I didn’t know at that time but, we were in downtown and a place called ‘Chinatown’ where my other ethnicity has built during over time. There were hundreds of Chinese workers who assisted in the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway in Canada eventually resided near to Union Station. (It's so flyday. flyday Chinatown.)]]> 2023-01-12 03:23:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kellyzheng3/9r7g01w1b96qftmy/wish/2441713233 kellyzheng3 https://padlet.com/kellyzheng3/9r7g01w1b96qftmy/wish/2442456318 When the Chinese population became more popular in Canada, they started a thing called "head tax" for the chinese who wanted to immigrate. First the tax was 50$, then over time it went up to 100$, and then went up to 500$. Over the 38 years, it was effective to discourage the Chinese immigrant's to come to Canada. 82,000 Chinese immigrant's paid, which was nearly 23 million in tax. ]]> 2023-01-12 15:43:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kellyzheng3/9r7g01w1b96qftmy/wish/2442456318 kellyzheng3 https://padlet.com/kellyzheng3/9r7g01w1b96qftmy/wish/2443759532 When groceries stores and stock markets were losing millions of dollars each day,citizens started to lose their jobs and economics weren't hiring. Some people got evicted from their houses, women started to work instead of men because they stayed at home because of being homeless or unemployed. Since the market was losing money everyday, families moved often to try and find a better living space and find more work. Due to unemployment and homelessness, people depended on soup kitchens and bread lines for food and survival. ]]> 2023-01-13 16:00:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kellyzheng3/9r7g01w1b96qftmy/wish/2443759532 kellyzheng3 https://padlet.com/kellyzheng3/9r7g01w1b96qftmy/wish/2443761934 When Chinese people immigrated into canada, more than 17,000 Chinese men arrived between 1881 and 1885 to labour on the building of the transcontinental railroad's western segment. A 250-mile portion in British Columbia that Andrew Onderdonk was hired to build featured a large concentration of Chinese labourers. After the first Transcontinental Railroad was finished, many Chinese workers kept in the railroad building industry. ]]> 2023-01-13 16:02:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kellyzheng3/9r7g01w1b96qftmy/wish/2443761934 kellyzheng3 https://padlet.com/kellyzheng3/9r7g01w1b96qftmy/wish/2445766411 By the end of 1941, Britain was worried that Japan would declare war and start attacking their East Asian colonies. The British believed that by providing support to their colonial garrisons, Japan would be discouraged from launching a war in the Pacific. The Canadian soldiers dispatched to Hong Kong were a part of this deterrent effort.]]> 2023-01-16 15:02:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kellyzheng3/9r7g01w1b96qftmy/wish/2445766411 kellyzheng3 https://padlet.com/kellyzheng3/9r7g01w1b96qftmy/wish/2445808025 The greatest amphibious invasion in military history was launched by Allied forces on June 6, 1944, also known as "D-Day." The Allied landings in Normandy, known as Operation "Overlord," signalled the beginning of a protracted and expensive war to free north-western Europe from Nazi rule. It resulted in France's independence and prevented Germany from using that nation's economic and human resources in the future.]]> 2023-01-16 15:44:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kellyzheng3/9r7g01w1b96qftmy/wish/2445808025 kellyzheng3 https://padlet.com/kellyzheng3/9r7g01w1b96qftmy/wish/2445812231 Halifax, Nova Scotia, is the place of Viola Desmond's birth.

In June 1950, when North Korea attacked the South with assistance and advice from the Soviet Union, the conflict attained global proportions. It was decided to redraw the border between North and South Korea, giving the latter more land and demilitarising the area in between. In addition to nearly 40,000 Americans, the conflict claimed the lives of millions of Chinese and Koreans.]]> 2023-01-16 16:33:15 UTC https://padlet.com/kellyzheng3/9r7g01w1b96qftmy/wish/2445854060 kellyzheng3 https://padlet.com/kellyzheng3/9r7g01w1b96qftmy/wish/2447104010 Uneven treatment of the unemployed existed across Canada in the 1930s.
