“…In fact, having visited Antigonish on a number of occasions, Walsh concluded that the bishop's habits were "those of the plainest farmer." 28 When the Scottish prelate died in 1851, the ultramontanes were determined that the Catholic culture of the "heather" be removed from Nova Scotia, and the man they chose for this task was Colin Francis MacKinnon.

Yet, despite the philosophical complexities, historians have explained the episode within the context of the partisan battles of the period. 4 Politics, writes Cameron's biographer, R.A.
