The Komagata Maru The Komagata Maru has been an important aspect to the life of many individuals because it changed the immigration policy and it is the reason why Canada has become a multi-cultural country today. Canada had a main focus to exclude Chinese, Japanese and Indian immigrants. In 1904, Canada raised the head tax which is a tax on incoming Chinese laborers, to $500 which is equal to two years ' gross earnings of a Chinese laborer here (Hannant).

Canadian identity. I see Canada as a ‘cultural mosaic’; a multicultural country where different cultures and identities coexist peacefully. In other countries, assimilation is integrated as part of the immigration process, and even require the immigrant ‘to fit in’ with the culture. In contrast, Canada is a very fluid culture.

Sir Wilfred Laurier once said, “I think we can claim that Canada will fill the twentieth century” and boy did Canada claim this past century. Not only did they defy all odds by winning the Battle of Vimy Ridge but they also gained a voice in international relations. Canada was viewed as an attractive country from…

This working paper explores divergent conceptions of reconciliation in the context of relations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada.

Some events that have taken place in history for Canada to coalesce and create its core values were the battle of Vimy Ridge, the 100 Days Battle, Balfour Declaration and Statute of…

countries, especially for people of Japanese descent living in Canada. The Japanese-Canadian internment is a defining moment in Canada because it shows how poorly the Canadian governments, politicians, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), and labour unions treated Japanese-Canadians. They had no freedom; were incarcerated in internment, road, or prisoners-of-war camps; and lastly, were unequal compared to everyone else living in Canada, especially the white people.
