Document Summary
In the 1880"s and 90"s more people actually left canada than had immigrated. By the end of the 19th century, things begin to shift because the really good accessible and fertile land of the united states had already been taken (therefore causing the price of land to go up) Thus canada became "the last best west" because it still had tons of land and extremely little people. Clifford sifton: minister of the interior, pours in money and resources into schemes all over the world to promote canada and immigration to the nation. Has displays and tours around the world, advertises in tons of different languages, promotional trips to canada so people could return to their communities and tell the rest of their friends what canada was like, works with transportation companies. By 1900, his department was producing over 1m pamphlets a year to recruit people from all over the world to canada.
