Historian Herman Laraby would be appauled at this lack of knowledge referring to Cartier. Veh! -Burnadette


 * Well why don't you add some then? Adam Bishop 17:55, 6 May 2004 (UTC)

Adding small bits
Just made a couple add'ons. Come on Canadians.! Where are you? :) Lets build this up. Hubert Derus 03:22, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm here! And may I say I love the template on the article page!! And the to-do list. Thanks for organising this.--Anchoress 11:42, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

- I added some schools that were named after him. Since I went to it as a kid, I thought it might be non important.

Trivia discussion
I say restore it, at least for now. John A Macdonald's article has trivia. -- Usgnus 22:24, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I think its better gone. It looks cheeze. Mabey if it was expanded. Till then i removed it. Sorry but i didnt see this new Usgnus messege before doing it. Feel free to restore it but it should be expanded. I belive Atrian is just bent on redoing everything i do rather then makeing a meaningful contribution. Sadly this wasnt the first time ive had to deal with him. But im guessing if noone ever respects you in real life you have to act like somekind of authority on the net. Whatever helps you sleep at nite Atrian.Hubert Derus 22:27, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Pronounciation
What the hell is that pronounciation system? I need to know which to properly convert it into IPA. Circeus 23:53, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

It looks to me like the system that dictionaries use Josepy (talk) 00:52, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Political life in Dominion of Canada
I noticed that this section is pretty close to the text as it appears on the Library and Archives Canada website's biography for Cartier. I don't know who wrote it but it could almost be plagiarism. I think this section may need a rewrite. Geroge-Etienne Cartier bio. --Atrian 17:29, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Rural Municipality of Cartier
I don't know if you want this type of stuff. Someone, in their wisdom, has renamed the above article "Cartier, Manitoba", which doesn't exist. Stormbay 21:21, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

''Rural Municipality of Cartier is part of the Central Plains Region in the province of Manitoba, Canada. It is named after Sir George-Étienne Cartier who was a leader in bringing Quebec into Confederation. It was part of a larger municipality St. Francois Xavier until 1914.''


 * P.S.
 * The Manitoba Historical Society,, will yield a number of hits on Cartier. The one that most focuses on him is Cartier West. I hope this aids someone. Stormbay 21:37, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

This content:

Early career
- 	Cartier was born in Saint-Antoine, Quebec (then known as Lower Canada). Cartier was educated at Sulpician College de Montreal and was called to the bar in 1835 where he began to practise his profession. He was also involved in the railway business, and Grand Trunk Railway was one of his legal clients. - 	Early in his career, Cartier was friends with Louis-Joseph Papineau. Through this connection, Cartier became a member of the Société des Fils de la Liberté (“Sons of Liberty”) and took part in the Lower Canada Rebellion of 1837 (also called the “Papineau-MacKenzie” or “Pap-Mac” Rebellion). For his part in the uprising, Cartier was exiled and he took temporary refuge in Vermont. However, he was allowed to return to Montreal in 1838 to resume his law practice.

was deleted. As it was deleted without explanation, but is included without cited source, I am not sure whether it should just be added back. Comments? KenWalker | Talk 07:42, 10 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I didn't see your comment here until after I reverted the article, but given that it was deleted by an anon and had no edit summary, I think it was deleted as vandalism and not because it was unsourced. Indefatigable 02:52, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George
After an intensive search, I could not find any proof what so ever that he was made a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (KCMG), besides maybe some websites which seems to be all a copy of the Wikipedia site, or those referring just to Wikipedia as a source. Also on the official London Gazette I couldn't find anything, which publishes official statements about persons who are given an honour. On other hand, there is proof he was ever made a Baronet (with the Sir distinction). I have removed the text about the knighthood; to my knowledge it was an invented edit without historical proof.
