WORK, INDUSTRY, AND CANADIAN SOCIETY1
It has been said that the export of staple products has dominated Canada's
history. Explain and give some examples.
It is considered that the economic growth of Canada has been stemmed from the
staple industry. According to Harold Innis, who had developed the staple theory of economy,
stated that the immediate economic growth if the country had stemmed from the staple
economy, which eventually broke down during the 1820s. Mackintosh had argued that the
geographical and teg territorial expansion of the country should be given focus, as they had
influenced the Canadian economy over time (Pomfret, 2013). The staple thesis, associated
with the economic growth of the country, states that the natural resources had lied down the
financial foundation of the country. This can be further exemplified by the export business of
fish, timber, wheat and fur, that the state had involved. Innis had argued that the country ad
grew over its raw materials that they used to export to the British Empire.
Describe Life in Pre-industrial Canada.
The life in pre-industrial Canada was much healthy and less complicated. The only
aspect of life was surviving, and all the relationship that was governing within the society
were much economical in relation, and co-dependant. Mostly, the people had a farm life, and
the people were dependent upon the farmers for survival and sustenance. The people of the
country were more self- dependant (Danneyrolles, Arseneault, & Bergeron, 2016). It was a
cultural life, and the most exciting aspect was, marriage was considered to be an act,
conducted out of need. The women need a man to sustain, and the men needed a
housekeeper.
