چکیده

Les services d’hygiène publique de Toronto, qui avaient un caractère sporadique avant la Confédération, devinrent de plus en plus structurés de 1869 à 1890. Cependant, les transformations provoquèrent constamment des conflits entre les partisans de la libre entreprise et de l’expansion économique et ceux de l’intervention publique et de l’amélioration des services. Le Dr William Canniff, premier médecin des services d’hygiène publique de Toronto rémunéré et occupé à plein temps, fut l’un des protagonistes du débat. Les tentatives qu’il fit pour enrayer les maladies et améliorer la qualité de la vie urbaine étaient battues en brèche par des conseillers municipaux partisans de l’expansion économique et par les électeurs de ceux-ci, mais soutenues par les réformistes — médecins et autres — de la classe moyenne, ainsi que par les gouvernements fédéral et provincial. Le jeu des forces en présence reproduisait l’expérience déjà vécue par les partisans passionnés de l’hygiène publique en Grande-Bretagne et aux États-Unis, et laissait présager l’évolution des autres villes canadiennes. Mais Canniff et ses partisans se révélèrent incapables de concilier bien public et intérêt de l’entreprise privée, léguant cette tâche à leurs successeurs du XXe siècle.
