Life was hard, everyone had to endure hardships in order to meet the daily challenges of survival. Most people (those who weren’t rich) had to start from scratch with nothing but uncultivated land, only the crown and the church had the already cultivated valuable land. Why did people come here? They came here because they were promised with a better life in Canada. Though this was the case for many colonists, they still had to put a lot of effort on to not only their land, but also on their families for the sake of surviving. Most men worked outside, usually either constructing, farming, hunting, chopping trees, chopping wood (for warmth near the fireplace), or just simply managing their own lands. They had to use nothing but their hands and …show more content…
Women, on the other hand, were seen to be working indoors, usually doing chores, raising their children, weaving and more. Men were seen to be the money makers while women were seen to be taking care of the family. Both genders had to cooperate in order to succeed in the struggle for existence. Colonists as a whole lived quite quietly in the dark with not much light but the moon, candles, and oil lamps. Families depended on others too, and cooperated by building schools, and raising funds to hire teachers with the payment of food and lodging for the futures of their very own children. The population also bonded by going to church, having the same religious beliefs. They also fairly relied on each other through a barter economy which was based off of trade. Had this population not cooperate, they wouldn’t have been as successful. Each group (ex: colonists) had to fight for their rights, with many hardships, against the loyalists who also had to cooperate as one. Even though the Loyalists had a similar experience, except for their better governing positions, wealth, and land (because they were loyal to the British crown). All in all, everyone endured some sort of struggle/hardship, whether it be raising a family, suffering through a power struggle between two classes, or just

Often historical events leading up to the twentieth century are dominated by men and the role of women is seemingly non-existent outside of reproduction. When one thinks of notable and memorable names and events of the Revolution, men are the first to be mentioned. The American Revolution was mainly dominated by men including George Washington, Samuel Adams, and Benjamin Franklin. There is no denying that men were vitally important to the American Revolution, but what were the women doing? Often overlooked, the women of the Revolution played a key role in the outcome of the nation. The women of the American Revolution, although not always recognized, were an influential society that assumed risky jobs like soldiers, as well as involvement
The steps to becoming a Canadian citizen are comprised of several components. The fact of the matter is that citizenship does not end when an individual obtains the documents that enable them to participate within civic duties and responsibilities. Based on the evidence of expert T.H. Marshall, within his academic essay entitled “Citizenship and Social Class”, the formation of social citizenship “promised greater economic equality, improvements in social welfare, services and education, and the opportunity for individuals to "share to the full in the social heritage and … live the life of a civilized being according to the standards prevailing in the society” (Marshall 1964). Social citizenship is also attributed as the basis of all forms of citizenship, yet is often debated whether it is currently possible and exercised by those of who it would benefit. According to the principles of T.H. Marshall’s literary work, social citizenship is active, as demonstrated through: the four core aspects citizenship, the basis of social policy, and the resulting actions taken by governing bodies.
As is well known, There are many differences in legal system between Canada and China, since Canada is a country whose legal system is mainly common law system except Quebec, and China is a country whose legal system is civil law system based on Socialism. Since this passage could not summarize all the differences between two legal systems in such short passage,and the author is more interested in legislation which is the beginning symbol of law, so this passage will focus on comparing the differences of legislation between two countries in the following section.
Came to Canada in 2011 and had begun a fresh new start, but being an immigrant has its fair share of hardships. Though that didn’t stop him from making friends and chasing after opportunities to better his education, discovering simple things like part-time jobs. He was able to broaden his perspective on life after coming here though just like the rest of us, he doesn’t know where he wants to go and where his passion lies. Cautious, determined and curious all at the same time he continues his never-ending journey to figuring out what his passions are.

North America is the third largest continent in the world right behind Africa, and Asia. Two of the largest countries in the world are, our very own, the United States of America and Canada. Canada is the second largest country in the world. Although they are a part of North America, Canada is very well known because of the European culture that is a part of their country. Before the Europeans came over to Canada, a large population of a group called the Paleo-Indians not only populated what would eventually become Canada, but they also inhabited the other countries of North America. After thousands of years living in Canada, Europeans came across the Americas and began to settle. In fourteen ninety seven , explorer John Cabot discovered and claimed land on the east coast of Canada for King Henry the eighth, two years after moving to England for Canada. After the discovery by John Cabot, other European countries became excited at the idea of the coastal areas in this new found land. The only European country to really establish themselves in what would be Canada, were France.
My mother was born in Hong Kong and my father was born in China, but I am prouder to have a Canadian heritage. Although my background roots back to Asia, I am honoured to carry a Canadian background and heritage, compared to the murky and questionable history of China.
Women and such called slaves played a huge role in the revolutionary war. Such as when the men went off to war the women and daughters had to take over the men's jobs such as managing the farm and shops, cutting wood. And the women played a huge role by giving good foods to the many soldiers and like cleaning. Without the women some soldiers would either die of starvation and more but the women played a big role in the revolutionary war.
During the colonial resistance, women had an important role. Many people do not think about how women affected the outcome of the resistance. While they not have been on the front lines putting their lives in danger, they were, however, being brave at home. They were at home doing everything they could to make a difference. The things they did made a big a difference, and had an effect on the outcome of the resistance.
The current issue of inadequacy of social inclusion of recent elderly immigrants in Canadian is directly related to the lack of a long-term, multi-dimensional and pan-Canadian
Many people in the world may think that Canada has the ideal system of healthcare for it's citizens, but that may not be entirely correct. Although the healthcare system in Canada has excellent features such as the standard of care and acceptance of all it's residents, it is quite often misconstrued. Each province in Canada is different, but they all run with basically the same set of rules and regulations, each required by law for the basic health care services to be provided. Canada's healthcare system is based upon five main principles, those being universality, portability, comprehensiveness, accessibility, and public administration. These principles are usually enforced, however, what some people do not realize is that there are a few negative aspects of the way healthcare is
On the contrary to some beliefs, the women did more work than you would expect. Since the men were usually working in factories or in the 1860’s fighting in the war, the women had to pick up a lot of slack. They would be a mother to the children, do all of the housework such as cooking,
During the 19th and 20th century immigration was vastly popular among the Irish and Chinese people. They faced rough travels across the oceans, dangerous disease causing many to die while on ships and navigated through harsh landscapes. Finding ships to take them was difficult along with the ride across the oceans which resulted in many fatalities for the Irish. Once they arrived both of them were discriminated against due to their ethnicity, culture and religion. Many of these people were used because they had no income to provide to themselves and their families resulting in them to take whatever means possible to survive. Even though years of discrimination and hardship the Chinese and Irish people still remain the Canada today in our society.
It was October, 1971. I was in the restaurant on the bottom floor of Rochdale, in Toronto, Ontario. The tall, infamous building housed a floor of Hare Krishnas, and also a floor of drug dealers, protected be menacing Dobermans. There was a notice board, which I regularly perused, and that day, an interesting ad jumped out at me. "Driving to Vancouver - Will take passenger - Share gas - Call Dan". How simple and straight forward. There was only one catch. It was winter across Canada.
