Canada goes to War
Canada stands strong and honorable fights in the War in 1914. I would rate this nor a + or a -. I would say it was a 0, my reasoning for this was because many lives were taken in the war but without it we may not have got all the benefits we have today. -
War with Canada ends
Canada strongly ends the war with many men dead and injured. I feel this was a +2 because many people were injured, yet sacrificed their lives to allow us to live a better one today. -
Immigration act
In 1919, Prime Minister Borden amended the immigration act allowing all Indian immigrants living in Canada to bring their wives and children under the age of 18. I would rank this a +2 because it showed how we welcomed many different cultures to our country. -
Voting and rights
In 1919 the league of Indians of Canada was founded. This was meant for these people to be able to vote and have other rights. I would rank this a +2 because this showed we were multicultural and were fair with every culture. -
The Group of Seven
In 1920 the group of seven was officially formed. They were committed to painting a distinct Canadian form of art. (captured Canadian landscape). I would rank this a +1 because I feel that this was important, it introduced us to different kinds of art and how meaningful it could be. -
Roaring Twenties inventions
In the 1920s radio and other new inventions that could run off of electricity were invented. I would rate this a +2 for the reason being that this was a big deal for Canada. It was the time where everyone was rebuilding their lives and Canada was becoming great again. -
Grey- Dort automobiles
In 1921 the Grey-Dort automobile was released at $1,465. I would rate this a +2 because it showed how we had evolved from war and the things we were creating. -
Chinese Immigration Act
This was an act that excluded people with a Chinese background from Canada. This was meant that if someone Chinese went back to their hometown for more then 2 years they would not be aloud back in Canada. I would rate this a -2 because it showed how we excluded people at this time and were unfair. -
Factory workers
The Great West Garment factory expanded and in 1928 there more Canadians working in factories then ever before. -
Female athletes
In 1928 Canadian female athletes competed in the summer Olympics for the first time. I feel this was important and rate it a +2 because it showed how much respect we gained for women and respected what they enjoyed.
