Assignment # 5 <3 : The Early Settlers

It gets really cold here in Canada. Thank goodness we have blankets, jackets, heating, warm houses, and alot of other stuff to keep us warm. But think about all the pioneers, who didn't have these things.

Now what would the early Canadian settlers do to survive through this time of year here?

The early settlers went through weather that was cold and warm, and they were relying on the fur trade to keep them warm. Some of the reasons why they immigrated to Canada is because:

1. They were not allowed freedom of worship.
2. The government had control over their way of life.
3. Men were forced to serve in the army.
4. There were no jobs or the jobs were low-paying jobs.
5. Many were poor and barely made enough to survive.
6. Farmers wanted to own their own land.
7. Cities were overcrowded, dirty and polluted.
I got that information from Allyson's blog, when she recommended sackschools.ca

My parents immigrated from China, and where they're from, it doesn't snow there. When they came to Canada, they were very surprised by the weather, beacuse they haven't ever seen that much snow in their lifetime. They are used to it now, since they have been living with snow for about 20 years now. The reason why they came to Canada was because they wanted to kind of promote their jobs, but also start a new life.

I think the pioneers lived through a lot, I mean, they went through the weather, illnesses, and most importantly, losing crew members, just to earn freedom and independance from their countries. I think they were very strong, mentally, and emotionally.
