1 Industrialization & Urbanization 2 phases of industrialization: – Phase 1  1860-1900 – Phase 2  1901-1929 1870-1901: – The National Policy helps Canadian industries do well  protects them against U.S. competition Industries start to change… Artisans (make products one at a time)  factories (mass production  make a lot in a day)

2 Industrialization & Urbanization Ingredients for industrialization: 1.Cheap labour (workers)  immigrants / french Canadians 2.Capital($$$)  money to invest 3.Raw materials (wood, leather, etc.) 4.Transportation  Railways / boats 5.Energy  Coal / steam engines 6.A place to sell your products / goods « market »

3 Industrialization & Urbanization Industries / factories started using steam engines Steam engines allow for more products to be made in one day Steam engines needed lots of coal to power them

4 Industrialization & Urbanization Who profited from industrialization? In Québec: Montréal  a big city with a large population  « cheap labour », railways that connect with the rest of Canada, access to a port to ship products by boat, people that can invest money in industries The Rest of Canada: The province of Ontario (Toronto) benefits the most

5 DomaineCaractéristiques TechnologieMoteur a vapeur  utilise charbon Capital ($$$)Majoritairement anglais  hommes anglais son les propriétaires des industries TransportChemin de fer pour transporter les matières premières et produits manufacturer Choix du site pour les usines/ industriesEn villes (Montréal, etc.)  proche de bassin de population/ligne de chemin de fer/transport maritime Champs de l’industrialisation Alimentation, cuir, textile, vêtement, bois, fer, acier Marché viséMarché local / Canadienne Main-d'œuvre (gens qui travaille dans les usines) “CHEAP LABOUR”

39 Industrialization & Urbanization Situation for the poor: Houses too close to each other  fire hazards Flooding in the spring Bad ventilation in houses  people get very sick/ tuberculosis / typhoid/ scarlet fever Horrible smells  houses close to barns, slaughter houses Wealthy people  large houses, good food, ect.
