Old talk

JillandJack, why did you insert the "bias" template on this page? What is the problem? Adam Bishop 07:15, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

NPOV

This is highly biased and has no references. The Chateau Clique were Scots and practiced Civil Law themselves. This shows a poor understanding of systems of private law.

First, the Château Clique was a lobby group.

Generally, they wanted the French Canadian majority of Lower Canada to assimilate to English culture. This included the abolition of the seigneurial system, replacing French civil law with British Common law,
- Do encyclopedias give vague labels such as "generally" in place of facts?
- Why did these business people want these changes?

and replacing the established Roman Catholic Church with the Anglican Church.
- the Roman Catholic Church was the "established" Chutrch?

Their efforts lead to the Union Act, which ultimately failed to assimilate all French Canadians but succeeded in preventing their political and economic interest to prevail on that of Britain.
- This is a derogatory, broad, and unsubstantiated generality.

His struggles against the Clique and the Lieutenant Governor, Lord Gosford, led to the Patriots Rebellion in 1837.
- All by himself? No one else had issues?

While the English-speaking population became the majority, the British-appointed governors general still attempted to force the French Canadian population to assimilate.
- They did? What about facts to support this assertion?

The NPOV notice exists for a reason. If people were required to correct NPOV writing, then there would be no need to have such a template. Please refrain from your actions and abide by Wikipedia policy and good manners. If not, we can take this to Wikipedia:Dispute resolution JillandJack 22:32, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I have a possibly nitpicky question about James McGill - how is he a member of the Chateau clique, which "gained prominence after the War of 1812," when he died in 1813? (Ianvitro (talk) 03:38, 20 March 2008 (UTC))[reply]
