Starting from Montreal, new france up to becoming the cost arms of both Ontario and Quebec in 1868, added to Canada coat of arms in 1921, was of a golden colour while representing Ontario while it was of…

I am utterly outraged by the outcome of our meeting. The day before the last, a council met to discuss the future of the crusades. The council, composed of King Louis VII of France, Queen Melisende of Jerusalem, her son Baldwin III, Emperor Conrad III of Germany, my self, and others, met to decide whether or not to begin a second crusade, and if so, who should lead it, and what city should it target. I, being a sensible and wise religious figure, took the stance that the crusade should continue,…

It wasn’t just one big fight it was a series of wars and battles. There were three monolithic faiths (Christianity, Judaism, and Islamic) fighting in the crusades. Despite their common roots the differences often cause conflict between them. The first crusaders went from Constantinople to Antioch (1096-1099). They fought isolated Turk forces on the way there. In 1212, religious zeal as well as poverty gave rise to what came to be known as the Children’s Crusade. Although historians debate…

One of the most difficult aspects of entertaining people is finding something that a large audience will enjoy, and can relate to. A majority of the plays written by Shakespeare in the Elizabethan era were performed to influence the audiences and stimulate thought and debate about different aspects of life including social, and economic issues that were relevant during the time period. Going to see a play was something that people of all social statuses were able to do. Wealthy citizens would…

Appalling Apathy of Canadians Among traditions that tend to be forgotten, different groups have unique ways of helping society as in Totem by Thomas King. He uses litotes to represent how Canadian Society disregards the mistreatment of the First Nations people. The mimicking of our society’s attitude shows the author’s tone of disapproval. In addition, the A Tribe Called Red responds by bringing individuals together through their unique music, and has intentions to bring tradition into a…

Over the last five centuries one could say that our world has changed substantially. Between cultures and religions, knowledge and power, entertainment has always been a way to alleviate the changes and stress of the world. In the late 1500’s and early 1600’s there was one dramatist famous for his specific type of entertainment known as William Shakespeare. Shakespeare was born in 1564 and was known as the greatest playwright of all time. “He makes his audience laugh and cry; he turns politics…

People are dying. Shattered glasses, lifeless eyes, desperate crowds - these are the images seen by millions suffering in Syria, Sudan, Burma, Colombia, and a dozen other conflict zones around the world. Ironically enough, although we claim ourselves as a generous and supportive nation, all we have been doing is smashing our door at those who were desperately fleeing for their lives. More refugees should be accepted into Canada because they need our help and they do not cause us any problems.…
