Government of Canada

was motivated by genuine desires to protect Canadian culture based on the fact that the government have on several occasions taken actions that have proven this claim. In the 1920s, the Canadian government imposed protective tariffs on foreign magazines, and this action to me has everything to do with the protection of Canadian culture. A similar action was taken by the government in 1965 when the government prohibited the importation of split-run editions of foreign magazines. This actions were…

Quebec and the people of Canada”. Mr. Pierre wrote his opinion on this source because He is expressing the feelings of most of western Canadians some might say. That is because of Quebec claims of splitting off from Canada and it being its own country. A lot of Canadians in that matter have resentment towards Quebec, and some Quebecois have resentment towards the west. It is mixed feelings of nationalism towards each other. The key issues are. Should Quebec separate from Canada and have its…

dispute was motivated by genuine desires to protect Canadian culture? I believe that U.S. and Canadian magazine dispute is motivated by the Canadian government’s desire to protect Canadian culture and local magazine from foreign completion. Although Canada is a second large country in the world, it has less population than the State of California alone. Therefore, the market of newspapers and magazines are much smaller that in the USA. Local magazines and newsprints are enough to cover local…

their Canadian magazine editions earn advertising revenue from companies in Canada (p. 185). In general, US magazines are in a much better financial position. The Canadian government addressed the issue of unfair advantage by (a) passing Bill C-58. Advertising expenses of Canadian firms would not qualify for tax deductions unless those firms had advertised in Canadian-owned and Canadian-based publications (p. 185). (b) passing Customs Tariff Code 9958. This was a law passed against "split-run"…

‘roaring’. Overall, ‘roaring’ is an appropriate term to describe Canada in the 1920s. Although some would argue that the 1920s were a time of economic disaster, there is compelling evidence to suggest that it was a period of economic growth. Firstly, after the First World War concluded, there was a high demand for Canadian raw materials. This includes wheat harvesting, pulp and paper production and mineral refineries. By 1928, Canada was the single largest exporter of wheat in the world…

on their local magazines. The Canadian culture has integrated some of the American culture just like America has integrated some of Canada’s culture through movies, books, maple syrup, and Canadian bacon.. In my opinion the Canadian government was pressured by the Canadian magazine industry since there magazines were 11 percent of the market and the U.S was majority of the foreign magazines profit. My question is why were there magazines not profitable? What exactly do the people…

see defensive reactions from the Canadian government in an attempt to preserve its culture. After conducting some research to see how severely the US entertainment industry has invaded Canadian market, I found out that, during the time of the magazine trade dispute between Canada and the US, “between 60 and 95 percent of film, television, music, and publishing markets [in Canada] are controlled by Americans, [and] four in every five magazines sold in Canada are foreign publications”…

Canada is split into ten provinces and three territories. Yet, the boundaries that we have recently learnt in class prove that new regions can be formed, especially when creativity and logic is involved. The boundaries that we have focused on, are as follows: 1. The Climate Region Boundary 2. The Landform Region Boundary 3. The Soils Region Boundary 4. The Vegetation Region Boundary 5. The Discontinuous Ecumene Boundary 6. The Continuous Ecumene Boundary 7. The International Boundary Each of…

One of the possible reforms the government has jurisdiction to influence is educational reform. The federal government could urge the provincial governments to re-write the Aboriginal sections of the educational curriculum to include current Aboriginal affairs and culture. This could positively influence future generations to not rely on stereotypes when regarding Aboriginal people in Canada. Another reform could be incentivising non-profit organizations to work…
