The Charlottetown Accord

The Canada Act

Hudson's Bay Company

The Canadian Bill of Rights

1982

1960

1992

1670

The development of HBC had a large effect on Canada's early stages of development. HBC began purchasing the rights to control sales on certain lands, such as the North West territories. Their trading routes spread all across Canada, from the east to the west. It was this development that put Canada on the map in the fur trading monopoly, and also prompted the Canadian government to purchase the north west territories.

The Canadian Bill of Rights provided Canadians with certain rights in relation to other federal statutes. It was the earliest expression of human rights law at the federal level in Canada. The Canadian Bill of Rights remains in effect, but its widely acknowledged ineffectiveness was the main reason that the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was adopted in 1982.

The Canada Act is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that was passed at the request of the Canadian federal government to "patriate" Canada's constitution, ending the necessity for the country to request certain types of amendment to the Constitution of Canada to be made by the British parliament.

The Charlottetown Accord attempted to resolve long-standing disputes around the division of powers between federal and provincial jurisdiction. The accord also required the federal and provincial governments to harmonize policy in areas such as telecommunications, labour development and training, regional development, and immigration.

British Capture

Fort Louisburg

Canada Joins The

League of Nations

1758

1920

The British Military's successful overtake of the French was not a popular belief. They were widely underestimated, and the capture of Louisburg gave the British control, and a somewhat upper hand on ruling over Canada. It was these early beginnings that can be attributed to the strong British presence over Canada that would later become relevant for many years.

Canada joining the League of Nations provided Canada with its first real independent tie with foreign countries, and governments.

Canada's

Constitution

The Royal Proclamation

Completion of The

Canadian Railroad

1763

1885

The royal proclamation led to the development of several important treaties in lower Canada in the late 1700s. It also pioneered the positive relationship between the aboriginals of Canada, and the British in Canada.

The CPR was originally built as a freight railway to transport goods, as well as people over a long distance. The first system of its kind, it largely contributed to developing Canada, and giving work and homes to those newcomers building it. Now with means to travel to new parts of the country, there was the ability to settle and invite 'desirable' newcomers into the growing country

The Constitutional Act

The BNA Act

The Canadian Currency Act

The Act of Union

1867-1975

1781

1858

1840, 1841

The Canadian Currency Act allowed Canada to use both British pounds and dollar coins and bills as currency. Allowing Canada to use their own currency was a sign of Canada’s growing independence from under the British wing.

The Constitutional Act was passed, and established an Upper and Lower Canada, and essentially setting Quebec apart from the rest of Canada as a separately governed territory. As a result of this, French code was abolished in the majority of Canada, and British policies were being implemented. This is the reason why today Canada is a mainly English speaking country, with the exception of Quebec.

The BNA Act was a compilation of several acts and bills passed over time that contributed to Canada’s independence and growth. The first Act of 1867 entails the original creation of a federal dominion and sets the framework for much of the operation of the Government of Canada, including its Federal structure, the House of Commons, the Senate, the justice system, and the taxation system.

The Act of Union's biggest effect on Canada was somewhat reversing the work done by the Constitutional act, and combining Upper and Lower Canada to make a unified province. It was then that the French in Canada became a minority.
