Question

How many Chinese labourers are estimated to have died?

Answer 1

Dynamite blasting tunnels and cliff-scalling

Answer 2

Chinese- $1.00/day, plus they paid for food, camping gear, and cooking supplies. Whites- $1.50-$2.00/day plus I'm assuming they had everything else provided to them.

Answer 3

A fixed fee charged to each Chinese person entering Canada. It was mean to discourage people from entering Canada after the completion of the CPR.

Answer 4

Chinese Immigration Act of 1923 which stopped Chinese immigration altogether as thought of WWI and communism in China.

Answer 5

Better: Created a more united Canada, helped the economy, convinced other to join Confederation which increased land area and helped prevent American expansion. Worse: Damaged relations with the FN and Metis and Inuit peoples, political scandals

Answer 6

Because, more than anything, the railway is credited with forming the nation of Canada because of how it united the country from "sea to sea".

Answer 7

He offered them exemption from military services as well as permitted them to have their own schools. I believe that he did this because of the massive amount of French speakers coming to the West. He wanted to increase of population of non French speakers. They were also probably good farmers and they believed in pacifism, and Macdonald was looking to have a peaceful colony out west--no violence.

Answer 8

Because he was French and the French-Canadians have always felt very unattatched from Britain and France. They have always felt very strongly about the fact that they wre Canadians. They did not have the strong pull to Britain, as the Canadians with British roots did.

Answer 9

The chagnes were diversity of religion, previousl Romand Catholic and Protestant only, as well as changes in language. Their arrival shows continuity because people had been coming to Canada for a better chance, the prosepect of a better life, since the first explorers. People were curious about this land.

Answer 10

Prevent many Chinese peopel from coming to Canada and it gave Canada a very bad image for future people. It impacted teh Chinese peopel who were already here because they couldn't afford to bring their family over and it cut off some ethnic diversity that Canada could have had.

Answer 11

They weren't white, they weren't Christians. They didn't fit in the mold. Ethichal questions such as racist acts demonstrated against an entire group because of how they were white.

Answer 12

While Canada no longer keeps out immigrants due to race, there are still some elements of discrimination such as no immigrant officers in the states of developing countries so people in these countries are in effect excluded from Canada unless they are able to travel to a distant immigration office in another country. Also, the number of applicants being processed at an overseas immigration post can be easily regulated merely by the size of staff assigned to the task.

Answer 13

They came with the promise of a better life. They came for farmland as did peopel who came in the twentieth century. Many were fleeing bad situations in their mother countries and Canada offered the chance of a peaceful and prosperous life. They share that with the immigrants of today.

Answer 14

Gold, copper, coal, silver, asbestos, nickel, gypsum, salt, iron ore, lead, zinc. Their impact was that larger mine companies formed. Across the country discoveries of substantial mineral deposits led to the opening of many permanent mines, providing employment ot thousands. Many of the communities that sprang up around the mines became established towns and cities.

Answer 15

Because it provided power for the growing number of mills and factories. It established Quebec and Ontario and the heartland of Canadian manufacturing since the majority of plants were in these provinces. They became a major source of power and contributed to the development of pulp and paper mills, smelting, and mining. It became an established part of Canada's economy and, by 1920, was producing more than 97% fo electricity generated in Canada.

Answer 16

Changes: natural resources bein gharvested and exported, minerals, hydroelectricity, and economic growth (wheat sales, railroads, pulp and paper industries, and forestry). These chagnes affected the lives of Canadians becuase they changed a primarily rural country, where things were made naturally and other goods were imported, into a country where they were developing, growing, and exporting many resources. This changed the lives of Canadians because it increaed the wealth of Canada which resulted in higher wages. The lives of Canadians still remained the same because they continued to farm and develop their own resources, they wer ejust harvesting and developing more of and different resources.

Answer 17

I think that it was the development of the agriculture industry because it is something that Canada is recognized for worldwide.

Answer 18

Canada developed economic growth very fast and it is a land rish in resources. Both of these things generate copious amounts of wealth and Canada was a booming place--a place whee people wanted to live. The influx of immigrants was promising and the completion of the railway brought many things to fruitition. Things like being the second largest automobile manufacturer in the world, and the amount of American's that were immigrating to Canada owuld have given him this idea as well.
