What is true of the Canadian Shield region in North America?
The Canadian Shield is an area of Canada where the oldest exposed rocks of the planet are present. These provide a great mineral wealth but because of the thin (or non existent) soil start and inclement climate the opportunities for agriculture are limited. There are no hydrocarbon reserves in the area.
What did the Indian national congress want?
They wanted reforms from the British. They were tired of British rule and British control of Indian money.At its start, the Indian National Congress wanted socialistic types of economic development. The trends have changed as now the Indian National Congress adopts economically liberal policies on the way it presents its economic agenda.
In what year did the Canadian fur trade start?
It is generally thought that European fishing vessels, fishing in the Grand Banks area, began trading for furs with the First Nations people before Jacques Cartier's first voyage in 1534, and probably even before John Cabot's so-called "discovery" of what is now Canada in 1497. Therefore, the exact year in which the fur trade began will probably never be known for sure.
When did the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway start?
The Canadian Pacific Railway was built in 1881 (the exact date is not sure), by the Canadian Pacific Railway company, which was lead by Sir Hugh Allan (who turned out to be a real crook), and owned by a banker from Quebec named George Stephen and an executive member of the Hudson's Bay company called Donald Smith. William Van Horne supervised the overall construction and Sanford Fleming planned out the route. The last spike of the rails was in British Columbia, and the official photograph shows a politician or some other important figure hammering it in, but really, the workers hammered in the last spike moments later after the crowd dispersed. The CPR also brought on a dirty Canadian history, forcing Chinese men to work for less than the Canadians. Stepehen Harper made it up to the Chinese by paying each remaining person from this era that was Asian or involved a $20 000 sum.
