How Did The 1920s Affect Canada

The North-West Mounted Police also known as the NWMP was most effective from 1873 to 1920. It was created after the confederation. The NWMP had a big role in stopping the whiskey trade and the violence that was involved with it, on the southern prairies. Sir John A. Macdonald knew about the harmful effect of the whiskey trade on the Blackfoot, and Blood tribes, along with other First Nations. Lieutenant William F. Butler a British army officer said that the regions in Saskatchewan had no law, rules, and/or security for property or life. This caused robbers and murders to get away with their crimes, with no consequences. In June 1873, over 30 Assiniboines, American Indians were killed by the whiskey trade in an event called Cypress Hills Massacre. The NWMP affected Canada as it enforced the federal laws in the west, and the Arctic. They also helped end the North-West Rebellion with the federal government and made rules for the Klondike Gold Rush.Therefore, Canada was affected by the North-West Mounted Police in many ways.

In 1929 a major achievement was accomplished by the ``famous 5`` for canadian women. They achieved having women defined as an actual person according to the BNA act. Having this victory was a huge step for not just Canadian women but for women all over the world. This also allowed women to be themselves and live outside of the house and kitchen. It allowed them to dream big. For example in 1922 Martha Bowes was first Canadian women radio broadcaster. In 1928 Canada's olympic team allowed women for the first time. Finally in 1951, Canada`s first equal pay legislation between men and women was created by

For the First Nations people, the 1920’s certainly did not roar as well. Due to numerous previously signed treaties among the First Nations and Canadian government, most notably the “Indian Act” first signed in 1876. This allowed for First Nation people to become “wards of state”, which took away their indepenndence. Throughout the 20’s the government continued to make decisons for them, creating policies that incorparted asslimation into Canadian society. They were encouraged to forget their old customs, language, and life styles. These people were basically taught to not be proud of their past, but rather ashamed of it. Through the governments understanding, it woukd be easier to assilmate the Frist Nation people faster through their

Nothing could have better complimented  the end of WW1  than the 1920s, also known as the roaring twenties. This era is most notable for its help in  revolutionizing Canada into a  new modern age and help shape Canada into what it is today. This was a time of many new remarkable inventions like the automobile, the radio, and the telephone which all had advanced and change how we live today.  This era was also when Canada took the necessary steps in achieving greater autonomy from Britain. Canadians believed that Canada should no longer be controlled by a European power, so in the decades after war, Canada took steps toward independence. Canada joined the League of Nations in 1919. This was one of the first times canada took independent action in cooperation with a

Canada in the 1920s became independent with political, social and economic advances. The Paris Peace Conference and the League of Nations were the first political advances made by Canada after the First World War. Canada was independent because it was influenced by the Britain and America. The influenced by the American where Canadians moved to the United States to have a better job and higher pay, but had greater political independence towards the Britain. Canadian in the cultural industry, they listened to radio stations, magazines and films from the U.S.

In the decades of the 1920’s and 1930’s a lot of things changed in Canada, a lot of those changes made a large impact on the Canada we are living in today. During these decade’s women began to play much larger roles in society. Until the 1900’s women played no role in society. One women that stands out as an influential figure for the participation of women in society is Mary Pickford. Although women’s participation in society made an impact on shaping Canadian society, as did the development of Canadian culture during this time. The group of seven played a significant role in developing Canadian culture. The final thing that was a major part of shaping Canadian society in this time was new technology and transportation. During this time

The Great Depression also is known as the Dirty Thirties happened in the 1930s. It left Canada and the world in shock. Millions of Canadians were without jobs, and many became homeless. Countries across the world were affected by the Depression, such as the U.S.A. The USA was hit the hard which affected Canada. USA rely on Canada for fish and wheat when the U.S economy goes down Canada suffers. The U.S didn’t buy any more fish,wheat,minerals,pulp and paper from Canada. Many countries put high tariffs on goods,trading slowed down,people had to pay back their credit money they had borrowed from the government.Farmers were hit the hardest in Canada because if you could not pay for the land you would get evacuated. Droughts and grasshoppers infection started to happen which brought more suffering. Meat prices went up,some stores were closed down,Immigrant dropped 90% violence and crime went up. Men that didn’t have houses were sent to reliefs camps,the military setup 20 000 men to work sometimes works was useful,other times they would make work projects. They got 3 daily meals, work clothes,medical care, and 20 cents a day.The men would work 44 hours of cleaning brush,building roads,planting trees and constructing the public building.On April 1935, 500 men went on strike for better living conditions,more pay and fewer hours this has been just like the Winnipeg general strike. This depression made Canada what it is today,the economy is in better shape,people can find jobs and immigrants are taking over

