how well did Canada create the perfect society??

Canada was moving towards a perfect society and more advanced than America or any other country in the world at that time. St. Burent put Old Age Pensions in the welfare system so that people who have retired can live the lifestyle they want with their residential needs in order to survive and live. It moves towards a perfect society because, people who are 65 or older would be able to apply to get a certain amount of money each month to spend on living costs and food so they don't have to work and get hurt while on the job. Like some careers they once had like construction they can not do no more because of their health or too weak. Some people also have to retire do to health reasons that happened while working. Pearson made available health care to everyone in Canada for free except for a few things like prescriptions. It goes towards a perfect society because anyone who needs health care can get it for free or covered by the government, and instead of having to pay to get a check up its for free cause the government takes care of that department of health. People who couldn't afford health care back then it makes it easier on them and the person who needs it covered. A lot more people are getting braces but don't have a ton of money to spend can get some of the cost covered and its alot cheaper then having to pay 10,000 and maybe now just has to pay 4-5,000. Trudeau took the constitution out of the hands of the British Parliament, and began the process of patriating Canada's constitution. It moves it towards a perfect society because, it values human rights and respects everyone who lives in Canada and should be treated equally no matter what race or age, or gender. Canada is moving in the direction of a perfect society because now Canada respects their people and every race that enters and lives in Canada and understands that everyone should have equal rights and be treated properly no matter how old or young you are.
Canada also did some things that might of not been the best for our nation like building atomic bombs and wanted Ontario to become the first nuclear reactor in the world designed and operated outside the United States. Canada wanted to build atomic bombs . If that happened Canada would do some serious damage to a lot of the planet if the plan went through. In conclusion Canada would be turning it away from a perfect society because it would be alot of damage to Canada and what people say about Canada

Blog Week 9 - Perfect Society

The Perfect Society

A society with a strong culture of sharing with each other and loving one another, working together, laughing, finding and enjoying bliss, living happily and beautifully, with everyone’s best interest equivalent to each individual’s own best interest.

Our current society is certainly sick, and even if you found it to be sufficient for yourself, it is certainly not sufficient for everyone else. A perfect society isn't exactly possible, not EVERYONE in the world is going to follow new rules and act differently than they already do. They will still continue violence and fighting no matter what people say. It's never going to be just peaceful everyday and everyone being happy, together.

Blog 6 - Canada - WW2

World War Two - Canada

There was no doubt as to what Canada’s position would be: in the event of war between Britain and any combination of enemies threatening the survival of the ‘Mother Country’, Canada would support Britain. When the time came, Canada quickly offered its aid.

From a population of only 11.5 million, slightly more than one million Canadians served in uniform during the conflict.These military contributions helped win the war, but the cost was high, more than 42,000 Canadians lost their lives, and another 55,000 were wounded.On the home front, industry produced massively to support the war effort. Canada produced warships, merchant vessels, bombers, fighters, tanks, vehicles of all kinds, artillery pieces, and all sorts of military equipment and munitions, employing millions of people directly or indirectly. Farms produced immense amounts of meat, grain, and other produce to help keep Canada, Britain, and the Allies fed and fighting.

week 10

I disagree with putting NORAD at.5 because it was beneficial to Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile defense. in my opinion NORAD should be a +2 because it was run by the US and Canadian government.We also collaborated with them for the Distant Early Warning lines.NORAD was beneficial because North America was protected again an ICBM strike.

week 9

In my opinion a model society is a society is a place where every ones opinion is noticed. I would have a democratic government. There would be no poverty. There will be ample amounts of job opportunities for the unemployed.There will be many recreational activities for young and old alike.

week 8

 I chose the Forgotten War because this war had maximal Canadian input. There were losses but it was a sweet victory. With that in mind it was called the Forgotten War  because it wasn't in Canada,also the medals were given  four decades later.There were no parades for the soliders when they came home

Nathan Week 5

I do not Agree with Canada's decision to not let the People of the Sr. Louis in. I think this because it ruins Canada help full and nice reputation by rejecting to take innocent people in need of a home. Another reason i think this is because it just seems like they are contributing to the neglect and hate that the Jewish people are getting. We should have done the complete opposite of what we did so we don't contribute to that bad attitude. my third reason is that its just very rude and mean to reject them and it makes them feel even more un-wanted. Another reason is why not? its not like Canada has over population by taking the people in it might have actually helped Canada. In conclusion I hope that you agree with me that what Canada did was not okay.

Blog Week #10

I have to disagree with where NATO went, it should be at 0 or 0.5. I say this because it made us more enemies than allies, as well as it put us in the middle of firing range for Russia to fire a nuclear   missile right on top of us and not hit its real target, USA, Also we would have to defend ourselves against a nuclear war if that did happen.

blog week 10

The most damaging thing to creating a perfect society was native residential schools because they would beat the children and in a perfect society there isn't child abuse. They could have just not had the residential schools and that would fix the problem.

