Clifford Sifton Many Canadians not happy about Clifton’s “Open door” policy. Only wanted new English speaking immigrants In 1910, immigration tightened up who they allowed in The following peoples were often rejected: Chinese Italian American Jews Greek

Sifton: Here’s a fine lot of immigrants that I got for practically nothing. Miss Canada: My God! How much will it cost me to send them back?

Challenges for New Comers Disliked by English Canadians Were not given the land and promises they were told Homes and Working conditions were terrible

Head Tax Laws were passed to keep Chinese out of Canada In 1903, it cost $500 dollars for one Chinese immigrant to enter Canada No other nationality faced this tax. Why??

Education and Child Labour

Elementary and Child Labour Law In 1871, Ontario Made it mandatory for children aged 7-12 to get at least an elementary education In 1908, this was followed by the Child Labour Law which prohibited children under 12 from working in stores and children under 14 from factories.

The Manitoba School Question d8 d8

Working Conditions early 1900’s Scenario: All companies, organizations, and businesses in today’s world provide goods or services of some kind to society. In return, they are compensated and this is how everyone makes money. Problem: Almost all of these companies face themselves with this goal to run their companies: “How do we run our business and produce goods and/or services to the public in the most cost efficient manner to save money”?

As a table group, take 3 minutes and 45 seconds to discuss strategies to this problem given the new role of as a CEO or your company/business.
