Cpr Inlet Case Study
A: Vancouver

1. Vancouver was a key point in the CPR's worldwide transportation system because of its location. Vancouver is right on the water, particularly Burrard Inlet. This inlet was home (and still is) to a very productive port. Goods were able to be shipped across Canada into Vancouver and then loaded onto cargo ships and transported throughout the rest of the world. The CPR affected the development of Burrard Inlet greatly. It made it a very popular place. It was the center of worldwide trade and transportation. People moved to Vancouver. It became a very industrielle and profitable city thanks to the CPR.

    Newfoundland Railway!

    Of course, the railway has a particular mystique for Newfoundlanders as well. The line connected the major bays to each other, and the old headland "fishing capitals" to the new towns of the interior. The railway provided substantial employment and created a brotherhood of railwaymen as well as a network of railway families. It also provided the first overland link to the mainland. The saga of the line's construction across the interior and its continued operation in the face of enormous difficulties was a source of national pride in Newfoundland. After Confederation with Canada in 1949 the railway continued as a symbol of Newfoundland's former independence. The construction era figures in our history much as the building of the great trans-continental lines does in the history of Canada and the United States: as both a milestone in the march of progress and an exercise in nation-building.…

    Waterways have dominated the Canadian economy since 1850. Several industries such as fur trading, fishing and lumbering are the dependent upon water transportation. Other industries such as wheat production, paper, and mining gained importance around the 1850’s.

    First, the Cold War spread fear amongst Canadians due to the constant threat of being bombed by the USSR. Also, Canada was not a good place for communists and socialist to live during the cold war time because of the injustice to them due to their political views. Lastly, the Cold War made the discrimination against women reappear. Today’s increase in hostility between russia and u.s.a has been called cold war II. the inability of the superpowers to solve global political conflicts, e.g syria, has resulted in a massive refugee crisis.

    Not only was this rail a positive influence, it was the biggest influence of the time period. This rail connected the east to the west; no other rail could do that. Although this rail was enormously popular in the beginning, the legacy of the Transcontinental Railroad has dimmed over the years. Although many trains are still used in other countries, the main option for land transportation is car. Airplanes have also trumped trains, but if a heavy load is needed most still depend on train. The transcontinental railroad is not in use today because most old railroads got ripped apart for the war effort. The transcontinental railroad deservers iconic status because without the transcontinental railroad people in the 1800s would still be hauling all these things in a carriage, and most of the cities would be considered “bad places to start a city” on carriage wouldn’t have been created. Back in this time period there were cars, but these cars weren’t nearly as fast as a train, and needed constant repair. So which one would you pick, more difficult, risky, and sketchy one thousand dollar route on boat or carriage or the easier more relaxed one hundred fifty dollar route on train?…

    World War I was a time that affected almost ever country or region in the world in one-way or another. The common wealth of Canada was no different. Although not located in Europe where the war was primarily fought, our dominion was still a major contributor to the war effort and fought valiantly in defending the ideals of democracy and a free world. Many of our soldiers lost their lives in various battles throughout the war but without their efforts the war may have swung Germanys way, causing more battles, a longer war, more money and eventually more lives.…

    These people, mostly referred to as “Settlers”, were not opulent and often appeared from Europe where not only were farmers decreasing, but economic hardships were also present in the lives of many people. But with a world-wide depression ended, Europeans could not have found a finer time to immigrate, but then. Although the settlers also had a choice to settle in Western portion of the United States where the top farmlands had already been occupied, they would’ve typically chosen to live in Canada due to higher quality land being available for no direct charge. Part of the Dominion Lands Act, though, included that the Settlers must homestead or farm on their land for three years before they could rightfully claim it as their own. This system was also present in the United States; therefore a few people were familiar with act. However, Many Settlers would consider this law being too difficult and would forsake their new life, causing them to move to urban areas. People who continued to homestead are part of the reason why Canada became a large producer of grain. Also, with Northwest mounted police being Established and Aboriginals settling on reserves, many immigrants thought of Canada being safe, especially after the fall of the Metis. With an increasing number of people migrating to the West, Roads and railways being built, towns starting to develop, trading centres being established, Western Canada expanded in a modicum of…
