Over the course of the 20th century intolerance had been a substantial issue in Canada. First we saw intolerance towards women and how they were expected to act, then with the Japanese-Canadians, as well as intolerance toward aboriginals. These are just a few examples of what Canada has been intolerant in the past. .
In the early 20th century, women did not have any rights. Women were seen as property of men. They were not considered human under their eyes of the law. Women were too emotional to work, which meant all they were good for was cleaning the house, making dinner and raising the children. In school, girls had to take a class where they learned how to be the perfect wife, to make sure that you are always pleasing your man. In the eyes of the law, as well as many other people, women were not smart enough to understand politics, so there was no need to allow them vote to. Up until 1983, it was legal to rape your wife, which is barbaric. It wasn't until after world war two, even closer to the end of the 20th century for things to start getting better for women. As a nation we have over come the intolerance for women, but there are still a lot of people in Canada that don't think a woman should be the next Prime Minister of Canada, be the bread winner of the house, or be paid as much a man for doing the exact same job. .
During world war two, there was a major intolerance towards Japanese-Canadians. After the Japanese won the battle of Hong Kong, Canadians started to accuse Japanese-Canadians of being spies, only based on their ethnicity. Japanese-Canadians were taken to camps and put under harsh conditions. Their homes were sold and so was anything else that had a high value. Japanese-Canadians lost almost everything in world war two. Once the war was over they had close to nothing, and the Canadian government justified it all. .
