Introduction Around the world the criminalization of cannabis use has been revised in recent years to become more lenient and Canada is no different. As the Government of Canada will attempt to “legalize, regulate, and restrict access to marijuana” by spring 2017 (“Marijuana”, 2016), it is crucial to examine the impact on the health, social, and economic aspects of society (“Toward”, 2016). As prevalence and accessibility of the drug to the population continues to increase, a negative health…

Gun Control In my personal opinion, I think that there should be more, stricter gun control laws in Canada. This ends that I agree with the NDP, Liberal party, and the Conservative party. They agree with pro-gun control and the registry. I do believe that people kill people, but if there were no guns in the killers’ possession there would be no victim. The liber part believes that everyone deserves a militia or the security guard, I agree with them. The NDP states that they want to track guns…

who wins the election. The Canadian voting system is important for everyone living in Canada. This is because the federal winner of the election, will represent Canada as a whole.

The Conservative Party of Canada then proceeded to win the 1930s election. Bennett’s government remained in power for 5 years. These 5 years were the worst in…

Most voters in this year's federal election are quite concerned about each party's health and foreign policies. The changes that stem from the parties' perspective on fiscal policies, however, are equally as important; even the smallest modifications can result in vast differences for the businesses and citizens of Canada. The federal parties attempt to pitch ideas that seem to be beneficial for both the majority of the population, but in other instances, their policies may inadvertently have…

believe my interest in the punitive system has slightly influenced my political ideology. I tend to fall more to the left side of the political spectrum, siding with the liberal government on several issues. However, I am very cautious of each political party, as I believe they promise many things in hope of winning the majority vote. I believe I tend to be more Liberal because we need the government to create rules in our society, I believe there are too many selfish people in this world that…

SWOT Analysis of Kellie Leitch’s Leadership Race Strengths: One of Dr. Leitch’s strength is that she plays well with the Conservative brand.

choose their representatives in the federal and provincial elections. There are many voices in Canada and other places where the FPTP is used to change it with the Proportional Representation Systems, which the newly elected liberal government intends to change (Simonsen, 2005). The current federal government is not the only one that criticised the FPTP system but also the former prime minister of Canada Stephen Harper, ten years before he arrived to power, called the Canadian democracy a…
