1948, The 1947 Cadillac is the last model to be issued until the launch of the extraordinary tail-fin design. Primary Source.

       Cadillac's post-war design benefited from the business's wartime experience in making light armoured vehicles and mobile weapon carriers. Car parts and structures have been managed to improve and enhanced quality and performance for civilian use. The post-1947 Cadillac tail-fin function was motivated by the architecture of the aircraft.

 

         The transportations played a critical role at that time as almost the civilians need to move. Cars are the most popular and used by everyone because of their agility, convenience and individuality. The number of cars and vans manufactured in Canada has higher than the number of hybrid vehicles bought by Canadians each year since 1978. The growth of the Canadian automobile industry may be partially due to a significant improvement in expenditure. Between 1978 and 1986, the industry invested more than $7.3 billion (1981 dollars) on new construction, electrical equipment.

 

           As society was changed in post-World War II, a large of people want to embellish life as required to live in quieter places, the symbol of these are suburbs. As they are far away from the cities so transportation is a necessary requirement. It leads to almost every civilian has a car. The automobile market from that also becomes exploded. It comes to the Auto Pact which advances the partnership between the United States and Canada. In a hand-deal between the businesses and Ottawa, the companies also made an agreement to boost their auto expenditure in Canada over three years and pay the equivalent of 60% of their revenues on Canadian procedures.

Artifact 2: Demonstration following Henry Morgentaler's acquirement in 1975 on 9 June 1975, Dr. Henry Morgentaler was convicted of having breached the Criminal Code in the operation of abortions.

           From the struggle of Abortion activist, Dr. Henry Morgentaler is the opening and call for people to protest and condemn the government, making abortion legal. Many citizens, especially women, have organized and staged serious protests for years.

 

         Since the 1960s poured out, Canada has witnessed many intense struggles from people on human rights. The highlight is a series of protests about abortion rights in Canada with a desire to be legalized. In 1969, abortion laws were allowed to enact by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau's Liberal government. This is one of the typical events about the fight for women's rights. At the same time, there was an explosion of second-wave feminism. These events, combined and took place during the 1960s, changed the role and rights of women in the future.

 

          Feminism in the first wave promotes women's rights to vote, non-violence, employment and health, while justice in education and work, birth control and ending violence, and sex. Life in Canada became quite liberal and tolerant in the 1960s; We appreciate the equality and changing laws of the National Assembly regarding abortion, homosexuality and divorce. It is a platform for women to be more concerned and respected. Canada is one of the leading countries in the world where women are happy, which is one of the typical results of past events.
