In nineteenth-century Toronto, people took to the streets to
express their jubilation on special occasions, such as the 1860
visit of the Prince of Wales and the return in 1885 of the local
Volunteers who helped to suppress the Riel resistance in the
North-West. In a contrasting mood, people also took to the streets
in anger to object to government measures, such as the Rebellion
Losses bill, to heckle rival candidates in provincial election
campaigns, to assert their ethno-religious differences, and to
support striking workers. Expressive Acts examines instances of
both celebration and protest when Torontonians publicly displayed
their allegiances, politics, and values. The book illustrates not
just the Victorian city's vibrant public life but also the intense
social tensions and cultural differences within the city. Drawing
from journalists' accounts in newspapers, Expressive Acts
illuminates what drove Torontonians to claim public space, where
their passions lay, and how they gave expression to them.
