Why it is great to become a Canadian? Feb 5th, 2016 Cecilia Zhu When the word Canada is present, some of the things show up in people’s mind are the magnificent natural scenery, the famous hockey playing and the cold climate in winter. However, not only these three terms make Canada distinct from the other counties and is considered as one of the greatest countries in the world. Canada has the second largest territory in the world with a long history. The history of Canada covers the period…

Former Canadian Minister of Trade, Richard John Cartwright, once said: “every real friend of liberty, will agree with me in saying that if we must erect safeguards, they should be rather for the security of the individual than of the mass”. It was in this spirit that the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms were established over a century later, entrenched in Canadian law. However, in our modern society, there still persists a struggle between two major groups: those who wish to enforce…

It was then updated with a Charter of Rights that was added. Trudeau wanted to patriate Canada’s constitution after the October Crisis and Parti Quebecois’ election to make Quebecois feel more confortable. He attempted to do this with a constitution that was made in Canada. However, Quebec was not content and the Constitution…

I decided to watch two commercials on Justin Trudeau and I'm actually quite impressed with the idea and message behind both of them. The first commercial I watched was “Escalator-Harder to Get Ahead”. Personally, I found that using the escalator to portray his thoughts was interesting. He stated that Harper is just causing the Canadian economy to move backwards due to the benefits he gives the wealthy and how he gives cuts to everything else. Next, he uses the escalator stopping to show that…

Canadians, who believe Justin Trudeau is needed in order to bring real change to the middle class citizens of Canada. It highlights the important and relevant things that Trudeau plans on accomplishing once he is elected. In the scenes where Trudeau is engaging with his supporters, many people are holding up signs with words such…

John A Macdonald was a great man and a great Canadian. Mr. Macdonald helped to build Canada as he was Canadas first prime minister. Macdonald was for every language, he did not discriminate against Lower Canada like some government officials did he was very open to work with them. He is also a great Canadian because he gave others the opportunity to be really amazing he gave them the opportunity to be a Canadian. John was the first prime minister of Canada and he helped to create Canada as we…

extraordinary Canadians that made Canada the great country it is today. As the 15th Prime Minister of Canada, Pierre Trudeau was one of those people. Pierre Trudeau’s beliefs in a strong, united Canada, his contributions in creating a culturally diverse society, created his legacy of creating a new sense of Canadian nationalism, which is what makes him the greatest Canadian. Pierre Trudeau always believed in a Canada that is strong and united, and this was a tricky thing to do, as English- and…

Pierre Trudeau 's attempts to create a sort of "National Identity" during his first term, from 1968 to 1972, has resulted in much debate and controversy. Each of these works looks at Pierre Trudeau from a different historiographical viewpoint. The reason for this is because Trudeau, and his "nationalist" policies, affected every aspect of Canadian citizens’ lives. This was due to the fact that Trudeau was essentially trying, in creating these policies, to answer the question that the Canadian…

The regiment had a conspicuous history, and they also had a talented band as well as meaningful insignia. In order to enhance my understanding of the Regiment, I decided to research even further. If you don't know already, the history of the Royal 22e Regiment is quite noteworthy. Moreover, it involves public rallies, political pressure, and eventually the creation of the first ever French-speaking Canadian regiment. Here's the story. The 1st Division of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF,…

on killing Laporte. It was like a battle between the FLQ and prime-minster Pierre Trudeau (at the time) to show who is more capable of doing the extreme. Of course Trudeau had to control the situation and therefore he put in strict laws/acts such as the War Measures Act. The effect of that decision was great because there were many Canadians whom were totally against it and it led to numerous protests.…
