Happy Canada Day/Jour Heureux Du Canada

The rebellions occurred in two Canadian colonies: * The Lower Canada Rebellion — a larger and more sustained conflict by French Canadian and English Canadian rebels against the British colonial government * The Upper Canada Rebellion — an abortive uprising in Upper Canada against the ruling clique of the colony, known as the Family Compact. Thus Canada was born in the class struggle for popular democracy that was the creation of the working class movement. The history of our country is the history of class struggle, not language rights, nor narrow nationalism, but the class struggle for liberty, fraternity and equality. The Great Canadian/Canadien, reformer and one of the Rebellions leaders; Louis Joseph Papineau thus defended these rights and revealed the con job that is our current federation. He also noted that Canada was becoming far more pluralist, due to the importation of Chinese labourers to work (and die) on the construction of the Great Canadian Railway. Just as the Irish Catholic navvies were brought in to work and die building the Great Lakes Canals. 1867 Speech of Louis-Joseph Papineau at the Institut canadien http://plawiuk.blogspot.com/2006/07/happy-canada-dayjour-heureux-du-canada.html
