The idea of having a confederation in Canada was highly debatable as it would affect each colony and region differently. Canada West and Canada East shared similar views on going through with a confederation, where as some areas thought differently. Being that the majority of the population in Canada was in Canada West, the confederation would bring many advantages. The government would be substantially stronger and Canada west would have the majority of seats in parliament. West Canada would dominate the trade business and would have increased trading opportunities with Canada East.…
Canada's greatest contribution to World War Two would be the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan(BCATP). This was a training program for pilots in the war. They needed more pilots for the war. The British expected that the Royal Air Force (RAF) would absorb not only commonwealth air training graduates without restrictions, but also Canadian graduates. Instead, the Prime minister Mackenzie King demanded that Canadians be identified as members of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), by their shoulder badge.…
Canada was not all as you see it be now. Behind the freedom, there was a time Canada had to face and fight to become the nation it is today. A nation that was part of the British Empire, it was only expected of Canada to be involved with whatever Britain was involved in. It was only expected of Canada to have almost every treaty or agreement with another country, approved by a Britain official. It was only expected of Canada to follow the laws and conduct that Britain had laid out for them.…
Canada is a country that its people should be proud of for its fast growth in power and strength. For example, ever since Canada fought its first war with Britain, it had shown that it could fight and take care of itself, and constantly prosper. Like in WW1, when Canada fought and kept back the German forces in the Battle of Ypres, they were the only ones capable of holding back and repair the “hole” made in the Allied trenches from Germany’s Chlorine Gas attack. When Germany launched their first gas attack, British and french troops fled the area, fearing that they might die in the attack. But without a large section of the trenches guarded, the German troops would easily have been able to outflank the allies and win the war.…
Thirdly, Pierre Elliott Trudeau was a remarkable prime minister because he passed many acts and laws that guaranteed the safety and freedom of Canadians. Acts such as the War Measures Act were imposed by Trudeau in October 1970, when the terrorist group, Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ), kidnapped both James Cross and Pierre Laporte. Pierre Trudeau imposed the act to protect the Canadian population of Québec to maintain security. The War Measures Act helped Canada grow as a nation because it lead Canadians to unite together in order to eventually end the crisis that was going on in Québec. Trudeau introduced regulations to build up gun-control laws, and to lessen limitation on abortion, gambling, and homosexuality.…

The Statute of Westminster has certainly affected Canada as a whole, and enabled us to grow, not only as an ally to Britain, but as it’s own country. Becoming an independent country proves Lauriers claims that the 20th century would belong to Canada. Because we could finally tackle the world as our own country, and we did just…
The time period between 1763 and 1774 was one of rampant change in regards to Canada’s constitutional history. Two major changes occurred: the Royal Proclamation of 1763 and the Quebec Act of 1774. The Royal Proclamation was preceded by the Seven Years war from 1756 to 1763 which, in North America, was namely the struggle between France and Britain for control over the colonial lands. The Seven Years War ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris and decided the territory of New France was to be turned over to the British. The successes and failures of the Royal Proclamation initiated the conditions of the Quebec Act.…
During the post-war period, countries were either peacebuilders or warriors. If they were peacebuilders they would help other countries maintain peace, order, and a ceasefire. If they were a warrior they would help other countries fight. In the post-war period, Canada was a warrior. The Korean War, Persian Gulf War, and the War in Afghanistan are three examples of Canada being a warrior in the post-war period.…
The World War Two(WW2) period in Canada was not a pleasant time to live in Canada or any part of the world for that matter because most people would not like to live in or through a war. This was a period of sadness and loss in Canada because of the many deaths and injuries Canadians had to face, not only that but having food rations and their families split apart. Overall, the WW2 period in Canada led to a more weaker and more divided country. This can be seen through the following three examples, the battle of dieppe, the conscription crisis, and Racism and Anti-semitism in Canada .…
But when the Statute of Westminster was declared on December 11, 1931, it signed Canada’s status as an independent nation for almost ninety years. The sense of pride felt by most Canadians, with all of their nation’s accomplishments and fights for freedom, liberty, and autonomy brings together a sense of nationhood where there previously was very little. Lastly, Canada’s autonomy affected the most Canadians, because it affected all Canadians. Any citizen would be proud to be part of the nation with such a rich history that resulted in alliances, sovereignty, and…
The vanishing Canadian is first and foremost, a recollection of White and native relations after the natives degradation. Particularly, the majority of it focused on artistic relations. But perhaps the most pressing aspect is what sells in our culture. Rather than the white consumer wanting authenticity, and education, they want exploitative entertainment. It is for this reason that artists like Paul Cane gained immense respect and notoriety, while others such as Edmund Morris died without recognition.…
Throughout history WW2 has killed more people than any other war, but it was actually a good thing that it happened, especially for Canada. At the time before the war the world was in a great depression, let alone millions suffering inside of Canada, but as the war was declared more and more people found jobs in the factories and soon everyone could have a job working in some way to afford necessary human needs such as food and to start up the suffering economy creating the cycle of redistribution. With those factories opening the technology and inventions for the war which would lead to them coming out to the public and not only broadening Canada’s technology and making it better, but also helping out significantly with the war. Not only did this war lift Canada out of the depression and inspire different inventions but it also raised Canada’s reputation with the brave battles that we have fought in the war and our large support with troops and supplies. A lot of people are convinced that WW2 was a terrible tragedy, but in reality WW2 was actually good for Canada’s growth and involvement in world affairs.…
Canada’s independence was influenced by many factors such as the 1982 constitution, which added the charter of right and freedom for Canada, Canada 's choice to join world war 2, in the first world war we were forced to fight along Britain although for world war 2 we chose to fight with them. Finally, Canada’s contribution to both world wars. Canada was a colony of the British Empire, meaning Britain retained overall legislative supremacy. In 1982, Pierre Trudeau introduced several new amendments to the constitution that later would be approved.…
The Quiet Revolution was a period of tremendous social and economic change in Quebec society that redefined the role of Quebec and French Canadians within the Confederation of Canada. The underlying belief in Quebec during the Quiet Revolution was that French Canadians played a subordinate role in socio-political and socio-economic matters in Canada and that reform of Quebec society was only attainable through the utilisation of Quebec to drive change. Jean Lesage, the elected Liberal Premier of Quebec in 1960, dispelled “Le Grande Noirceur” that the Union Nationale had previously disseminated in Quebec society and which had left Quebec behind the rest of Canada in education, health, and jobs. The Union Nationale, led by Maurice Duplessis,…
