Nova Scotia's Maritime History

Extending from the Atlantic in the east, to the Pacific in the west and northward into the Arctic Ocean, Canada is one of the most prosperous nations on Earth. This prosperity is represented by the voice that every citizen possesses thanks to the forefathers of Canada and the guaranteed rights and opportunities that the people of Canada rely on. As a nation, the pride, opportunity and freedom is not all Canada has to offer. Further, the natural beauty of Canada’s vast and beautiful lands come from various environments such as the Rocky Mountains, the tundra in the Arctic, and the farmland in the prairie's. In the great white North, having access to a universal healthcare system, celebrating cultural diversity of the people and the

The city of Halifax provokes the tragic memories of the 1977 Halifax Explosion (Halifax History Facts and Timeline, 2016). However, Halifax is the provincial capital of Nova Scotia and it is famous for its magnificent Atlantic coast. Also, Halifax has undergone huge urban development and economic growth and is now recognized as one of the largest coastal cities in Canada regarding its historical, physical, economic and cultural diversities.(62)

Overall, based on multiple influences Nova Scotia decided to reside in the American Revolution and stay neutral. Their lack of influence on the war was largely determined by spiritual revival, economic salvation and independent ideology. In our modern society most citizens would go to extraordinary lengths to protect loved ones, which is very similar to the Scotians. Some going against basic beliefs they ultimately chose to benefit themselves. Although not taking the risk may have eliminated the chance to create new identities and move into a new era built directly on their own

That being said the early century of eighteenth brought a substantial change happened to the French-speaking citizens of Acadia, in which today is called Nova Scotia and New Brunswick (BIG BOOK CITE PAGE 97) The Treaty of Utrecht was indorsed in 1713 and brought to an end the War of Spanish Succession between England and France. During this time of era, the economy of New France started to embellishment, which was never seen before. Afterwards it came to a clash of the imperial wars of England endeavored to sub stain the increasing rivalry of French settlers Meanwhile Canada during this time era, was a successful conflict to the French. But later, when the crammed of the British military power was brought, the masses defended Canada, and went into downfall, and which cause the colony to be enduringly. (ARTICLE TO CITE). France agreed to give up all of its entitlements to the areas around the Hudson Bay, Newfoundland, and Acadia. Treaty denied the France to maintain certain fishing rights in Newfoundland and the exact range of the Hudson Bay lands were not defined. Although both England and France were agreeable to peace, the outstanding issues were to lead to a renewal of hostilities with the

Reading the lecture notes and the sources it is certain to me that the history we have for Canada is very brief, and we are unsure of many things, because of the lack of information and sources from the 15th century and up. It is really hard to write a fulfilling and detailed historical analysis on something what is so unclear. Deficiency in legitimate records lead to different views on history and because the records Europeans wrote were not always clear on the groups they made contact with, so it is hard to made one straight forward

Welcome good friend to the brand new state of New Canada! What once was a corrupt country north of the center of the world (U.S.) is now the 55th state to the American Empire. The year is 2050, and almost five years since the ending of the Third World War. Five years post war and civilization is still in a state of recovery, which is why we bring Americans a piece of the past and a bit of familiarity with the grand opening of New Canada’s capitol building. We do this to honor the fallen and help Canadians assimilate into American Culture.

“More repairs to the lighthouse were in the works when the American Revolution intervened. In July 1775, Boston Harbor and the lighthouse were under the control of the British. On July 20, American troops under Major Joseph Vose landed at the lighthouse and took lamps, oil, and some gunpowder, and burned the wooden parts of the tower. After leaving the island they had to outrun an armed British schooner, and two Americans were wounded. An eyewitness described “the flames of the lighthouse ascending up to Heaven, like grateful incense, and the ships wasting their powder.”

