Legislation and regulation regarding immigration into Canada have been major issue and a growing topic of discussion in recent years. Canada has a population of 33 million and has needed a large influx of immigrants to help support the workforce. With more skilled immigrants arriving to Canada, more would be able to contribute to the economy of Canada. In 2002, the number of immigrants was 229,000. In 2015, Canada has welcomed over 285,000 new citizens to live in Canada. Just last year in 2015 alone, with the election of the new Liberal Government, 25,000 Syrian refugees were forecasted to come into Canada, where like many others they came to this country in hopes of a better life.

The NDP would probably change immediately and help prevent climate change by setting up different programs to educate the public to save on energy and such.

The Liberals would want change to occur, but when it is necessary. When they believe that change would be needed in order to help the environment, I believe that they would probably set up many energy saving programs that gives benefits towards those who save energy. They would try to educate the public by having many ads on TV and in articles. The Conservatives would not really work towards changing to help the environment as they would have more economy-related

    Climate scientists agree the main cause of climate change is greenhouse gas emissions. Created when sunlight reaches the Earth’s surface, it can either be absorbed by the Earth or reflected back into space. The planet releases some of the energy back into the atmosphere when the rest is absorbed as heat. These gases like carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor: absorb the energy, decelerating or inhibiting the loss of heat back into space. Therefore the gases acting like a blanket, causing the Earth to increase in temperature.…
