Bonjour/Hello

This week in class we have been learning about the pre World War l era in Canada also known as the Laurier Era. The Laurier Era was a time of prosperity for Canada as the government continued to open the west by pushing railway constriction, the government also bolstered Canada’s military and Canada also over saw the largest gold rush the world has every seen. During our studies one topic came up around French Canadians and their concerns over potential loss of French Culture because of industrialization. This industrialization was spurred on by pro dominantly English speakers. So to investigate this topic deeper I came up with an inquiry question and created a video.

My video doesn’t really talk about the numbers behind the economics of Montreal, but the bilingualism that the economics drove. I chose to send my video down this path as I thought it was a little more interesting and engaging of a topic. It also helps us understand why Montreal is the way it is today being the most bilingual city in Canada. Doing this video allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of Montreal and how the two main languages played a role in everyday and business life.
