Canada 1890-1905
Industrialization and its impact on the people of Canada
Sweatshops, places with poor working conditions, were growing overtime
In the 1900s sweatshops were becoming extremely common and good working conditions seemed to be distant. This mainly affected woman and children with men usually having decent working conditions.
Child labour also became popular with children under 16 working for multiple hours a day with a lower pay check than adult woman at the time.
Manufacturing became a big thing with machinery making most products
Clothing started to become slightly more automated
Cars were made by machines making it safer for men to work
Farm life became easy but expensive
It did have it's downsides like tiring out horses making it a part time thing but people already used horses for transportation so it didn't make much of a difference
Before industrialisation, farm life took extremely hard work to accomplish, but after machines for farming were invented it became easy but some of the poorer families couldn't afford it staying behind in the slow old fashion way.
Changes in daily life
Working on a farm without machines
Richer families would buy machinery for their
farms increasing efficiency and making it much easier on themselves. Poorer people would put sweat and blood into their work making it continue to be difficult for them.
It soon became too tiring for people to work
knowing others can just sit down and do nothing
so they started to look for other jobs.
Life in the public
Water fountains were invented so
people were able to take a drink outside
Streets were now used for cars
previously people would walk on them
since sidewalks weren't invented
