 "Canadian castles"? The question of national styles in architecture revisited Journal of Canadian Studies - ...
Canadians have shown an inherent attraction to a historically allusive 'northern' architecture of steep roofs and vertical proportions."(f.32) A related uneasiness hangs about the thesis of the "Chateau Style." That Kalman had to devise a name and history for the mode suggests in itself a certain tentativeness to the structure.
Claims of the Canadianness of the chateau symbolism are further undermined by the fact that it is patently indebted to American fashions.
It seems, then, that, in architecture at least, a Canadian national identity was initially constructed not from domestic impulse, but to fulfill British and American politico-economic desire, and that Canadians, formed as a nation in that imperialist matrix, went on to wear the garments assigned us by others to represent ourselves to ourselves.

On learning that Salaberry had already been promoted to that rank in the 60th, where advancement was swifter, he asked for the appointment to the 7th to be cancelled and in the interim had him sent home to Lower Canada on leave.
But confronted with the attitudes taken by Prevost and by the Lower Canadian parliament, which in the absence of the governor’s assent, did not dare give the usual expression of thanks, Salaberry, who was tired and ill, enquired at the end of 1813 about the terms for retirement from the army.
In the early 1950s Salaberry was looked upon as the French Canadian who had given an outstanding demonstration of the courage of the race.
