made it to Ottawa at seven that evening. We tied up at the Skiff Club dock adjacent to the northern terminus of the Rideau Canal Waterway. The first eight locks climbed like stairs to the level of the city, but we were too late to lock through that day and too tired as well. Dad, Deb and I hiked up the steep hill to the venerable old hotel, Chateau Laurier, to be sure it was okay to dock for the night where we had tied up. We also made dinner reservations at Madame Burger’s across the Ottawa River in
Write up Template: my argument Philip It is clear that the trekkers are to blame for the On-To Ottawa Treck and the Regina Riot that followed it because it is evident that Trekker misunderstood Bennett and his intention and overreacted. Bennett did what he had to do when he established relief camps but the trekkers did not see the necessity of relief camp and overreacted. The relief camps were policy that Prime Minister Bennett created out of necessity from economical crisis. On March 4, 1934
that got annoyed by this expressed their feelings towards the government by protesting. They had jumped onto a freight train from British Colombia to hit Ottawa where they wanted to talk the B.R Bennett. Bennett stopped the train in Regina, Saskatchewan located in the Prairie’s, where they were all evicted off the train. The leaders went to Ottawa to negotiate with Bennett on their issues but weren’t successful. They returned to Regina to disband the strikers. “More than 300 RCMP dressed in riot gear
Exploring Canada Just saying the word Canada conjures images of the mighty Rockies, snow clad terrain, miles of cedar, fir and pine forests and the great Niagara Falls. Canada is any adventure sports lover’s holiday delight, but there is more to the country of mountains and snow, than meets the eye. A holiday in Canada throws up many exciting opportunities to both the seasoned and the occasional tourist. Why Canada? The more logical question would be, why not? Tourist attractions in Canada have
The 1920’s can be described as the “Roaring Twenties” whereas the 1930’s have been correctly called the “Dirty Thirties”. Politics, social conditions and economics separated the two decades, as there were huge transitions made in these categories from the 1920’s to the end of the 1930’s. To begin with, in the 1920’s, there were three main political parties. The Liberal Party was headed by William Lyon Mackenzie King and the Conservative Party was led by Arthur Meighen. King was a conciliator who
The Great Depression was not just a little event in history, hence the word “great”, but a major economical setback that would change Canada, and the world, forever. The word “great” may not mean the same thing it does now; an example of this is the ‘Great’ War. These events were not ‘good’ or ‘accomplishing’ in any way, quite the opposite, but in those times it most likely meant ‘big’. What made it big are many factors, both in the 20’s and 30’s, which can be categorized into three main points:
The Great Depression was a terrible point in Canadian history, and for most of the world. It was a point in time where thousands of people lost their jobs, and even lost their homes because of the depressed economy. Business was booming in the early 1920s, but when companies tried to expand, and therefore issued stocks, the economy was thrown off. Some investors sold their stocks for high prices, and as a result, everyone else followed. With less of a demand, stock prices became fractions of what

The Beginnings of a National Literary Tradition Canadians throughout their history have been concerned over the status of their national literature. One of the major problems facing early Canadian writers was that the language and poetic conventions that they had inherited from the Old World were inadequate for the new scenery and conditions in which they now found themselves. Writers such as Susanna Moodie, Samuel Hearne, and Oliver Goldsmith were what I would consider "Immigrant" authors
Canada became an emerging country after the Second World War. There was a need for Canada to identify themselves as a distinct nation from Britain and the United States. The Trans Canada Highway became a visible nationalistic figure that set apart Canada from other countries. The Trans Canada Highway was a significant structure built in 1949 through 1961 that emerged as a result of a newfound unity and nationalistic view in Canada. Although there were many different political, personal and economical
In the 1920 's just after World War 1, Canada experienced economic prosperity but a decade later it would all come crashing down. This decade was known as the Great Depression. During the period of the Great Depression, Canada underwent two political regimes which still didn 't help the country get out of the Depression. What makes this more interestingly is that the two regimes were at the opposite ends of the Canadian political spectrum yet neither parties had a clear framework for lifting Canada

“And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. Now Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire. Its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly. And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by voice. Then the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And the Lord called Moses to the
