摘要
The first section of this two-part paper describes my historical geographical career, particularly the topics and issues I have pursued and the changing intellectual environment in which they have been situated. The second section offers a summary interpretation of the emerging human geography of early-modern Canada followed by some reflections on its contemporary implications. This interpretation stresses the extent to which boundaries and discontinuities marked early Canada, and contrasts a pinched Canadian experience with the land with a far more expansive American one. It shows how deeply difference was constructed and ingrained in the Canadian past, and suggests some challenges and opportunities that follow from this inheritance.La premiere partie de cet article de;crit ma carriere de ge;ographe historique, en pre;sentant les sujets et les enjeux que j'ai approfondis et le contexte intellectuel changeant dans lequel ils furent aborde;s. La deuxieme partie offre une interpre;tation sommaire de la ge;ographie humaine du Canada avant la Confe;de;ration, suivie de quelques re;flexions sur ses implications actuelles. Cette interpre;tation de;montre a quel point les frontieres et les discontinuite;s ont marque; les de;buts du Canada, opposant un rapport a la terre plein de re;serve, pour ne pas dire coince;, en comparaison avec celui des e;tats-Unis. Elle montre combien la diffe;rence fut construite et enracine;e dans le passe; canadien, et de;crit certains des de;fis et occasions que cet he;ritage fait naitre aujourd'hui.
