    Newfoundland Railway!

    • 1077 Words

    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.…

    Immigration plays a big role in Montreal’s political and urban geography. Montreal is the primate city of Quebec. The Quebecois work extremely hard on language preservation and maintaining their cultural identity. French is the primary language spoken in Quebec. The Quebecois have the lowest birthrate in all of France. Quebec faces a major problem. They need to bring in immigrants to keep their culture alive, but their culture is also changing by letting in all of these immigrants. Quebec is divided into two areas where there are the English on one side and the French on the other side. The English pose a major threat to the Quebecois. The Quebecois realize that guarding their language is the only way to preserve their culture. In attempts…

    Canada’s geography is very diverse and the location of natural resources and the density of population are positively correlated. Take the St. Laurence river for example, where the historic development of industry has taken place. It is consider a natural transport corridor because it traverses the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario and forms part of the international boundary between Ontario and New York in the United States (wikipedia.org 2012). The river for a long period of time was the only means of transportation and to this day is still the cheapest. The qualities of this area make it so densely populated since opportunity of work and wealth are found here. The dense population of this area that was created because of the river, also coincides with the focus of political party leaders in order to gain votes to win elections. As a result, this becomes a chain; the more naturally gifted the area, the more population and therefore more political importance.…

    While Toronto frequently fails to overcome Chicago in these respects, it has the advantage in having a lower murder rate and generally being a safer city. Because of this, Toronto can concentrate its efforts on branding itself as a more peaceful city that is ultimately more family friendly to the average prospective visitor. Boston has been similarly successful with international needs in a way that Toronto has not. It also has a stronger public transportation system and more airports for more increased efficiency with tourism traffic. Nevertheless, Toronto can focus on its strengths over Boston in having more international corporate headquarters already in place and generally having a higher quality of living, such as in having a smoking ban in public…

    Canada In The Late 1800's

    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…

The Vancouver Olympics used many First Nations’ symbols and mythical creatures for mascots. Though my family actively participated in the festivities of the 2010 winter Olympics, we were not aware of the past and ongoing violence against the First Nations. Though the 2010 winter Olympics gave many aboriginal groups the opportunity to showcase their art and culture but the aboriginal culture was still commodified through the numerous souvenirs in every gift shop around the city. Many of the group’s problems were put under the carpet for the…

    Canada as a nation-state traces its evolution from the dispossession, racism, genocide and displacement of Indigenous peoples, lands and territories by European settlers and colonialists, mainly coming from Britain and France during the 15th century onwards. In a global context, settler-colonialism in present-day Canada was similar to the European conquest and colonial practices all over the world as there was a general trend and attempts of annihilating the Indigenous population. This overall impacted the cultures, traditions and social, political and economic organizations of Indigenous peoples. It is estimated that at the start of European settlement in Canada in the 15th century, there were around 350,000 to 500,000 and up to estimates…
