We can compare this to another southern city that is a bit farther north, Toronto, Ontario, Where the average temperature is 20 degrees celsius in the summer and below 4 degrees celsius in the winter. Extrapolating this data we can make the assumption that the farther north the city the lower the average temperature will be.

Having these two attributes make it a good spot for Canadians to have a cottage. Southern canada having a close proximity to the border makes it popular amongst Canadians that like to travel and or shop. The border being close means you could easily drive over and go somewhere in America by car if you wanted to save some money. Shopping is also made easier because the prices in the states are usually cheaper than here, despite the exchange rate from Canadian to American

    For example, approximately 15% of the workers are in the primary sector compared to only 2.7% in Ontario. The Territorial North has approximately 83% of its workforce allocated to the service sector, making it the dominant sector (Bone, p.423). It allows similar levels of education, health, and social services to those provinces. However, there are drawbacks that economies of scale are difficult to achieve in small communities. For example, number of educator or health care service provider is less than people who needed, therefore, due to delay, characteristic of emigration is higher than another region in Canada.…

    Canada is regarded as one of the most developed countries known to date in the 21th century, it could even be considered to rival even the United States. Canada could not have been standing where it is currently without a backbone to support it, that backbone is the 20th century. The 20th century did indeed belong to Canada as demonstrated by their participation in both World Wars, Canada’s increasing independence and how their economy had risen. Canada has earned the respect of other countries that they can become a developed country just like everyone else without anyone's help. Britain and United States needed support from Canada to match the opposition’s power during the World Wars because of how much Canada’s infantry was respected.…

    A core region offers advantageous geographic locations which allow for accessible transportation, resource extraction and access to large populations. Core regions can be defined more succinctly than periphery, which can range from rapidly growing regions with expanding populations to resource frontiers which have had little development or probing for resources. Bone (2013) makes reference to an original core periphery model that says, “there is one core and three periphery regions, in that analysis Ontario and Quebec would be considered core and the remaining regions would be considered periphery regions” (p.17). A shift from periphery to core is potentially imminent for a region like Western Canada. A number of challenges and conditions would…

    If I was a poor uneducated white twenty-five year old male from a farm family in england around 1730 and I was given the choice to settle in one of the following; the New England, the middle, or the southern colonies, I would choose the New England. I would choose this region mainly because eliminating the south as a place to settle is easy because of how difficult life was there compared to New England. Environmentally, the climate of the New England Colonies were much more cold than middle and south colonies given it was the furthest north. The positive side to the cold climate was the prevention of spreading life-threatening diseases, versus the majority of people in the south died from the airborne diseases.…

The Liberal government of Pierre Trudeau laid the groundwork for what is not the Multiculturalism Act which was passed in 1988 by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. Canada has come to realize that the nation is composed of diverse peoples of varied ethnic backgrounds and that these ethnic groups share equal rights with all Canadians. The contributions of Canada's diverse ethnic groups have made positive contributions to Canada. For example…

The sad reality is, many Canadians do not have these opportunities and will have a tougher time being successful in their lifetime.

Habitat for Humanity is an organization that uses donations to provide for low-income families in Canada by building houses and assisting them in many other ways (Habitat for Humanity Canada).

There were various military conflicts throughout the 1800s in Canada, and perhaps that is one reason that my family came to the United States (“Remembrance Timeline,” 2016). From the South African War to World War One, Canada experienced events that could have precipitated emigration. This is of course but a theory as to why my family once left Canada to come to the United States, but I find it fascinating to consider the potential reasons for the journey.…
