This is largely due to the businesses and entrepreneurs who create jobs and to the women and men who get up each morning to go to the plant, or the office, or another place of work to make Ontario a more prosperous province. At the same time, the government has made strategic investments to support growth. Enhanced education, skills and training, new infrastructure, a competitive business environment and support for startups and small businesses are helping create good jobs. On the surface, the numbers tell a positive story: Our economy has outperformed those of all G7 nations since 2014; Our unemployment rate, at 5.5 per cent, is the lowest it has been in almost 20 years; and Last year alone, 500 net new jobs were created, on average, each day in Ontario, and they were mostly full‐time.

    1 MY PARENTS’S JOURNEY TO BECOMING CANADIANS by Ernie Bies. June 12. 2019 Jan Bies, left the old country ninety-two years ago to seek a new life in Canada. He had completed the mandatory military service in the newly formed country of Czechoslovakia. Enticed by agents who promised work on Western Canadian farms, and with the financial support of his mother, he signed on. After boarding the Canadian Pacific Railway (C.P.R) ship S.S. Montnairn in Antwerp on May 4th 1927, and celebrating a lonely 23rd birthday during the crossing, he arrived in Quebec City on May 13, 1927. Of the 517 passengers on board, almost 200 were from Czechoslovakia and many, like my father, were bound to meet Mr. C.A. Van Scoy, Superintendent of Colonization, C.P.R. in Winnipeg Manitoba. His status was Landed Immigrant and he had $25 in his pocket. From Quebec City he went to Montreal where he boarded the C.P.R. train to Winnipeg ready to start his Canadian journey. Chester Allan Van Scoy, along with Dr. William John Black, his counterpart at the Canadian National Railway (C.N.R.) Department of Colonization, Agriculture and Natural Resources, were responsible for bringing hundreds of thousands of European immigrants to the Canadian west in the mid to late 1920s under terms of the Railway Agreement. 2 The Railway Agreement of 1925. Following the First World War, immigration policies in Canada were very restrictive. Landing in Canada of alien enemies was prohibited with some allowances made for those countries whose independence was recognized.
