The University Magazine, 1907, Vol. 6 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The University Magazine, 1907, Vol. 6 This question, in some form, is Often a puzzle to per sons who seem to accept without examination the postulate which underlies it. That is, that the West is not essentially Canadian in the same sense as the East is. Before one attempts to Show this erroneous, he may find it convenient to remark on another assumption which Canadians have been long ignoring in their political action. That is the assumption that Canadians are not distinctively Canadian, not differentiated, as other civilized communities are from one another, partly by natural conditions, and partly by reaction of the institutions devised in accommodat ing themselves to the natural. Any political system which persists effectively does so by assimilating, or moulding, those who use it, and so confirms them more and more in their separate course.
