Negative Effects Of Diefenbaker

311 Words2 Pages

Diefenbaker did not make valuable judgment of cancelling the Avro arrow in Canada due to the obstacles and circumstances the society and the economy opposed. There were countless job disaster, loss of adept employers, and it would have brought pride in the country. Firstly, It had generated immense unemployment. According to the source "Thousands of high-tech jobs were lost when the project was cancelled" ( Arrows Didn’t Make Sense Then, and Don’t Now ). After working on a project so hard and abruptly getting fired was not pleasing for the employers. People unemployed needed other jobs to feed their families. It was not a satisfying perception due to the impact it had on many people which lead to many consequences in their individual lives.

  • How Did The Avro Arrow Impact Society

    861 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Avro Arrow, released by A.V. Roe (Avro) Canada in 1957, was a Canadian aircraft that demonstrated Canada’s growing sense of nationalism. The project was meant to serve as an interceptor for the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) out of the growing threat of Soviet bombers invading the North. Thus the years-ahead-of-its-time Avro Arrow was created. On February 20th, 1959, which was known as ‘Black Friday’, Prime Minister Diefenbaker and the Minister of National Defence made the unjustifiable and controversial announcement to cancel the Arrow Program and order the destruction of all Arrows. This hindered Canada’s economic growth, military potential, and would shape Canada’s future role in the industry.

  • John Diefenbaker: Canada's 13th Prime Minister

    During his time, Canada was going into a recession, and to make situations worse, he started wasting money. Diefenbaker cancelled the expensive Avro Arrow project claiming that it was not worth the money because no one wanted to buy it. However, by the time the Arrow project was done, the U.S sent the first man-made object into orbit attracting many people’s attention. Thus, the project’s unpopularity was probably because of its bad timing, and by time, it could have become more sellable. The cancellation not only devastated a Canadian future-promising company, but it also left many people unemployed and reduced production.

    In just a short span of time, so many people went broke, companies failed, lost jobs, and many struggled to eat.

This was caused by many things but most importantly speculation, installment, and overproduction in many industries. Although

    The Avro Arrow cancellation was justified because it was not fundamental anymore because of the growing need for missiles. Foremost, the Avro Arrow was not essential considering that there was a change of threat. The change in nature of the threat was towards missiles rather than aircraft. In the early days of the Cold War Canada was forced to increase funding towards missiles so the Avro Arrow would not be needed. “the start of the Korean War caused the U.S. government to massively increase funding for weapons systems such as missiles.”

    Case 1 1. Even though the patient is feeling better and has a stomachache from taking amoxicillin, I would tell him to keep taking the medication until the prescription runs out. Not treating his infection completely can make it come back stronger. Also, stopping amoxicillin too soon can lead to bacteria that are resistant to it. I would tell him to each something before and after taking amoxicillin to help stop the stomach from aching.

  • Black Death Pandemic Effects

    Population numbers were at an all-time high, so securing employment was difficult for many. If ones’ parents had money and/or family ties to money, one had several options, such as going into the family business (if one’s father was a blacksmith you could apprentice as a blacksmith beginning at a young age.) On the other hand, if ones’ parents were peasant farmers, they would most likely have little option other than working the farm along with the mass population, which came with poor pay and limited opportunities. However, the Black Death pandemic changed much of this system. With mass death, there were fewer and fewer peasant farmers, which lead to a limited supply of farm workers.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Unemployment

    970 Words  | 4 Pages

    Unemployment is universally recognized as a bad thing. While economists and academics make convincing arguments that there is a certain natural level of unemployment that cannot be erased, elevated unemployment imposes significant costs on the individual, the society and the country. Worse yet, most of the costs are of the dead loss variety where there are no offsetting gains to the costs that everyone must bear (Depending on how it 's measured). Unemployment represents the number of people in the work force who want to work but do not have a job. It is generally stated as a percentage and calculated by dividing the number of people who are unemployed by the total work force.
