1st Quote:
“…We suffered all the winter for things we left on the way…”
~This quote shows that Canada had very cold temperatures during winter time. The refugees had nothing for bedclothes at night, so they slept in their day clothes. No doctors were available back then; they would get sick, thus they had to suffer for long periods of time.
2nd Quote:
“A man can get more information in Canada about slavery, than he can in the South. There I would have told you to ask master, because I would have been afraid to trust a white man. “
~This quote shows that Canada had a freedom of speech. You were able to have your questions answered by anybody. On the other hand, in the South, a slave was only able to communicate with its master because white man were not to be trusted.
Consequences Of Irish Immigration
This untitled cartoon shows the Irish as obese, wasteful, violent, drug abusing monkeys. John Bull (Britain) shows Uncle Sam that he will take care of the troublemaker.
This image illustrates two British men pointing and laughing at an Irish immigrant. The Irish man is impersonated into an obese, greasy , and foolish monkey holding weapons in his hands. The violent Irish monkey has caused a lot of chaos. He seems to be crazy wasted, thus grabbing for himself everything that crosses his sight. He has “stolen” from the British bottles of rum, along with many barrels/ boxes containing essentials items (sugar, flour, corn, soap, etc).
The Irish are depicted as foolish, lazy & greasy alcoholics which are selfish and eat away all the British’s resources. They have no manners and controls over their actions.
The cartoonist is trying to convey that the Irish just sit around doing nothing, other than goof around, thus they should not be trusted and treated with respect.
Women’s Equality Since The 19th Century
Women’s Equality Since The 19th Century
Explain how far women’s equality has progressed since the early 1800s.
Since the 1800s, many aspects of a women’s every day life significantly changed due to the evolution in society.
Back then, in the urban area, women were expected to fulfil domestic responsibility such as cooking, managing a low budget and making candles, soap, etc. They also had to make and repair clothing. In addition, women had no voice when it came to decision making. If the men (head of household) made a decision, the women had to just follow their say. Nowadays, both sides of a couple make decisions for their family or themselves. In most cases, both voices have an equal importance when it comes to decision making. However, women are still expected to cook for their families, but they now have more of a choice in doing so.
During the 1800s, in the rural area, women were seen and treated as “objects”. They were the ones responsible for feeding their families. Also, fur traders only wanted to take advantage of women from their marriage. The men benefited because their wives had access to forts/trading posts, they acted as interpreters and navigators (guides), and they had survival skills. Nowadays, most cultures base their marriage on pure love, not for taking advantage of one another.

How would global warming affect the settlement patterns of Canadians?
Global warming has the possibility to become a problem for Canada. The terrain’s regions would affect the population density. An increase in temperature in Canada would result in obvious differences in each topography region. People’s settlement patterns would differ.
Terrain and temperature are the main reasons that affect people’s settlement. People are more likely to settle in areas with a flat landscape and warm, decent temperatures rather than a rocky landscape with freezing cold temperatures.
Appalachian Region:
In case of global warming, an important change in population will occur in this region. People would either chose to continue living in this region (population increase) or they would chose to move somewhere else with similar temperature but less populated. Likewise, this region is mostly made up of Canadian islands thus, there is a limited amount of space, pushing the population into finding a different place to settle in.
The Canadian Shield Region:
In case of global warming, this region would not be much affected by the fluctuation in population. This area is mainly rock, thus not many people tend to settle here because growing food is difficult in this region.
The Arctic Region:
Only a handful people currently live here because of the extremely cold temperature. However, in case of globe warming, this area would have an increase in temperature, making more people chose to settle here. So, the population density level would increase just a little because this region is still going to have fairy cold temperatures overall.
The St. Lawrence Lowlands:
The population here would increase because of its excellent agriculture & flat landscape. In case of global warming, many people would settle here, creating a high population density region.
The Interior Plains:
The population here would spread out throughout Canada. The population would increase because people will want to travel to this area (flat landscape).
The Cordillera:
In case of global warming, the population here would become more dense because there is not a lot of space to spread out on the rocky surface. The already inhibited places would attract even more people, causing an increase in population density.
