Laurentian Thesis

The Laurentian thesis is an influential theory of Canadian history. It was developed by several historians in the early and middle decades of the 20th century. It posits that Canada’s development was a result of the economic exploitation of staple resources (e.g., fur, timber, wheat, etc.) by a merchant class living in the major centres along the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes. This system enabled the creation of both a transatlantic and a transcontinental market economy. The Laurentian thesis was a major influence on historians after the Second World War.
