When Naomi’s family was separated during their exile, they experienced alienation. The Canadian government ordered many Japanese-Canadians to be…

The October Crisis marked an important event in Canadian history in which the tension between Quebec separatists and Canada (particularly the federal government) still carries on today. The FLQ was a group of Quebecois who strongly believed in the separation of Quebec from Canada and the enforcement of a “distinct society”. Because of this rebellious group, they committed many violent crimes and thus they were considered a group of terrorism. The extreme happened in December when they…

Canada’s formation in 1867. It affected America as a Country and had lasting effects on their culture. It also affected Native culture in a big way, stopping them from forming a unified government and stopping the expansion of Britain and the United Sates. The impact on border relations is still present to this day as Canada and the United States of America share the longest demilitarized border in the world (War of 1812).

little international influence before the Second World War, Canada was not seen as a world power. From the years 1939 to 1945, Canada fought vigorously in World War Two. The war had many long-lasting economic, social, and political impacts on Canada. However, most importantly, because of its major role in the Second World War, Canada emerged as a strong middle power, a country that is not a superpower but has international influence. Canada maintained close ties to major world powers but also…

On behalf of the Immigration and Citizenship Society of Canada, it is suffice to say that the Canadian government through the bills of C-51 and C-24 are ruining the prestigious reputation of Canada as a country who welcomes and takes care of refugees. Our target is the people of the government, and the use of boundary making due to these laws is wrong. Everyone deserves a change at life in Canada, and these legislations do the opposite of that. These bills need to either be revoked or…

this class benefits students in a ton of ways. We are the society’s future and I think it’s important to know Canada’s successes and failures so we know what to do and what not to do. My generation and generations to follow need to know the past of Canada so the future can be even better. I think it’s important to know what to do and what not to do when it comes to approaching people who are different then us. We need the knowledge of the Beothuk so another group of people will not be killed off…
