Following the passage of the Rebellion Losses Bill, landmark that confirmed the

concept of Responsible Government in Canada, rioting broke out in Montreal

(meeting location of the Legislative Assembly at the time) by angry mobs who

opposed it, leading to the burning of the Parliament Building.

heritage/timeline/burning-parliament-canada-1849

The St. Anne's Market building lodging the Legislative Council and Assembly of

Canada was burned down by Tory rioters as a protest against the Rebellion Losses

Bill while the members of the Legislative Assembly were sitting in session. There

were protests right across British North America. The episode is characterized by

divisions in pre-Confederation Canadian society concerning whether Canada was

the North American appendage of the British Empire or a nascent sovereign

nation.
