| | Economic history of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The early European history of the Canadian economy is usually studied through the Staples Thesis which argues the Canadian economy developed through the exploitation of a series of staples that would be exported to Europe. | | | The study of economic history in Canada became highly focused on economic geography, and for many years the dominant school of thought has been the Staples Thesis. | | | The earliest European settlements in Canada were to take advantage of the fisheries of the East Coast, especially the Grand Banks off Newfoundland. |

| | Indeed Western Europe, Canada, Australia and the United States all attained high levels of income per capita by shifting from agrarian-based production to manufacturing and technologically sophisticated service sector activity. | | | The United States was becoming a potential contender to the United Kingdom as the backer of a gold standard regime but its long history of high tariffs and isolationism deterred it from taking over leadership in promoting global trade openness. | | | The relative decline of the United Kingdom as an economic power doomed a gold standard regime tied to the British pound. |

| | Auto Pact - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Because of tariffs only three percent of vehicles sold in Canada were made in the United States, but most of the parts were manufactured in the U.S. and overall Canada was in a large trade deficit with the States in the automobile sector. | | | The trade deficit has turned into a trade surplus worth billions of dollars annually to Canada. | | | In 1964, only seven percent of vehicles made in Canada were sent south of the border, but, by 1968, this was sixty percent. |

| | NodeWorks - Encyclopedia: History of Chinese immigration to Canada |
| | After the 1885 legislation failed to deter Chinese immigration to Canada, the Government of Canada passed another law in 1900 to increase the tax to $100, and in 1904 it was increased (land fees) to 500 Canadian dollars (equivalent to $8000 CDN in 2003). | | | As a result, the Government of Canada passed a law in 1885 levying a "Head Tax" of $50 on any Chinese coming to Canada. | | | However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China in October 1949, and its support for the communist North in the Korean War, Chinese in Canada faced another wave of resentment, as Chinese were viewed as communist agents from the PRC (although most Chinese-Canadians at the time were strongly pro-Nationalist). |

| | Canada uses standard gauge track for the majority of its railway system. | | | This led to rapid expansion of railways in the Canadas, sometimes excessive growth as uneconomic lines were built since the government guaranteed profits. | | | Canada has 49,422 km total trackage, of which only 129 km is electrified. |