Vegetation and Formation of Canada’s Physiographic Regions
Existant Biomes In Each Physiographic Region:
Arctic:
-Subarctic
-Tundra
Cordillera:
-Grassland
-Parkland
-Open Woodland
-Coniferous Forest
-Coast and Interior Forest
-Tundra
Interior plains:
-Grassland
-Parkland
-Open Woodland
-Coniferous Forest
-Tundra
The Canadian Shield:
-Subarctic
-Mixed Forest
-Open Woodland
-Tundra
St. Lawrence Lowlands:
-Coniferous Forest
-Mixed Forest
Appalachians:
-Open Woodland
-Coniferous Forest
-Mixed Forest
Describing The Biomes:
Subarctic- swampy; scattered coniferous trees mixed with tundra vegetation. Wildlife: caribou, lemmings, and snowy owls.
(The Mackenzie Mountains, Yukon-Northwest Territories)
Tundra- treeless landscape mostly low shrubs, mosses, and lichens. Polar bears, seals, walruses, muskox, and Arctic foxes survive here.
(Keewatin area, Churchill, Manitoba)
Open woodland- scattered evergreen trees, shrubs, and grass. Caribou, martens, bears, geese, beaver, and lynx all live here.
(Woodland West)
Coniferous forest- Evergreens such as spruce, fir, pine, and aspen. Wildlife: deer, moose, black bears, fur-bearing animals, hawks, eagles, wild ducks. This are contain infertile soil.
(Alberta)
Coast and interior forest- Wet and mild climate. The slopes of mountains above the treeline have Tundra and Arctic vegetation; there is short grass and plants. There is an abundant wildlife: cougars, mountain sheep, bears, moose, and birds.
(Boughton Island, Central Coast B.C.)
Mixed forest- softwood trees: hemlock and cedar & hardwood trees: maple, birch, oak, and ash. There is the same wildlife as in the coniferous forest. Soil is more fertile in mixed forests than in coniferous forests.
(Algoma Highlands, Ontario)
Parkland- long grasses, clumps of aspen and cottonwood trees; the wildlife is the same as in the coniferous forest and grasslands.
(Alberta)
Grassland- short grasses, not enough moisture for trees… Wildlife: antelope, gophers, and wild fowl. The soil here is more fertile than in the forest regions.
(Frenchman River Valley and Three Sisters Butte, West Block)
The Formation of Physiographic Regions:
Arctic: Fold mountains were formed by the build up of pressure from the Canadian Shield pushing up sedimentary rock.
Cordillera: Formed by the collision of the North American and Pacific plates.
Interior plains: Made up of soil that was carried down by rivers from the Canadian Shield and deposited at it’s edge. Then, they turned into flat lands, river valleys and rolling hills.
The Canadian Shield: Used to be a volcanic mountain range. Over time, weathering and erosion have worn land down to a landscape of flat, bare rocks, lakes, and wetlands.
St. Lawrence Lowlands: Formed when ice sheets retreated and pushed soils to make lowlands. When the ice sheets melted, huge lakes were created all over the St. Lawrence region.
Appalachians: Range of mountains that were worn down by glaciers and erosion. It made a diverse landscape of rolling hills, valleys, small mountains, highlands, and coastal fjords.
Topography Of Canada
Topography Of Canada
Arctic Region
The arctic region consists of plains, lowlands, and mountains. The sedimentary rock has been pushed up by the pressure at the northeastern edge of the Canadian Shield, forming a range of fold mountains. Kettle lakes and glaciers are found in that area as well, along with plenty minerals located in the mountainous areas.
Baffin Mountains (Located in Nunavut)
Cordillera Region
The cordillera region is a diverse landscape made up of parallel mountain ranges separated by plateaus, trenches, and valleys in British Columbia and Yukon. This area which also includes dormant volcanoes, glaciers, and ice fields, is part of a chain of mountains that stretch from Alaska to Chile. The landform was formed through plate tectonics movement. Plate collision caused the earth’s crust to push together and folded volcanic rock into mountains.
Montane Cordillera
(Incorporated in the valleys of Bristish Columbia such as the Albertafoothills and Okanagan Valley)
Interior Plains region
The Interior Plains spread from the Canadian Shield to the Cordillera mountains. They formed when soil carried away by rivers from the Canadian Shield deposited at its edge. Sedimentary rock was then formed, which became areas of flat land, rolling hills, and river valleys. Overtime, remains of plants and animals were pressed between sedimentary layers, which formed deposits of fossil fuels (oil, gas) and evaporites (potash).
