Montreal had not endured such a negative impact since the mid 18 century, after the British had colonized in Montreal after defeat. The economy had received a downfall and a major loss in jobs, as the cities manufacturing centers were unable to keep up with growing international competition. Companies have found greater opportunity to gain greater profits by investing in manufacturing centers in countries such as Mexico, China, and India. Montreal was unable to compete with their international competitors, and this downturn severly affected the economy. It wasn’t until the mid 1980’s, where Montreal’s economy and employment rate took a positive turn.
Wages in the industrial sector were not keeping up with huge increase in manufacture and profits. Stocks lost a huge amount of money in a single day. Investors who had borrowed money to buy stocks were particularly hard hit, as were the banks that had lent the money (Canadian History 1201). Therefore the stock market crash was a very big event that caused The Great Depression. There were many factors that caused the Great Depression.
The Canadian Shield covers almost half of Canada, and covers two thirds of Ontario. It provides us with a lot of our resources such as the mining industry with resources for amethyst, cobalt, copper, gold, iron, nickel, platinum, silver, zinc and many other minerals. Since the shield is so old, it has been through many ice ages. Glacial features found in the Shield include outwash, eskers, moraine, kames, whalebacks and drumlins. Glacial activity helped to form the basins and paths for the many lakes, which contribute to Canada’s beautiful landscape.

Ryan Melanson 21 August 2012 The Uniqueness of Alberta Provincial Politics Since its birth as a province in 1905, Alberta’s political history and culture has been, in a number of ways, curiously different from its fellow provinces. The current Progressive Conservative government, barring a major surprise in the near future, is poised to surpass the former Nova Scotia Liberals as the longest serving provincial government, with it’s predecessor, Social Credit, ruling for a respectable 26 years. The ideology responsible for electing these governments differs greatly not only from central and eastern Canada, but also from their prairie neighbours in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, whose voters have fairly consistently elected provincial governments
They were growing in the same area, but they are significant differences in many aspects in economy. Despite the common though that Canada and Mexico have similar industry to sustain economic, these two countries still have different development in industry. The most important industry in Canada is manufacturing. Manufacture is a biggest industry in Canada. This industry includes a large part of transportation equipment production; this is largest sector in manufacture field.

According Statcan (2013b) natural population growth has been very minimal and as such a greater percentage of Canada’s population growth rate can be attributed to immigration both internal and external (see figure 2.0). In the Toronto CMA area, a myriad of factors have contributed to both the rapid and the gradual and rapid redistribution of population between the central city, inner suburbs and the outer suburbs. According to Mendleson (2013), the rapid growth of population in the suburban Toronto in the 60s and 70s was caused majorly by the middle class escaping the bustle and hustle of the city to move to quieter suburbs. The pollution and noise in the central city was becoming unbearable for the middle class that was increasingly becoming wealthy. However, the 90s and the 2000s marked the decline in growth of these outer suburbs.
I will show that when looking at trade and economics within the towns and cities we can see the transformation of society within the Middle Ages. The growth of towns and cities meant an increase of existing towns and the new establishment of the new towns and cities. Between the Norman Conquest and the 1300s more than one hundred and twenty five towns were founded in England. Fairs and Markets increased during the medieval England and it became a type of business, a franchise was needed in order for a market of a fair to exist. A franchise of fair or market could only be exercised by right of a grant from the crown or by the authority of parliament.
One of the sectors where Canadians are still feeling the pressure is employment. The U.S stock market crash has been important for many reasons, the most important between them being the damage on wealth. Estimates differ on exactly how much citizens, corporations lost, but most figures are around the tens of trillions mark. These losses have not only been “colossal, but by dropping the worth of investments, they've made an increased risk and higher borrowing costs for businesses, which will affect their profit margins and ability to hire and keep employees for future years” (eHow.com, p. 1). The American market crash is being felt worldwide.