The Canadian legal system was influenced dramatically by the Persons case, the Napoleonic code and the Magna Carta. First, the Persons case significantly influenced the Law system as known today. The Persons case, which took place in 1926 was regarding Emily Murphy, an Alberta police magistrate, otherwise known as a judge. While judging a case, her ruling was challenged because according to the British North America Act, women weren’t considered “persons.” In order to change this, Emily Murphy along with the Alberta Famous five started the legal process to prove that women were persons in 1928. The Famous five took the government to court, first at provincial level, then the Supreme Court, however they were unsuccessful. In 1929, the women

The Persons case was one of the most defining moments for Canadian women in history. Not only did it allow for women to work in the government but it opened so many doors for other issues involving women and their rights. The Persons Case was a constitutional ruling that gave the right to Women to be able to be appointed into the Senate. The case was started by the Famous Five, a group of women’s right activists, consisting of Emily Murphy, Irene Marryat Parlby, Nellie Mooney McClung, Louise Crummy McKinney and Henrietta Muir Edwards. In 1928, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that women were not “persons” according to the BNA act. Therefore, they were not eligible to hold a position in the government. The Famous Five were not pleased with this law that was degrading to women so, they appealed to the Privy Council of England and in 1929, the Court’s decision was reversed. The Persons Case enabled women to work for change in

Canada has faced many challenges in the twentieth century that have made a major impact on our lives today. Some examples include taking part in both world wars which helped our country gain global recognition, promoting immigration to make Canada a diverse multicultural country and initiating NAFTA in the 1980’s. One of Canada’s major breakthroughs included gender equality for women. Before this major change, women were viewed as less intelligent and should not have the same rights as men. These campaigns and actions taken by various individuals turned out to drastically impact Canada socially, politically and economically for the better.

The post-war time was a period where major changes were occurring. After being involved in two international conflicts, Canada was ready to reestablish their economy. During this time, Canada had started working on ways to become stronger and reputable. It is evident that Canada had matured through the post-war era. Canada’s economic progress left a positive impact on the growth of the country as consumerism became popular, and economic ties with America became stronger. Moreover, the removal of racial and ethical barriers contributed to Canadian social affairs such as the huge wave of immigration and the baby boom. The Canadian government also had become more aware and involved in issues impacting Canadian citizens. Canada as a whole

Although the US managed to create a name for themselves in the nineteenth century for Canada it was only the beginning. With all the actions, choices, improvements we made in the twentieth century, was it truly a shining time for us? Sir Wilfrid Laurier once said “I think we can claim that Canada will fill the twentieth century,” and in this essay, we will be looking at the different impactful events such as the social changes, our improving identity and creating distinction from the Us and Britain, which I believe made his prediction correct. So was Laurier's vision of the future accurately true? First, we will be looking at the social aspect and the events that occurred within Canada that helped with equality and made Canada an overall

Did Canada Become More or Less Independent in the 1920s? In my opinion, Canada became more independent in the 1920s due to the nation being together. Firstly, Canada had separated themselves from the British after world war one in order to establish its own roots. After Canada became a country of their own, the United States of America became economically friendly.

The 1920s was a changing time in Canadian culture and this affected everyone. The most effect could be felt on the family, and how responsibilities, duties and roles had changed. Men were coming home from the war, they had now seen things never thought possible and experienced things that will forever change them; they came home different. Women were at home waiting, excited, ready to move on and build to their families and continue their lives. Young girls were excited to have their father’s home, to tuck them in at night and to sit next to their fathers at church on Sunday mornings. And then there were the boys. Boys lives changed dramatically around the time of the war. This became a crucial issue for both families and societies. A lot of time, money, and education was spent on the ‘crisis’ of boys and their development. The development of boys was altered by the war and can be seen in their relationships with their mothers, the toys and activities that were available to boy’s, and the advertisements that surround boys clothing during this era.

When reflecting on the quality of live in the 1920s, women in the 1930s might have felt very disappointed. The 1920s was a decade of empowerment and also happiness for most women. One of the most significant events was the ‘Persons Case’. It allowed for women to be heard and for the public to see a different perspective on the situation. On October 18, 1929, when ‘the Judicial Committee declared its support for women” (Cranny, 69), it began the process of long term change for women in the future. It directly affected how people considered women and changed their mindsets to accept them, in things like voting, even more. As Henrietta Edwards stated in