Week 10

I think that the quiet revolution is the most damaging to a perfect because. not only do we have to worry about thing like NORAD and varies cries, but now the people in our own country are revolting against  us if we cant even keep peace in our own borders how can we help the rest of the rest of the world with its problems. also some one put the quiet revolution at 0 on the value line and that's well not right because people are revolting even know its "quiet" doesn't mean its neutral or OK.

Week#10

For this weeks blog I will be writing about what I think did the most damage to creating a perfect society and why it did so much damage. In my opinion the thing that did the most damage to creating a perfect society was that PM L.St.Laurent had no universal health care in Canada during his time as PM. The reason this was so bad is because with no health care plan in action the people of Canada where more venerable to injuries. Also with no health care plan in play this meant that if someone where to get hurt they would have to pay for the treatment that they required.  I think that a universal health care plan should have been the first thing that PM St.Laurent did as PM. This was the thing that I think affected Canada building a perfect society the most. I hope you enjoy this blog and can understand my reasoning for thinking this. Till next week. LW

DEW Lines

     The DEW lines should be at 0 and not +1 because there was basically no use for them. That's because Canada was never attacked during any of the wars, so there was no need to worry. But it was kinda of a good thing, because it can be useful in the future. It also showed to other countries that they were afraid of being attacked. 

Week 9

Is a perfect society possible I don't believe it is because to make Canada perfect there are so many topics that you would have to shed light to like the aboriginals the fact that some people in Quebec still don't like English speaking people. We would have to cover topics as bid as global warming and as small as under aged drinking  there are so many things we would have to fix I think that we are to far gone.

Prime Minister Visions - Blog Week #10

I most support Trudeau's vision; A Just Society. I think this vision is an idea towards a perfect society because, with everyone having their fair share, no one is unhappy. Also, with this being in place, everyone has a chance to sustain themselves. With this, more people will both earn and gain money, both by jobs and by selling products (Store owners).  This could also go into human equality, meaning different races or genders would not be discriminated, with everyone treated fairly. These are the reasons I support Trudeau's vision; A Just Society.

Week 4- Nathan

My overall impression on Canada during 1914-1929 is that it was a very good nation and it was growing fast. Some examples would be steps to being completely independent like raising up its own army and making decisions for itself. Like the crisis in turkey when they refused to send to troops to help fight with the UK. Overall Canada was a very good nation that was very promising with a thriving economy. Another reason why I think Canada was very good nation is because its involvement and accomplishments in WW1. One example would be Vimy Ridge thought to be impossible to take, but the Canadians took it. This helped it be a great nation because it gave them some reputation which helped give pride to Canadians.

Blog #9

A perfect society would have employment available for a diverse work force, disabled, youth, unskilled, and skilled labour. For example work experiences with major employers would be mandatory for youth graduating school. Health care would be accessible with no wait lists. There would b affordable housing for every member of the community. Funding would be available so every house hold would have the latest technology. Lush environments that are protected from pollution and other man made environmental impacts, so these environments can sustain food production. Bee keeping and hives are mandatory for every ten acres of agricultural land.  

Week #8

For this blog post I will be talking about the Korean war other wise known as the forgotten war among veterans.  The Korean war started in 1950 and ended in 1953. 27000 Canadians went to Korea, that's twice as many as were sent on Dday and 6 times as many as in the gulf war.  Out of the 27000 soldiers sent to Korea 616 died.  The Americans used better weapons in the war then the Canadian soldiers did, so Canadian soldiers used to trade alcohol for guns. Both American and Canadian soldiers fought under the U.N's flag during the Korean war.

Blog 5 - How people coped with depression.

How People Coped With Depression In The 1930's.

Perhaps the worst part of living through the Depression was the shame of being out of work. People had to be taught that if they were poor, it was their own fault. Only lazy people failed. When people were hungry and had no money they lined up at the soup kitchen and had to work for it even if it was as simple as digging a hole and filling it in the next day. Individuals seen drinking, driving a car, or attending a race track lost their relief. They reused old goods to save up and when there was nothing left at home on the land, they set off across the country, looking for work.

Blog 4 - Canada In The 1920's

Canada In The 1920's

Canadian society in the 1920's had many biases towards minority groups and women. Rules between men and women were very unfair. For example, it was not proper for a married woman to work, get college or university degrees, if women were to work they'd be cleaning ladies, teachers' clerk or nurse. People then were very sexist. All the men got the good jobs like law, journalism and medicine which were all "natural" for men. Women faced discrimination , ridicule, financial hardship and loneliness.

An era of invention in the early 1920's gave the lifestyle we know today. Electricity became part of everyday life in the 1920's. People could buy electric stoves, washing machines, irons, vaccums cleaners and toasters. These appliances may not have looked like those we use today, but the make homework and cooking easier.

