The book Dominion of Capital: The Politics of Big Business and the Crisis of the Canadian Bourgeoisie, 1914-1947 was written by 34 year old, Don Nerbas.

"We must cherish our inheritance. We must preserve our nationality for the youth of our future. The story should be written down to pass on." (Louis Riel, 1884).

They desired “municipalization of Land and local government” according to the Fabian Parliamentary League’s Tract, The True Radical Programme (1887, p. 7).
