Canada

Origins and formation

Canadian Confederation united three British North American provinces, the Province of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick, into one federation called the Dominion of Canada on 1 July 1867. The British North America Act, 1867, followed resolutions from the Quebec Conference of 1864 and the London Conference of 1866. A game leader who takes office in 1896 cannot be the author of that Act. The dominion is older than his ministry, and the ministry is not the whole country.²

Defining periods

Sir Henri Charles Wilfrid Laurier lived from 20 November 1841 to 17 February 1919. He was the seventh prime minister, from 1896 to 1911, the first French Canadian in that office, and the holder of the longest uninterrupted term among Canadian prime ministers. Nearly forty-five years in the House of Commons is a record for that House. He is best known for compromises between English and French Canada. He studied law at McGill, practised, entered the Quebec assembly in 1871, and won a federal seat in 1874. He was minister of inland revenue under Alexander Mackenzie from 1877 to 1878. The lead used here breaks off as he becomes Liberal leader. This essay does not invent the missing year. No Civilization VII essay covers Canada, so none is linked.¹

Leaders

The Chinese update notes head a balance block with the ordinary name for Canada and name Laurier by a short form beside an ability about snow and tundra. They do not print a longer Chinese given name. The English notes use his surname with the same ability. The brackets on the block name Gathering Storm as the ruleset for the change. The same style of bracket, on other civilizations, names both Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm. It is not a sentence that says which pack adds Canada, so the pack stays unconfirmed. A later correction says a snow-mine bonus was wrong. This essay does not copy either figure.^{3 4}

Legacy and interpretation

Confederation’s legacy in the lead is a dominion made from three provinces. Laurier’s legacy is a long Commons career and a reputation for compromise between English and French Canada. Putting his face on the civilization joins a twentieth-century prime minister to a federation that already existed in 1867. The dates above are the reason to keep the Act and the ministry apart.^{1 2}

A closer look

The update’s Canada lines raise production and food on snow and tundra. They are balance numbers. This essay does not copy them. A changed mine is not the British North America Act and not the election of 1896.^{3 4}

In Civilization VI

The pack stays unconfirmed. The notes name the civilization and Laurier. They do not date 1867 or 1919. Keep Confederation on 1 July 1867, the ministry of 1896 to 1911, and the death on 17 February 1919 apart.^{1 2 4}
