British Columbia And Prairie West

The Great Depression was a terrible point in Canadian history, and for most of the world. It was a point in time where thousands of people lost their jobs, and even lost their homes because of the depressed economy. Business was booming in the early 1920s, but when companies tried to expand, and therefore issued stocks, the economy was thrown off. Some investors sold their stocks for high prices, and as a result, everyone else followed. With less of a demand, stock prices became fractions of what they used to be, and on October 29, 1929, the New York Stock Exchange collapsed, followed by the Toronto and Montreal Stock exchanges. This collapse of the stock markets caused a depression like which the world had never seen before. It was

Canada in the 1930s was in a state of economic depression and the people, notably living in the west, were finding it difficult to secure a source of income. R.B. Bennett was elected as Prime Minister by Canadians in 1930 on the basis that he would end unemployment, but by 1932 his government was seemingly overwhelmed by the persistence of the Depression and was becoming

One of such events that affected Canada economically is the Drought in the Dust Bowl. The Prairies became the worst place to live in Canada because the price of wheat has dropped from $1.60 per bushel to $.38 per bushel and because of that many farmers abandoned their farms to look for other jobs. Drought returned in 1933 and was five years long with limited amount rainfall which also caused the topsoil to turn into dust and caused dust storms due to too powerful winds. Because of the right conditions thousands and thousands of grasshoppers were born and damaged 80% of crops that remained. It was bad for Canada because it just lost the people who produced on of its primary products wheat and now the Canada has no choice but to buy wheat from other countries and those can price it for whatever they want because Canada is in need. Secondly, the Stock Market Crashed on October 29, 1929 “Black Tuesday.” Many people invested large amounts of money into the stock market because as the value of the stock increased the more money they made when they sold it and to many it became like an easy way to make money. For example, Canadian Marconi, a radio company should have sold at $1 but sold for $28 because the market value inflated. Canada was affected by this because when the Stock Market crashed people who invested hugely into stocks lost large amounts of because they sold them for a fraction of the what they purchased it. People took

The Great Depression also is known as the Dirty Thirties happened in the 1930s. It left Canada and the world in shock. Millions of Canadians were without jobs, and many became homeless. Countries across the world were affected by the Depression, such as the U.S.A. The USA was hit the hard which affected Canada. USA rely on Canada for fish and wheat when the U.S economy goes down Canada suffers. The U.S didn’t buy any more fish,wheat,minerals,pulp and paper from Canada. Many countries put high tariffs on goods,trading slowed down,people had to pay back their credit money they had borrowed from the government.Farmers were hit the hardest in Canada because if you could not pay for the land you would get evacuated. Droughts and grasshoppers infection started to happen which brought more suffering. Meat prices went up,some stores were closed down,Immigrant dropped 90% violence and crime went up. Men that didn’t have houses were sent to reliefs camps,the military setup 20 000 men to work sometimes works was useful,other times they would make work projects. They got 3 daily meals, work clothes,medical care, and 20 cents a day.The men would work 44 hours of cleaning brush,building roads,planting trees and constructing the public building.On April 1935, 500 men went on strike for better living conditions,more pay and fewer hours this has been just like the Winnipeg general strike. This depression made Canada what it is today,the economy is in better shape,people can find jobs and immigrants are taking over

Canada’s economy boosted immensely after WW2. Due to Canada’s boost in the industrial economy and it’s status in WWII there were many job opportunities available. Canada’s most important sector in its economy was agriculture. Canada supplied many resources and raw materials to the war resulting in an economy boom, however they still had their debt of over $10 million dollars. The need of many supplies for the war had resulted in mass productivity of many factories across the country.

