Summary: "The Canadian Dominion: A Chronicle of Our Northern Neighbor" by Oscar D. Skelton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book details Canada’s multifaceted history following its establishment under British rule, addressing the social, political, and territorial developments that have contributed to its evolution as a nation. Skelton explores the intricate dynamics involving various cultural groups, the quest for self-governance, and the challenges posed by external influences, notably the United States. The opening of the book lays a foundational understanding of Canada's history since the end of the French regime. It describes key events post-1763, starting with the impact of the Treaty of Paris, which solidified British control over Canada but left the colonies divided among various factions. Skelton emphasizes the integration of the French-speaking population and the emerging British settlers from New England, while detailing the complex relationship between these groups. The text illustrates the significant challenges the British government faced in governing a culturally diverse population, as well as the eventual political movements that sought self-governance and unity across provinces, setting the stage for a deeper examination of Canada’s national identity and governance throughout the remainder of the work.
