  • Sale! Le Chemin de fer

    Le Chemin de fer

    Original price was: $14.99.Current price is: $9.00.

    Avant l’arrivée du chemin de fer, le Canada était un immense territoire accidenté ne comptant qu’une faible densité de population largement disséminée. Au fur et à mesure de la mise en place des voies ferrées entre l’Atlantique et le Pacifique, des villes fleurissent. Les gares deviennent des centres d’activité et de communication. Des emplois se créent, les entreprises se multiplient et, pour la première fois, les Canadiens se sentent unis. La création du Dominion du Canada en 1867 put se faire, en grande partie, grâce au chemin de fer.

    Le 18 juin 1812, les Américains déclarent la guerre à la Grande-Bretagne et attaquent la cible la plus proche, le Canada. Bien qu’on ne compte qu’un volontaire canadien pour dix Américains lors de la guerre de 1812, ces derniers parviennent à défendre leurs foyers et leurs villages contre des armées américaines entraînées. Pourquoi appelle-t-on « défenseurs » les hommes et les femmes qui ont sauvé le Canada? Où ont eu lieu les batailles? Quelles armes a-t-on utilisées?

    Les Loyalistes

    Original price was: $14.99.Current price is: $9.00.

    The American Revolution from 1775 to 1783 was above all a war of clans where neighbors and families clashed with each other. At the end of the conflict, more than 70,000 former inhabitants of the 13 colonies left or lost their homes by fleeing north to Canada. They are the loyalists. They too claim democracy and independence, but by a peaceful evolution and while remaining faithful to Great Britain. Loyalists will transform the wilderness of Canada and shape the future personality of the Canadian people, putting all their faith in law, order and loyalty.

    Little Immigrants

    Original price was: $5.95.Current price is: $5.00.

    Bargain Bin products are non-refundable and non-returnable.

    The Little Immigrants is a tale of compassion and courage and a vivid account of a deep and moving part of Canadian heritage. In the early years after Confederation, the rising nation needed workers that could take advantage of the abundant resources. Until the time of the Depression, 100,000 impoverished children from the British Isles were sent overseas by well-meaning philanthropists to solve the colony’s farm-labour shortage.

    They were known as the “home children,” and they were lonely and frightened youngsters to whom a new life in Canada meant only hardship and abuse.
