Connections Canada Report

I read through pages 122 through 153. It spoke of the railway across Canada. It stretched from Ontario to British Columbia. Many workers died making it, whether it was from disease or some other matter, there was no medics with them to help. It also talked about other forms of transportation, such as bicycle, car, and plane, though it didn't go into any details. It spoke of different kinds of communication, letter, gmail, phone call, once again, not in detail. It talked about the resources of Canada,  where they are gathered, how many there are, ect. There was a close-up of the 'Energy Resources' that talked about what we use it for, how much we use it, and how many types of energy we use. It also spoke of how sometimes resources change. And how if we used electrical cars it would be healthier for the environment. The next topic was trading furs, and how different parts of Canada have different natural resources. It spoke of how in other countries fur was in demand, most of all beaver fur, though fox,  mink, and muskrat had suitable furs as well. The trading of the furs was also in there, of course. The trade was a system of barter. It also spoke of the historical trade from the aboriginals and the Europeans. After, there was the gold rush. It was all about how British Columbia had founded gold in it's thick ice-cold rivers. A man called William hind strode in from Ontario searching for gold after the big find. Everyone was rolling on the balls of their feet at the thought of being rich, he was no more excited. He found a great bunch. There was a great impact on the aboriginals dwelling there. They thought the gold would harm the salmon in the river. Or, should I say, the Fraser River. War almost broke loose, but the aboriginals realized it was ok and accepted the newcomers. After a while the gold rush was over. Miners moved away, but many people stayed to make their lives farming at the base of the river.
