The Modern North, 1945–1985
From: North of Superior
$1.60
Most historians agree that the end of the Second World War ushered in a new era in Canada. The economic and social upheaval that had dominated the 1930s became a thing of the past, and the 1950s and 1960s were, for most Canadians, a period of growth and prosperity. The province of Ontario experienced unprecedented growth, its population doubling to 8.2 million between 1946 and 1976. Examines changing political winds, the post-war forest industry, mining roads and railways, the growth of tourism, resource development and political change, expansion of education, Aboriginal Rights Movement, economic discord separatist movements and royal commissions.
