Since the 19th Century, women in Canada have fought political, legal, and social battles to find their place in Canadian society. From starting out in small, local organizations, to legal battles in the Supreme Court, Canadian women have come a long way. Unfortunately, it took a long time for many people to adapt to the changing roles of women, which made women still feel unequal compared to men. It is really striking to think that at one point society questioned if women could even be considered persons, just a small sample of the many changes women had to face through the course of history. This paper will analyze these changes experienced by Canadian women in that time period and how it affected their everyday lives.

Independence, the state of being free from outside control, and not subject to another’s authority. The 1920s and 1930s were a time for Canada to leave its British roots behind and forge its own identity, as well as take control of all matters relating to the preservation of the country and its people. However, this was not the case. Canada, although receiving some leeway from the British, remained a dependent country under the thumb of outside forces due to the fact that they were still under the British North American Act, thereby not having their own constitution, as well as the English monarch remaining as the head of state, and because it moved its economic dependence off the shoulders of one nation and unto another’s. Although the Chanak Affair showed that Canada’s military was no longer obligated to fight

Isolationism was a very important topic during the times before Canada. Isolationism is the policy where a country avoid alliances and affairs with foreign countries (“ Isolationism”), in this case it was Canada distancing themselves because of how insignificant they were in the League of Nations, its gaining of autonomy made it physically detached and the Great Depression intensified it (“Isolationism”). The listed factors caused isolationism which delayed Canada’s participation in the war. The reason to why it was such a significant topic to Canadians in the late 1930’s is the outcome of their decision, they can chose to help and try to defeat the Axis Powers to secure peace or continue to wait until the they attack Canada, and by that

Former prime minister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, believed greatly in what he thought Canada was to become. “The nineteenth century was the century of the United States. I think that we can claim that is it Canada that shall fill the twentieth century. “ was said by Laurier and his words passed almost without notice at the time. However, it did not take long before his words had somehow been transformed into the most famous phrase in Canadian history, “The twentieth century belongs to Canada.” His words showed great confidence and pride in the actions that Canada was supposedly to take to fulfill his vision. He believed that Canada would fill the century, not in size or military might but in progress, growth, and quality of life. Ultimately, he

In the source the author clearly believes that the events of the past should not be dwelled upon, even if they have negative consequences in today’s society. The speaker believes that the current generation is not accountable for the actions of their ancestors, and the legacies of these actions should simply be accepted into the modern world. There are those, such as the owners of large corporations, who would embrace this perspective, because their focus is to continue to secure and grow their companies in the future, not consider past events that may affect their position today. Old corporations, such as the Hudson Bay Company, likely have helped shape some of the legacies of historical globalization in Canada, but their focus is maintaining

Over the past 200 years, there is an emergence and existence of the working class in Canada which has initiated the capitalist infrastructure (comprising the wage earners and the entrepreneurs) in Canada and also involving the struggles of the Canadian workers to claim their necessities and distress. Being the most difficult parts of the twentieth century, there had been very few people who had not been affected by the Great Depression. The working class in Canadian Society had been adversely affected during the time of Second World War and had even faced the repercussions of the War. With

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

Simply by having the want to make a difference in the lives of others, and the courage to take action. Within this essay you will read about 2 Canadian pioneers.

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 fact that many of the Saskatchewan farmers, the core of the party’s support base were also either of British descent, or identified as being part of a British Saskatchewan, made it easy for the farmers to identify with a political party modeled on after the British party organization and British socialist and labour ideology as the foundation for the party’s ideology. The farmers were also culturally, for all intense and purposes, British, and recognized, even in the economically prosperous times of the 1920s, that they needed the sort of reform that the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation advocated: “We need… co-operation in each class, leading to complete co-operation between classes… we all [need] to all awake to the need of working together for the good of the whole community.” Not only is this eerily similar to the party’s literature of the 1930s and 1940s, but it also illustrates the class consciousness of the farmers, as well as the urban and rural divide. This was also adopted from British socialist and Labour parties and again found a receptive audience among those, urban and rural, anxious for social and economic

By the 1840s, Canada’s economy was still largely agrarian, even though the two key ingredients for industrialization—an available labour force and a transportation infrastructure—were in place.

In the tenth chapter of his text, Fitzpatrick highlights the need for assimilation and the Canadianization of the frontiersmen. He states that, the greatest problem of the Canadian society is based on the challenges in assimilating the diverse foreign population. According to his work, this can effectively be down through the presence of the university and the work of the “labourer-instructor.” The labourer-teacher served as a locus for teaching the English language and the cultural norms of Canada to the frontiersmen. Fitzpatrick believed that the labourer-teachers should act as role model for the frontiersmen and assist in developing good Canadian citizens.

The effect of the revival of traditional rural beliefs during ca. 1979 to 1984 is notable to the peasant-workers. Even the rituals discontinued to be performed, the philosophy behind transformed into strings of consciousness and self-identification whose essence is firmly kept -- the inseparability of family and the safety-shelter nature of the rural land. When peasant-workers confront unfamiliar or alien treatments in the cities, their potent emotion of land, of hometown, and of family outbursts. Traditional practices faded, but the traces stayed. Urban environment does not make the peasant-workers secular; instead, it makes them more “religious” in terms of the returned sense of land affiliation. Economic incentives drive peasants
