What a pleasure to talk about my book with members of the Canadian International Council, Waterloo branch, last night at St. Jerome's University. An engaged and thoughtful audience!
There are a lot of people to thank for making it happen. Special thanks to John English for the invitation, Shawky Fahel for smoothing the way, Ryan Touhey of the history department at St. Jerome’s for co-sponsoring my talk, and Krenare Recaj for dashing out and getting more books when it looked like we did not have enough!

#ÉlénaChoquette discusses her book #LandAndTheLiberalProject: #Canada's Violent Expansion
Choquette 'investigates the liberal concept that underpinned land appropriation and legitimized violence: #Indigenous territory and people were to be “improved,” the former by agrarian capitalism, the latter by so-called protection and enforced schooling.'

Welcome to June.
In this month, in 1749, settlers heading to Halifax, Nova Scotia with Cornwallis incl. Herbert Jefferie, printer, & Thomas Blackwell, bookbinder. Whether they carried type & other equipment is unclear. The 2 may have continued on to Boston, yet it’s possible Jefferie briefly worked in Halifax. If so, he could be Canada’s first printer—an honour usually bestowed upon Bartholomew Green Jr.

It can’t be overstated how hugely impactful this outcome was. It dramatically changed the course of #history in North America. #France gave up, leading to English becoming the dominant culture in #Canada and the #USA. The “appeasement“ of the Francophones afterwards, has also shaped most of #CdnHist
