Lord Durham
Nanti de pouvoirs quasi discrétionnaires, Durham trouva au Bas-Canada et au Haut-Canada un climat de profond mécontentement. Démobilisé, il écrivit un rapport à ses pairs. Ce fut le célèbre rapport Durham.

Lord Durham is often referred to as “Radical Jack”; how accurate is this nickname, given what is seen in this film? Create a Venn Diagram that outlines the role of the Governor General during Lord Durham’s time and in the present. Review the relationship between Francophone and Anglophone Canadians at this time. Using the Durham Report research how Lord Durham investigated the Rebellions of Upper and Lower Canada. What were the outcomes of his investigation? What were his views on self-rule/responsible government and how did this influence other members of the Commonwealth? Consider viewing the following films at the same: Lord Durham, Louis-Joseph Papineau: The Demi-God, William Lyon Mackenzie: A Friend to His Country and Robert Baldwin: A Matter of Principle. Organize a class debate with each group representing one of these politicians.
