1. John Diefenbaker – He believes that despite all of our differences, Canadians still have the sense of belonging, which results us to commit to being one unit. To live together as one.
I ranked him as number one because I strongly believe that our differences are what are making our nation unique. We are able to look beyond what makes each individual different by living together as one and accepting one another. In Canada, we live in peace no matter how different we are from each other. Skin colour, cultural backgrounds, spiritual beliefs and many more but we choose to look beyond our differences and live in harmony to be one nation.

Joe Clark defines Canada as a nation who relies on a strong, stable government. The government is what is holding our country together because of the order and strict but fair laws to follow.
I ranked him as number five because as much as I agree to this, our government is in fact keeping our nation in order but it’s not as important as the diversity of our nation. I believe that the government is the skeleton of our identity while diversity is the heart.
6. Peter C. Newman believes that Canada’s geography is important when it comes to Canada’s identity. Since Canada is so diverse, we do not have much in common. However, we share the same land. He believes that our geography is a strong enough to bring us all together.
I ranked him as number six because the geography in my opinion isn’t as important as our will to stay together despite our differences. True, we do share the same land and live together but it’s not as strong of a bond than our commitment to living as a nation even though we are diverse and multicultural.
7. Margaret Atwood believes that to be Canadian means to be a survivor. Due to the harsh winters and the cold temperature, to be able to live in Canada means surviving. If you have adapted to the bipolar temperature and seasons then you are …show more content…
However, there is one historical perspective that rose higher than the rest. For the past years, Canada has been known for its diverse nation. Sir Wilfrid Laurier was the starting point of Canada’s diversity. He created infinite lasting values that you can clearly see now in modern-day Canada. Sir Wilfrid Laurier was the main reason for Canada’s diverse nation and its rapid growth of population. Wilfrid Laurier realized that he must expand to the west or else an invasion will happen thus, starting the first idea of “immigration” in Canada. He sent a man in the name of Sir Clifford Sifton to organize immigration offices all over Europe. The British, Poles, Germans, Ukrainians, Finns, Norwegians started migrating. This resulted us with a new, occupied land, which is now known as “Alberta”. After the idea of “immigration” progressed, this resulted with a vast increase in Canada’s population. A multicultural nation arose from this idea. In 1911 the population grew up to 1.3 million and by the year of 1921, it was able to reach 2 million. Speaking of Alberta, it was a fact that in 1901 the population was 0.29 people per 2.6 squared kilometers. As time passed by, at the year of 1921, the population increased to 2.37 people. This idea of immigration started the diversity that we can now see in the present. Even though, Canada now on its present day has many more different cultures that have migrated, the big picture of “immigration”
