Who said rebellions?

There were problems in Upper Canada, political. Settlers in Upper Canada were discontent about land distribution. For the most part about the clergy and crown reserves, the land speculators that were part of the Family Compact, and absentee landlords that overpriced and tied up prime land. The settlers were also unhappy about the building of the roadways. William Lyon Mackenzie was a radical reformer with strong beliefs, he bought a newspaper called The Colonial Advocate. He wrote an article about the government and Family Compact. As an outcome his office was investigated and trashed my members of the Family Compact. So Mackenzie sued. Later he was elected and the leader of the reform governement. In Lower Canada though, the problems were much more serious.
