• Homer: How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?

did not involve them as Canadians• Laurier sent a volunteer army, which French Canadians considered
doing too much and English Canadians considered doing too little• Henri Bourassa French-Canadian nationalist, resigned from

• The wind and the sun place a wager over who can make a traveler remove his jacket. The wind blows and blows only to have the man pull his jacket even tighter. The sun then smiles warmly down, and the man eventually takes of his jacket on his own accord.

More Recently
• The 49th Parallel and Beyond• December 3, 2006• Vancouver Sun• Canada and the United States are debating
heavily over whether or not the Southern tip of Vancouver Island (including Victoria) rightfully belongs to the United States. The United States argues that the tip of Vancouver Island is below the 49th Parallel and therefore rightfully belongs to the USA. Canadian officials argue that Vancouver Island was originally a British territory and is rightfully a part of Canada.”

![Page 26: Mr. Pollitt Social Studies 11 Blk A Unit 1: History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649eda5503460f94be9336/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Why Immigrate?• Pull factors (lured immigrants to Canada):
• Canada was a democratic nation which meant freedom from religious persecution
• Promise of free land in Western Canada
• immigration agents were stationed in foreign countries in order to recruit immigrants
![Page 27: Mr. Pollitt Social Studies 11 Blk A Unit 1: History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649eda5503460f94be9336/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
![Page 28: Mr. Pollitt Social Studies 11 Blk A Unit 1: History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649eda5503460f94be9336/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Why Immigrate?
• Push factors (forced immigrants to leave their countries):
• religious persecution in their home countries
• poor economic conditions meant that it was very difficult for people to make a living or to get ahead in life
• shortage of land• limited work
![Page 29: Mr. Pollitt Social Studies 11 Blk A Unit 1: History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649eda5503460f94be9336/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Come to Canada eh!
• Open-Door Policy: the 1872 Dominion Lands Act sought to entice immigrants to Canada
• Promise of free land • Freedom from religious
persecution • The Home Children
programme (orphan or immigrant children were placed in Canadian homes) was part of this policy as well
![Page 30: Mr. Pollitt Social Studies 11 Blk A Unit 1: History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649eda5503460f94be9336/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Immigration• Ethnocentricity the belief that one’s culture or ethnicity is
superior to other cultures or ethnicities.
• English Canadians thought that their culture/race was superior to other cultures/races, resulting in discrimination against certain immigrants
![Page 31: Mr. Pollitt Social Studies 11 Blk A Unit 1: History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649eda5503460f94be9336/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Racist Immigration Policies
• Chinese Head Tax 1885: The Canadian government used Chinese labour to build the national railway during the latter half of the nineteenth century
• Once the railway was completed, the governments made all Chinese immigrants pay a $50 head tax to enter the country in order to deter Chinese immigration, increasing it to $500 per person by 1903
![Page 35: Mr. Pollitt Social Studies 11 Blk A Unit 1: History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649eda5503460f94be9336/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Racist Immigration Con’t
• Chinese Exclusion Act: the Head Tax did not stop Chinese immigration
• 1923 Chinese Exclusion Act, prevented Chinese immigrants from entering Canada
• The act was not repealed until 1947
![Page 36: Mr. Pollitt Social Studies 11 Blk A Unit 1: History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649eda5503460f94be9336/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Racist Immigration Policies Cont
• Continuous Passage: 1908 Bill of Direct Passage• immigrants must reach Canada via an uninterrupted journey
from their country of origin
• Immigrants from India and Japan could not arrive in Canada without having stopped along the way
• the Canadian government could then legally deny them entry to the country
• India was a British colony (part of the Commonwealth), which meant that Canada would have to let Indians immigrate • continuous passage legislation allowed Canada sneakily to deny British
citizens entry into a Commonwealth country
![Page 38: Mr. Pollitt Social Studies 11 Blk A Unit 1: History.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070410/56649eda5503460f94be9336/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Komagata Maru
• Komagata Maru: in the summer of 1914, a ship carrying 376 Sikh immigrants arrived in Vancouver, and was turned away by officials citing the “continuous passage” legislation
• The ship waited off the coast of British Columbia for roughly two months before being forced to return to India (via Japan) with all 376 passengers still on board
