Gagnonville

Gagnonville is located in the Cote-Nord of Quebec,Canada. It is a ghost town on Barbel Lake. Gagnon was found by Quebec Cartier Mining Company for purposes of mining iron ore. Every winter, the plane arrived bringing materials to build a pilot plant. Garnon had more than 4000 residents. It had an airport, churches, schools, a town hall, an arena, a hospital and a large commercial center. In 1985, the mines were closed and the town fully dismantled. An the town main street and the airport runway are all that remains. Gagnon had the first black in the history of Quebec, Haitian immigrants Rene Coicou who was major from 1973 to 1985.

The First Winter

The summery of the first winter talks about a mother and her kids trying to survive. And his dad left them for a wile. But one of the nights the mother got sick and she was dying from the cold. Their mother died in the middle of the night. But, before the mother died she told to her daughter to take care of her brother. So she did but not for a long period since, their dad came home to take care of his children.

Population Since Confederation 2

Population distribution in the province: In the 20th century, the proportion of Quebec's urban population changed from 35% to 80%. The development of industries and the introduction of machinery in agriculture motivated people to leave the countryside to settle in the city. In the second half to the 20th century, city dwellers who wanted to improve their quality of life moved to the suburbs and to created the phenomenon know as urban sprawl. This development of cities created some problems.

Development of the regions:The middle of the 19th century, the government had tried to keep the population that wanted to emigrate to the United States and Western Canada.The French wanted to settled in this regions. This is how the population started to grow in the Sagnuenay Lac St. Jean, Bas St. Laurant , and Temiscaminque followed by Abitibi and the Laurentians.  In the 1930s, the Government of Quebec encouraged unemployed people to settle in the rural regions to improve their quality of life by cultivating their own food. After World War 2, attention was focused on other regions, this time it was for their natural resources. This is how important hydroelectric work sites were built in North-du-Quebec and also in Cote-Nord, where iron ore mining was developed. Abitibi-Temiscamingue and Gaspesie became important mining development.

Population Since Confederation 1

French  Canadian emigration: Between 1870 and 1930, the exodus of the french Canadians continued. Some settled as farmers in Ontario or in the provinces of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Most of immigrants still made New England their first choice, where various industries were set with a few decade. The provinces were more accessible due to the railroad that now crossed Canada, reaching all the way to British Columbia. In new England, they established parishes, churches, hospitals, schools, convents and newspaper, and formed a new group which is the Franco-Americans. Approximately 700 000 French Canadians emigrated from 1870 to 1930. Quebec's successive governments and the Catholic clergy tried to encourage emigrants to return to the province by inviting them to cultivate new land in Quebec. The exodus came to an end with the great depression of the 1930s when unemployment was higher in the United State than in Canada.  

Immigration diversification: From 1867, the birth year of Canadian federation, the federal government, led by John A. At the end of the 19th century, the government encouraged massive immigrant settlement to western Canada. The Canadian Pacific along with other railroad companies, owners of land in the west, advertised in Europe to attract immigrants. From 1901 to 1931, Canada welcomed 4 600 000 immigrants. From 1920s during the depression and world war 2, Canada stopped subsiding immigration and became more selective. After world war 2, the prime Minister of Canada, William Lyion Mackenzie King reopened the doors to immigration to ensure the company economic growth since immigrants worked, produced and consumed goods and services. Up to the 1950s most immigrants were Europeans from France, great Britain and Italy. In the 1690s, the federal government put an end to discrimination based on ethnic origin. By the 1970s immigrants were arriving from all the countries. In 1978, Canada and Quebec agreed to share the immigration responsibilities. In Quebec, in addition to the criteria set by the federal government, immigrants were selected as a function of their ability to adapt to a francophone society

Relationship with Amerindians: In 1876, the federal government adopted the Indian Act clarifying that the reserves remained the property of the government, who authorized their exclusive use by a Native band or community. The provincial government took the initiative to launch some important projects without consulting the Amerindians in the regions with whom no treaty had been signed.The Amerindian territories located in northern Quebec were initially spared from European occupation under the french and British regimes.