During the time, Northern Europeans settled in Prairies. The federal government encourage by creating the “Homestead Act”, an act to allow any American or freed slave to have their own property; such as 160 acres of land. In common to the Railroads, it helped provide many people jobs and brought civilization to many areas that were abandoned before. As the railroads linked together from East to West, people also shipped out raw materials, and goods to other states. Many challenges affected families on the Great Plains such as, protecting the crops against Cattle herds; many farmers try to avoid them getting near the crops so it won’t be eaten, or can develop a form of disease. Also, dry seasons: which can convert the land into a dry desert;

During 1870, Canada started building its empire which included Manitoba joining Canada in 1870. The Manitoba Act was passed which had many discrimination issues over race, class and gender. The promise from the federal government to build railway persuaded British Colombia to enter Confederation in 1871. As settlement was given top priority, the Canadian Government required railway to take the people to the Northwest Territories. The prairie region was surveyed for the white settlement and building railway in that region. Many factors such as new technology, agricultural machinery which produced large wheat crops and capital played a vital role which ended the cultural life of the Native people and Metis. In the year 1885, the Northwest

Although they bear some superficial similarities, the differences between America and Canada are striking. There are many differences between Canada and the United States such as ethnicity, geography, population, politics, and many more. Of all the differences the focus of this paper will be geography. Geographical differences can be seen through the land of the United States and Canada.

The Great Depression that occurred in the 1930s marks one of the lowest points in Canadian history. The country struggled in many ways and survival became especially difficult. The Prairies were hit hard during this crisis. Relief camps designed to aid were demanding and severe. Along with this, poverty became awfully common throughout the decade. During the Great Depression, Canadians were faced with a variety of challenges including the Dustbowl that occurred in the Prairie provinces, harsh conditions in relief camps, and immense poverty.

Veering away from Laurier`s classic laisse-faire economic idea, Bennett introduces Canada to Keynesian economics, as Laurier`s version was deemed unsuccessful with dealing with the depression. Bennett`s `new deal` is Canada`s version of U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt`s `new deal. ` The deal endorses progressive taxation, regulations on working conditions, unemployment insurance, health and accident insurance, an old-age pension plan, and agricultural support. For those few who are employed, work week maximums and a regulated minimum wage can improve the lives of men and their families. The Wheat regulation board was created to equalize the price of wheat throughout the Canada. Although controversial, Bennett`s approach to dealing with the depression surly isn’t something Canada has experienced

Canada had it worse during The Great Depression than any other country. However, in Canada, which province had it the worse? That province would be called Saskatchewan. Each province had it pretty bad, but Saskatchewan recently went through a drought, grasshopper plague and huge dust storms. Over 250 000 people left the province during The Great Depression. There was very limited food and shelter. Hail would kill any crops the farmers would try to grow. The prairies we’re covered in bleached cow bones from either the farmer killing it or it dying of starvation. The relief cost for all of Saskatchewan was about $62 million. Well, $62 million is more than its total revenue. Almost everyone was relying on the government for food, shelter, warmth and water.

Canada has long been a nation of unparalleled development and evolution. Sir Wilfrid Laurier recognised that the late 19th century was to mark a period of great change in the newborn Canada. Under Sir Laurier’s leadership Canada made great strides towards economic prosperity and greater international recognition, prompting him to remark that “Canada will fill the twentieth century.” Though Sir Laurier never lived to see whether or not the young nation of Canada fulfilled his expectations, his prediction came true, though perhaps not in every dimension. Despite its strong agricultural and manufacturing sectors, Canada’s economy fizzled towards the end of the twentieth century. However, a juvenile Canada did make a name for itself throughout

Modern Canada was introduced to the global village of communication through fields like the internet and radio, allowing for a broader area of global discussion that could bring about ideas as to how Canada can deal with its geographic limitations. While the populated areas of Canada have advanced over time, it enabled the collection of knowledge over the country through study where the most livable and preferred conditions are often shaped through construction to fit the needs of modern Canadians. However, there are still limitations laid about over Canada, such as the locations and occasional colliding of tectonic plates as its varied landscape of regions can lead to a few changes that need to be made to support an area for human life,

Social structure is the system of levels within a society where people are divided, especially economically or by profession. For example, after the Aryans migrated to India in about 1500 BCE, they created a social caste system. This system consisted of four main categories: brahmins (priests), kshatriyas (warriors and aristocrats), vaishyas (peasants and merchants), and shudras (serfs). Those who worked in the streets were considered Untouchables and were not a part of the caste system. As labor specialization became more specific, guilds, a corporate body that supervised prices and wages in a given industry and provided for each other and their families, of people with similar work began forming. These guilds worked as jati, or sub castes,
