    Frederick William Wallace

    Frederick (Fred) William Wallace, photographer, maritime journalist, novelist, Canadian fisheries advocate (born 11 December 1886 in Glasgow, Scotland; died 15 July 1958 in Montreal, QC). Through photography, film, journalism and fiction, Wallace preserved the memory of a maritime world that was rapidly disappearing. His most important work came during seven voyages aboard fishing schooners between 1911 and 1916, when he documented in words and photographs the closing years of commercial fishing under sail on the banks off Nova Scotia. The photographs, taken with a box camera in often rough conditions, provide a rare record of the last generation to fish those waters solely by sail, making Wallace one of the principal visual chroniclers of Canada’s age-of-sail fishery.

    Freemasonry

    Changing economic and religious conditions after the Gothic period brought a decline in majestic building projects, and by the 17th century, lodges could stay alive only by supplementing the membership of working ("operative") masons with nonmasons ("accepted masons").

    French Canada and the Monarchy

    French Canadian attitudes toward monarchical government and members of the French and, later, British royal families have changed over time. King Louis XIV of France made New France a crown colony and supported its expansion and economic development. King George III of Great Britain granted royal assent to the Quebec Act in 1774, which guaranteed freedom of worship and French Canadian property rights. Early royal tours of Quebec were well received by the public. There was republican sentiment expressed during the Lower Canada Rebellion of 1837, however, and support for the monarchy in Quebec declined sharply following the Quiet Revolution of the 1960s. Today, polling data indicates that a majority of people in Quebec support the abolition of the monarchy in Canada.

    French Immigration in Canada

    After New France was ceded to Great Britain in 1763, the migration of French colonists slowed considerably. A trickle of clergy members, farmers and professionals settled during the 19th century. However, after the Second World War, French immigration — which was then politically favoured — resumed with renewed vigour. This effort was geared towards recruiting francophone professionals and entrepreneurs, who settled in Canada’s big cities. The French spawned many cultural associations and had a large presence in French-Canadian schools.
