"Wilton convincingly illustrates that politics in Upper Canada was not just the domain of the elite and that political debate was not confined to the Assembly ... She has mined the newspapers and the Colonial Office records thoroughly ... There is no other work that considers Upper Canadian political culture from this vantage point." Jane Errington, Department of History, Royal Military College.;"A straight-forward political analysis of petitioning movements in Upper Canada ... Wilton offers new insights into the politics of Upper Canada and some of the major actors." David Mills, Department of History and Classics, University of Alberta
