The St. Lawrence Seaway System of locks and canals Linked Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean Worked with US Important for trade Included power development too

Maurice Duplessis Maurice Duplessis ran Quebec from 1946-1959 like a dictator Tried to keep French culture and traditions-led to very few reforms “co-operation always, assimilation never” Died in 1959, election in 1960 led to…

The Quiet Revolution Jean Lasage (Liberal) elected “Things must change” slogan New mentality was maitre chez nous (“masters in our own house”) “Quiet Revolution” meant: -less influence of Catholic Church (schools, health care) -protections for workers -women got legal rights (before were considered children) -voting age lowers to 18 (from 21)

Immigration Between 1946-1979 4.7 million landed immigrants arrived in Canada Most arrived through Pier 21 in Halifax “the gateway that changed Canada forever”

Transition to a Consumer Society 1946-1953: 307 American branch plants opened in Canada Why might this be problematic?

Canadian Content Birth of television drove transition to a consumer society Most Canadians lived close to the US border & received American broadcasts 1952: first CBC Canadian television stations began broadcasting

Happy Birthday, Canada! Expo ‘67 Canada turned 100 and had a big birthday party Communities worked on centennial projects (I.e. parks, libraries) Expo ’67 was a world fair Purpose to exhibit advances in technology, the arts, etc 62 nations participated Canada at the centre of the world 50 million visitors came to Montreal

The Great Flag Debate Canada’s official flag was the Union Jack until 1965 PM Lester B. Pearson promised Canada a flag of their own Quebec nationalists wanted no symbol of British past

Some other options… Red Ensign favoured by Diefenbaker Pearson’s Pick

Imagine that Canada wanted a new flag What symbols and colours would best represent Canada today?

Questions to consider… Is this when Canada became the Canada we know today? Was Canada in the 1950s and 60s more or less independent than it had been in the past?
