Improved Essays
We all know that being Canadian isn't an easy thing to do. You have to have extreme dedication to Tim Hortons, and Ice Hockey. Be careful, in Canada they do not call it ice hockey, it is hockey, and all other forms of hockey do not exist there. Also, try to avoid talking about the Toronto Maple Leafs, and their fifty year losing streak. They all know that it is happening, but they chose to ignore it. Tim Hortons is the base religon of Canada. If you do not have a cup of Timmies in your hand at all times, you are a disgrace to your family. The average canadian will start their day off with an extra large double double and a ten pack of assorted Timbits. During the spring, all Canadians wake up from their hibernation to take part in the annual …show more content…
This is key to communication with the Canadians. If you truly want to fit in, then you must take on their mannerisms. This includes saying sorry frequently, even when you aren't in the wrong. Someone steps on your foot, say sorry. A moose is standing in your way, say you're sorry. Another way to speak like the Canadians is to mispronounce U and O in any word. About will be pronounced aboot. Roof is now ruff. Once you get in the habit of talking like a Canadian, then you will become an honourary …show more content…
There are four main food groups; Tim Hortons, maple syrup, Kraft Dinner, and Ketchup Chips. While it may seem crazy, all Canadians consume all four of these food groups for each meal. The average breakfast in Canada consists of a large double double, a pack of assorted Timbits, half a cup of white cheddar KD, and seventeen ketchup chips, all doused in a healthy amount of maple syrup. A typical lunch is made up of a large bowl of classic Kraft Dinner, a snack sized bag of ketchup chips, and a Timmies bagel with maple syrup cream cheese. The last meal of the day is a very traditional casserole made up of all four food groups. There are many variations on this classic meal, and all of them are fantastic. If you stick to the strict Canadian diet, you will be among the healthiest people

    Pierre Trudeau 's attempts to create a sort of "National Identity" during his first term, from 1968 to 1972, has resulted in much debate and controversy. Each of these works looks at Pierre Trudeau from a different historiographical viewpoint. The reason for this is because Trudeau, and his "nationalist" policies, affected every aspect of Canadian citizens’ lives. This was due to the fact that Trudeau was essentially trying, in creating these policies, to answer the question that the Canadian intellectuals were struggling since World War II 's conclusion. This question was: "If [Canadians] are not British [due to the rapid decline of the British Empire] and not American [due to Canadians ' long held distrust of American power and influence]…

    This strong bias inhibits the reader’s ability to realize that poor health is not solely due to the government but also the Canadians themselves. Although the government can regulate foods, Canadians should be aware of what they, and their children, are consuming as well. Even though the bias is understandable when being expressed through the view of health care professionals, it becomes slightly too overwhelming when read by the general…

    “There is no such thing as a model or an ideal Canadian,” (Pierre Trudeau). Although Canada, as a nation, states that they have certain values that are followed by everyone, it is difficult to live perfectly by them due to human nature and differences.

From the beginning of the formation of Canada, people who deem themselves Canadian’s have always shown their value of peace.…

    Critical in developing the nation, the date of July 1st, 1867 has a connotation unlike any other in Canadian history. Commemorated annually with shows of patriotism, Canadian Confederation is perhaps the most public presentation of history in the country. Aiming to dilute the perception of Canada’s divide between the French and the English, the overwhelming Anglocentric bias in the presentation of Canadian Confederation homogenizes Canadian culture. Plagued by English ethnocentricity, Anglocentrism is displayed through the belittlement, misrepresentation and weakening of the role of French-Canadian in the presentation of confederation. Asserting the English hegemony in Canada, the sole representation of English ideals in the presentation makes…

    Many Canadian citizens pride themselves on the multiculturalism, diversity, and equality their country thrives on. Since 1980, citizens as young as kindergarteners have been taught to sing of Canada’s home and native land in the national anthem, promoting the freedom and strength of their sovereign country. But, there is a lack of celebration for Indigenous peoples, and their distinct role in creating Canada. There is little recognition that the brutal colonization of Indigenous peoples, dispossession of their vast amounts of native land, and rationalization of racism in order to assimilate them into acceptable cultural norms, greatly influenced Canadians ability to proudly sing about the glory of their country. If there is no room in our national…

    The definitive diagnosis is through an acid fast stain of the bacteria in a lab, obtained through multiple sputum cultures and a chest x-ray showing abnormalities of the lungs. There is antibiotic treatment for tuberculosis but the bacteria is very drug resistant due to the stiff structure of the cell wall and as a result, the antibiotic course is long and sometimes dangerous due to serious side effects. The most common antibiotics used to treat TB are isoniazid and rifampicin for a minimum of six months. There are drug-resistant strains of TB known as MDR-TB and in these cases, several drugs are used at once to give treatment a better chance at success. Those who have latent TB are treated right away with one antibiotic to prevent the disease from becoming active at some point in time.…
