4 Our nationalism is Canadian nationalism, founded on the duality of the races. The nation that we want to see developed is the Canadian nation, made up of French Canadians and English Canadians, that s to say two elements separated by language and religion but united in a common bond with our home. Source of text : Henri Bourassa, Le Nationaliste, 3 avril 1904, p. 2, on line. (Trans.) 5 Canada s first naval recruits 6 While many English-Canadians supported Britain's cause in South Africa, most French-Canadians and many recent immigrants from countries other than Britain wondered why Canada should fight in a war half way around the world. Concerned with maintaining national stability and political popularity, Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier did not want to commit his government. Yet the bonds of Empire were strong and public pressure mounted.

7 8 I believe that the British Empire is the Life's Work of the British race ; the express image of the British ideal;...the hope of humanity in the future ; the very best thing that we have been able to devise in over a thousand years of work for the betterment of man.the supremacy and continued activity of the British Empire is not only a condition that we should work for, but one for which the whole world should pray.... If we are British, the Empire's wars are our wars. If we are not ready to fight at the call of the Empire, then we are not British. As Britons, we are, of course, liable to attack from those who are at war with our Empire, and the mere words of our Parliament would not save us. * The Naval League of Canada. Founded in 1895 in Great Britain, the naval league promoted naval defence of the Empire. Branches soon developed abroad, including in Toronto where they actively promoted naval defence and later the creation of the Royal Canadian Navy. 9 History of Quebec & Canada - Secondary IV 6
10 Before the Act passed, Canada did not have a navy of its own and relied on the British Royal Navy. This new defence initiative was a direct response to the naval arms race between Britain and Germany in the years before the First World War and the 1909 pan ic in Britain over expansion of the German navy...the Act was bitterly opposed by French Canadian nationalists, led by Henri Bourassa, who feared deeper involvement in imperial affairs.
