Excerpt from Canada and Its Provinces, Vol. 5: A History of the Canadian People and Their Institutions; United Canada, 1840-1867 Our period Opens with Lord Sydenham. Under him Canadian parties begin to assume coherence; gradually an administration, with separate heads Of departments, takes the place Of the chaotic council Of pre-rebellion days. But a cabinet must consist not merely of heads of departments, but of heads of departments working together in unity, carrying out a systematic policy. 'it doesn't matter a damn what we think, gentlemen, ' said Lord Melbourne on a famous occasion, but we must all say the same thing.' A cabinet requires a leader, and alike in Canada and in Great Britain history proves the necessity Of a prime minister. To give this keystone to the arch, Sydenham was forced to become his own prime minister, and we thus have the para dox that the governor who introduced responsible govern ment is also the governor whose personal interference was most marked, whose personal predominance was most absolute.
