Excerpt from Currents and Counter-Currents in Canadian Politics: Or a Brief Enquiry Into Certain Factors Which to-Day Dominate Political Life in Canada This condition of affairs is, perhaps, more fully illustrated in our Federal than in our Provincial assemblies. At the present time the transactions of Parliament are freely, though seldom fairly, published in public press, whereby the mass are daily acquainted with its deliberations. Solely from party spirit these proceedings are frequently charactized by the most ungenerous rivalry; and the frequency of these exhibitions has engendered a commendable indifference to many trying instances of personal aspersion, which, a century ago, would doubtless have sought redress in pistols at twenty paces. If a so-called whig promotes a measure which suggests the sligh est departure from the conventional methods of his British ancestors, his tory opponents will probably charge him with disloyalty. If, upon the other hand, a tory advocates a scheme in the light of the traditional belief of his party, his Whig adversarys may impeach him with servile admiration for ancient examples and disrespect for the rights of the people.
