Lt. Col. Allison wrote a letter to persuade people to join the army. This letter was directed towards children and letting them know what is going on in the war. It also tried to persuade children to join the army. There was progress in this event. This was because many children joined the army.

During the first world war, Canada took other countries' people hostage. They made sure that they wouldn't escape and did many cruel things to them. For example, one person tried to escape, as a result, they got shot. This picture just shows Canada wasn't so innocent in the war. There has been a decline of this, even if there was a war, Canada wouldn't take innocent citizens hostage.

In 1917, there was a big election to decide if the conscription would be supported. Many of the parties did support, however, the Liberal party did not support this. There is a decline in conscription. Today in Canada there is no conscription, people can decide whether or not they want to go join the army.

Jeremiah Jones was a black Canadian soldier that risked everything for his country but got no recognition for it. He served in many wars and lied about his age because he was 13 years over the age limit. There was lots of progress because 100 years after his death, he was awarded a medal. Another reason is that black Canadian soldiers don't have to face racial discrimination in the army anymore.

Just like Covid-19, Spanish flu was a very dangerous and contiguous virus. Estimated to have killed over 50 million people worldwide. Believed to have been caused by immigration. There has been a decline of influenza but an increase of another virus. Influenza isn't in society today so there has been significant progress.

This is the middle of the timeline. There is not a scale indicated but the more up you go the more progress

In the 1920s, there was a large population of women and all of them were housewives. Immigrant housewives, lives were very difficult due to the fact, they had no money. They had to do laundry in a can, and etc. There was a lot of progress. Now fewer and fewer women become housewives, instead, they decide to work. Another factor that comes into mind, is back in 1920 women didn’t have many rights. For example, they couldn’t vote back then and now they can.

Further down shows decline

Though there were some disputes among Sikh people and other Canadian residents over the style of clothing and hair cuts, the main progress occurred when Canadian-Indian men were allowed to bring their families to Canada in 1919. Before this, Indian people weren’t allowed to bring their families and children to Canada. However, the Immigration Act changed that. There was progress because, over the course of many years, people can wear whatever they want.

Chuck Lee was the first Chinese civil engineer. Unfortunately for him, racial injustice prevented him from getting a chance at being a civil engineer. Then it got worse, as Canada added the Chinese immigration law. The law stated "Chinese citizens could not immigrate to Canada. For the Chinese citizens already living in Canada, they can go back home, for a maximum of 2 years." There was definitely progress because Chinese people can immigrate to Canada at will now.

In 1927, no woman had the courage to run for the house of commons and was likely not going to get elected. Elizabeth Murphy and 4 other people, were not happy with this and decided to rebel against this. She researched the BNA Law and found loopholes around it to give women a bigger opportunity. Eventually, a woman was elected to the senate in 1930. There was progress because now women can go into politics freely. For example, 4 years women almost became the president of America.