Life expectancy: In the 19th century, the situation improved due to better nutrition and medical advances. Starting in 1796 and throughout the entire 19th century, vaccines that prevented serious diseases such as smallpox, cholera, rabies, tetanus and diphtheria were developed. The smallpox caused 3000 deaths in Montreal in 1885, the city council decided make vaccination compulsory until the epidemic was over. In 18th century, the mortality rate was high in Quebec approximately 24 to 40 death per 1000 inhabitants including a large number of babies and infants. In 19th century, the mortality rate was higher in the city than in the countryside and particularly effected poor neighborhoods.

Evolution of the birth rate: At the end of the 19th century while the birth rate declined elsewhere in the Canada, french-Canadian women were still having many children, especially in rural regions. In 20th century, due to industrialization and the urbanization of the population, the birth rate slowly decreased. Living in the city was no longer suitable for large families compared to living in the countryside.

How Did the Population Diversify Under British Rule

Merchants: British immigration increasingly joined the first Nation and French Canadians in population. The political disputes between the Loyalists and the french Canadians resulted in a conflict between the two radio groups which led the British government in 1791 to decided the province of Quebec into two separate territories: Lower Canada AND upper Canada.

Loyalists: The loyalists left the United States of America where they were treated with hostility, to settle in a British territory. Among of the loyalists, two thousand chose Quebec. Mos of them they were Farmers who settled in Gaspesie and sorel. 

Increase from 1815: Great Britain won a grueling war against the french. At the same time, the country faced a crisis: the population was increasing very rapidly, the unemployment rate was high there were periodic outbreaks of famine and epidemics. 15% of the population was affected by poverty.

Great Britain's Immigration Policies: Private companies were allowed to acquire lands in Canada and to run advertisements in Europe to attract immigrants. The British government funded the settlement of immigrants in Canada but ended the program after ten years because it considered it too costly.

Contagious Diseases: Immigration often had negative consequences such as the spread of contagious diseases. The British brought with them Cholera, a deadly disease which cause 3000 people died of this disease which corresponded to 10% to 15% of the city's population, in Quebec city.

Grosse Ile: Thousands of immigrates died at Grosse Ile. Because, the diseases is causing them to be really sick. Approximately 90 000 people had died at this territory.

Religious Diversification: The majority of new people arriving  were no longer Catholics. The great majority of immigrants to Quebec in the 19th century were Irish. Many integrated into French Canadian community.

The French Canadian Population: Approximately 200 000 people, in majority of whom were french Canadians from the rural regions emigrated to the United States. The entire families left Quebec. Most of them were factory workers, craftsmen or farmers. In 18th and the 19th centuries, despite a high infant mortality rate, french Canadians made up the majority of Quebec population.

The Native Population: Quebec's increase in the population resulted in the expansion into Native territories. The British government intended to change the Amerindian people into a sedentary lifestyle and to civilize them, meaning to assimilate them into western society.
   

Population and Settlement French Regime: The Settlement of Canada

In the new France population one third of the 30 000 french men and women that left France to stayed in New France. This Immigrants had to overcome many obstacles such as the difficulties met while crossing the Atlantic ocean. In 1627, the king of France mandated the company of one hundred associates to populate the colony which at that time only one had about one hundred Europeans inhabitants. The population started to increase at 1650. In 1663, New France had more than 3000 people. Among them, approximately 1850 people were immigrates. Lord or religions communities also require more than two hundred girls in France to be wed in New France. The immigrants that came were mostly men who came to trade fur or to battle against the Iroquois.

