What was the reason behind all this?, what was the reason behind all that happened in Vancouver?, racism, pure racism, because the people of Vancouver thought that the Indians were going to come into Vancouver and take over factories, mills, and lumber yards so the government proposed a new act called the Immigration Act which allowed no Indians in Canada unless they took a direct passage from there original country to Canada, which was impossible, so in other words Indians weren’t allowed in Canada, but Gurdit Singh decided to challenge the new Immigration act and send 394 Sikh Immigrants from Hong Kong to Vancouver on a ship called the Komagata Maru, and just because of that, just because of Gurdit Singh’s Idea to try and challenge the Canadian Government’s Idea of proposing a new Immigration Act. We now have Indians in Canada rather than just having Canadians, Chinese, and Japanese in Canada, and Indians in
That is why the British supported the Indians and recruited them as allies against their mutual enemy; the Americans. British commander–in-chief in North America Lieutenant General Sir George Prevost maintained a defensive strategy with his Indian and Canadian allies to defend Lower Canada from the American invading force led by Brigadier General William Hull who crossed the Detroit River on July 12, 1812. As soon as he learned of the outbreak of war British commander in Upper Canada Major General Isaac Brock ordered Captain Charles Roberts to capture Fort Mackinac, an American fort situated on an island of strategic importance. 600 British regulars, fur traders, voyagers, and Indian warriors surrendered the Fort causing American Lieutenant Porter Hank to surrender among with his 61 soldiers on July 17, 1812. Surprised by the fall of Fort Mackinac General Hull retreat his forces to the American side of the Detroit River and ordered Captain Nathan Heald to retreat his modest group of soldiers, militiamen, women and children out of Fort Dearborn to the safety of Fort

Woodrow Wilson came to Paris bringing with him a peace program, which was about his moral, idealistic notion of a new world order. His idea was to link the instrument of surrender for the Germans to the creation of the League of Nations. On the way to Paris, Wilson went to England, where he spoke about how he wished to overthrow the old diplomatic system, which had led to the escalation of the war even before he had made his "Fourteen Points" speech in January 1918. When the US first entered the Great War, the President wanted that there be “peace without victory” and his Fourteen Points outlined a proposed arrangement that altered diplomatic relationships to such an extent that future wars could be prevented. Wilson could clearly see that the conclusion of the Great War was an opportunity for him to advance his progressive policies.
Paul Yuzyk, a Progressive Conservative Senator of Ukrainian descent, referred to Canada as "a multicultural nation" in his influential maiden speech in 1964, creating much national debate, and is remembered for his strong advocacy of the implementation of a multiculturalism policy. [36] On October 8, 1971, the Liberal government of Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau announced in the House of Commons that, after much deliberation, the policies of bilingualism and multiculturalism would be implemented in Canada. [37] When the Canadian constitution was patriated by Prime Minister Trudeau in 1982, one of its constituent documents was the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and section 27 of the Charter stipulates that the rights laid out in the document are to be interpreted in a manner consistent with the spirit of multiculturalism. [38] The Canadian Multiculturalism Act was introduced during the Progressive Conservative government of Brian Mulroney, and received Royal Assent on July 21, 1988. [39] On a practical level, a result of the multiculturalism Act was federal funds began to be distributed to ethnic groups to help them preserve their cultures, leading to such projects as the construction of community centres.
One could argue that this was a positive choice for the Canadian Government for many different reasons. First of all, Canada was part of the Triple Entente so they felt obliged to provided soldiers for their Allied countries. Secondly, The Canadian Government could have felt that the extra support on the battlefield would help bring the war to an end sooner. Finally, a large amount of the Canadian population recently emigrated from Europe; they would feel compelled to help their originating countries during the War. Those are reasons why an individual would believe that the military service act was
The Famous 5 appealed the ruling in front of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council of London, which reversed the verdict of the Supreme Court of Canada. The Privy Council said that the term "person" was ambiguous and that if Parliament had wanted to exclude women from the term "person," it should have said so. And so it came to pass that in 1929, women acquired the right to exercise official functions, to attend university, and to practice a liberal trade. After this women were legally recognized as persons, obviously long overdue and this now allowed women the right to run for federal office and receive all the rights of a men. This was

Since 1892, death was the penalty for all murders in Canada. It was abolished in 1961, here by on murder was divided into capital and non-capital groups as act of Parliament.
