John A. Macdonald's National Policy: Canada's Development Catalyst

When John A. Macdonald became prime minister he had to find a way to encourage development, the solution was the national policy. The National policy gave Canada a way to build and maintain infrastructure, raise finances, and set up business practices that embolden investment and initiative. This achieved by focusing on three main components; the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway, a secure immigration policy throughout western Canada, and raised tariffs on foreign imported goods.

The Canadian Pacific Railway was a boost to national identity. It created jobs in many different industries. Industries such as manufacturing, mining, and farming. It withal reinforced communications between Eastern and Western Canada, making Canada a united

Country.

A secure immigration policy ensured Canada wouldn't be invaded by the circumventing Americans that were so eger to expand into Canada. No longer having to worry about incursion denotes that Canada has to worry less about wars, like it was aforetime facing. The lack of wars denotes there's no longer the constant diversion, the destabilising of regions, and discouragement of starting up businesses that war bring. The immigration policy withal legitimized Canada as a whole country.

Raised tariffs benefited Canada serirly. They engendered less extravagant Canadian goods and granted a more preponderant avalibity of these goods. They made manufactoring goods accessible by lowering custom obligations on imported raw materials and semi processed goods, this additionally lowered the engenderment cost. Because of this the manufactoring companies flourished and were able to compete with international manufacturing company's and increment Canada's economy. Along with this it, persuaded Canadian to buy domestic goods rather than peregrine goods and enheartened trade amongst all of Canada from the East to the West. Another benefit tariffs brought was it sanctioned the regime to receive extra money. Plus from the growing demand for domestic goods there became more job opportunity.

Later on the National policy grew and commenced including development of ports, colonization of prairies, and financial support for sealink to Europe and Asia to avail export of Canadian goods.
