Freemasonry in Quebec
Hats off to Bro. Ray Darlington and Bro. John Waagen, the
two Shrine-Masons who are trying to put on a one-day class. These brethren
are doing something to try and increase membership in our lodges,
and in the Shrine. I applaud them for not just sitting around and
bellyaching as many are doing; they stepped forward and said "I will put
on a one-day class."

and R.W. Bro. Jacques Ruelland, District Deputy Grand Master,
District No. 4. READ THE REST / LISEZ LE RESTANT |
Since the foundation of Quebec in 1608, England covets New France. Two
attempts at annexation have already aborted: Kirke in 1629, and William
Phipps’ attempt in 1690. England profits from the Seven-Year War
(1756-1763) in order to secure the territory. Thus, the fate of Quebec is
played out three times, during as many battles, in 1759, 1760, and 1775.
These confrontations are marked by treachery. Montcalm, Lévis and
Montgomery must not only measure themselves against the British but also
against the most abject treason coming from their own
troops.
