The Loyalist Papers is taking an end-of-year pause. The project will resume on January 20, 2026.

The new Explore feature offers concepual entry points into the canon – from enduring First Principles of governance to pivotal Turning Points in history. A full tag index is also available for those who prefer to browse freely.

The Loyalist Papers now features two thematic collections: the Signature Series, highlighting Our most emblematic essays, and the Dominion Series, focused on Canadian constitutional themes. These living collections offer readers new ways to explore the canon – both are now accessible under "The Papers" in the main menu.

Welcome! You've stumbled on The Loyalist Papers, an upcoming series of meditations on the meaning of freedom, democracy, and good governance in the twenty-first century. Ours is a four-year-long reading project based on the set of American essays known as The Federalist Papers – re-read in the context of contemporary North American politics.