The first intendant, Jean Talon, implemented various measures to ensure that the population increased and became diversified. This immigrants belong to three principal groups indentured servants known as engage, the soldiers and the filles du Roy. The king of France decided to foster the development of New France. Jean-Batiste colbert, he created the position of intendant who was in charge of settlement and the plannig of the territory. Jean Talon wanted to attract more women and craftsmen, merchants and farmers.

In 1667, the king sent the carignan-Sallieres regment with 1200 soldiers, to contain the Iroquois and to ensure the colonists security.The highest-ranking solders were given a segnuery. Approximately six hundred they were considered inhabitant of higher value because they marrying be able to defend the colony if needed
The Filles du Roy were often orphans to whom the king granted a dowry of fifty lives. Single men were numerous already owned a house the gentlemen sometimes undertook the building of their house a year prior to asking for a lady hand in marriage.

The immigration policies attracted thousands of people to New France they originated from different regions of France. Land as more affordable than in France. Women could easily find a husband because they were outnumbered by men. Fur trade allowed men to earn money, some adventurers founded fur trading an intersection challenge while others retired from their marine or military life. The majority of the 10 000 French immigrants that established families in New France were single and young, the mean age being twenty years old.

The Birth incentives implemented by Jean Talon were a success. The fertility rate in New France was more than nine children per woman. The high birth rate was manly due to the fact that women got married at a young age ate well and had a higher life expectancy than women in France. The Natural growth of the population soon became greater than the rate of immigration which slowed down considerable after 1680. Fearful that immigrants policies would decrease the population of France for Canada benefit Minister Colbert encouraged the inhabitants of New France to have large families.

Population and Settlement French Regime: Canada's Colonization by the French.

 Population and Settlement French Regime: Canada's Colonization by the French.

        In 1534, Jacques Cartier explored the St. Lawrence River region in search for the passageway to the route of Asia. France lost interest in the region when Jacques Cartier was not able to find the route of Asia. In 1667, the population was starting to increases in the French colony thanks to the birth incentives and immigration policies. The fisherman sailed the golf of St. Lawrence to communicate withe the Natives and trade withe them.

        In the beginning of the 17th century, the french settled in Canada, they requested permission from the Native's if they can settle at their territory. The French soon realized that they required the Native people's assistance to settled in North America. In 1608, the explorer Samuel de Champlain found Quebec in order to facilitate fur trade with the Amerindians. Chaplain put Sieur de Laviolette, in charger to find a second settlement, in 1634. Sieur de Maisonneuve, founded Ville-Marie close to the Iroquois village of Hochelage along with order.

The Relationships between the French and the Amerindians was great. Since, they traded fur with each other. Later on the French had to go at war withe the Iroquois because for the territory. The war between the Iroquois and the french lasted at least a century. The number of Native population decreased drastically during the french regime. The traditional conflicts between the Europeans, the Amerindians became violent because everyone wanted to trade with the Europeans who gradually supplies the Amerindian with firearm.        

How did Native people occupy the territory before the arrival of the Europeans?

• The Algonquians nation lived mainly in the forests of the Canadian shield and the Appalachian mountains. 
• The Inuit lived as nomads in the north of Quebec, around Hudson Bay and Ungava Bay.
• The relationships Between Native people during the 16th century even though the Native population was spread out over a vast territory the different nations were in close contact with each other.

The Quebec Charter Values

 The Quebec Charter Values

I think that the Quebec new law it’s really disrespectful to other culture because, I think that people will not have a chance to talk with other people what they believe. And I think that people will need to respect what people believe it not their decision it our decisions. I think that many people agree what the party of Quebecois are saying and other‘s disagree.

I will wander how the Muslims will go to work or be in a public place. And I think that many Muslims will lose their jobs and not be able to work at any single place that is in Quebec. And the population will decrease in Quebec. And many immigrants will probably go to the United States of America or move to another state in Canada. And I think that today, we don’t have enough freedom in Quebec that did before.