For entertainment, many Canadian cities and towns had theaters, which had been built during the 1920's. Live variety shows for the whole family were so popular. There were many young people going to nightclubs where they listen to jazz music. Other went dancing. There was live orchestra's in the dance halls playing the latest tunes. But the most popular entertainment of all was the movies.

Unit 1 Summative - Canada's independence

In WW1, Canada’s independence was much like a pre-teen and Britain was Canada’s babysitter. Canada had their own independence but still has to rely on Britain for quite a lot of things. Canada has to join the war when Britain did but still got to choose who else goes to war. 

Canada also didn’t have any say in where they got to fight, although Vimy Ridge Canadian soldiers fought on their own they got to choose how and developed new strategies on the way. Canada’s independence was also much like a teenager because  Canada has a lot of their own responsibilities like when the Canadian fisheries minister signed the treaty.

I think that Pearson did the most for Canada because he wanted to make Canada country others could count on. I think that this provides a interesting opportunity for Canada because they are trying to get more noticed by the rest of the world he wanted Canada to bring peace to the rest of the world. therefore I think that Pearson is the person who did the most foe Canada.

blogger #8

Korean was a forgotten war because of how some of the medals came in the mail, instead of a ceremony and there was also no big celebration for the soldiers that just came from the war. Usually soldiers get their medals at a ceremony but in this war just some of the soldiers got medals but they came in the mail so it made them think that the war was for nothing so it made them think that it wasn't worth it and continues with their lives like nothing happened same with everyone else who didn't fight because they didn't really hear or know about the Korean war when it ended. Canadians shouldn't forget about it because more Canadians fought in that war then Dday (2x) and in the Gulf war (6x).  The war was also a long war which was 3 years (1950-1953), Canadians should remember because it had a small impact on some Canadians

This week we learn about the Korean war . this war wasn't thought much of from the rest of the world . i don't quite know why because there were more soldiers that had a part of this war then d-day and the gulf war. i believe that the soldiers should have been more appreciated more by the UN and there county but they weren't and i also believe that the war should have more presents in history.

blogger #9

A perfect society to me would be where everything is clean and there would always be community helpers around the community having different ways of making the community a better place. A community where everyone gets along and no ones unhappy and there's hardly any crime. A perfect society is also where there's lots of varieties of stores and parks and malls that would make people want to get out of their house and walk around and drive and spend time with their family. A society where the standard of living is cheap but the houses look up to date and nice. The pay is also excellent so you would be able to spend a fair amount of money on new appliances or shopping for clothes and ect each month.

Blog Week #9

I think that a perfect society is possible. I think so because all you would have to do is purge the place you want to make perfect of anyone who will try to kill you and your dream, or ask the police to protect you from people that will try to stop you, and also get the people to rally and help stop all of the negative things happening within the country. As well as you could just go onto the news and ask if you could give a speech and if they agreed you would get the people to rally and help you bring utopia into a reality. if they said no you could just go to the station and ask if you could,  and if that doesn't work you could go to another new broadcasting station hub and ask them if you could give the speech.

Is a Perfect Society Possible? - Week #9

I do not thing a perfect society is possible. First of all, the economy would not be able to handle all money problems easily. Secondly,  there would be disagreements no matter what. Also, if everything was even, money would still be a problem (Budget Wise). As well, having jobs for everyone would be very hard to do with both pay and finding the jobs. Finally, People would complain if they didn't think what they had was the same as everyone else.

Canada Creating a Model Society

       
             Canada is doing a pretty good job of creating a model society. There are some imperfections, the positive side is outweighing the negative side by a lot. Some of the things that are: Removal of discrimination, Aboriginal right to vote, bill of rights, new minimum wage, student loans, universal care; and so on. This made everybody feel like they were apart of something good and not alone.

blog week 8

A perfect society is not possible because there's always gonna be people that break the law and get into trouble, not everyone is gonna make the same amount of money, some people are gonna be homeless. people are always gonna litter and pollute the society. some religions might not be allowed.

blog week 9

A perfect society would have high employment, available food and shelter for homeless, all religions are accepted, available health care, free education, no pollution, multicultural, healthy relationships, available resources, equality, democratic, low crime rate, prosperity, stable, good relations with other societies, modern technology, freedom of speech, balanced incomes, self-sufficient, peaceful, easy transportation, cares for environment, values human rights, strong military, no taxes, and would have a welfare system.

my perfect society

Hello today i am going to be talking to you about my perfect society. In my eyes a perfect society would be there is always jobs available so no one has to go with out work. Free health care would also have to be apart of my perfect society. Also that there is always things to do for people of all ages. Jobs in all industry would be goo because then would always be a job that could possibly interest some one.

Blog Week #8

In the cold war they sent more people than D-Day and it wasn't endangering Canada and we helped the people protect South Korea and were only able to get a seas fire. When the men returned they weren't given a victory Parade and weren't given medals for fighting in that fight. The fight was considered (in it's time) to be Police work.

