The Canadian Question by William Norris. This book analyzes the foundations and evolution of modern government, arguing that the so-called original compact is a fiction and that political order arises from expediency tempered by experience. Drawing on English and American history, Norris contends that nations and constitutions develop through gradual change rather than sudden upheaval. He surveys Canada’s social fabric, detailing four prominent denominations—Roman Catholic, Presbyterian, Protestant Episcopal, and Methodist—and how their teachings shape character, industry, and public life. Norris explains how climate, soil, and institutions influence national traits, and assesses Canada’s future in the light of colonization, federation, and potential independence. He weighs staying a British colony, joining the United States, or becoming a self-governing nation, ultimately arguing that independence offers the best guarantee of national identity, economic vitality, and political resilience. The work promotes a practical Canadian patriotism and a path toward sovereignty grounded in self-reliance and constitutional development.
