Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to examine the various parliamentary maces, rods, badges, and chains of office used throughout Canada, Canadian Symbols of Authority details how these devices are used at every level of government, emphasizing how, like the Crown itself, they embody continuity in an ever-changing world. Symbols of authority are not only emblems of democracy and authority but they are part of the diverse heraldic and artistic heritage of Canada. Despite Canada’s rich symbolic and ceremonial heritage, little has been written about the nations various symbols of authority or the offices that are associated with them.

Book excerpt: Heraldry is now. Heraldry is fun. And most of all, heraldry is Canadian! A Canadian Heraldic Primer dispels, once and for all, the myth that coats of arms are boring, snobbish, mediaeval holdovers that have no relevance today. Using cartoons, humour, and not a little irreverence (in which is concealed a surprising amount of information), Kevin Greaves explains the history behind heraldry's unique conventions and language, and explores its creative possibilities. He shows heraldry as part of the fabric of Canada's past, present, and future, and illustrates how this lively art has become livelier since Canada became master of its own heraldic system in 1988.

Book excerpt: This warmth comes in part from the various woods found throughout the chambers and the deep carvings.1 Among the many points of interest in these quarters are the heraldic emblems that adorn the walls and provide accent for the historical furnishings. [...] In the pride in the heritage 19th and 20th centuries, coats of arms were granted to Canada and each of the provinces by the heraldic authorities in Great Britain. [...] After the term of Lord Byng, the Governor General would serve Canadians strictly as the representative of the Crown, fulfilling the constitutional and ceremonial duties that the sovereign assumes as the head of state who speaks for, and acts on behalf of, the people. [...] Worth noting is the way in which the various elements of the armorial bearings have been arranged within the decorative frieze of the room. [...] At the first session of Parliament the following November, His Excellency stated in the Speech from the Throne: "Your new nationality enters on its course backed by the moral support ... and the most ardent good wishes of the Mother Country." Lord Monck left Canada in 1868 and returned to his native Ireland, leaving a proud legacy as a champion of Confederation and a tireless promoter of Canadian un.

Download or read book Canada s Deep Crown written by David E. Smith and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2021-12-02 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Crown in Canada has had a profound influence in shaping a country and a constitution that embraces the promotion of political moderation, societal accommodation, adaptable constitutional structures, and pluralistic governing practices. While none of these features themselves originated through legislative or constitutional action, David E. Smith, Christopher McCreery, and Jonathan Shanks propose that all reflect the presence and actions of the Crown. Examining how a constitutional monarchy functions, Canada’s Deep Crown discusses how the legal and institutional abstractions of the Crown vary depending on the circumstances and the context in which it is found. The Crown presents differently depending on who is observing it, who is representing it, and what role it is performing. With a focus on the changes that have taken place over the last fifty years, this book addresses the role of the Crown in dispersing power throughout Canada’s system of government, the function the sovereign, governor general, and lieutenant governors play, and how the demise of the Crown and transition to a new sovereign is likely to unfold.
