A map highlighting the Canadas with Upper Canada in orange and Lower Canada in green in 1841 the two colonies were united to form the Province of Canada Although both rebellions were put down in short order the British government sent Lord Durham to investigate the causes He recommended self-government be granted and Lower and Upper Canada be re-joined in an attempt to assimilate the French Canadians Accordingly the two colonies were merged into the Province of Canada by the Act of Union 1840 with the capital at Kingston and Upper Canada becoming known as Canada West. Parliamentary self-government was granted in 1848 There were heavy waves of immigration in the 1840s and the population of Canada West more than doubled by 1851 over the previous decade As a result for the first time the English-speaking population of Canada West surpassed the French-speaking population of Canada East tilting the representative balance of power An economic boom in the 1850s coincided with railway expansion across the province further increasing the economic strength of Central Canada With the repeal of the Corn Laws and a reciprocity agreement in place with the United States various industries such as timber mining farming and alcohol distilling benefited tremendously A political stalemate between the French- and English-speaking legislators as well as fear of aggression from the United States during and immediately after the American Civil War led the political elite to hold a series of conferences in the 1860s to effect a broader federal union of all British North American colonies the British North America Act took effect on July 1 1867 establishing the Dominion of Canada initially with four provinces: Nova Scotia New Brunswick Quebec and Ontario the Province of Canada was divided into Ontario and Quebec so that each linguistic group would have its own province Both Quebec and Ontario were required by section 93 of the British North America Act to safeguard existing educational rights and privileges of Protestant and the Catholic minority Thus separate Catholic schools and school boards were permitted in Ontario However neither province had a constitutional requirement to protect its French- or English-speaking minority Toronto was formally established as Ontario's provincial capital Provincehood, The Distillery District holds the largest collection of Victorian industrial architecture in North America The city of Toronto originally formed as a result of its good harbour and the port was the source of the city's prosperity for most of its early history the oldest parts of the city are thus by the harbour with newer growth spreading out in all directions possible Around the harbour grew up a belt of industrial structures especially just east and west of downtown These included massive facilities such as Gooderham and Worts whiskey distillery and Massey Ferguson's farm equipment factories in the later half of the nineteenth century the railways became Toronto's main connection with the outside world and further industrial areas grew up around the freight lines in areas such as Weston and East York In the 1970s deindustrialization began to have a dramatic effect on Toronto By the 1990s almost all of the older factories by the waterfront were gone Some of the newer facilities further north still remain but are constantly disappearing Many of the more historic industrial buildings have been converted into lofts and offices Most have been demolished and in their place dozens of condominium towers have been erected by the lake shore There are also still large stretches of abandoned industrial land in the Port Lands district and other parts of Toronto awaiting a redevelopment plan Residential architecture. .
