Pierre Garneau (8 May 1823 – 23 June 1905) was a Canadian businessman and politician.

Biography

Born and educated in Cap-Santé, Lower Canada, the son of François-Xavier Garneau and Julie-Henriette Gignac, Garneau moved to Quebec City in 1839 to work as a clerk for a fancy-goods merchant. He eventually worked for his own importing wholesaler called Têtu et Garneau. He would later work for P. Garneau et Frère, and later still P. Garneau, Fils et Compagnie.

In 1870, he was elected as an alderman for Saint-Pierre ward. From 1870 to 1874 he was mayor of Quebec City. He was elected by acclamation to the Legislative Assembly of Quebec for the electoral district of Québec-Comté in an 1873 by-election. In 1874, he was the commissioner of agriculture and public works in the cabinet of Charles-Eugène Boucher de Boucherville. In 1876, he was appointed commissioner of crown lands. A Conservative, he was re-elected in the 1875 general election. He was defeated in the 1878 general election and was re-elected in the 1881 general election. He was defeated in 1886. In 1887, he was appointed to the Legislative Council of Quebec for the division of La Durantaye. He resigned in 1904.

He was a director of the Quebec and Gulf Ports Steamship Company, and of La Banque Nationale; president of the Quebec Street Railway Company; a government director of the North Shore Railway; and a member of the Quebec Board of Trade. He was a member of the canal commission in 1870.[1]

Plébiscites sous Napoléon III

Les plébiscites sous Napoléon III sont au nombre de cinq entre le coup d'État du 2 décembre 1851 et la défaite de Sedan du 1er septembre 1870. Le recours au plébiscite permet à l'empereur d’établir un lien direct avec le peuple. Il s'agit pour lui au moins d'avoir une simple majorité derrière lui que d'obtenir un rassemblement national sur son nom via le sujet qu'il soumet au plébiscite. Si trois de ces plébiscistes sont nationaux, deux d'entre eux concernant l'annexion de Nice ...

Barlow rail

Cross section of Barlow rail as used by Sydney Railway Company Barlow rail was a rolled rail section used on early railways. It has wide flaring feet and was designed to be laid direct on the ballast, without requiring sleepers. It was widely adopted on lightly trafficked railways, but was ultimately unsuccessful because of maintenance difficulties. It resembles the bridge rail used for Brunel's baulk road, but was of tapering form, rather than with the flat base of the heavier bridge rail in...
