fought by Canadian Armed Forces. Ij this battle, 425,000 Canadians served, and by the end 60,600 were killed while 172,000 were wounded. In April of 1915, the Canadian troop were sent into Ypres to protect it and were determined to keep the Germans out. During the second gas attack, the chlorine gas “directly hit the Canadians. Many fled while other stayed, burying their faces in the trenches.”The ones who buried their faces trying to protect themselves, eventually died. The Canadians suffered a…

World War II creating a divide between the English and French Canadians. Majority of French Canadians did not agree with conscription in either war. They found that it would be both unnecessary and unsuccessful. In WWI many soldiers and politicians realized the war would not end quickly. People learned of the conditions in the trenches and number of casualties in Europe, which made the men stop volunteering. Out of the 400,000 Canadians who volunteered in the war less than one in twenty were…

On June 14, 1984, at the age of twelve, I moved to the United States of America in the hope and dream of becoming an American citizen in the “land of opportunity.” The transition from the Jamaican culture to the American culture was difficult to get accustomed to. I was taught to read, write and speak the Standard American English which is basically a foreign tongue to the Jamaican people causing much pain and anguish. There was a point where I wanted to give up on reading and writing altogether…

I’ve always seen myself as a realist. I try to plainly say things as I see them with as little bias as possible. Alongside that I have also given my best effort to try and see things from other perspectives. There is always another way to look at life and all of its bits and pieces and I love challenging myself to do so. Frankly however, it is far from easy. Not as much seeing such things from a different perspective but rather accepting them as a perfectly legitimate way to view such a thing.…

justice system? Why are certain ethno-cultural groups marginalized in the justice system? When examining the Justice System, you would think that it is fair and unbiased. However, news stories tell a different story, especially in the America. The Canadian Justice System faces similar issues because it is smaller compared to those of America. In society today, many are uses the media as a tool to address issues of discrimination and racism in the justice system; the “Black Lives Matter”…

through the British Commonwealth. The Canadians I found the Union Jack significant enough to have it fill the entire flag, but keep it as a fade to prioritize the Canadian aspect of the Canadian flag. Secondly, I added the two known Aboriginal flags as they are the original inhabitants of Canada. The blue infinity flag is the Metis flag, originally used by Metis resistance fighters. It was later adapted by the general Metis people shortly later. The altered Canadian flag is the more recent…

Thesis statement: The expulsion of the Acadians was not justified,with the Acadians settling first and building and settling, 200 Acaidians fighting for frances fort and the english just being unjustified. Topic sentence: The Acadians have settled in the atlantic region for thousands of years. With the rivalry between England and France no one is taking chances, with the French arriving first the Acadians got to know them from learning their language and trading with them. Reason 1: When the…

England, to Kincaid was a land that inspired awe, mystery, and had a sense of wonder surrounding it. The map of England, the products from England and the way she ate her food in the morning all contribute to her feelings about England. Kincaid begins by describing England in ways the British “favour” to flatter themselves. It is a “special jewel,” “beautiful” and “delicate.” As she is a child, England is presented to her as a mysterious far off land that has an almost magical appeal. It was a…

proudest moments was no doubt the Battle of Vimy Ridge. In that battle, the Canadian Corps successfully captured a strategic hill overlooking a large plot of land over France (Newman 117). This battle was unique as it implemented many solutions in an effort to overcome the power of trenches, and that both British and French troops had both tried to take the ridge with little success (Foot, “Battle of Vimy Ridge”). Once the Canadian Corps was tasked to take this ridge, they came up with new ways…