Blog#6

For this weeks blog post I will be writing about Canada's involvement in World War 2. One of the things that Canada was involved with during world war 2 was the Italian raid, the Italian raid began on the island of Sicily  were we deployed 92000 troops. Another thing Canada did during the war was the liberation of the Netherlands, 237000 men and women served in the Netherlands 11000 lives were lost. Canada also contributed to building the first atomic bomb, there was a team of scientists moved from England to Canada to study atomic energy.  

Blog#5

I disagree with the Canadian Government's way of dealing with  the st. Louis. One of the reasons I disagree with what the Government did is because the st. Louis was full of refugees. People who needed help, people who needed Canada's help were forced to wait twelve days before being turned away simply because the Government felt they shouldn't get involved. This right here is the main reason why I disagree with what the Canadian Government did and why I think it was an irresponsible decision on their part.

This propaganda poster was used to encourage enrollment of men to serve overseas for the 73^rd Royal Highlanders of Canada regiment. The message is that men are needed to defend their country. This poster appeals to the patriotic side of people as it talks about fighting to preserve our freedom . It also  uses the statement “God Save the King” which people at that time used to define their patriotism to the King of Canada and Britain. I like  this poster because it shows a lot about  the time period and our dependence on Britain. It demonstrates that while we were not yet independent of Britain governance, there was a sense of country and comradery. The war united people for a cause.

My cousin is a museum curator and currently is assigned as a consultant for the artifacts in the Governor Generals house. He would treasure the contents of the artifacts box and give you the significance of each item. The cap in the box was worn by a high ranking officer.I wish my cousin was with me when we saw the artifact as he would be able to provide much greater detail about the item and it’s significance. Barbed wire was used in trench warfare to slow the enemy down during an invasion. It was  set up in patterns that could not be easily distinguished and the invaders would get caught in it and could not easily escape.   The rattler in the box was used to alert men in the trench that gas had been released so that they would  quickly put on their gas masks to protect themselves.

Canada vs U.S Culture

    After Canada became decolonized from Britain, it underwent a period in which American culture was introduced. Canada started to rely on the American Culture for many different things. Firstly, American media was starting to surface in Canada, starting with radio broadcasts, TV shows, even American news was shown here. When Canada became the country it is known for today, the States and Canada started to rely on each others economy and have a steady import/export plan in place to help each others economy therefore that is why Canada was starting to get many American products. Lastly, The United States of American became a very wealthy ally for Canada, and you must remember Canada was just starting out as a new Country and never really had non-British assets (military, economy) until they U.S became a strong Ally.

Second blog - Canadian Propaganda Poster

http://www.angelfire.com/ego/mr.f/SubjectLinks/history/gr8canadachangingsociety/propagandaposters.html


The message of this propaganda poster is to convince the public to give up their food for the soldiers and saying that "well fed soldiers will win the war", when in reality the soldiers were very hungry, even starving regardless of how much food there was because of the vast number of troops and the short supply of food. The intended audience for this poster would be the men, women and children on the home front because their "job" was to help support the war by saving food or recycling or really anything that could benefit the troops overseas. Some of the techniques used in the poster are for one, the explosion going off in the background to show people how bad war is and much danger the troops were in. Also the fact that some of the words (YOU, FOOD, WILL WIN, and WAR) are capitalized showing how eager the troops are to get food. There is also the soldier with a straight face pointing at the wood "FOOD" showing that they are in desperate need of food.

Korean war

The Korean war is the forgotten war. It is the forgotten the forgotten war because it did not affect any Canadians civilians. The war started in 1950 and it ended in 1953. 27,000 Canadian soldiers went to Korea, two times as many men that were at D day. The Canadian soldiers got medals 38 years after the war and the veterans had to pay for their own wall of remembrance because no government would fund it.

Korean war

     The Korean war is called the forgotten war. Many soldiers were forgotten about and nobody really appreciated them. 27,000 Canadians went to the war and 516 of them died. It was only about 40 years later the veterans got their medals. Not all got a ceremony most got their medals in the mail with their flyer's. Straight after the war there was no parade's or celebrations for the soldiers who came back. This probably made the family's who have lost someone in that war would have felt upset and as if they weren't appreciated. Veterans also had to pay for a memorial for the war they fought in. No matter what war it is, all soldiers should be remembered.

Blog Week #7

For the forgotten war I think the veterans should have gotten their war medals, their memorial, as well as a pension for their services. they fought in the war under the UN flag, during the fight they exchanged Booze for better weaponry. in the war 516 Canadians were killed in the front lines. This fight was known as the forgotten war. the fight ended in July 27th 1957. They sent 27000 people to this fight. The veterans had to raise money for their own memorial. In the end of the war they didn't get a parade. Back then that fight was known as police work.

