The government wanted to protect Canada's inland and coastal shipping routes and granted licenses to more stations so that radio telegraphy could be used to increase efficiency and security for shipping.]]> 2022-09-14 23:36:29 UTC https://padlet.com/350448940/wpmggjvxquz0wla8/wish/2297188642 350448940 https://padlet.com/350448940/wpmggjvxquz0wla8/wish/2297191370 In April of 1915, during the Battle of Ypres, the Germans used chlorine gas as a weapon against Britain and Canada. The gas would cause blindness and destroy the lung tissues of soldiers. To prevent this, Captain Cluny Macpherson, a doctor from Newfoundland, designed the Phenate Helmet. The gas mask was covered with chemicals that protected the soldiers from the chlorine gas.]]> 2022-09-14 23:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/350448940/wpmggjvxquz0wla8/wish/2297191370 350448940 https://padlet.com/350448940/wpmggjvxquz0wla8/wish/2297193088 The tanks were first effectively deployed in WWI. Carleton Lynde was a Canadian researcher whose work on the resistance of metals contributed to the development of the first British Attack Tank. These tanks were used successfully in the Battle of Amiens in 1918. ]]> 2022-09-14 23:41:41 UTC https://padlet.com/350448940/wpmggjvxquz0wla8/wish/2297193088 350448940 https://padlet.com/350448940/wpmggjvxquz0wla8/wish/2297193729 Canada helped its allies in the UK by providing Canadian tools and expertise that could help them meet their demands for wood products. One of the key tools was the Canadian cant-hook, which was used to manipulate logs. The tool became globalized and reduced the need to import wood from elsewhere to meet British requirements.]]> 2022-09-14 23:42:28 UTC https://padlet.com/350448940/wpmggjvxquz0wla8/wish/2297193729 350448940 https://padlet.com/350448940/wpmggjvxquz0wla8/wish/2297194618 Due to the pressure of the war, blood transfusions helped prevent the wounded from excessive loss of blood. L. Bruce Robertson, a Canadian pioneer in blood transfusion, was a war surgeon who saved many lives. He wrote three papers under battle conditions to demonstrate how to adopt the method of blood transfusion.]]> 2022-09-14 23:43:34 UTC https://padlet.com/350448940/wpmggjvxquz0wla8/wish/2297194618 350448940 https://padlet.com/350448940/wpmggjvxquz0wla8/wish/2297195296 During WWI, wired phones were easily cut by artillery fire, so there was a need for reliable battlefield communication. In early 1917, Canadian wireless communication saw substantial technological importance with the introduction of wireless sets that provided greater range with smaller antennas.]]> 2022-09-14 23:44:26 UTC https://padlet.com/350448940/wpmggjvxquz0wla8/wish/2297195296 350448940 https://padlet.com/350448940/wpmggjvxquz0wla8/wish/2297195884 Built between 1917-1925, the Queenston-Chippawa Hydro-Electric Development at Niagara Falls was the first and largest hydroelectricity project in the world. Ontario’s Hydro-Electric Power Commission (HEPC) created this project due to high demand from urban homes and industries, such as mining, pulp and paper, and aluminum processing.]]> 2022-09-14 23:44:59 UTC https://padlet.com/350448940/wpmggjvxquz0wla8/wish/2297195884 350448940 https://padlet.com/350448940/wpmggjvxquz0wla8/wish/2297196802 The Spanish Flu, from 1918 to 1920, killed many Canadians, and impacted over 60 000 Canadian volunteers during WWI. Prior to 1918, there were no systems to identify and monitor viruses. By the fall of 1918, many countries established systems to monitor influenza-like activity, which later led to advancements in medical science, such as antibiotics, ventilators, and PPE.]]> 2022-09-14 23:46:05 UTC https://padlet.com/350448940/wpmggjvxquz0wla8/wish/2297196802 350448940 https://padlet.com/350448940/wpmggjvxquz0wla8/wish/2297197861 On June 6, 1919, the Canadian National Railway, also known as CN, was incorporated. The CN is the largest railway system in North America, which connects to three coasts, the Atlantic, Pacific, and Gulf of Mexico. It transports approximately $250 billion worth of goods annually. ]]> 2022-09-14 23:47:11 UTC https://padlet.com/350448940/wpmggjvxquz0wla8/wish/2297197861 350448940 https://padlet.com/350448940/wpmggjvxquz0wla8/wish/2297214937 The Field Surgery Kit provides surgeons with medical equipment to perform necessary procedures while on the battlefield. The kit had instruments that were able to extract bullets, shell fragments, and suture wounds. The kit could be easily transported by being rolled up and is an example of modernization. These kits were made in Canada and were very beneficial to the Canadian economy.]]> 2022-09-14 23:55:41 UTC https://padlet.com/350448940/wpmggjvxquz0wla8/wish/2297214937
