The Economic Failure Of Regina's Economic Boom In Canada

The 1990s were important in Canadian history due to Canada’s military involvement in Rwanda, the Persian Gulf War and the Oka Crisis.

The depression years of 1929 - 1939 proved to be the worst, and some of the best years for Canada and Canadians. It was a time of extreme highs and lows socially, emotionally, and economically. It was a time that Canada came into her own being on the world wide stage.

The 1920’s, known for its fantastic times for the Canada. People were buying expensive things such as automobiles, toasters and investing in the stock market to make big money. Because of that people lived lavishly, until the 1930’s the Great Depression which affected many nations like Canada in many ways and made it the worst time to live. The 1930’s was the worst time to live in Canada because we had been affected Politically, Socially and Economically

Canada experienced several internal and external changes during the time period of 1945-1982; these changes were political, social and cultural. Firstly, a major internal political change occurred when Prime Minister John Diefenbaker introduced the first Bill of Rights to protect people’s equality before and under the law. A significant external political change occurred when the Canadian government signed the Autopact, which was a Canada-U.S. automotive products agreement that included conditional free-trade, creating a single North American market for automobiles and car parts. This agreement caused a huge shift in car sales and by 1968 40% of cars purchased in Canada were made in the U.S. An additional internal political change of major

The social community improvements of alberta as a result of the oil sands. The albertan government committed around 2.5 billion dollars in fixing up the communities of alberta as a result of the oil sands making so much money(Alberta government,march 15 2013). Some examples of this are the 1 billion in road projects, 241 million in building new neighbourhoods, and 103 million in wastewater treatment and to improve the old ones(Alberta government,march 15 2013). Air is rated good 99% of the time, drinking water consistently meets the the guidelines for canadian drinking water(Alberta government,march 15 2013). Which means the quality of life is good in the oilsands region. In conclusion the oil sands affect the communities of that region positively, by bringing in enough money to make improvements to the infrastructure.

The unemployment rose from 0.8 percent to 5.3 percent. In January there was an employment rate of 14,000 which is the highest since September 2011, according to Statistics Canada. Canadian economist predicted there would be a 5,000 net loss nationally, however the numbers turn out much lesser than their prediction, there was a net loss of 1,000 nationally. Also as more job seekers enter the Canadian market, the unemployment rate went higher from 6.6 percent to 6.8 percent. In February, Full time employment started to climb back to 34,000 but Part time employment dropped severely to 35,000, according to Statistics Canada. Furthermore, resource sector lost 17,000, and manufacturing lost 20,000. On the other hand, Construction gained 17,000 jobs and service 23,000. Also, provincially Quebec added 17,000 jobs compared to Ontario which added 14,000. In January, the Bank of Canada cut its benchmark rate to 0.75. This was done as insurance against the impact of falling oil prices. Since 2014 prices for crude oil has been cut in half due to there is lots of supply let and a shrinking global demand. Hence, oil and gas producers plan to cut thousands of jobs and Provincial and Federal government revenues are likely to fall by billion dollars. Nonetheless, Bank of Canada predicts Canadian economy will expand in

Canada faced dramatic changes through the decades of the 1960’s and 1970’s, but in particular the province of Quebec. In 1959, Quebec Premier Maurice Duplessis died, this marked the beginning of the Quiet Revolution. Duplessis was the Union Nationale leader and the party had controlled Quebec for decades until shortly after Duplessis’ death, a provincial election was held where the Liberals, led by Jean Lesage, had won the vote. The Liberals started moving away from the Catholic ideologies, traditions were being shifted and a transformed society was taking over the province of Quebec. Lesage was famously quoted in 1962 “There is no doubt in my mind; it’s now or never that we must become masters in our own home.” which became the Liberals

The Great Depression was a time of great economic problems for all of Canada. By staying out of the situation with unemployment the federal government contributed to fiscal collapse in the four western provinces and hundreds of municipalities. From 1932 onward, Western provinces obtain status of being on the the brink of bankruptcy. Saskatchewan prices became the lowest ever in recorded history. Oil prices elevating made it hard to pay for gas that cars required. Cars regressed back into horses due to the affordability.

Societal Change contributes to an ever changing society in Canada. Two distinct adaptations that contribute to this developing society include Immigration and Equality. Immigration was almost non-existent in 1939, with Canada being a largely white settler dominion. As the years progressed, Immigration began to increase until Canada moved to become a multicultural, multiracial society at its current stage in 2017. By 2039, I would expect Canada to be even more multicultural, taking into account the Syrian Refugee crisis, many more refugees will be coming to Canada, thus influencing this idea of more racially diverse community. Equality between sexes was also something that contributed to this changing society in Canada. Women moved from being

The Canadian economy grew to an impressive scale during the 1910’s and 20’s but this was due to the country being established. Agriculture and tradesman ship were encouraged to grow so that the country did not have to rely on the imports from other countries. During the Great War it was very common to stockpile almost every item you could obtain. The war was initially intended to be a short lived one but Canadian became increasingly unsure during these times purchased everything that they could. Then the war ended but the demand for products had declined. If demand decreases then so will the price of the product. Those who profit off selling the products have reduced so much that they are no longer profitable and in most cases it is easier

Debate whether or not Britain would be able to defend Hong Kong if Japan were to attack.

“I have been unemployed for 26 months. I am married and have three children, all sick, ages 4 years, 2 and a half years and 14 months. We have lost our home and furniture… We are hungry and desperate. We cannot hold out any longer” (Mennill). This was the way many people felt during the worst economic disaster in Canada, the Great Depression. During the 1930s, the depression caused people to lose everything, driving some to commit suicide. People were jobless, homeless and seemingly without a way out. The causes of the Great Depression were the “buy now, pay later” mindset that many Canadians adopted at that time, Canada’s dependence on primary industries and the overproduction of goods.

Since universal suffrage, women have made tremendous economic and social progress in Canada. Canada has been called "a world leader in the promotion and protection of women's rights and gender equality," (Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada). Yet a hundred years after universal suffrage, gender disparity continues to exist in Canada. Gender disparity is evident in the political, economic, and social spheres. Political disparity refers to the lack of adequate representation of women in local, provincial, and federal politics, resulting in continued political disenfranchisement and a lack of attention being paid to remedying the situation. Economic disparity refers to unequal pay between men and women in the labor market, economic dependency of women, and differential degrees of wealth and poverty. Social disparity refers to gender bias, sexism, and other sociological factors. Although Canada continues to rank relatively high in terms of most measures of gender parity, the nation can and should do more to ensure political, economic, and social equality.

“Luckily, we got into a position by 2008 that we could deal with recession. We’ve done a lot of smart things. Can we do things better? Sure. But when you compare things to where they were 20 years ago, I think we should be proud-and not afraid of saying ‘look, people can learn some things from us.’” Almost every Canadian is proud of what Canada has been capable of doing over the past 20 years. Some reason that Canada is the best place in the world is opportunity, connection with nature, education and equality. Canada offers brilliant career opportunities for parents and for students who have graduated from high school or university. Canadians have a very strong bond between them and the nature in Canada because they consider nature as a human
