"Northwest Passage" is one of the best-known songs by Canadian musician Stan Rogers. An a cappella song. While it recalls the history of early explorers who were trying to discover a route across Canada to the Pacific Ocean , its central theme is a comparison between the journeys of these past explorers and the singer's own journey to and through the same region. O Canada is the national anthem of Canada. The song was originally commissioned by the Lieutenant Governor of Quebec. The French "Ô Canada" was first performed on June 24, 1880, at a Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day banquet in Quebec City, but did not become Canada's official national anthem until July 1, 1980. The Canadian government bought the rights to the lyrics and music for only one dollar. The lyrics to "Ô Canada! mon pays, mes amours", a French-Canadian song, were written by George-Étienne Cartier "Ode to Newfoundland" is the official provincial anthem of Newfoundland and Labrador

September was the worst season of the year for sea crossing. After 65 days they landed at Cape Cod. The Pilgrims suffered a great deal during their first winter, because they were poorly equipped and poorly trained. One spring morning an Indian came and introduced him in a friendly way. The Indian chief offered assistance to the pilgrims and the Indians thought the Pilgrims how to hunt, fish, and grow food. Because of this help they had a good harvest every year. Governor William Bradford invited the Pilgrims and the Indians to share a Thanksgiving feast to strengthen the bond between them. They accepted. The celebration lasted 3 days. The holiday was a great success. Later, Thanksgiving was celebrated in all the colonies of New England. In 1863 President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed it a national thanksgiving.

And Chaplain realized that the colony of New France needed many more settlers if it was going to survive but his efforts failed. By 1663 the population of France was still very small. The fur traders were more concerned with their trading than farming and settlement. Also war made the settlers feel more unsafe. So the King of France decided to end the rule of fur traders and make New France a royal colony governed by the King. On behalf of the King a governor, a bishop and an intedant ruled in New France. They ensured that more settlers came to the colony and they encouraged farming and industry. But till by 1700 France wasn't the colony the King had wanted and it had been almost constantly in war. France and Britain didn't have good relations and fought over colonies. Also different religion caused tension. In 1756, the Seven Years War broke out. France and Britain fought in each others colonies and all over the

Let me think... Yes, I do. Speak ,Jana, I´ll listen and write them also down. I think, city should build a big parking house or parking lots near to citycenter, where people let their cars and move along on foot or with public transport. Maybe also there should be such place, where You can lend a bike . That´s great idea. With this method, the air in citycenter would be much more fresh. And also people will never be late to work or school. I really hope, that governor will agree with this idea, and our petition will pass. I´m pretty sure, that lot of people will support us. I hope so too. I promise, that we will do everything, we can to make car-free zones. Thank You very much for listening to me. We all thank You for such a good idea, Jana. Bye! Bye!
In 1735 a war began between France and England over the fur trade in North America. Since 1759 and on to this day Canada became British. In the middle of the 19th century it seemed practical to unite the colonies into one self- governing country. In 1867 the Dominion of Canada was created - an independent country within the British Empire consisting of 4 provinces: Ontario, New Brunswick, Quebec and Nova Scotia, with the monarch represented in Canada by governor-general. HOW CANADA GOT THE NAME CANADA There have been many theories about the origin of the name Canada but there can be a little doubt that the word is Indian in origin. When Jacques Cartier sailed up the St. Lawrence River in 1534 to the Indian village of Stadacona, now Quebec, he heard the village called ,,kanata" and took that to be the name of the country. However, in some Huron dialects, ,,Kanata" means settlement or a village
