The first battle that the Canadian fought in was a brutal battle where gas was used. An attack opened serious gaps in the Canadian lines and forced the retreat of several battalions. But the First Division of the Canadian army held the ground outside Ypres. As a result of this, they ended up buying time until French and British reinforcements could be brought in. This battle showed would the power of the Canadian army as it was not an army to be looked down upon.

He became the first Canadian commander when Byng was appointed to command one of the British armies, he recommended Currie as his replacement. As a Canadian, this makes me proud as we are no longer for Britain but are now fighting alongside them as our own country. On top of being the first Canadian commander, Currie is widely considered one of the best generals of the First World War. To know that one of our own was one of the best generals in the First world war made me fee prideful of the people who fought for us. ]]> 2023-01-16 14:12:10 UTC https://padlet.com/341079572/56jeyir0ok8j1o14/wish/2445710000 341079572 https://padlet.com/341079572/56jeyir0ok8j1o14/wish/2445716543 One battle that was significant to Canadian history was the battle of Vimy Ridge. Europe had been at war for more than two and a half years by the spring of 1917, with neither side able to make a significant breakthrough at Vimy Ridge. That was until the Canadian stepped up. In one day the Canadian were able to do something that the British and French armies could not do for over 2 years. The pride that they must have felt when they won at Vimy Ridge. I am so proud to be Canadian when thinking about these moments in our history. To add this was also the battle after the start to refer to Canada as there own country instead of a British colony. That was the day that Canada became a country.  ]]> 2023-01-16 14:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/341079572/56jeyir0ok8j1o14/wish/2445716543 341079572 https://padlet.com/341079572/56jeyir0ok8j1o14/wish/2445732999 As a Canadian I feel ashamed of the fact the we would force the French Canadians to fight in a war that they do not care about. This was because They have no loyalty to the British or French and were abandon by the French people. Because of the Conscription Crisis the National Unity was hurt a lot. At the end of the day it was not even worth it as only 45,000 went to fight and when they got there the war was almost over.

This explosion only happened because the shipment was late and decided to rush things. As a result of being late, the bout was speeding on the wrong side. Because of our mistakes Over 2000 people dead in one explosion and about 9000 were wounded. Because of the war people at home had to died because we were not organized.

I am also proud of all the Canadians and their contributions and sacrifices that earned Canada a separate signature on the Treaty of Versailles.

This happened when employers refused to negotiate collectively with the trade councils, and the Winnipeg General Strike began. Roughly 35,000 workers were on strike to protest their low pay and poor working conditions. A group of striking workers formed the Strike Committee to oversee the strike and ensure that the basic needs of citizens and the city were met. And this is the reason that we have unions and our jobs are protected

It was said that  "The goal of residential schools was, according to the Indian Act, “To kill the Indian in the child” "(University of Waterloo). To add on this system was set up by the federal government, our own government wanted to kill the religion of young kids because there were not the same as theirs. ]]> 2023-01-16 16:21:56 UTC https://padlet.com/341079572/56jeyir0ok8j1o14/wish/2445843518 341079572 https://padlet.com/341079572/56jeyir0ok8j1o14/wish/2445844326 I can be proud as a Canadian that people fought for the right for women to work in the Senate. I am talking about the Famous Five which is a group of women who fought for this right. This was because, in 1928, the Supreme Court of Canada said that women were considered “qualified persons” according to the BNA which in today's time is called the constitution. The Persons Case allowed women to work in the House of Commons and the Senate. Additionally, it meant that women could no longer have their rights restricted based on a limited reading of the law.]]> 2023-01-16 16:22:52 UTC https://padlet.com/341079572/56jeyir0ok8j1o14/wish/2445844326 341079572 https://padlet.com/341079572/56jeyir0ok8j1o14/wish/2445844717 Because prohibition was legal in Canada liquor could be legally produced in Canada (but not sold there) and legally exported out of Canadian ports. As a result of this, a lot of people from the US would come to Canada and make alcohol illegally and bring it back to the US. This is because the US federal banned was very strict compared to Canada as it was a criminal offence in the USA.

Then he gave the Five Cent Speech in front of the Canadian Parliament. King said that he would refuse to give federal unemployment benefits to provincial governments. He ended his speech by saying he would not even give them a five-cent piece. Which shows that he did not want to help Canadians during the Great Depression. This was an embarrassment as he would not help the provinces and that he would never even give five cent.

Finally, the Parliament approved a law that provided CRBC with public funding. I am proud to know that because of everything that this country has done we Canadians finally have access to our own radio network, which allowed us to hear news from all over the world. This was significant in the run-up to World War II because it made it possible for Canadians who weren't actively engaged in the conflict to be informed. ]]> 2023-01-16 16:47:19 UTC https://padlet.com/341079572/56jeyir0ok8j1o14/wish/2445866822 341079572 https://padlet.com/341079572/56jeyir0ok8j1o14/wish/2445867954 After the World War and the 1920s the Great depression happened and the Prime Minister R.B. Bennett authorized the establishment of a nationwide network of camps to house and employ single, unemployed, and homeless Canadian men. Critics chastised the federal government for establishing the camps rather than developing a work-and-wage programmed. The most dramatic manifestation of this resentment occurred in April 1935, when 1,500 men from various British Columbia camps went on strike, demanding temporary improvements in camp living conditions as well as new work programmed from Ottawa.]]> 2023-01-16 16:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/341079572/56jeyir0ok8j1o14/wish/2445867954 341079572 https://padlet.com/341079572/56jeyir0ok8j1o14/wish/2445868465 I am embarrassed that the government would not lesson to the people when they were protesting about the working conditions and benefits in the camps. The employees were paid $0.20 per day for a 44-hour workweek. The federal government, however, was hesitant to provide work and wage programmed under Prime Minister R.B. Bennett. After two months of public agitation and protest in Vancouver, the strikers embarked on the On To Ottawa Trek to present their demands to Parliament.]]> 2023-01-16 16:49:18 UTC https://padlet.com/341079572/56jeyir0ok8j1o14/wish/2445868465 341079572 https://padlet.com/341079572/56jeyir0ok8j1o14/wish/2445873325 When the Nazis were taking over Europe they kick out most of the Jews. And Canada was one of the nations that refused to allow entry to passengers on the MS St. Louis. This was a ship carrying over 900 Jewish refugees trying to escape the Nazis. Because of the government's decision over a quarter of those on board would eventually die in the Holocaust.

The reason that we should be proud of our country is that it means that Canada is becoming an independent country and wants the world that it is Canada that is declaring war on Germany, not Britain. On top of that King George VI and Queen Elizabeth went to Canada at this time and were the first reigning British monarchs to ever visit Canada.

Because of this Canada began seizing some 12,000 fishing boats belonging to Japanese Canadians and selling them off to mostly white fishermen. Not only that more than half were Nisei, born and raised in B.C. and never went to Japan. I am assamed that we would take the Japanse Canadian boat and force them into  in Japanese internment camps throughout the war. It was said that approximately 22,000 Japanse Canadian were put in these camps. ]]> 2023-01-16 16:57:48 UTC https://padlet.com/341079572/56jeyir0ok8j1o14/wish/2445875861 341079572 https://padlet.com/341079572/56jeyir0ok8j1o14/wish/2445876802 The Italian Campaign was an important military effort for Canada during the war.

We should honor Veterans who fought in the Second World War as the casualties were over 26,000, 6,000 of which were fatal.
