Canada West vs Canada East Political Deadlock Canada West vs Canada East

Disagreements were very common in the government. In 1841, Canada West and East were part of the United Province of Canada. Disagreements were very common in the government. The English on the west and French on the east were usually on opposite sides of issues. Four parties, two on West and two on East. In order to create a government by majority at least one of the parties on the sides had to co- operate in a coalition. The coalition government in power had a hard time getting a strong majority to pass the legislation/laws, this lead to political deadlock. George Brown and John A. Macdonald were foes/enemies, this made the situation worse. This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA

The Great Coalition - In 1864 George Brown made a move that would change the course of history. He stood up in the legislative assembly and announced that he was willing to work with his political enemies John A. MacDonald and George- Etienne Cartier This co- operation was called the Great Coalition This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA

George Brown Due to George Brown switching sides, the political deadlock broken. The politicians in the great coalition wanted to form a federal union, this would allow Canada West and East each to have it’s own government. Language, Religion and Educational Matters The seats of the central government would be divided on the basis of Representation by Population (“Rep by Pop”) The members of a federal union have certain powers are turned over to a central goverment This Photo by Unknown Author is licensed under CC BY-SA