Week #8 - The Korean War Veterans

The Korean War was a forgotten war. Veterans were not honored for their fight. Instead, some of them got their medal in the mail with no ceremony. 40 years after the war, they were recognized, but not honored. Veterans decided to make their own Wall of Remembrance and Memorial. These Veterans were treated very poorly for their services.

blog week 6

I believe that Canada was looked over during the second world war. Canada was not treated as the rest of the allies, and given all the hard jobs like the battle of the Dippie. At one point they were even called the Cinderella army because they had to do all the hard jobs , yet they still got recognition for it. During the beginning of the war Canada was not given a fair opportunity to prove their worth to the rest of the world. I think if the rest of the world had given Canada a fair shot from the beginning it would have taken pressure off the rest of the Allied forces. I believe that the Allied forces should not have looked over ready and willing man no matter what country they were from.

week 7

    I think that the topic of the holocaust is so interesting to me because it is so unbelievable that any thing like this could ever happen. To learn about this unimaginable horrors is intriguing. The horrible things done by the Nazis in the concentration camps is terrifying. I also believe  that history dose repeat itself and the more we know about this genocide the less likely it is to happen again. I also think that the people should learn form there mistakes no matter how huge and terrible thy might be. In conclusion  I enjoy learning about topics that are unimaginable like space and human anatomy, although this topic is bigger then I could or care to image I still find it very interesting.

Week 7 #2 - Intriguing Disasters

(This is a replacement for week #4 blog)

The disgusting moments of World War II are interesting because they show what kind of twisted things people can do. It also shows that people should be more aware and more mindful of what people can do. Also, people are curious of what happened because a lot of people like to see disgusting things to test their guts, and see how long they can stand without finding it disturbing. This is most interesting to me because we actually see what was done to the people instead of hearing about it. We get to see the amounts of dead bodies, we get to see the destruction caused, not just to the buildings but the people. Learning about what happened is so we can be prepared to spot if something similar is going to happen.

Week 7 #1 - War Crimes

Yes, the Allies should be tried for dropping the nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The reason for my opinion, is because they used a weapon that could not tell the difference between civilian and the enemy. Secondly,  they mass murdered civilians. They also destroyed their buildings, supplies and such in two different cities. Not only that, anyone who died either went quickly or died slowly, these were civilians. These are my reasons for wanting the Allies to be tried for bombing Japan.

Week 6

During World War II, Canada's involvement was significant. First of all, Canada joined on their own, meaning they are more independent. Canadians were the ones who attack Juno beach and were successful. Canadians were also the liberators of the Netherlands. The Government also help Camp X, a spy compound, in Ontario during the war. Canada was very useful during the second World War.

Week 5 - St. Louis

I disagree with the Canadian Government's idea to refuse to dock the St. Louis. It was irresponsible to refuse a boat of many human beings (Jewish). Canadian responsibilities should be to protect civilians and they denied a safe location for them to stay. The government also didn't apparently realize there were specifically all Jewish people, not realizing something is strange when people of a certain belief are all on one boat. They just decided to not even ask why they were all on the boat. This is why refusing the St. Louis was irresponsible.

Week 3 - British To American Influence

- American films were shown more at theaters.
- Canadians thought New York's fashion was great, and took inspiration from it.
- Advertisement were also for American products, even in Canada.
And that is 3 ways that America was starting to have more influence over Canada.

Week 2 - Treaty of Versailles

I think that the Treaty of Versailles is fair. Germany's army is reduced, which means they can't counter attack after the agreement. Germany pays for the damage of the war, as they were the last enemy country to still be in the war. Germany's land was reduced, showing that they could be invaded easier if they decided to act against them. And, after they agreed, they would be left to figure everything out on their own, so we would not bring them down further. This is why I think the Treaty of Versailles is a fair treaty.

Second Blog - Woman At War

                                Women At War

In 1900, women composed one-quarter of the manufacturing workforce in Canada. The largest number of women worked as domestic servants. Three of every four teachers were female. Women teachers were paid less than the men.

Nowadays female or male teachers would get paid the same amount.

Back then it would be hard for women to find jobs because everyone thought they weren't built enough to do the jobs.

Today women can work almost anywhere they want and get treated equally.

Blog week #7

So for this blog I will be talking about Nuremburg trails and how even decades after the trails Nazi Commanders are still being hunted for what they did during the war. The Nuremburg trails were a series of trails held after the war by the allies, the purpose for these trails was to find and convict Nazi commanders that committed crimes during the war. One example being the concentration camps and how the people in them where treated.  Now because of the things these commanders did I can understand why the allies would want to find them even 70 years after the fact, but what I have to question is is it really worth hunting and finding them at this point. I mean sure they did some really really terrible things but by this time the ones that are still alive are either in their eighty's living very quiet lives, or are dead and buried under an unmarked gave. So in my opinion there really isn't a point to hunt them anymore.  

hardest thing Canada had to deal with in WW2

I think the hardest thing Canada had to deal with in WW2 was the raid at Dieepie because Canada lost 916 men also many more were injured. the raid was very poorly planed out when the Canadians arrived the french alardy were per pared for them because the timing was off and the french saw the canadains out at sea. Also the tracks on the tanks did not work well on the beach and the tanks could hardly move. The raid started at 5 am and by 1050 am Canada had to retreat.

