Japanese Canadians lived in British Columbia before the start of WW II and three quarters of them were born in Canada. In 1941, Japanese Canadians were forced to register with the government, thus declaring them as enemy aliens. After the bombing of Pearl Harbour and attack of Hong Kong, the Canadian government confiscated their property, deprived them of rights and revoked their citizenship.

I'm Muhammad and we are the 2 brown boys. In today's show we will be covering Politics, Rights, Immigration, Peacekeeping, Quebec in Canada and Cold War, but let's start off with some entertaining music, Tunak Tunak Tun by Daler Mehndi. Saad: Ahh, that was some good music, now on a much more serious note, politics have been an issue throughout the years in Canada. Before 1970, woman had a tough time due to the male dominant workforce. Women were largely underrepresented in politics, only 67…

Canada is a great developed country without a long history, but its culture is rich and various, beautiful scenery, people live with happiness and content, perfect social welfare and so on. But there are still some problems exist in the country, one of them is about should the senate still working as a decision-making place or it should be abolished.

Throughout the history of radio in Canada, the most relevant theme has been the construction of national spirit. “In a country of the vast geographical dimension of Canada, broadcasting will undoubtedly become a great force in imparting a national spirit and interpreting national citizenship” (Acland, 1929, pg. 6). During World War II, radio was used to gain public support. Meanwhile, in Western Canada, isolated farms utilized radio for education that they could otherwise not access, as well as…

relatively low on this social hierarchy are single mothers - defined in this case as a woman, who is unmarried, divorced or widowed, who has children aged zero to eighteen under her primary care. Single mothers make up 79.9% of all lone-parent families in Canada, representing 12.8% of all families that partook in a 2011 census (“Portrait of Families”, 2011). Despite the large number of female-headed families, there is a gross lack of supports in place for single mothers. Throughout history, the…

(2007) stated that one of the most common problems in finding employment reported by immigrants was the lack of recognition of foreign qualifications. Apparently, the skills that are so valued when immigrants are assessed for admission into Canada are devalued once they arrive and attempt…

As Tom Mulcair, leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada said in a speech to representatives of the Enoch Cree Nation and the Assembly of First Nations: “There is a Canada where clean drinking water is simply taken for granted, it's a fact of life, and families live in the comfort of quality, affordable housing. And there's another Canada, where the basic right to clean drinking water remains out of reach and families live in homes that are overcrowded and unsafe.” (CBC News, 2015)…

Geographically, Canada is in a unique media situation. Eighty-five percent of Canadians live within 200 miles of the American border and most share the same language (Skinner, Gasher, (2005). And since the population is so small compared to the States, it makes it very easy for them to come in and influence Canadian media. There are factors, some controlled by the government and some not, that help regulate and control the foreign influence and keep the interests of Canadians in mind. Mass media…
