This organization, founded by Lieutenant F.O. Loft, was the first national Native political organization in Canada. The First Nations people fought for their rights to be treated fairly, and they eventually succeeded. Because of this, this would be ranked as +1

This allowed Indian immigrants to bring their wives and children under 18 to Canada. This would be ranked as +1 because although many Indians still could not come to Canada, it allowed families from foreign countries to reunite in our country.

Thanks to new technology such as radios, earphones, sewing machines, and appliances like washing machines or refrigerators, it got easier for housewives to play their role. This would be ranked as +2 because this technology gave a huge benefit, and nothing was lost.

The year the group formed. These artists formed this group so they could work together to create a new painting style that would capture Canada's landscape perfectly. I would rank this as +2 because the group of artists made a huge accomplishment, and they made only a positive impact on Canada's views on art and landscape.

This was a new, but expensive vehicle. It was $1,400, while the average yearly pay was only $1.200. I would rank this as 0 because this was a huge advance in technology, but few people could afford it because it was so new and expensive. This fits in with both the "technology" and the "good pay" criteria. Image Credit

In 1922, Fredrick Banting and his colleague created insulin. This saved hundreds of lives and made it a lot easier for people with issues like diabetes to live a normal life. I would rank this +1 because although Banting needed help from other people due to his bad eyesight, he eventually helped thousands, if not millions of people, and he gained lots of respectability from everyone. -

Known as the “Exclusion Act” to many Chinese communities, the Chinese Immigration Act prevented Chinese people from entering Canada. Because of this, the maximum time for trips back home was 2 years, and Chinese children had to carry identification cards. This is why I would give this a ranking of -1.

Due to wage reductions and shutdowns, miners went on strike in 1925. During this strike, William Davis was shot, and he is still remembered today on "Davis Day". I would give this a ranking of -1 because Davis is still remembered, but he should not have been shot in the first place. Also, wage reductions and shutdowns made a negative impact on individual workers and their families.
This would go under the "jobs" and the "good pay" criteria. -

The Famous Five is a group of five women from Alberta (Emily Murphy, Henrietta Muir Edwards, Nellie McClung, Louise McKinney, and Irene Parlby) who decided to challenge the law by asking the Supreme Court if a law suggests that women are not considered as people. This group of women fought for respect and equal treatment. Eventually, in 1927, women could vote and be elected to the House of Commons. Because of this, I would give this a ranking of +1. -
This was the only place where Sikh families could socialize; white people did not seem to approve of them at the time. The younger children tried to fit in with the white people by dressing like them. I would give this a rating of +1, because although they created a community where they all fit in, there was still the problem of being excluded from the majority of the population.
This would fit in with the "Equality" criteria.
