The issues Agnes took on were issues that were hidden or unaccounted for in the Canadian parliament.…

Macdonald became Canada’s first prime minister, which is an significant event to certain Canadians (Historica Canada, 2014).

It was not till Italian John Cabot 1497, sailing under the banner of King Henry VII of England, did another European come into contact with Canada. However, it was Jacques Cartier of France who was the first explorer to explore the Canadian wilderness in depth, and declared the area around the St.Lawrence River in the name of King Francis I in 1534.

    Over the course of its history, Canada is often considered a safe haven for a large amount of people from places such as the Middle East, Asia, Europe, and possibly the United States after this November’s election. In the article An Unknown Country by Roy Macgregor, the idea that Canada is formed from countless different cultures, and a leader in acceptance and tolerance is a central notion brought forth, despite discussing some blemishes in it’s past in welcoming others. In essence, the main idea that he depicts in the article is that Canada is lacking a distinct Canadian identity, but what makes us Canadian is that we are made up of a wide variety cultures that came from other countries, and we pride ourselves in that concept. While some could argue that Canada has several inspirations that are especially Canadian, such as hockey and maple syrup, this alone is not enough to establish an identity that it can call it’s own. So, as a result, Macgregor argues…

    One shot is all it takes, to be “known”. It did not take one shot for Canada to become relevant. In fact, it took many occurring events for Canada to have a place with the rest of the major countries in the world. Sir Wilfred Laurier once said, “I think we can claim that Canada will fill the twentieth century” and boy did Canada claim this past century. Not only did they defy all odds by winning the Battle of Vimy Ridge but they also gained a voice in international relations.…

    History Script: Since the early 17th century until the early 1900s, Aboriginal Peoples have signed treaties with the British and French, which the two countries then, turned into Canadians later on, after Confederation. Although, in the beginning, when the British first started to sign treaties with the Aboriginals, they wanted to encourage peace, yet, later on, the British and French looked at the treaties from a different perspective, then the Aboriginals and each country had different goals that they wanted to achieve from the treaties. Even though, the Aboriginals sacrificed a lot of their rights and freedom while signing the treaties, I strongly believe, each and every treaty that was signed with the Aboriginal Peoples was worthy and they were historically significant to Canadian history. In the early 17th century Aboriginal Peoples began to sign treaties with the French and British.…

    These utterly delicious sweet tarts are said to be one of Canada’s only indigenous recipes and are baked on the street and in homes across the land, with several festivals and ‘food trails’ dedicated to celebrating them. They are traditionally made with corn syrup to keep the texture soft and oozing; however this can be hard to find in the UK, so I’ve used maple syrup, as it seemed fitting, but do use corn syrup if you can find it, or even golden syrup will…

    During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries a temperance movement existed in Canada that attempted, with some success, to change the legal regulations regarding the consumption, manufacture and sale of alcohol. While often overshadowed by the seemingly more important American temperance movement and eventual prohibition in the United States, the Canadian temperance movement held a great deal of significance for the shaping of both the Canadian legal system in relation to the use of alcohol and the public’s perception about the personal consumption of alcohol. Although nation-wide Canadian prohibition was not enacted at the federal level until 1918, which is often seen as a response to the First World War, the organizations behind the temperance…
