434 Words2 Pages

Lately, I think a lot about the problems that Vancouver Island is facing now. And I suppose it’s time to establish a British Colony in Vancouver Island. To start with, in previous years, there are more and more American miners entering Victoria to look for gold without any restrictions, which is bad for our protection of gold. And if this situation continues, I’m worried that American government will take control or conquer Vancouver Island. Now we should do something fast, and I suggest establishing a new colony to reduce the bad influences the gold rush brings, such as the big external population in Victoria, and restrict the settlers to dig gold there. Second of all, we all know the US is an ambitious country who wants to expand its territory all the time. Like the ”Manifest Destiny”, the slogan”54°40’ or fight” and there was an information that the US has its eyes on territory as far north as Alaska. You see, now the US soldiers are stationed on the boundary of the 49th parallel, I suppose it may be an omen of America to terrify Canada. And also, the amount of settlers coming to Victoria is becoming bigger and bigger, which we can’t to control as of the moment. Therefore, if we build a new colony, we can avoid American aggression and restrict immigrants in a degree. …show more content…

As of the moment, the Hudson’s Bay Company is the only one who can decide the price of almost everything in Victoria, which is not fair for citizens. That’s why we should set a new colony to control the trading, like creating new laws of trading in Victoria, and bring free trade here to give residents more

Port cities became popular when both buyers and sellers needed a place to exchange goods.

    King articulated this impetus for immigration in his speech where he mentioned “the danger that [lay] in a small population attempting to hold so great a heritage as [Canada]” (King in Walsh, 2003, p.794). The large landmass of Canada in combination with the “low birth rate,” (Kelly & Trebilcock, 2010, p.340) particularly during WWII, required a larger population to ensure its prosperous future (Green & Green, 2004, p.113; Satzewich & Liodakis, 2007, p.42). This was particularly true for less desirable rural Canada, where the government specifically recruited Dutch farmers to occupy this relatively uninhabited area (Kelly & Trebilcock, 2010, p.340).

The focus on growing Canada’s population appeared to be successful; by 1960, Canada’s population had nearly doubled in size from the 1940s to 18.5 million people (Kelly, 2010,
