Canada and the Industrial Revolution: Unforeseen Consequences Industrialization and resulting urbanization occurred later in Canada than in other countries, lagging behind Britain and the United States. Real expansion took place between 1840 and 1890 (Hindman, 446). Industrialization and urbanization transformed Canadian lifestyles, created socially and physically stratified cities that promoted social injustice and inequality. The negative consequences of industrialization then spurred actions to rectify the problems. The Industrial Revolution began in England in the middle of the 1700s.
Inventions they brought with them included the circular saw, the threshing machine, the steam engine and the imperial measurement system. The English language has become the main language in Canada. “God Save the King” and “The Congress” were two of the songs Canada adopted. Some British foods eaten in Canada include trifle, Christmas pudding and fish and chips. With all this Britain has changed Canada a lot.

The frontier definitely moved at a different pace since they had horses and canoes versus cars, ships, planes, etc. Just think about how the Indian trails turned into roads, the roads then turned into turnpikes, then the railroads, etc. Improvements are always being made by each new generation, although, people may not realize the significance of our past history it is definitely a huge part of our present history. We need to understand the different stages of colonial life that brought about our development and advancement. From fur trading, farming, mines, and ranch life, each of these were very important and had a major influence on our economic and political history.

A Brief History of Saskatchewan First Nations Tribes Saskatchewan as a geographical area was over time home to many indigenous cultures. Social and environmental conditions forced human migrations across the Americas. The three main tribes were the Cree, Assiniboine, and the Saulteaux (Curtis xi). The Cree were split in two tribes, the Plains Cree and the Woods Cree. The Saulteaux tribe was also referred to as Plains Ojibwa (Curtis xii).
Yet the dropout rate is still high among their youth. On the contrary, the Assiniboine communities enjoy many community services which include a day school, community complex, fire hall, warehouse and a water treatment plant and so on. Like some Assiniboine reserves operates a golf course and multiservice food store and they speak English more widely than the native language. To sum up, the people of the Canadian Arctic are known as the Inuit compare with the original plains people of the Assiniboine. Both Inuit and Assiniboine have its own style of their food, social and political lifestyle, and present-day status.
The massive number of European immigrants that entered into America’s east coast from the late 1800’s and on forever influenced the growth and development of the country. Fleeing crop failure, famine, rising taxes, and land/job shortages, many immigrants journeyed to the United States because it was perceived as the land of economic opportunity. With hope for a brighter future, nearly 27 million immigrants arrived in the United States between 1880 and 1920. The majority of the immigrants entered through Ellis Island, leading it to become the gateway to America and become recognized as a national symbol. Many of the immigrants, not knowing the way America worked, didn’t stray too far from the East Coast and moved into areas filled with people of similar languages, traditions, and beliefs.
There are many things, words, or people that may try and define Canada and its political culture between the 1990's and present, but to be truly honest one must come to the conclusion that unless you intend to write more than a few measly sentences, you may not even come close. Now when many people try to describe the political culture of Canada they think of three things that have shaped the politics of our nation recently, the separatist movement in Quebec, the emergence of conservatism in the west, and the blow the Liberals have taken due to the emergence of the Sponsorship scandal and the Gomery inquiry. These three things, all encompassed into a single nation of politics is what shapes our nation today, and maybe even defines the term of Canadian political culture. Since the days when the first English - French confrontation happened in the recently discovered Canada, political culture in Quebec has always been different from the rest of the country. The French-Canadians have always been looking for and perhaps maybe pushing towards a separate and sovereign country of their own.
