描述
and Reconciliation Commission, has said, 'If you don't have some accepted history, the chances are you will not gel as a community.' This provocative book explains how divergent views of Canada's past have sown dissension between Québécois and other Canadians.
Paul Romney reminds us that both French and English Canadians once regarded Confederation as a compact of provinces and peoples, designed to enable each partner to cultivate its own distinct society. With the rise of Canadian nationalism, English Canadians forsook this conception for a centralist myth, which alienated French Canadians by its celebration of nation building and exaltation of federal power. Romney explains how English Canada's forgetting of the original vision led to a 'historic blunder' -patriation of the Canadian constitution without Quebec's consent.
Lively yet learned, Getting It Wrong speaks to Canada's present condition. By disclosing a lost middle ground between the Canadian nationalist and Quebec nationalist visions of Canada's history, it offers us a new way to share our past and thus, our future.
'If I have seen further,' wrote Isaac Newton, 'it is because I was standing on the shoulders of Giants.' Such an acknowledgment is obligatory in a book of this sort, where one is forced to dwell on the errors of earlier writers while taking their achievements for granted. Let me emphasize that disagreement does not signify disrespect. This book owes as much or more to what other historians have got right as to what they may have got wrong.
The book is about political ideas, and I am especially indebted to the work of three historians whose achievement and example permeate it far beyond anything that endnotes can register. I refer to the writing of J.M.S. Careless on Upper Canadian politics, S.F. Wise on Ontario's political culture, and Ramsay Cook on Canadian political ideas and constitutional history. Other writings that I have found especially useful include Carl Berger's The Writing of Canadian History, A.I. Silver's The French-Canadian Idea of Confederation, Robert Vipond's Liberty and Community, and Doug Owram's The Government Generation. In a class of its own is that powerhouse of historical scholarship, The Dictionary of Canadian Biography.
I owe a special debt of gratitude to Richard Risk for a decade and more of fascinating talk about the Canadian constitution and its scholars. Dick also criticized part of the manuscript. Others who graciously read part or all of it, charged with telling me where it didn't make sense or might be improved, are

<p>On a snowy November day in 1872, the premier of Ontario is speaking in his constituency, and he tells a story - the story of his people's long struggle for liberty ...</p>
<p>With this vignette Paul Romney leads us onto a lost middle ground between conflicting visions of Canada's past. He reminds that both French and English Canadians once regarded Confederation as a compact of provinces and of peoples, designed to permit each partner to cultivate its own distinct society. In English Canada that original conception gave way to a nationalist myth, which alienated French Canadians by its celebration of nation-building and exaltation of federal power. English Canada's forgetting resulted in a "historic blunder" - patriation of the Canadian constitution without Quebec's consent.</p>
<p>How did that happen? Romney presents the politics of nineteenth-century Ontario as a confrontation between two competing myths - one of resistance to subversion, and one of resistance to oppression. The latter sustained a long struggle for local autonomy, leading successively to colonial self-government, Confederation, and the entrenchment of provincial rights. It fitted well with the French-Canadian idea of Confederation. But immigration, industrialization and a growing sense of Canadian nationhood transmuted both myths into rival nationalisms - one liberal and anti-British, the other conservative and anti-American, but both of them centralist in orientation.</p>
<p>Ranging across two centuries, this provocative book reveals Canadians in confrontation with the Americans, the British, and each other. It argues that prospects for Canadian unity must depend on recognizing Confederation's true complexity as a compact of peoples and provinces, and on reconciling English-Canadian and Quebecois understandings of Canada's past.</p>
<p>Lively yet learned, Getting it Wrong is a history book that speaks to Canada's present condition.</p>
