Many countries have a holiday to celebrate workers' rights on or around May 1, but Labour Day in Canada is celebrated on the first Monday of September. Canada's Labour Day was 1celebrated in the spring but it was moved to the fall after 1894. The origins of Labour Day can be traced back to April 15, 1872, when the Toronto Trades Asmbly organized Canada's first significant 2for worker's rights. The aim was to relea the 24 leaders of the Toronto Typographical Union who were imprisoned for 3to campaign for a nine-hour working day. At this time, trade unions were still illegal and what they did was en as a criminal conspiracy to 4trade. In spite of this, the Toronto Trades Asmbly was already a significant organization and encouraged workers to form trade unions, 5in disputes between employers and employees and signaled the 6of workers. There was 7public support for the demonstration and the authorities could no longer deny the important role that the trade unions had to play in the 8Canadian democratic society. A few months later, a similar demonstration was organized in Ottawa and pasd the hou
of Canada's first prime minister, Sir John Macdonald. Later in the day, he appeared before the gathering and promid to 9all Canadian laws against trade unions. This happened in the same year and 10led to the founding of the Canadian Labour Congress in 1883. A similar holiday, Labor Day is held on the same day in the United States of America. Canadian trade unions are proud that this holiday was inspired by their efforts to improve workers' rights.

peers解析：解析：空格在连词and之后，在谓语动词led to之前，故应为副词。led to与前面的happened为并列谓语，这两个动作在时间上有先后之分，且led to常用于引出事件的结果或结论，据此判断此处最佳选择是eventually。
