[edit] Correspondance with Papineau

It would be interesting to have more details on his correspondance with Papineau in the failed attempt to unite the uprisings in both Upper and Lower Canada.

  • Did Mackenzie and Papineau really correspond much? From what I've learned, they simply happened to have the same goals, but didn't have much to do with each other beyond that. The Last Melon 01:27, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
Even if it was just once, it would be worth mentioning. Suddenly, that makes Papineau's struggle not only against English speakers (as it is taught in schools in Quebec), but against British Emperialism. Arasaka 14:17, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Attempted Assassination

It says in the timeline that there was an attempted assassination of Mackenzie in March 1832, yet it isn't mentioned in the article. Does anyone have anything on that? The Last Melon 01:28, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