In chapter 12 of Atlantic Canada A History; Margaret R. Conrad and James K. Hiller are trying to show the poor economic situation that the Maritimes and Newfoundland faced in between the first and second World Wars. The rest of North America seemed to be moving on and achieving economic success, but this was not the case for the Maritimes and Newfoundland. In this chapter Conrad and Hiller try to find the factors that affected the economy in the Maritimes and Newfoundland during this time. Conrad and Hillers research show that the Maritimes often had a lot of bad luck when it came to achieving economic success. Their research shows that Cape Breton and New Brunswick had potential for economic success through coal mining and selling fox pelts

More than 100 years ago Canada had been a small child, progressing through life trying to find its place in this vast world. During the time periods of 1914-1945, 1950-1970, and 1971- 1990, there have been many factors that have helped induce its growth including: recognition due to military achievements, its international relationship with the United States, and uniting as one country. Through these times of hardship and glory Canada has succeeded in finding its autonomous identity in the world, as a “middle power”.

This article is about the Newfoundland hurricane of 1175, and the affects it had on the environment. The hurricane killed about 4,000 people, and a large amount of those people were seamen from Ireland and Britain. The article goes on to explain how the hurricane is still not, and may never be fully understood, and how some of the questions about the hurricane, such as whether it came up on the east or west side of the Bermuda, have been left unanswered.

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.

When looking at the role of regionalism in forming Canada’s national identity, it plays an important role in the formation of Canada’s architectural and written history. For example, from coast to coast, the architecture of each region varies widely from each other, which exhibits how each landscape has shaped the way that region was formed (Thorsteinson, 2016). Additionally, regionalism is seen as a strategy used to define being Canadian, and in the words of Northrop Frye, “the question of Canadian identity… is not a ‘Canadian’ question at all, but a regional question” (Thorsteinson, 2016). Another role of regional identity in the formation of Canada is the symbolism of the Canadian flag, which presents a leaf from a maple tree as the national symbol of Canada (Dirks, 2017). Also, companies such as roots uses parts of Canadas landscape to present their products, such as beavers and landmarks like the Hudson’s Bay. However, Canada is also seen as having an identity crisis, and the differences encompassed within each region in Canada makes it difficult to be wholly inclusive when it comes to presenting Canada’s national identity (Dirks, Class 10, 2017). And yet, there seems to be several solid statements when it comes to portraying Canada’s identity through regionalism, such as Canada’s symbiotic relationship with nature as a whole. Subsequently, regionalism has emphasized Canada’s national identity as a landscape and region oriented nation, in comparison to the modern

Firstly, On May 31st, 1997 the 13 km Confederation Bridge was built. The Confederation Bridge was built to create a road to get from Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick to the mainland. Before the bridge was built people back then would take a ferry service from PEI to the mainland. ''The ferry has always been a barrier to the tourism market,'' said Ian David Hurst, general manager of the Prince Edward Hotel in Charlottetown it was dangerous to cross the water during the winter due to the ice and snow all around you. Building the Confederation Bridge helped boost PEI and New Brunswick's economy due to the increase in

“New France was not merely the settlement of a few fur traders.” The Acadians were “a pastoral-like people who once formed a proud nation in a land called Acadia.” Although falling under the jurisdiction of “New France,” the Acadians governed separately than the rest of the country and were an independent entity within New France. Today, “the Acadians are the French speaking population of the Canadian Maritime provinces,” and these are the Acadians that were not displaced during the expulsions, under British rule. Acadia’s beginnings, with the construction of Port Royal, could have marked the colony for success, but instead, led to a troubling conclusion for the European descendents. Through failed leadership, two

As the 20th century comes to an end, Canada is a transcontinental nation whose interests and representatives span the face of the globe and extend into every sphere of human behaviour. However this was not always the case. When the four colonies of British North America united to create Canada on July 1, 1867, the new country's future was by no means secure. Canada was a small country, with unsettled borders, vast empty spaces, and a large powerful neighbour, the United States. Confronting these challenges was difficult for the young country. Though Canada was independent in domestic matters, Britain retained control over its foreign policy. Over the next fifty or so years, Canada's leaders and its
