Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Twentieth Century Canada and Atlas of Western Canada: For the Guidance of Intending Settlers Its Resources and Development, With Maps of the Dominion of Canada, Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, the Maritime Provinces, British Columbia and North America
In 1867, when there were three and one-half million people settled in Canada, the four Provinces now known as Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia united to form a confederation which is called the Dominion of Canada. It was also provided that other portions of British North America might unite with Canada. The Dominion adopted the same form of government as exists in the motherland. There is a Gov erner-general appointed by the King to represent him, two Houses of Parliament, and a Cabinet. As each Province has a Legislature of its own to manage its local affairs, it is just as if England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland had separate Parliaments, in addition to that at Westminster.
