I have many reasons to believe that the social welfare state was improving in the 1950’s and was making positive changes to Canada’s economy. Through my own research and primary sources I have found there were flaws in the system as the opposing side pointed out but as we used social welfare more and more in the public sectors we learned how to fix those problems for equality and the purpose of a better democratic nation. Some of my “artifacts” from my primary sources were documents that clearly showed ways social welfare was benefiting us in the 1950’s. The two documents I have for example are a form that you must sign off for free health care (paid by your taxes) with its conditions and policies. The other is an informative legislation to insure the equality of women in the workplace alongside men. In each document certain policies, laws, and agreements are clearly stated to be met. In any public sector that provides social welfare you are eligible for their services as long as you follow through on your responsibilities for each of the policies. It can be difficult to manage Medicare, workman compensation, social security, pensions etc. Although it’s the service they provide you with that will allow you to live in comfort of security and prosperity.
