History
1 answer:
Pavel [41]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Pros - Canada’s diamond industry was launched from a standstill in the late 1990s after the discovery of one of the gems at Point Lake, NWT. Since then, the industry has surged and Canada now produces 15 percent of the world’s diamond supply and is the third largest producer of diamonds after Botswana and Russia.

Diamond mining has also led to a marked increase in Northern jobs.

Cons - Environmental impacts. Issues such as destruction or loss of habitat, water contamination, excessive waste (rock, soil etc…) and the possibility of heavy metals or toxins leeching into the water table are ever-present factors.

What was the goal of the United States in issuing the Open Door Policy?
Levart [38]

Answer:   to assure that the United States had access to trade with China.

The Open Door policy was issued by the United States in 1899-1900 as a series of dispatches from the US Secretary of State to other nations that had trading interests in China --  Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, and Russia.  The policy reasserted earlier agreements that all countries should have equal access to ports in China, with no favored "spheres of influence" for one nation or another.  The United States was seeking to maintain an equal footing with other nations in the access to trade in China.

What are your thoughts on why the modernization of Quebec was called "The Quiet Revolution"?
Snowcat [4.5K]

What are your thoughts on why the modernization of Quebec was called "The Quiet Revolution"?

The name is a paradoxical one due to this period was a tumultuous one that shaped Quebec's traditional Catholic administration into a modern city held by the government. These attempts were achieved in a <em>tranquil</em> way, hence the term in French <u><em>"Révolution tranquille".</em></u>  The name, coined by a journalist from Toronto, illustrates the notion that it wasn't a revolution per se. It wasn't formed through military conflict, manifestations or violence, but through beliefs and reforms that eagerly attempted to change and revolutionize Quebec.
