Atlantic Canada

Canada should embrace the nationalistic perspective reflected in the source. The government should spare no effort in claiming sovereignty; because with the ice capacity declining rapidly, the Northwest Passage is causing more harm than good; to protect the Canadian citizens who reside in the Arctic Archipelago; and Canada also has the potential to obtain a greater territory. To embrace the perspective, Canada must oppose all other competition in claiming…

In 1867, Confederation was held in the new country of Canada that only reached from Atlantic to the Great Lakes. The territory of Manitoba, which was called the West of Ontario back then. It was split between Europeans and the First Nations. This all happened because of the Métis population and the Hudson's Bay Company. Métis are ancient people of mixed Indigenous and Europeans. In the beginning of 1670, the Hudson's Bay Company started to control the territory of Rupert's Land, which is…

In the Cold War Canada played a important role as a middle power. Canada also played a big role in peacekeeping with the United Nations during the time of the Cold War. Canada also brought new technologies to the Untied States at the time of the Cold War. These are the roles Canada played in the Cold War. The Cold War was ironically not really a war due to no fighting even though both sides were extremely close to, but more of a political and military tension. The Cold War was mainly fought…

remembered. "We have long said that when Great Britain is at war, we are at war; to-day we realize that Great Britain is at war and that Canada is at war also" – Wilfred Laurier. Our involvement in WWI was based off Britain going to war against Germany. Vimy Ridge is what turned heads during WWI, showing our militaries prowess. Canada’s amount of raw materials Canada that we exported to Britain played a massive part in the allied success. Canada’s strengths as a country changed how affective we…

lasting effects on their culture. It also affected Native culture in a big way, stopping them from forming a unified government and stopping the expansion of Britain and the United Sates. The impact on border relations is still present to this day as Canada and the United States of America share the longest demilitarized border in the world (War of 1812). The effect that the War of 1812 had on Canadian nationalism and identity was substantial. With people in the colony who did yet see…

War II after the Allies finally defeated the Axis Powers completely. Canada played an important role in this war such as taking part in the Battle of the Atlantic, the air war over Germany and contributed many soldiers to help with war campaigns in western Europe. Many Canadians were contributing to the war even if the aren't physically taking part in the war front. But when World War II ended, many things changed in Canada. Women were suddenly seen differently to the public, the introduction…

general, Canada is arguably one of the most peaceful nations in the world compared to other nations such as United States of America, United Kingdom, and other parts of the world. Canada has many roles when it comes to conflicts. For example, taking care of the conflicts, helping its allies, and getting involved in political acts. Also, Canada takes a lot of responsibilities when it comes to being part of big organisations. For example, the United Nations, NATO, and NORAD. But, how does Canada…

The essay topic I have chosen is “Is Canada a relevant or a fading power?”. Primary readings on the subject indicate that Canada was viewed as a middle power throughout the Cold War. During the founding of the United Nations, Canada played a large role as “mediator in the new international order” (Ferrari, 2006) and was elected as a middle power in 1945 after the Australian’s gave up the role. The Canadian post-war identity was one that showed strength, optimism and just practises. According to…

First, I came to know about Nova Scotia from one of my cousins who is residing in Canada. Nova Scotia, especially its capital Halifax is well known for its multi-culture. It is heard that, there won’t any problem being an immigrant. It is also known for its friendly natives. The enlightened fact is, no racial discrimination towards the foreigners. The citizens only consider the immigrants as one among them. It is a very positive attitude from Nova Scotians, when considered the countries like…

Canada has long contested policy choices in regards to equalization payments. Equalization is the central government of Canada making equalizing payments to Canadian provinces that are less wealthy than others in order to equalize all the provinces’ fiscal capacity. Provinces that receive equalization payments have traditionally been referred to as “have not provinces” as opposed to “have provinces”. The program of equalization was created with equality between provinces as its aim however with…
