Canadian History 10 Final Culminating Task

[pic] Sir Wilfred Laurier (7th Prime Minister of Canada)

In a speech made in Toronto on October 14, 1904, Laurier made the following prediction:

“Let me tell you, my fellow countrymen, that the twentieth century shall be the century of Canada and of Canadian development. For the next 75 years, nay for the next 100 years, Canada shall be the star towards which all men who love progress and freedom shall come.” P. 8

• Let’s parse the quote above • For the whole course, we will be investigating to what extent was Laurier’s prediction accurate. To what extent was there change or continuity in regards to Laurier’s vision?

The Culminating Tasks

You will be responsible for the following items:

Part A: Historical Analysis Tracker (5 %)

You will keep track of events and evidence which supports or contradicts Laurier’s prediction by organizing a Historical Analysis Tracker based on the following topics:

Social - Issues that relate to society and people - Examples: quality of life, population demographics, gender issues, ethnic and cultural issues, class issues, Canadian identity
Political - Issues that relate to government - Examples: Foreign and domestic policy, autonomy and independence, trans national concerns, laws, constitutional issues
Economic - Issues that relate to the economy - Examples: jobs, production of goods and services, worker’s rights, foreign investment, laws and international agreements -
