1. What has happened!? What have we done!? The environment is ruined! It's the effects of our massive immigration! By: Jazmin Taylor

2. Immigration • In 1885 to 1914 over three million immigrants came to Canada! • Most immigrants came for a better life, away from rural poverty and urban slums.

3. Emigration • Canada also lost about three million people though emigration! • Most migrants chose to travel through Canada on their way to the United States or returned to their homelands shortly after arriving in Canada. • The most attractive pull factor of the States was the Hoyt Shoe Company where several hundred of the migrants went to work for a higher wage.

4. The Immigration Boom • In this boom Canada's population went from 5.4 million to 7.2 million! • This Boom was do to the sudden flow of wheat fields appearing in Alberta and many immigrants to the States went to look for agricultural work in Alberta instead. • It was also due to the building of the railroad.

5. Urban Life • The wealthy areas were complete with electricity and telephones. • The “wards” or poor areas had animals running amuck and cesspools filling the streets from dumped waste. • Everyone was blaming the “foreign” immigrants for urban strife, disease, and unsanitary surroundings. They demanded they clean up the cities.

6. Rural Life • The rural residents believed living in a rural area would lead to a healthy, moral, and charitable way of life. • The rural area was said to be a lonely place for bachelors to call their own until they found their sweetheart. • There was a house in the country for young migrants from Saskatchewan to stay until they settled in elsewhere.

7. The Advancement of Technology The large immigration was demanding when it came to technology, so some creative minds started to flow to meet their needs. In the next few slides you will see the technological upgrades from 1800 to 1940.

15. All These Inventions may have seemed mandatory back then, but think of now! Do we really need all that stuff? After all, there’s a lot of pollution coming from these things and even with the attempts to make them more efficient, will they be fully efficient in time to save our earth?! We need to take action against these harmful inventions and the harmful ways the immigrants treated our Canadian soil! Thanks For Watching!
