Wartime Elections Act
The Wartime Elections Act of 1917 gave the vote to female relatives of Canadian soldiers serving overseas in the First World War. It also took the vote away from many Canadians who had immigrated from “enemy” countries. The Act was passed by Prime Minister Robert Borden’s Conservative government in an attempt to gain votes in the 1917 election. It ended up costing the Conservatives support among certain groups for years to come. The Act has a contentious legacy. It granted many women the right to vote, but it also legitimized in law many anti-immigrant sentiments.

Water
Water (H2O) occurs in the atmosphere and above and below the Earth's surface as a liquid, solid or gas. It is continually changing state (e.g., by freezing/thawing or evaporation/condensation) and location (e.g., gaseous, liquid or glacier flow). All water is involved in a continuous hydrologic cycle, in which evaporation into the atmosphere from oceans, lakes, rivers, and land surfaces, and transpiration through plant leaves, may be considered the first phase. This moisture is transported, often great distances, by winds and is precipitated, as rain or snow, upon water and land surfaces.
