☆ Francis Pegamabagow (+2)
Francis Pegamabagow was an example of progress. He proved to others that First Nations people were valuable in the war. He developed a fierce reputation for being an excellent sniper. -
☆ Billy Bishop and the War in the Air (+1)
Billy Bishop was one of Canada's only fighter pilots. Because of him, Canada's reputation in the air force was improved. -
$ The Economy and the Home Front (+1)
The government changed things economically and had taxes put on products and services. This happened because of the war. The government could not afford to support the war, so they had taxes implemented. -
☆ Leo Le Boutillier, Thomas-Louis Tremblay and French-Canadian Soldiers (+1)
There was little progress for French-Canadian soldiers. They were promoted in the war force to higher ranks. -
☆ Jeremiah Jones and other Black Canadian Soldiers (+2)
Jeremiah proved a black man's worth in a white man's army. He had rescued his unit from an enemy gun machine nest. His heroic actions are why this is an example of progress for himself and other Black Canadian soldiers. -
☮ Women on the home front (-1)
Although more spots were opening up for women in the workforce, some people demanded that the women would have to go back to their old jobs. There were also not many job opportunities for women of colour. Another reason for decline would be how although there was an increase in demand to give the vote to women, this change was resisted by the same people that wanted women to return to their original roles before the war. -
☮ Enemy Aliens and the Home Front (-2)
This is of decline because of the way the people were being treated. If someone had the background of an enemy country, they could not be trusted and were put in prison war camps. They also had their voting rights taken away and were living in horrible conditions. -
☮ Conscription and the Home Front (-1)
This is of decline because men were forced to join the military. Since there were not enough volunteers and other men had already been sent overseas, men in Canada between the ages 20 and 45 years old were forced to fight for Britain. -
☆ Mae Belle Sampson, Katherine MacDonald and Nurses Overseas (0)
This is a 0 because although women were starting to have job opportunities in the military, it was still very limited. Overall, there was little to no progress. -
☆ War Artists (0)
The evidence in this event only shows that the war created many opportunities for Canadian artists. Although there was progress for individuals, there still was not a lot of progress for Canada overall.
