Loup-Garou

Traditional tales about the Loup-Garou are found in French Canadian and European folklore. The Loup-Garou is also called lycanthrope or werewolf. A Loup-Garou is generally believed to a person who can change into animal form, often as a wolf. In French Canadian folklore, the Loup-Garou is often a dog. It may also take the form of a calf or small ox, a pig, a cat or even an owl. See also Oral Literature in French.

Lower Canada

Lower Canada was a British colony from 1791 to 1840. Its geographical boundaries comprised the southern portion of present-day Quebec. In 1791, Britain divided the Province of Quebec into Upper Canada and Lower Canada. (See: Constitutional Act 1791.) Britain had followed a similar policy of territorial division twice before. Prince Edward Island was detached from Nova Scotia in 1769. The provinces of Cape Breton and New Brunswick were created in 1784 in response to the wave of Loyalist immigration (which also occurred in Quebec). In 1841, Upper Canada and Lower Canada were renamed Canada West and Canada East, respectively. They were united as the single colony of the Province of Canada.

Lumber and Wood Industries

Canada’s lumber and wood industries convert logs into various products, from lumber to wood chips. Softwood, derived from coniferous trees, supplies most of the manufacturers in these industries and is cut primarily in British Columbia. The remainder of the industry is supplied by hardwood (from deciduous trees, e.g., birch, maple, oak) found mainly in southern Ontario and Quebec and the Maritimes. Though technically not hardwood, Alberta produces large volumes of aspen and poplar. According to Natural Resources Canada, the forest sector contributed $33.4 billion to Canada’s nominal gross domestic product and employed 212,660 people in 2022. (See also Pulp and Paper Industry; Forest Harvesting; Timber Trade History; Forestry.)

Lupine

Lupine (Latin lupus, "wolf," from the belief that it robs the soil) is the common name for several annual or perennial herbaceous plant species in the pea family (Leguminosae or Fabaceae; see legume) genus Lupinus. Lupines are characterized by palmately compound leaves (i.e., leaflets that radiate from a central point) and showy flower spikes. These traits make lupines admirable ornamentals (e.g., "Russell Hybrid" lupines).
