Premiered in the 1879, Denmark, “A Doll’s House” initially received heavy criticism for its controversial attitude towards marriage norms and the role of women in society. In a Victorian society dominated by men, Ibsen saw the…

The movie “Shake Hands with the Devil” is a true story about the brutal history of the Rwandan genocide. It is originally a book that was written by Romeo Dallaire; who is a Canadian humanitarian, and retired senator, that served as a force commander of UNAMIR (United Nations Assistance Mission for Rwanda). The movie shows tragic scenes of how the feud between the Hutus and Tutsis affected their way of living harshly. Overall, the validity of the film is quite high, however, it contains…

The Takata Corporation Recall is the largest in human history. The problem (more often than not) originates in the steering wheel, more specifically the airbag. An airbag is like a really cool balloon, instead of someone blowing it up, or inflating it with a helium tank; an explosion takes care of that. The idea is that the explosion fills the balloon with nitrogen and a wave of concussion, but only for the moment of a crash then the airbag generally deflates. For the most part, airbags are a…

Taylor is an interesting mix between someone who works in academic philosophy and in the political sphere. According to Taylor, Canada represents a united…

activities have enhanced the separatism even further. In 1982, the Meech Lake Accord failed, which proposed to separate the power of the federal government and gave them to the provinces directly(Gall,2005). It also considered Quebec as a distinct society. Once someone had more power, then the more ambitious he would be. The same as Quebec, It got his power, and then it wanted to be sovereign. Ten years later, the Charlottetown Accord failed as well. Nowadays, though Quebec is still belong to…

that only divided the federal government and the provinces. But they failed, so Prime Minister Trudeau met the premiers in Ottawa in 1981 on November 4th. Then, in the kitchen over many cups of coffee in the National Conference Centre, the Kitchen Accord was hammered out. The justice ministers from Ontario and Saskatchewan did this, along with federal Justice Minister Jean Chretien. Then, they woke up the provincial premiers and asked them to approve the deal. The notwithstanding clause was…
