Nellie McClung and the feminist movements

# data[].attributes.body
Nellie Letitia McClung born Helen Letitia Mooney 20 October 1873 in Ontario and  on  1 September 1951 she died in Victoria. she had five children fours sons and one daughter. she got married when she was 23 years old to Robert McClung . She was a Canadian suffragette, politician,author ( she did not know how to read until she was nine)  and a social activist. She and four other women started a group to  get  more rights of women, she helped organize the Women's Political Equality League, a group devoted  to women's suffrage.Manitoba became the first province in Canada to grant women the vote on 28 January 1916, Nellie moved to Alberta to get women the right to vote and get basic rights it did not take long for Nellie to over involved in the suffrage in Alberta and not long after joining women got the right to vote in Alberta. I think  this is important part of Canadian history because Canada is know as a free country but 100 years ago i would not be able to vote or have basic rights and so this movement started so much more more then people like Nellie McClung could even dream of and because of people like Nellie McClung i have the right to vote and do so much more. If we did not have people like Nellie McClung what would our Canada look like today? But i am  so very happy we do not have to answer that question  because  we did have people like Nellie McClung  that fought for all our basic rights and help change Canada for the better.

The 1900's was a time of people discovering new ways of using technology and making it for better use for society. The first big change in society was the Model - T, It was the first car ever made, and it was created by Henry ford. It was a new way to get around and take you where you needed to go. The only problem was is that it was not durable or strong enough to handle off roads, and back then there was not as many roads as there are today. Farming changed in a very significant way in the 1900's like the gasoline tractor, combine harvester plus new specialized machinery like row cultivators for tobacco and corn crops appeared in Canadian fields. Another huge thing that changed society was communication through vacuum tube telephone repeaters improved long distance communication. The Trans Canada telephone system, opened in 1932. During the 1920's and 1930's, most urban areas of Ontario and Quebec were converted to direct dial telephone service. By 1927 Canadians were able to telephone Europe  via the US. This invention was amazing for the military so they were able to send information through the telephone. Imagine living in a world today where some of these inventions were not invented how do you think our lives would change? Things like telephones, we would not have to communicate with our friends and send text messages like we do everyday. Without cars we would not be able to drive and take us to our jobs, school, etc These are things we shouldn't take for granted. This is why our history is so important.          By: Evan Hollinsky

Residential School's and their effect on the indigenous peoples of Canada

# data[].attributes.body
It has been theorized that suicide behaviors amongst indigenous peoples may be an outcome of mass trauma experienced as a result of colonization. In Canada, evidence has suggested that the Indian Residential School System set in motion a cycle of trauma, with some survivors reporting subsequent abuse, suicide, and other related behaviors. It has been further theorized that the effects of trauma can also be passed. Today, there are four generations of Canadian First Nations residential school survivors who may have transmitted the trauma they experienced to their own children and grandchildren. -Rob