Blog 7

The thing I found most interesting this week was the atomic bombs because of how big of an explosion they can make. I also find it interesting that there is uranium in them.

week 7 topic two

   I think the bombers should still be punished even if they are older now. The crimes they committed should still be punished because they killed many people with the bombs they built and dropped. Even though they're old now, they need to understand what they did was wrong and should not have been done. If it was someone else did something like that and was found years after they would still go to jail. Even though they may not spend a lot of time in jail they still shouldn't be let free because it was a long time ago.
they should still have to pay for the crimes the committed.

Canada's Involvement in WWII

    Canada's involvement in WWII was HUGE!!! The amount of effort and help that they put into the war was incredible. Canada was the main supplier because Britain was being attacked and couldn't do anything. Ships and vehicles were but 2/3 were for the allies, and the care packages that were made, were shiped over to Russia to help them out. Canada's involvement was big because they fought hard no matter what the weather was, and the only thing on the soldiers mind was victory. This is what drove the Canadians to do well.

The A bomb was a good thing

The A bomb was a good thing for the U.S.A to use because it got the world to the point where there are no more world wars and there wont be one for a long time. the reason there wont be one for a long time because after the A bomb was built it started an arms race so that we have gotten to the point where we will kill everyone on the planet if another world war were to start. i think that the U.S made a good decision because the bomb showed everyone that they are not a country to mess with. If the U.S had never used it we don't know what our world would be like right now so i am glad they did it.

The Holocaust

    
    The Holocaust was a pretty dark and scary time during the end of WWII. Even though Canada wasn't really apart of it, it was rude that they turned down the Jews from entering Canada. The Holocaust was harsh to the Jews because they were starved to death, baked in an oven, worked until they'd die and they even sent them into ditches and shot them. The reason why all of this happened was because of Hitler. He wanted to get rid of all the Jews. Other people were targeted as well like: Soviet POWs, Communists, homosexuals, mentally and physically disabled, plus more....

Blog Week #7

What I thought was interesting about this week is that how the first nuke was made and I also was wondering what else the nuke needed to help explode, what explosives, how much of the element that was in it, what elements were in it, and how much did the nuke punch in a mathematical term.

week 3 Nathan

3 Ways that showed Canada was moving away from British influence towards American are:

1. One thing is baseball this is a good example because baseball was an American sport and then the sport of Baseball spread to Canada

2. The second reason is that magazines. Amereican magazines started to sell in Canada.

3. Thee final reason is film and movies. Ameri movie theatres and movies started to get popular in Canada

Week 6

What I learned from World War 2 is that if we did not enforce the treaty of Versailles, the world would not have in peril from the blood thirsting Nazi Army. We would not have lost solders in doomed missions as in the first Dieppe raid and hong-kong.

WW1 Propaganda

This poster was made to get young men interested in joining the army. somethings that are used are big letters to draw peoples attention also the men in the picture look strong and are standing up straight to show power and authority. This makes young men believe that if they wear the uniform they will have the same power. On this poster it also tells you about where you are able to sine up for the war .

The Winnipeg General Strike

 The Winnipeg General Strike was called by the Winnipeg Trades and Labor Council on May 15th 1919 because workers wanted a fair living wadge as well as hours, also people wanted the right to organize in a union. In no time at all 30, 000 workers had left their jobs leading to all the cities factories being closed along with no retail trade or running trains. After the strike took place Winnipeg was effected so much that others were worried it would spread to other cities, therefor the Federal Government of Canada ordered Senator Gideon Decker Robertson to reason with both sides and come up with an agreement. Not long after he agreed with the strikers, concluding to the City Council to accept the employees proposal.

Week 4- Canada in 1920's Social/Cultural

There was a lot going on in Canada during the 1920's in terms of their Social/Cultural situation. One thing that was happening was that soldiers were coming back from  the war and getting married, which meant their was going to be a lot more family's being started. More people were starting to move to Canada which men't more jobs were required. The people of Canada started to have social get together's like picnics. There was also this boat that took people on rides through the rapids, that boat was called the rapid prince. Speaking of water, more and more people from around the north america started to come and see the natural wonder of the world that is Niagara falls. There were also other activities to do like going to the movies, horse races, and skiing. That's about it for Canada's Social\Culture situation during the 1920's.    

