Can somebody validate this information and include it somewhere in this page? I feel that if I do it, I will be persecuted by Angelique.
On October 27, 1864, after the signing of the confederative pact, George Brown, founder of the Toronto Globe and one of the Fathers of the Confederation, wrote a note to his wife while packing his things before leaving for Toronto: "All right... Constitution adopted - a most creditable document - a complete reform of all the excesses and injustice we have complained of: Is it not wonderful? French Canadianism entirely extinguished." -- Mathieugp 19:51, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Was Brown in favour of an elected or appointed Senate ?
The Paragraph on the Quebec Conference doesn't make sense. The first sentence says "Brown argued strongly in favour of an elected Senate.", but later it says "He believed that Canada's system of government should adhere to the British 'mixed government' model where the appointed Senate could be a check on the democratically elected House of Commons." It looks to me like the first sentence is just wrong, but I'm no historian... 216.23.136.226 18:11, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, Brown was against electing the Senate (see: Careless)-- he basically thought that Upper Houses are elitist by nature and ought to be dignified, not effective. Stevecudmore 02:39, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
