As mentioned clearly in Chapter 3, the three most important demographic changes occurring in Canada are: aging, immigration, and rising education levels. Along with the three demographic changes, we will see briefly see what trends are involved in these demographic changes. Let’s quickly look at the first demographic change (aging) and the trend involved with this change. Between the years 1946 and 1964, one of Canada’s largest generation came into being. This large generation is known greatly…
widely known that Canada is a peacekeeper, progressive, a safe haven to refugees, and a melting pot of culture; however even the most perfect country has it’s buried issues. As a whole, humanity has come very far in order to be an equal society, and yet as far as the year 2016 BCE, the issues are still there. In relation to its neighbour the United States of America, Canada has in no way an issue in the respect of equality, but under the peace, it is there. All minorities in Canada are facing…
Despite today’s Canada is composed of many people with different cultural backgrounds, and is well-known of its multiculturalism, diversity and equal rights, however, the situation was not the same during the World War I. Back to the early 19th century, the minority groups in Canada including the Black Canadians and Aboriginal people, encountered discrimination and exclusion from the recruiting stations of Canadian army. Although many of their rights were deprived and were restricted from…
A common theme throughout the history of the world is conflict between two or more groups of cultures or ethnicities. Within Canada, much of the tension from past conflicts is arguably still present in today’s societies between Canadians of French and English descent. An example of this conflict lies around the concept of conscription being present in Canada during World War I. Conscription in World War I strengthened existing tensions from military volunteer rates and separated nationalistic…
Currently Canada is known as a bilingual and multicultural country. Our society has made it illegal to discriminate any person with a certain religion, their mother language, gender, etc. But unfortunately in the previous years, starting 1913’s Anglophone and Francophone were not great neighbours as in today. There are multiple events that have changed the two relations. At the beginning of 1830’s the employment in Quebec was not fair so the confederation was formed with John A Macdonald and…

Sikhs in Canada face many struggles while they are attempting to fit into mainstream society, while identifying themselves as Sikhs (CITE). Canada identifies it self as a multicultural society that accepts all races and ethnicities (CITE). Racism has always been present in society, but it hasn’t been upfront and obvious to minorities. This all changed after September 11, 2001, after the attacks on the twin towers members in society collated Sikh individuals with terrorism (CITE). Within Canadian…
account before coming to the conclusion of where one wants to live. When one makes the decision on where to live, especially newcomers to Canada, it is imperative they take the chosen area’s climate into consideration. The population pattern in the more northern regions of Canada is sparse, and significantly less populated than southern areas of Canada, such as a neighbourhood in Surrey, BC, because…
Highly educated individuals in Canada are much more Inter-provincially mobile than their less educated counterparts. For example, university graduates are roughly three times more mobile compared to high school dropouts. Moreover, the employment and unemployment rates differ across different education and age groups at provincial and national level. Given these large differences in provincial mobility and unemployment rates, it is reasonable to analyze how migration decisions of different…
Which is better Mixed economies or Market economies, this has been a question for many years. In this essay I will discuss disadvantages and advantages of both Mixed and Market. Then based on this information I will discuss whether or not Canada should become a Market economy as well. With a Mixed economy, it is left partly to the free market and is also run partly by the government. So, with this economy the government can intervene if the economy starts to falter. Furthermore this economy…
