About 100 years ago in the early 1900s Canada was striving and booming in the global economy, this was also known as the Golden years and the Laurier years. During this time Canada was a power house in the economic world. People from all around the world started to move to Canada because the Golden Years brought new jobs and a whole new life to people who didn’t live there. I believe that if the Golden Years didn’t happen we was a country today would not be striving like we are right now.
Wilfrid Laurier was the Prime Minister of Canada at the time and was known as the country’s greatest statesmen. During the golden years Wheat, lumber and minerals where basically endless. By 1910 most of the prairies were settled and being farmed by local farmers. This was also the time for industrial and urban growth, both of these things were fuelled solidly on immigration. As this went on not all regions got effected by this boom so the spread of rich and poor widened a lot.
I believe that if the Golden Years didn’t happen we was a country today would not be striving like we are right now. I think this because the Golden Age boosted Canada so much they where financially set for quite a while.
