Should Canada Become A Mixed Economy

Decent Essays
Should Canada become a market economy and adopt America’s economic principles? Currently, Canada is a mixed economy, which means the government is involved in a few businesses, but not all. As for America, a market economy, also known as a free economy, in which the government is not involved at all. In my opinion, a mixed economy is better than a market or capitalist economy. So, therefore, I think Canada should stay a mixed economy.

Mixed economies may have downsides, but not as bad as the market or capitalist economies. Mixed economies allow many more freedoms than a capitalist one, such as the freedom to possess the means of production. And due to the government being involved a little, the economy has a high level of state participation

They spoke French in France, they feel that the way of living in France is still different from the North American mentality in Quebec.

    I believe that Canada should pursue internationalism to resolve global problems so that other countries may have the opportunities that we have living in Canada. However Canada should only pursue internationalism to a certain extent. Canada shouldn't put their own national interests to the side just to help other countries. Canada should also incorporate internationalism with the help and support of other countries because together they will impact the country they are helping in a greater way if they unite. I believe that internationalism should be incorporated when Canada and other countries unite and try to resolve global issues.…

    Canada was the first nation in the world that adopted the concept of multiculturalism as an official policy. By doing so, the country acknowledged the importance in the value and dignity of all Canadian citizens regardless of their racial or ethnic background, their language or religious views (Canadian Multiculturalism and Inclusive Citizenship, 2012). With that being said, staffing appointments and recruitment performed in the federal public service needs to be based on the standard principle of merit and dismiss all forms of political patronage and partisanship. The merit principle ensures that all candidates are assessed on the basis of qualification, skills, competence etc. Additionally, all potential applicants need to be given a fair…

    Canada was faced with economic hardships far beyond what other countries endured. The government’s responses to it were poor and inevitably did little to help the country out of the great economic slump it was stuck in. Many lessons were learned from the crash of 1929 and the Great Depression that followed. “…it is that very specific and personal misfortune awaits those who presume to believe that the future is revealed to them…it may be possible to gain from our view of this useful year some insights into the future.” (Kenneth…
