Though, writer's childhood was a purest francophone at Manitoba, but doctor, notary and teacher was from Quebec. Regardless of other immigrants of French nationality/language, Italian, Walloon or Flemings, Quebecois culture remains intact with its most distinct originality in writer's heart and that can never be forgotten(Karpinski, p.316). I agree with the statement that Canada’s policy on multiculturalism fragment the Canadian population into cultural and linguistic factions and thereby creates divisions…

    With the passage of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (1971), Alaska Native people were faced with a daunting choice: give up their historic land and participate in an economically forward society, or remain in possession of their lands and govern their people. Later, Native tribes of Alaska created Constitutions to develop their communities and generate a body of government tailored to their location. With 200 tribe constitutions, it would be nearly impossible to compare and contrast them all; therefore, we will examine the Constitution of Kanatak and the Constitution of Fort Yukon. Although Kanatak and Fort Yukon are located in different parts of Alaska, their constitutions are similar.…

    Like all previous cycles of booms and busts, the seeds of the subprime meltdown were sown during unusual times. As the global financial crisis (GFC) of 2008 erupted, the worst recession since the 1930s elicited unprecedented action from nations and their central banks. However, through the chaos, Canada appeared to have weathered the storm unscathed. In his work, Canada’s Housing Bubble Story: Mortgage Securitization, the State, and the Global Financial Crisis, Alan Walks describes Canada’s experiences during and after the financial crisis. To do so, Walks outlines four broad objectives: cross-examine Canadian policy history, challenge Canadian exceptionalism propagated by mainstream media, evaluate the policies pursued by the Canadian government, and finally deduce the implications on Canada’s mortgage market and rising household debt.…

    It is said that Quebec self-identifies as a distinct society and as a result, it is often referred to as a nation within a nation. As a region, it has been at the centre of political controversy long before it became an official Canadian province. This distinction stems from Quebec’s history and its roots as Canada’s French-Canadian cultural hub. Unlike most provinces that are made up of multiple regional identities, Quebec is often considered an anomaly where provincial borders align with regional boards. Though this label cannot be equally applied to all aspects of Quebec life, or to the population as a whole, the scholarship that surrounds the province is often telling.…

    Quebec has played a special role in French history of Canada. They spoke French in France, they feel that the way of living in France is still different from the North American mentality in Quebec. However, it doesn't mean that Quebec culture is exactly the different as the rest of Canada. I think it would be dangerous for them to do based on their history, traditionalism and their deep passion to do. Canada is at the reason why Quebec even existed.…

    20th century Canada has been heavily influenced by French-English relations and its negative impact on Canadian identity. The Conscription Crisis of WWI, the October Crisis, and the Meech Lake Accord, have been the most influential events in 20th century Canada. Canadian identity, when defined by its progression of French-English Relations, changed negatively during the 1920s to the 1930s under the Conscription Crisis of WWI. For instance, when Prime Minister Borden introduced conscription in 1917 the French-Canadians grew restless as Borden had previously claimed in 1914 that “There has not been, there will not be, compulsion or conscription.”…

    Historical Perspective 1914-1929 The idea that people of different walks of life all have different perspectives on decisions based on life experiences speaks true to the period of 1914-1929 as the ways that British males attempted to include other members of society doesn’t seem to include everyone else. In the period between the beginning of the First World War and the beginning of the Great Depression, only white males of British descent enjoyed all the rights and privileges of being a member of society, while those who did not fit this category were excluded fro¬m society. To say that the Aboriginal people of Canada have faced harsh and despicable circumstances in order to be where they are today is true in its entirety.…