Canada during the depression

    The great depression hit Canada hard. Leaving millions of Canadians unemployed, hungry, and without a place to live. With millions unemployed they had no source of income. This meant they couldn't afford food and couldn't pay rent for there houses. All the beautiful cars and houses they had they had to sell to try and support there family's. The Government set up soup kitchen's for people to eat. It cost no money but they would make you work for your food by digging a hole and filling it back in. Without a place to live and no transportation they would rely on the railways for a place of transportation and somewhere to sleep.

week 4

My impression of the 1920 time period is very lively. this impression comes from the thriving stocks.
 the economy was very fast paced we were producing a large amount of cars. The stock market was rising greatly. Everyone was living a lavished lifestyle

Blog Week #6

I learned that in WWII Canada played  more supportive role in the war because we didn't have much of an army that was trained for battle, but we had more industrialization then we did in WWI so we could supply our allies easier than we could in WWI. Another reason we played a more supportive role is because we had teens and adults that weren't properly trained for going to the war.

3 worst things about trench warfare

The three worst things about trench warfare are trench foot, there's gonna be dead bodies lying around, and there's a lot of rats. The very worst thing about trench warfare would be trench foot. Trench foot is the worst because your foot would get infected for being in the mud for so long. The second worst thing about trench warfare is that there are a lot of rats in the trenches. It's the second worst because the men have to sleep in the trenches so they don't get shot and when they sleep the rats will start to eat the soldiers. The third worst thing about trench warfare is that there are dead bodies lying around everywhere in the trenches. That's the third worst because after some time the bodies will start to smell really bad.

Dealing With The Depression

       In the early 1930's was the time of depression. This had happened because people had lost their jobs, nothing was being made which means less people were needed to work. This is because WWI ended and the factories were not needed any more. The way everybody had dealt(coped) with it, was: going to soup kitchens, and living off of what they had. They were mainly for just the men but women were allowed to.

This is just one of the many soup kitchens that men went to to get something to eat because they couldn't afford to buy food.

week 1

the worst thing about trench warfare was the trench foot,
 because if you get it bad enough you lose your foot
the second worst thing is the rats.
because they can chew on you and your clothes which would be shitty because you'd be cold
the third worst thing is the smell and dead bodies.
because you could puke and stuff over how bad the smell is and stuff

In the 1930's the stock market crashed and created the great depression, there's different explanations for the crisis, and some blame the uneven distribution of wealth and purchasing power in the 20's. whatever it is the economy was not prepared for the crash. Most people coped with the depression by going to food banks. There was no insurance or compensation for the employed, so when people stopped earning they had to stop spending which made it even more difficult to deal with the depression. One other way that helped people out was one man named Herbert Hoover but he said that solving such problems was not really the federal governments job. Most of the solutions he suggested were voluntary. He asked the state governments to undertake public work projects, he also asked big companies to keep workers' pay steady, and asked labor unions to stop demanding raises. The crisis worsened and soon unemployed people did whatever they could, like standing in charity breadlines and selling apples on street corners, to feed their families

3 worst things about trench foot warfare

The 3 worst things about trench foot warfare is getting trench foot because your feet get mold because the boots they have don`t are not water proof and if it gets bad enough you might have to cut your foot off. Also another reason is because there is rats all around you and and when you sleep in the trench is that the rats can crew on your body and put wholes through everything. why that`s bad is because then you will get wet from all the wholes and be cold. Another bad thing about trench warfare is how it smells really badly because all the dead bodies are laying there and they are not putting them somewhere else.

Canada during the 1920's

    During the 1920's Canada was doing really well. The stock markets we're sky rocketing and with that happening people were making lots of money and they were able to by new cars, houses, were also able to eat out at restaurants. Everybody had jobs most worked in the factory's maxing supply's for the war.

   The technology during the 1920's were improving. All the soldiers were returning home from war and they wanted to see the new technology such as new radio's, silent movies and Henry Ford's new car. It was the first car model ever. They also came up with new medicine created. Silent movies were invented in 1922 and they were a extremely popular way of entertainment and it was the 3rd most popular business of the 1920's

WEEk 1 Nathan.

The 3 Worst things about trench warfare.

1. Its very dirty. This is bad because the soldiers get really wet and dirty so they are extremely uncomfortable and can get sick easy.

2. Another bad thing is bombs. if a bomb is coming in the trench there isn't much places to run because if you go forward you run int to enemy territory and behind you there might not be a way out.

3. The third worst thing about trench warfare is gas attacks this is bad because gas is very deadly and hard to get away from. although there is a way to save your self, if you not fast enough it will kill you.

Blog week #5

People in the Thirties dealt with the depression by, playing games that they could play without spending money, reading thrown out books and magazines, by talking with others that were around them, and by playing card games on small tables or on the ground.

The Three Worst Things About Trench Warfare

Trench warfare had multiple flaws, but I would say the worst part about it is the use of mustard gas because before gas masked were used there was almost no way to protect yourself. Also with the trenches being constantly muddy and filled with water it was very common for soldiers to get trench foot as well as a lot of sickness went around in the trenches. Lastly the trenches were described as sickening because of the odor of going to the bathroom in them as well as the dead bodies of soldiers.

How Has World War 1 Changed The Role Of Woman?

