Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kapuskasing an Historical Sketch: No; 38, January, 1921 Two decades ago, at the beginning of the twentieth century, even Canadians knew the vast hinterland to the north of Old Ontario and Quebec only as a limitless and unprofitable wildness. From Manitoba east to Labrador, stretching two thousand miles in length and various hundreds in width, stood the battered granite foundations of the oldest mountain range in the world, hills already incomprehensibly ancient when the Rockies, Alps and Himalayas were first upheaved in Tertiary times, yet still formidable enough to act as a great natural barrier. Four hundred miles north of the C. P. R. the Hudson's Bay Company factors were still bartering with Crees and Ojibways on the shores of a great inland sea. What lay between was held to be a primeval chaos of barren rock, a veritable abomination of desolation. In 1902 the Ontario Government began to build the Temiskaming and Northern Ontario Railway, an exploration road striking almost due north into the hills above North Bay. In 1903 the railway-builders uncovered silver deposits at Cobalt, now perhaps the richest silver-mining centre in the world, and the Canadian people awoke suddenly to the potentialities of this despised wilderness. A small but rich area of farm land was next found in the Lake Temiskaming basin further north, and under a liberal colonization policy agricultural development almost kept pace with mining operations. North of Lake Temiskaming, the railroad slashed its way into the hills once more, drawn on by the discovery of immense gold deposits near Swastika and Porcupine. Meanwhile the Laurier government had begun in 1905 to build the National Transcontinental from Moncton to Prince Rupert. This new road crossed Ontario far to the north of any previous settlement, and disclosed for the first time, north of the rocky height of land, an immense tract of millions of acres of arable land, known thereafter as the Great Clay Belt.

Book Synopsis The Racial Mosaic by : Daniel R. Meister
Download or read book The Racial Mosaic written by Daniel R. Meister and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2021-12-22 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada is often considered a multicultural mosaic, welcoming to immigrants and encouraging of cultural diversity. Yet this reputation masks a more complex history. In this groundbreaking study of the pre-history of Canadian multiculturalism, Daniel Meister shows how the philosophy of cultural pluralism normalized racism and the entrenchment of whiteness. The Racial Mosaic demonstrates how early ideas about cultural diversity in Canada were founded upon, and coexisted with, settler colonialism and racism, despite the apparent tolerance of a variety of immigrant peoples and their cultures. To trace the development of these ideas, Meister takes a biographical approach, examining the lives and work of three influential public intellectuals whose thoughts on cultural pluralism circulated widely beginning in the 1920s: Watson Kirkconnell, a university professor and translator; Robert England, an immigration expert with Canadian National Railways; and John Murray Gibbon, a publicist for the Canadian Pacific Railway. While they all proposed variants of the idea that immigrants to Canada should be allowed to retain certain aspects of their cultures, their tolerance had very real limits. In their personal, corporate, and government-sponsored works, only the cultures of "white" European immigrants were considered worthy of inclusion. On the fiftieth anniversary of Canada's official policy of multiculturalism, The Racial Mosaic represents the first serious and sustained attempt to detail the policy's historical antecedents, compelling readers to consider how racism has structured Canada's settler-colonial society.

Book Synopsis Managing the Canadian Mosaic in Wartime by : Ivana Caccia
Download or read book Managing the Canadian Mosaic in Wartime written by Ivana Caccia and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2010 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the outbreak of the Second World War in Europe, the Canadian government realized that the war effort required not only invoking national consciousness but also involving the twenty percent of the country's population who were not of British or French origins. Managing the Canadian Mosaic in Wartime explores both the anxieties that characterized public debated and policy making at the time and the pragmatic view that the wartime project depended upon the successful integration of marginalized immigrant communities. This history provides a key to understanding the later development of multiculturalism in Canada. At the time, Canadian policies regarding ethnic communities were preoccupied with the involvement and loyalty these communities might have with their homeland's politics and with fears of infiltration from either the left or right of the political spectrum. Focusing on the creation and operation of government institutions and committees devised to exercise subtle control of minority groups, Ivana Caccia explores the shaping of Canadian identity, the introduction of government-inspired citizenship education, and the management of ethnic relations in the mid-twentieth century. An engaging work that offers an important account of nation building in Canada and the treatment of ethnic minorities in times of heightened international tensions, Managing the Canadian Mosaic in Wartime provides crucial insights into multicultural policy and the possibility of parallels with the preoccupations with security and surveillance in the aftermath of 9/11.

Book Synopsis A Nation of Immigrants by : Franca Iacovetta
Download or read book A Nation of Immigrants written by Franca Iacovetta and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2017-06-22 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection brings together a wide array of writings on Canadian immigrant history, including many highly regarded, influential essays. Though most of the chapters have been previously published, the editors have also commissioned original contributions on understudied topics in the field. The readings highlight the social history of immigrants, their pre-migration traditions as well as migration strategies and Canadian experiences, their work and family worlds, and their political, cultural, and community lives. They explore the public display of ethno-religious rituals, race riots, and union protests; the quasi-private worlds of all-male boarding-houses and of female domestics toiling in isolated workplaces; and the intrusive power that government and even well-intentioned social reformers have wielded over immigrants deemed dangerous or otherwise in need of supervision. Organized partly chronologically and largely by theme, the topical sections will offer students a glimpse into Canada's complex immigrant past. In order to facilitate classroom discussion, each section contains an introduction that contextualizes the readings and raises some questions for debate. A Nation of Immigrants will be useful both in specialized courses in Canadian immigration history and in courses on broader themes in Canadian history.