And I think that the best thing to do is to have the freedom to vote or to not create that law. And I wonder how people will socialise with other people at school or in public place. And I am no talking about only Muslims’ I am talking about other religions that are in Quebec. And I am hearing that there is many people that are saying that people are allow believing at their own beliefs and I think that is true because, how will Christians will go to teach other people about God or Jesus. And what I have learnt is that the government is still debating to change the law.

Today in the news, I have heard that little by little people are starting to live from Quebec to other places and it will still happen if the party of Quebecois will not act fast. But what I don’t understand is that why immigrants are still come here in Quebec if they know what is going on. Probably some of the people know or some don’t. This week I heard that many Muslims, the Jewish, and turbinate are protesting to the party of Quebecois to have the freedom of religions. And I heard that in the bus two people were fighting about their religion. So I think that this is wrong because, I feel that they are insulting their self’s. So I think that the party of Quebecois are wrong doing this new law.

A people History: Episode 2

I think that this video was interesting because, many Europeans when they came to the new world they were at war with the natives and some of the natives  were trading with them. This reminds me of a book that I read last year with my friends at school the book it call "Marce". It talks about people going to Marce and the merchants got a diseases from them. And I think that it is the story goes with the video that I saw because, when the Europeans came to the new world the natives got a deceases and went up to the mountain to stay away from them. So, that what I think.

A people History: When the world Began part 7

After seeing this video, it reminded me of Tarzan because, Tarzan was kept with the gorillas and then he had a choice to go to England or stay. But in this case this European person was kept with the natives and he had no choice to married a native women, but later on the English came to rescue him. And the natives release him to go back home.

A people History: When the world began part 6

In this part of the video, I learn that the king of the native in Canada had left with the Europeans and never came back. And I learn that every time that the Europeans had left to Canada they were always on peppered for their voyage it was because it was to cold the winter and many man did not survive. The Europeans had to trade with the natives to survive.

A people History: When the world began part 5

I think that half of the story of part 5 it is really sad because the Europeans, kidnap most of the native women, and some of the women they all died because of suffering. and the other half I found it interesting how could the French and the natives could communicate with each other and trade. This part of the video reminded me of a Spanish TV show. Since, this part of the video their were kidnaping native women, but in the Spanish TV show you could see that Pirates were kidnaping women to.

A people History: When the world Began part 4

What I understand about this video is that how Canada was discovered and it was all the names of natives territory of North America. This reminded me about last year because we had to learn about the Europeans trying to fined a new route for Asia but instead they found the new world.

A people's History: when the world Began part 3

The title war for me it means having to countries that are fighting for freedom. But in this case is two territory's that are fighting for more territory. But today, when a person crosses the wrong territory they just put him in prison or put him to death if he did something really bad. But in the video they will just torcher him into he dies.

A people's History: When the world Began part 2

After I saw this video, what I found interesting is that how did the Inuit survive all the ice age. If I was at their situation, I will probably will  not survive the ice age. I think that man and women role it is to complicate to go hunting, or take care of the children, and their house because of the snow. To do all the things that the Inuit does, they will need to have many of energy.

A people history: When the world Began part 1

The red natives reminded me of the movie Pocahontas, because their skin color was red and they had many beliefs. Both of them had many things in common like they believed in many gods, man went out to hunt and bring the food to the village and women had a role. And it was that women had to stay at their tent to take care of their children. I think that Pocahontas and a people history had many things in common.

History homework / September 4 2013

1.Linguistic families and territory

In the 1500s, the province of Quebec had a linguistic families that they separate in three different parts of Quebec which are, the Inuit, Algonquin, and Iroquoian.  The Inuit lived northern Quebec, Algonquin lived center of Quebec, and the Iroquoian lived southern Quebec.

2.Worldview of native people

 The natives are really religious at what they believe. They have many different God, they believe that their were spirits that are in the sky. They practice the religion everyday. Man and women have their own responsibility to do. They all communicate by drawing pictures on the wall.