World War 1 changed the role Canadian woman had tremendously because before the war had started women would usually stay at home and be considered "housewives." Leading to woman not having their own say or even be allowed their own income. But during the war, after all the men had been sent out the women were needed to take the jobs of the men. Then once the men came back the women didn't want to pass up their jobs because it meant their individuality they've gained will be lost, so they protested to be treated equally and as capable as any man. Therefor the role for women has changed a lot due to the result of World War 1.

3 example of American influence in Canada

IN the nineteen twenty's Canada started to drift away from British influence and more towards American influence, there were many reasons for this but here are just three. The Charleston is one example of American influence. It is a dance move that was among the first dances that didn't require a partner and was danced to the tune " the Charleston". Another example of American influence was Warner brothers studio. founded in 1923 by four brothers, Warner brothers studio opened up a lot of chances for Canadian actors to make it big on the big screen. A third example of american influence in Canada was American magazines, these magazines helped Canadian citizens keep up with american news.  

1914-1929

1914-1929

Canada in 1914 were in the middle of WW1. They were under control by Britain. Canada was told when and where to fight by the British. They were trying to grow there independence and trying to become there own country

My impression of Canada in the roaring 20's was that they were doing really good. Everybody was making lots of money from their jobs and the stock market. They had lots of money to spend and they were buying new cars houses and they could afford to eat out at restaurants. WW1 was going on so Canada was under control by Britain. They were told where to fight and when to stop fighting. They were trying to get there independence.   

Week 1 - WW1 Artifacts

The World War 1 artifacts were a very fortunate lend to allow us to learn more about the war. What I enjoyed most about the artifacts, was seeing the equipment in person. Being able to physically feel the objects was an amazing experience. All of the artifacts were interesting to learn about, and had a variety to them. Also, it was a great idea to have real and recreated artifacts in the box. I would suggest to the company providing these artifacts to add more details about the artifacts (if possible), the details seemed too short.

Third Blogger

Third BloggerThe Winnipeg General Strike is Canada's best known general strike that happened on May 15-25, June 1919. There was massive unemployment and inflation. In Winnipeg on May 15, 1919, and when negotiations broke down between management and labor in the building and metal trades, the Winnipeg trades and Labor council called a general strike. At stake were the principle of collective bargaining, and better wages and working conditions. Within hours almost 30,000 workers left their jobs. The strike left a legacy of bitterness and controversy among organized labor groups across Canada

The message of this poster is saying that everyone should go to war, there's no excuse to fight for your country, all men should fight in the war
B)Targeting people who aren't fighting, techniques- Guy talking, man standing doing nothing, the caption

First Blogger- artifacts Box

What I found Interesting about the box is that some of the artifacts are real. But what I also found that should be included is more interesting artifacts from the war, and also more real artifacts even if they have dents and stuff it makes it look neater. What I also found is some of them worked even if they weren't real like the gas mask alarm, it was really loud. I like the idea that younger kids can see what the artifacts looked like and how they worked when in battle or what each item looked different and were never the same and they were unique.

How did people in the 30s cope with the depression

   People in the 30 coped with the great depression by going to the beach and swimming this was a inexpensive way to escape the well the horrors of every day life. swimming was also very popular in the summer when it was hot out side. They also escaped through music\ the radio this wasn't easy because if people knew that you had a radio that means that you had more money than every one else witch could led to you not being able to get food from the soup kitchens.  They could also escape through the television but at that time they were few and far between because they were most likely sold for money at that time

Canada during the 1914-1929

     These years in Canada's history are the years where we really became more independent. over these years Canada started to become less dependent on Britain  and more influenced by America. like by the way we dressed and the way we ate and even the way we acted. we also began to device, lie to and even keep stuff from Britain . therefore in these years Canada became more independent. I believe that it was bound to happen because even as people we get to a certain age where we become less dependent on mom and dad . Where we are more influenced by our friend pop-culture and the media in the same way Canada really became more independent in there "teenaged years."

1920's

In the 1920's we had a large amount of people investing in the stock market and the prices went up and up. while the businesses were doing horrible and they were losing out on a lot if money. eventually our karma would come back and kick us into the dust, and cause one of the worst times in Canadian history.

S.S. St.Louis

I agree with Canada's treatment of the refugees because i believe that if we did not have the money to keep them in Canada then we shouldn't have too.Canada made a responsible move because if we did bring them in then the economy would have been even worse and at that time we could not have that. It was also good because because we could have in the depression everyone was freaking out and if we brought in a bunch of refugees then there might have been a riot. There might have been a riot because people might have gotten mad that we brought inn a bunch of people that we didn't have money to keep here. I think Canada made a responsible and wise decision by doing what they did.

The Chanak Crisis

        The Chanak Crisis is the biggest event that happened to make Canadian independence grow. This is because Turkey had threatened Britain. Britain then volunteers Canada to help. Prime Minister King said no, its up to the Canadian parliament to decide. That was the first time someone had straight up said no to Britain, which shows how much Canadian independence is growing. It has since then changed Canadian identity over the years.
