How Did The Nafta Affect Canada

The Mexican-American war altered the United States environmentally, culturally and politically. First, on February 2, 1848, Mexico signed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo two years post the beginning of the war. The treaty not only achieved President Polk’s goal to achieve California from Mexico but also granted the U.S. over 500,000 square miles of new territory. The new land caused approximately 90,000 spanish speaking, mostly Catholic Mexicans under American jurisdiction. Second, Nativism, a rising anti-catholic and anti-immigrant deemed the Mexicans inferior. Third, a new political party specifically dedicated to Nativism erupted called The American Party was established in 1855. In addition, due to the controversial war, President Polk

Reciprocity and free trade are two distinct debates which has occurred at separate periods throughout Canadian history. Both are periods in which the Canadian and U.S. governments attempted to broker a deal which would lower tariff walls and allow good to move smoothly between the countries. Reciprocity occurred in 1911 when the Prime Minister Laurier attempted to implement free trade with the U.S. Free Trade is prominently in terms of the 1980’s in which the government under Brian Mulroney wished to once again implement a free trade deal with the U.S. in 1911 free trade was defeated and the government of Robert Borden won an election on the issue. In 1988 once again an election was held on the issue of free trade, this time it was successful and implemented following the election.

First, despite his “Five Cents Speech” during the great depression, King did have a clear understanding of the necessary steps to lead Canada out of depression. He believed that offering financial aid to the unemployed would only delay this crisis after which a greater downfall would follow. Using the money to generate job posts seemed to be the most practical solution, however, he never had the chance to implement his idea. Second, after his re-election followed by economic recovery, King promptly developed trade relations with the United States and pushed Canada to become America’s largest supplier of primary goods, such as lumber and wheat. In only a few years, he put an end to Canada’s poverty and instability and drastically increased the employment rate. Last, King considered from the viewpoints of all Canadian business owners as well as consumers and changed the tariff rate to satisfy both populations. After the tariff rate was brought down, Canadian suppliers were able to gain higher revenue while consumers could purchase more goods with the same amount of money. This stimulated the Canadian economy further as transaction became more active. Slowly, the Canadian economy recovered and became more composed under King’s conduct. In conclusion, it was after Mackenzie King took charge of Canada,

During the period 1865-1900, American agriculture changed significantly by many things. However, many technological innovations and government policies that were appearing during the late 1800’s made the agricultural aspect of America change drastically, many technological innovations, such as inventions that limited farmers workload, and government policies, that had farmers riled, had made a wedge in between the stable agricultural economy. Therefore, technology and policies had a bigger impact on the economic conditions farmers had to face, causing many changes to the American agriculture during the 1800’s.

The impact of WW2 played a major role in helping Canada become a more strong, united nation, with equality, respect, and human rights. To begin with, before WWII there was lots of discrimination shown towards minority groups and many other cultures in Canada and because of this Canada created some inhumane mistakes. Canada allowed internment, allowed residential schools, and violation of human rights. When the Holocaust started it was like an eye opener for Canadians because they started to experience what the Holocaust underwent. This made Canadians realize that what they had done was wrong. As stated by Margaret Hoogeveen and Sarah Murdoch in the book Creating Canada “During WW2 Canadians experienced the worst violence that war can

The 1920’s was one of the greatest decades of change. From personal life to political life, lots happened. Many historians have called it the roaring twenties. Clearly, the twenties did roar.

After World War I, during the interwar period, Canada saw a prosperous future in the 1920’s as the economic, social, and political side of their country’s autonomy began to grow. During the roaring 20’s despite the swaying influences from neighbouring countries, Canada began to carve its own identity out of the very rock it stood on. Overall, Canada continued to have a limited amount of autonomy in the political, social, and economic aspects of uring the Interwar Period.

The Great Depression of 1929 not only hit America severely but also devastated the Canadian economy where had the USA as a main partner of trading. This high interdependency on America brought a huge shock to Canada and her economy was replete of increasing unemployment and poverty. Two governments, here, attempted different approaches to recover the massive aftermath and these can be divided into two phases: Bennett’s government of 1930-5 and King’s of 1935-9. Although they both faced failure from Laissez-Faire, they had made different attempts in terms of unemployment, trade and economy including foreign affairs, and agriculture.

From 1929 to 1945, Canada looked to become trustworthy trading partners with the United States. A way in which Canada strengthened its trade with the United States was by branching out from just being trading partners with Britain. Even though Britain was Canada’s primary trading partner, it was not until the 1920’s that Canada began to trade with the United States. A decrease in tariffs from 1913 to 1930, and zero or near-zero tariffs imposed by the U.S Revenue Act of 1913, allowed Canadian exporters to trade freely with the United States. As a result, Canadian exports to the United States rose from $104 million in 1911 to $315 million in 1930. Moreover, since Canada and the United States wanted to minimize tariffs, both were a perfect match for trade. The Great Depression took a big toll on both

The Great Depression was a worldwide economic downturn that began in 1929 and went on to 1939. This was the longest and worst depression experienced by the western world which caused fundamental changes in economic institutions, macroeconomic policy, and economic theory. It originated in the United States but the Great Depression caused rises in unemployment rates, declines in output, and deflation in almost every country. The timing and harshness of the Great Depression was different for every country, some were more affected than others

“The good the bad and the ugly” is a saying that could be used to describe the time period in which World War Two took place, especially in Canada. World War Two was a devastating time in the world, with millions of lives lost, many people would say that no good came out of the war. That statement is true to a certain extent, but if a closer look is taken about what happened in Canada during the war, plenty of good would be discovered. The war definitely contributed many positive aspects to the growth of Canada. Changes in the economy, the growing role of women, and an abundance of Canadian pride during those years has helped shape Canada into what it is today. But unfortunately the same goes for the bad. Lives lost, Canada being divided, Japanese

Canada had very similar foreign policy to that of Woodrow Wilson’s missionary diplomacy because Canada also used the idea of promoting democracy to secure and further their economic expansion. Todd Gordon’s and Jefferey Webber’s book, Canadian Imperialism in Latin America, argues that the Canadian government justified intervention in the Latin America because they wanted to promote democracy, but really, the Canadian government was just interested in the expansion of its markets in the Andes. Gordon and Webber agree that democracy promotion was one of the United States’ key foreign policy strategies in the world and as Latin American countries started to nationalize their domestic industries and created policies to push Canadian corporations
