Synopsis
Excerpt from A Study in Canadian Immigration
A young nation is apt to depend too entirely upon others, either from sentiment. Timidity or from a lack of an adequate sense of independence. The first duty of a young nation must be to know its own self and express itself. There is, at this moment, in Canada a vast amount of constructive thinking being done, thinking that must remain inarticulate until someone gives it voice. It is to assist our students and interpreters and to provide them with a suitable medium of expression that this venture is made. It is also to be hoped that all Canadians who are directly affected by these national problems will gather into this conference with our best minds.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the patterns and effects of immigration into Canada from its nascent beginnings to the early 20th century. The author draws a comparison between the demographics and available resources of Canada, the United States, and several European countries to highlight the relative emptiness of Canada's vast lands. Tracing Canadian immigration policy from its origins, the book discusses the incentives and hardships faced by prospective immigrants. It examines the motivations of the Canadian government and the experiences of immigrants themselves, who often faced poverty, disease, and discrimination. The author argues that immigration was essential to the development of Canada, but that it also brought with it a host of social and economic challenges that continue to shape the country today.
