Synopsis
This book examines the patterns and effects of immigration into Canada from its nascent beginnings to the early 20th century. The author draws a comparison between the demographics and available resources of Canada, the United States, and several European countries to highlight the relative emptiness of Canada's vast lands. Tracing Canadian immigration policy from its origins, the book discusses the incentives and hardships faced by prospective immigrants. It examines the motivations of the Canadian government and the experiences of immigrants themselves, who often faced poverty, disease, and discrimination. The author argues that immigration was essential to the development of Canada, but that it also brought with it a host of social and economic challenges that continue to shape the country today.
