Canadians in Upper Canada and British surrender reflections
A long critique argues Canadians who joined the American cause faced betrayal after Hull's surrender. It cites Niles' Register and Hull's letter to depict Canadians as having dual rights to protection and laments their later handover to Britain. The piece recalls Pointe Claire events and political shifts in 1815 1818, noting Prevost's recall and Parliament's actions toward education and governance.
