Canada Health Act

Health care is a critical part of any country’s domestic policy. For Canada, this is especially the case. Many Canadians take pride in the Medicare program, which focuses on giving Canadians equitable health care (Redden, 2002). In fact, many would argue that the Canadian health care (and its superiority to the United States) are a pillar of “Canadian identity” (Redden, 2002, 103). Despite the health care system being an integral part of the identity of Canadian citizens, the system has serious flaws (Redden, 2002). One of these flaws is the discrepancy between certain groups in accessing health services (for the purposes of this paper this includes access to family doctors, specialists, and emergency care). Though there are no official means…

The Canadian health care system and related issues are hotly debated topics in Canada. The polarity of the debate is well represented in the somewhat divergent perspectives presented in the books: Health Care by Pat and Hugh Armstrong and The Canadian Regime by Patrick Malcolmson et al. Two aspects of the Canadian health care system are debated with vigor and vehemence, and will be the basis of the comparison between the two books, they are: federalism, and privatization. In Canada currently,…

The research question that I have is one that evaluates the economic foreign policy within in Canada. In particular, the question could focus on sub-topics around its operations with international organizations, economic conflicts, or economic sanctions imposed on foreign states. A potential research question could be “Is Canadian foreign policy effective on imposing economic sanctions in conjunction with local laws and rules of international organizations?” The purpose of this research…

Impartial Immigration Laws The immigration laws of Canada and India are truly fair. The only con is that they both have long immigration processes. Although, now Canada has released a new program called the Express Entry and India has released a new program called Visa on Arrival. Both speed up the long immigration process for certain people. Canada’s immigration laws weren’t fair in the past because they discriminated against many communities; surprisingly, Canada now has one of the best set…

Canada receives about 250,000 immigrants and refugees per year. According to statistic Canada, the annual number of landed immigrants in Canada has fluctuated considerably over the last 150 years (statistic Canada 2017). Canada has been shaped greatly by immigration in the society and culture mostly because the country has a small population of citizens which cannot meet its labor requirement and immigration serves as a solution. There are three categories of immigrants; the…

Being responsible for our country's leadership is an invaluable role with many obligations. Whoever is elected must make significant decisions regarding health care, the environment, employment and more. I believe that the New Democratic Party of Canada is highly equipped with the resources and knowledge necessary to improve our economy and our nation, as a whole. By offering new opportunities of economic advancement for young Canadians, working to abolish inequality between males and females in…

The Indigenous peoples of Canada have been mistreated for years, yet only recently has our government began to rebuild this important and valuable relationship. Canadians are generally known for their welcoming attitudes and openness towards others, however this view has constantly been tested since the beginning of the twentieth century. The largest problem facing Canadians as a nation is the constant mistreatment and discrimination shown towards the Indigenous Peoples, who are the descendants…

identity and what it means to be Canadian because of the stages carved towards multiculturalism and a greater Canada. In fact one could argue that Canada was a multicultural place from the start. For instance the first people to live on the land were the Aboriginals from Asia, then the European Settlers, to Africans, and even Latin Americans. The Chinese Immigration act in 1923, the celebration of the two millionth immigrant since confederation in 1972, and the Immigration Act are important…
