Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 December 2019
Summary
The story of Catholic Canada is not simply a binary of French and English. Rather, there were a number of groups, including significant populations of Scottish Catholics, in the Maritime provinces and Upper Canada (modern Ontario). This chapter takes as its starting point the regional nature of Canadian history and examines the development of distinctively (and distinct) Irish Catholic communities in the Maritime provinces and Upper Canada/Ontario.
