    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.…

    I choose Vimy Ridge as my event because it was a very important battle in Canadian history that helped shape what Canada has become today. This is because how we handled Vimy Ridge was what defined what Canada was capable of. This battle showed everybody that when we unite we are able to do anything. The mission that the Canadians had was to take over Vimy Ridge, however this was not a small task. It was one of the most heavily guarded hills controlled by german forces and it was left up to the canadians to take it.…

    This was devastating to the Canadian public yet also humiliating. It was viewed more a tragedy as Canada’s legacy with the United Nations, including the Security Council, had been built up for generations. Now, it is viewed as “almost lost” (Partsinevelos, 2012). However, the upsetting moment for several was the reveal of the lack of votes received. Many Canadians have a specific view of how we are seen on the international scale, and with the results of this election, Canadian citizens now had to face the reality of how we are now perceived and the “decline in our world standing” (Cheng, 2010).…

    I want to write you this letter to express my approval of the 10 dollar per day child care plan in British Columbia. In 2016, many families these days are not receiving the financial support that they need in order to raise families in the province, especially in high-cost cities like Vancouver. As a result, only a small percentage (20 percent) of children are currently being raised in a licensed daycare setting (“Child care in Canada,” 2015). As a result, it is difficult to monitor the quality of care that occurs in other settings (i.e. home and private daycare). These other settings often are unregulated, with no safety standards (“$10 per day child care,” 2015).…

    World War Two for Canada can be observed as how the nation began to shape itself as an independent country, making its decisions autonomously. Prior to World War Two, Canada held a low, quiet position in the world, as it was overshadowed by its mother-country, Britain. Canada’s contributions to the Second World War was remarkable considering there were only 11 million people in Canada during the war period. As a result of the Second World War, the nation established itself as a middle power, taking a more active role in the world. Majority of Canada's population (i.e. men and women) was involved in the war – either serving in the military or by serving on the home front in industry or agriculture.…
