In
the big Province of Canada the roads were poor and it's were frozen for 5
months a year. The railways were built to travel products around the country
such as coal, which the first railway carried from the Albion Mines to Nova
Scotia. The railways that were built were helpful to Canada, but it cost them a
lot of money and some of the British banks were in dept. The railways brought
great economic developments to Canada. Railways extended
into new territories and pushed the agricultural and timber frontiers westward
and northward. With the corn laws people could buy wheat and crops from other
countries instead of there own since it did not cost so much in other countries
depending on the item. The Canadians looked at the union of all the colonies as
a way to help their countries in many ways. If Canada was joined together they
would have better larger markets, more industry, and better transporting
industries. The Corn Laws made the British able to buy crops and wheat from other places for cheap instead of Canada, which affected Canada big time. The Reciprocity Treaty was a system that imposed higher custom
duties on products coming from areas outside of the British Empire. Canada
wanted join and they looked at the Americans and they tried to sign
a Reciprocity Treaty with them. If they signed it with them and worked together
they would solve there economic problems and their economic trade will improve
greatly.
With all these items it would make absolute sense and make it
more helpful to Canada and America to join everything together and bring them
together. If Canada came together they could help pay off dept and able to work together to fix any problems they are having with the British not being their customer. If the colonies confederate they would have better larger
markets, more industry, and better transporting industries. They had to have
routes to get to other places so they could ship and transport goods and things
to other territories. All these reasons were mainly the causes that formed
Canada they way it is today so the economy will have more benefits to it and be
more improved with lots of people working together. If people worked together
then more things would get done and you can have food for everyone since some
people lived in areas where they had harder times crowing crops.
Good!
