The resulting situation was tragic. The immigrants, weakened by malnutrition and famine, arrived in a deplorable state, many stricken with typhus. This illness quickly took on epidemic proportions. The government used this place in an attempt to quarantine the sick. They arrived as ragged broken exiles, but determined to start anew. They had been treated badly by the American patriots. "Perhaps the most striking thing about Canada is that is has won the right not to be a part of the United States." Building this involved tens of thousands of workers who labored or even sacrificed their lives. Among them were Chinese workers in the thousands. They were the major force behind the completions of the most dangerous and arduous stretch. "Without the Chinese laborers there would be no railroad; without the railroad there would be no sea - to - sea Canada." Upper and Lower Canada would be united under a single government. The Assembly would have an equal number of representatives from both regions (even though Lower Canada had 670 000 people and Upper Canada had only 480 000). By UNDER representing the French, it was hoped the English would dominate the government and that this, in turn, would help speed up the inevitable Anglicization of French Canadians. Thousands of Loyalists, (Americans who had remained loyal to the British crown during the American Revolution) including many Blacks, came to British North America. About 6000 Loyalists settled in Quebec increasing Quebec's English population. Their arrival led to the passing of this. On March 29, 1867, Queen Victoria signed it and on July 1, 1867 it came into effect. A new nation was born: Canada, consisting of 3.5 million people and four provinces. Head of immigration in the Canadian Government in the early 1900’s. Encouraged immigration to Canada’s west with overseas advertising and propaganda. This set off a storm of protest in the American colonies. As far as they were concerned, Carleton had pandered to the French Catholics to the north and had in fact reinstated New France in all but name. The North West Mounted Police insisted that anybody entering Canada had to bring with them a year’s worth of food. Together with tents, and other supplies, the load came to over a ton of materials. The American colonists were upset because Britain continued to tax them, even though they had no formal recognition as British citizens and were not represented in the British Parliament. His report contained three main recommendations: that responsible government be granted to the British North American colonies; that Upper and Lower Canada be amalgamated to form a united Province of Canada; and that French Canadians be assimilated. He infuriated the French when he referred to them as inferior to the English and "as a people with no history and no literature". Louis Riel executed this man in cold blood during an attempt to get Canada to recognize and respect the Metis.
