The Importance Of The Railway In Canada

Today marks an important day for all Canadians. British Canada has finally been united by the "Fathers of Confederation" and is now officially known as Canada. After almost a century, it is still hard to believe that Canada was once merely called the “British Colonies.” United, Canada has a sense of identification and much more vigor. Before the 1860s, confederation was not of importance. Although due to fear of the United States, problems between the divided British colonies, and belief that

The three pictures that I chose to discuss are the pictures of the Komagata Maru, the workers of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and the residential school. I chose these pictures because they were important moments that shaped Canadian history. The Komagata Maru has historic significance because it represents a period of Canadian history where we were xenophobic, racist, and had exclusionary immigration policies. The Komagata Maru was designed to test of Canadian immigration policies, as the passengers

Unlike Warkentin, Bone describes a

made up of many different people and events. Many different individuals who helped shape Canada today bare the cover, as well as different objects that represent different events. Near the top of the textbook, right near the title, there is a British flag. Britain had a gargantuan impact on Canadian history, as Canada was a British colony and Britain continues to influence Canada today. For example, in Canada we often use British spelling instead of American spelling, like the words colour, instead

is currently an assistant professor of History at Cape Breton University with plenty of knowledge in the history of business elites and capitalism with an emphasis on the history of Atlantic Canada. The credibility that Nerbas holds is beyond suitable for writing a piece on the history of business in Canada and his PhD in Canadian History can show for it. Previous publications and journals that Nerbas has produced, justifies the validity of content in Dominion of Capital: The Politics of Big Business

The Railway Connecting a Country Columbia became Canada sixth province in 1871 (Library and Archives Canada, 2009). An essential point in persuading the province to enter the Confederation was a promise to build the railway; this railway would connect to the Pacific coast as well as the rest of the country. Cutting through the Rocky Mountains was one of the most difficult parts of building the Canadian Pacific Railway. At the time, there were several reasons to employee Chinese immigrant workers

Rome vs Canada in Civil Service The purpose of a civil service is to serve the people, the population of the country or empire. The Roman and Canadian civil service both have their similarities and they both have their differences. Their similarities and differences both are discussed below. The first and the foremost thing taken into consideration in determining an empire or country as succesful is their transport methods and routes. Transport of goods, information and means for people to travel

these two instances to drive Macdonald’s Conservatives and Chrétien’s Liberals out of office (Morton, 2005). Greed played an important role in the Pacific scandal because Macdonald put his own wishes and desires before considering what was best for Canada. Chrétien did not outwardly express greed but he handed the money for the program to his lead Quebec Minister who then acted immorally with Public Works (define) to redistribute the finances (Morton, 2005). In reference to the factors that affected

Chinese Canadians Canada is known for being the country filled with all different type of people from all around the world. The community that I have chosen to look in depth is Canadian Chinese. The demographics for this community are the majority of Chinese population residing in Canada was born outside the country, 60% of the Chinese population has no religious affiliation, and 89% of Chinese population has strong knowledge in one of Canada’s national language. The importance of these demographics

The importance of British investors to the actualization of Canadian confederation in 1867 has been interpreted and analyzed by Andrew Smith in his detailed book “British Businessmen and Canadian Confederation”. Throughout this book, Andrew Smith explains how British businessmen and other factors influenced the decision to accept confederation. During the 1840’s, Britain made a drastic shift to free trade and announced that it would no longer be favouring their colonies in trade, which in turn brought
