriage, but, commencing in that decade, women would return to work after marriage, and that with technological change and the increased sexual division of labour, women were more likely to be relegated to less skillful jobs. Also comments on the reasons why women were generally less militant workers. The paper, which is part of a larger investigation, was based on 35 interviews with female cotton workers in Valleyfield, Quebec, supplemented with census data, government reports, archival sources, and newspaper accounts.
