Women in the Workplace
Women joined the workforce in order to help out their families. Since men were away at war lots of jobs opened up for women. Women also joined the workforce in order to help pay for all their families goods and for their children's education -
Continuity
This is continuity since women to this day are still allowed to work in the workplace. Although women in the 1945s only had jobs such as seamstresses, factory workers, and secretaries, they were still able to have paying jobs. Now women can have any job and there is less job discrimination. -
Japanese Canadians
Japenese Canadians/immigrants also know as Nikkeis immigrated to Canada in two waves. The first wave arrived between 1877-1928 and the second in 1967. Japenese Canadians faced lots of discrimination after immigrating to Canada. They were denied their right to vote, and couldn't work in some industries. There were even laws trying to force them out of Canada and residential segregation forcing them to live in undesirable places.They were known as "unfair competition" and accused of stealing jobs. -
Change
This is change although there is still discrimination towards Japanese Canadians a lot has changed. As they all have equal rights like being allowed to vote, choosing their jobs, and are allowed to have more professional jobs. -
Change
Jewish Canadians today don't face nearly have as much discrimination as they did in WWI and WWII although I am sure they still do. Jewish Canadians also have all equal privileges as everyone else and no longer have restrictions towards immigration rules. -
Jewish Canadians
Jews and Jewish Canadians faced a huge amount of discrimination all around the world. Anti-Semitism is a religious intolerance that created a whole new type of racism towards Jews which was used throughout political leaders and different cultural groups. Canada's immigration rules towards Jews became very strict and unfair. Many didn't like jews since they were told they were "parasites", and "dangerous." Along with the fact that they had many cultural differences. -
Indigenous peoples and WWII
Indigenous people were allowed to fight in both WWI and in WWII but were not the preferred choice. Both the RCAF and RCN had originally required their soldiers to be of pure European descent and of the white race. -
Change
Indigenous people being allowed to be in the Canadian army has changed. Back in 1939, Indigenous people were allowed to fight in the army but were discriminated against and not the army's preferred choice since they were not of pure European descent. Now the Canadian Army can not discriminate against people based on their race, beliefs, etc. -
Women Join the Canadian Air forces
The Royal Canadia Air Forces didn't allow women to join until
July 2, 1941. Thousands of women volunteered to help out abroad and from home. At first, Canada did not want women in the airforces but eventually had to allow them since they were running out of men who wanted to help. Nearly 17 000 women served in WWII with their motto being "We serve that men may fly." -
Continuity
This is continuity since women are still allowed to be in all types of forces. Although women are now more respected when they are in those types of roles compared to the 1940s. It was a big shock to the world for women to be in the airforces and in such male-dominated roles. -
Ipperwash Camps
Camp Ipperwash is located in Ontario's Ipperwash Provincial Park which was originally claimed by the Kettle and Stoney Point First Nations. The government wanted to use the land for a military training camp. The land was promised to be given back after WWII but was not given back until the 90's. After a repeated request for the land to be returned it had lead to protest and resulted in one death. -
Change
This is a change since we are now trying to give back land and rights that were taken away from indigenous peoples. In the 1940s and earlier we took the land of indigenous peoples forcing them to move and taking away their rights which we are now trying to give back. -
