It also has good cities within the country which are well developed for the importation and exportation of goods into and outside the country. The population of the country is characterized by multiculturalism, which has enabled the country to have a diverse culture. The culture of Canada has evolved from people like the Jews, Finns, the Afrocanadians, Italians and Irish. This is the groups that brought about the development of Canada. The following are the contributions that these groups brought to Canada.[Green and Worswick, 2010.

Contribution of the Irish to the Canadian history
The Irish people are one of the group of people who had contributed in the history and development of Canada. The Irish people are the ones that facilitated the growth of different parts of the economy as they were the ones that provided the country with labor .The provision and supply of labor contributed greatly in the expansion of the economy in early 1800.The Irish people were able to move to Canada because of the routes that were so short and easy to use to arrive at the ports of Canada. Even if the Irish people were met with feminine in Canada in their early days they were good providers and determined workers. Some of the Irish people practiced fishing in the large body waters surrounding Canada. Most of the Irish people therefore were fishermen. This was possible for them for the reason that the areas that they settled were surrounded by the waters.
Social life
The Irish people brought a different religion in Canada and led to the spread of it .The religion that was brought to Canada was Roman Catholicism. The Irish people were the people who brought Catholicism in Canada and practiced it. This brought about the spread of the religion in Canada. Catholicism was one of the earliest religions to be practiced in Canada. There also came the protestants in Canada whose origin was from the Irish people .The protestants were much better established that the Catholics and were able to settle easily. The Irish Protestants started farming in Canada and enabled the agricultural development in various parts of Canada. The Catholics became more conservative with their religions and cultures as compared to the Protestants who adopted the Brazilian cultures. The protestant and Catholics in fact brought about the establishment of two groups in native Canada. Further this led to the growing of English language in the vast Canadian region. It is through the coming of the Irish people in Canada that brought about the development of agriculture in terms of the domestication of crops in Canada , mining , and fishing .it further led to the development of the two religions in Canada professing two types of faiths , the Catholics and protestants. This brought the advancement of religion and social welfare in the history of Canada
The contributions of the Italians in the history of Canada
The Italians were among the groups of people that came and settled in Canada .The Italians brought some contributions to Canada and Canadian people. They played a major role in the establishment of multiculturalism in the country .They are the earliest settlers in Canada and were majorly engaged in businesses .They were in organized groups and organizations something that made them not to be accepted to Canada. They were seen to be against the Canadian people in terms of politics and social issues. The Italians early established themselves in Canada and did several works in different areas. They were working as laborers in railways in Canada and in mining sites .Because of the reason that Canada was well known for a variety of minerals, Italians were a cheap source of labor for the many mining sites in Canada. They also worked in various industries that were located in Montreal and Toronto. However due to the poor strategies of labor agents the workers did not enjoy getting the jobs always but found unemployed and suffering in the streets of Canada. The suffering of Italian migrants led to the establishment of agents of employment in Canada and so the recruitment exercises was controlled and organized. Through this establishment of agent recruitment system it brought about sanity in the provision of labor and labor systems. Through the organized system more Italians started to migrate to Canada and settled in the region. This came to bring about the improvement in agriculture and farming in the history of Canada.
The Italians settled in the cities of Canada such as Toronto and other centers where they started shops, restaurants and clubs .The establishment of this businesses created centers for businesses in Canada. Generally the Italian had the culture of entrepreneurship and that’s why they started and operated businesses in Canada. The Italians increasingly settled in the urban centers of Canada for the purposes of business. There was high concentration of businesses in the region because the Italians had to locate close to each other .This was done because of the strong kinship ties that existed among the Italians. Also the education was developed more because of the Italians who started learning and became professionals and semiprofessionals in many fields of study.
