-- Research/Review for your essay (Tuesday):
- Topic: How did Louis Riel’s uprising relate to John A MacDonald’s National Policy?
-- Things to consider:
A. The National Policy began as a proposal to protect Canadian manufacturers from cheaper foreign products. It was put forward by Macdonald and his party in the 1878 general election with the slogan "Canada for Canadians". The National Policy, as it was implemented in the budget of 1879, included much more than protection. The encouragement of immigration, the development of agriculture in the west, the growth of industry in the east, the improvement of railway and harbour facilities to promote the movement of goods and people across the country: these were other elements of Macdonald's grand vision.
B. 

B. The Completion of the Railway

After their return to power in 1878, the Conservatives were determined to find a solution to the problem of finishing the railway promised to British Columbia and vital to the settlement of the West. A series of difficult negotiations ended with an agreement with a group of businessmen to build the railway for a cash subsidy from the government of twenty-five million dollars and a grant of crown land of twenty-five million acres.

The building of the railway was almost constantly in crisis during the years from 1880 and 1885. All through this time there were problems with money. The railway ate money, both in its construction and in the fact that the officers felt compelled to pay dividends to shareholders. The problems seemed to be entirely financial.

C. The North-West Rebellion

The North-west was the area that we now call Alberta and Saskatchewan, but the rebellion itself broke out in an area around Saskatoon, Battleford and Prince Albert in Saskatchewan. Louis Riel was called back to Canada by some of the inhabitants of the area to negotiate their grievances with the Dominion government. However a skirmish at Duck Lake led to troops being sent in, on the newly constructed railway and a final defeat for the rebellion at BatocheThe National Policy, which included the building of the railway, was a good thing for the country. There was, however, a negative side to it that contributed to the North-west Rebellion. Rebellion had been brewing for some time before it finally broke out in 1885. The cause was similar to that of the Red River Rebellion fifteen years earlier, that is the property rights of the existing inhabitants of the area.

Nomi tells Travis about Sheridan whose dad got excommunicated and whose mother killed herself. Nomi relays the story of her parents' first date was a community shunning and the rules of their church when a member disobeys the rules. Nomi questions the rules and practices of her faith and imagines scenarios as to where her sister and mother escaped to.
*Could the deranged events that happened to Sheridan's family related to Nomi's? What are the factors that cause members in the community to rebel?

- "She hadn't been aware of her options" (36).
- "Trudie had told me and Tash that she thought Sheridan's Dad should have left town to save his mom the pain of having to pretend he was dead" (37).
- The shunning story "complete reinforced [Nomi's] belief system of right and wrong" (44).
- Nomi doesn't like when Trudie asserts that there is "always forgiveness" (44).
- "...there were no adults in our town" (46).
