Presentation transcript:

 Phrase used to brag about the British Empire at the time.  Had two meanings:  Symbolic: The British Empire will never end  Literal: Because of the size of the Empire, the sun is always up somewhere in the Empire at any time of the day.

 Government was worried that First Nations groups would resist settlement like the Metis.  Government had to persuade First Nations to sign treaties that gave up their rights to lands in the West.  Meanwhile, with the bison gone, many First Nations were starving and needed support.  First Nations were given reserves, an annual payment, and other things in exchange for the right to sell land to settlers.

 The railroad was needed to move settlers into the west,  Built by Chinese labourers, who were paid half as much as white workers, and often did the most dangerous work.

 Railroad was completed on November 7,  Financier Donald Smith drove the last spike into the rail, finishing it.

 When the railroad was finished in 1885, the Canadian government passed the Chinese Immigration Act.  Made Chinese people pay a “head tax” of $50 per person who wanted to come to Canada.  Very few could afford fee, so few of the labourers families could come to Canada.  In 1900, the tax was raised to $100.  In 1903, the tax was raised to $500. (Adjusted for inflation, that would be $10,400 in 2014)  Law was not repealed until 1947.

 The population in the West rose from 43,000 in 1871 to about 250,000 in  Some came from central Canada (about 40,000).  Some came from Europe, like the Mennonites and the Icelanders

 With all immigrants, there are Push and Pull factors.  Push factors make people want to leave their home countries.  Pull factors are the reasons they have for coming to Canada.

Push FactorPull Factor  Mennonites are pacifists, and didn’t want to fight in the Russian army.  Canada promised them that they could have land, and would not be forced to fight.

Push factorPull factor  Giant volcanic eruption in 1875 killed livestock and poisoned land.  Canada gave permission to Icelanders to have it’s own constitution and laws.  Started Gimli, MB. “Gimli” means “paradise”

Push factors Pull factors  Forced military service  High taxes  High poverty  Canada was a chance to be free from poverty  Ukrainians were still able to form close communities in Canada

Push factorsPull factor  Religious persecution  Religious freedom  Skilled labourers, so could find good jobs
