This blog will be talking about how first Canadians survived Canada's sheer cold, and why they thought that this was a "better life."
Based on the Canadian encyclopedia Here, the pioneer house's were typically a one-room structure made of logs, field stone, spruce poles or prairie sod, and they had to provide fuel for the fire place was a constant chore; timber, although plentiful in many areas, had to be felled, trimmed, cut into lengths and carried home.
Now there are allot of reason why people would want to come to Canada and say that this is a better life, some reasons would be:
- "They were not allowed freedom of worship.
- The government had control over their way of life.
- Men were forced to serve in the army.
- There were no jobs or the jobs were low-paying jobs.
- Many were poor and barely made enough to survive.
- Farmers wanted to own their own land.
- Cities were overcrowded, dirty and polluted". Taken fro wikipedia.
So to them this was a better life.
The reason my family moved to Canada is because my dad had found a job here, so we had to move. We came to Canada three days before winter. We enjoyed springs weather, but we were shocked when winter came. Because we just came from one of the worlds hottest country to one of the worlds coldest country. We thought of returning to U.A.E but we decided to stay.

Pretty good blog but maybe you should also include about what they ate and how your family came here. Overall, pretty good about how the immigrants' lives were like before. Check out my blog!
Hi Hasan,
I agree with Timmy! Also, make sure that you put quotations around any information that you take directly from another source.
I'd love to hear more about what your family felt about Canadian weather.
