    Prime minister candidates for federal elections used to be little more than the leaders of their respective political parties. Besides the unconscious first impressions, the Canadian public typically understood very little about the individuals that may lead the country. Reasonably so, Canadian leaders are not always in the spotlight unless major events occur such as a law implementation or a tragic disaster. The lengthier campaigns simply create additional leaders debates and speeches. These additional demonstrations allow citizens to have a higher interest in party policy and their specific views on certain issues, even minor ones, as they will have increased exposure.…

    Source 1 is considerably critical of conservative integrity, so much so that it may have well in fact been written by Rousseau himself. Questioning the moral integrity of those who believe in conservatism, the source blatantly calls out the faults that are present even in today’s conservative based government. Implying that the conservatives are not at all concerned with the common good, the source disparages a well known fact of conservative parties; that their reputation is arguably not the most principle. Since 2006, Harper’s government has done no favours to the conservative reputation, leading the Canadian economy into a spiralling downfall of debt and overspending. Ironically, Harper’s Economic Action Plan had promised to do just the opposite.…

    Following the tragic events of 9/11, President Bush argued for a ‘war on terror’, according to Tom Engelhardt, American officials were “against the idea of a Muslim enemy, as well as against al-Qaeda and the Taliban in Afghanistan, Saddam Hussein in Iraq, and later Muammar Gaddafi in Libya.” (Engelhardt) While the terrorists responsible for the attack were not Iraqi (they were Saudi Arabian) Bush viewed Saddam Hussein as being a supporter of terrorist organizations in the region, particularly Al-Qaeda who was responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

    As the Americans were creating their new government, they kept the features of the government they did not want in mind. They wanted to ensure that their government was very different from the monarchy that Britain had by trying to make a central government where its powers were not necessarily weak, but where the power rested in the people. Another feature that the Americans did not want in their new government was unequal representation. They despised the lack of representation they had in Parliament, and as they created their new government they ensured that every state was represented equally so the concerns of the people could be properly addressed. Because of this, the American public was adamant that the new government’s powers were…

    In 632 CE, a crack was formed in Islam that has still not recovered to this day; in 632, the prophet Muhammad died without appointing a successor. After the death of the prophet disputes arose over who should lead the young religion; the majority of Muslims believed that the next leader should have been chosen elected and others believed that only the prophet’s relatives should have ruled and they eventually broke off creating the Sunni-Shia split that we see today.
