The Canadian Dream is a belief in Canada that in Canada, the country is so large that every man can own land and live on his own. Although urban population cannot acheived that goal, that belief is well represented in the Prairie provinces, mostly in Alberta but also in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. History After the confederation of Canada (1867), the Canadian government tried to pull immigrants from Europe by offering inexpensive or free land. After World War I, another wave of immigration came from Europe. Today Since the mid-1990s, Canadian Dream is an idea back on the track. For example, in Okanagan Valley, BC, Christian communities are leaving cities for land.
