    What makes a Canadian Canadian? This question was hard to answer having lived here for only a year.

In a multicultural society that doesn’t assimilate but integrates other cultures, it was difficult to find a single thing that defines Canadian identity.…

    As a Canadian citizen, I believe I have a duty to participate in our democratic process to elect the best representatives. I became involved during the 2015 Federal Elections, and I volunteered for Anita Vandenbeld, my local Federal Liberal candidate. I spent a significant number of after-school hours over three months making phone calls in the campaign office and going out in the riding leading door-to-door canvass groups. While convincing people to vote and leading canvass groups, I realized that there was a general apathy among youth towards the election: I was one of the only few young volunteers and the people who said that they were going to vote were disproportionately from the older generation. I was determined to fight against this…
