Committees are messy. Few, if any, routinely reach mainstream media attention (see Section V). Less generate political traction. And when committees become important, they not so infrequently become televised, more politicized, and then largely ignored by stakeholders. Consequently, when deciding on a normative lens, the study of House of Commons committees should rely on Deborah Stone’s polis model specifically because of its focus on realpolitik instead of the idealism rejected in the…

Canadian Culture Culture can be defined as the behaviours and belief characteristics of a particular social, ethnic or age group that is being passed down from generation to generation. Each and every one of the world's many nations is unique in its own way. No two nations are the same in terms of the way they live. Whether it is by how they eat, how they communicate or their style of clothes. Unlike others, Canadian culture is diverse and greatly affected by persons from around the world.…

Why have we not all accepted gay marriages in Canada? As human beings we should understand that everyone is different, accepting gay marriages does not harm society, we should all be accepting gay marriages because it is a form of love. In the past Canadians have already somewhat accepted and understood the values of love by legalizing gay marriage and creating equal rights after marriage. Some people still believe that Gay couples are not natural and represent a sin to humanity, thus there is…

The people who immigrate to Canada often have different religious and beliefs and in Canada they are allowed to practice whatever they like and are…

However, a responsible citizen must be cognizant of the fact that choices are complex and not easy.The source is a quote that supports government involvement in the lives…

Responsible government and separation of powers are the two most widespread forms of democracy in the modern world. Responsible government was born in England and is now a regime that we have in Canada. First, it emerged to give more independence to the colonies, but later became fully independent from the Crown, except Crown 's formal duties. USA, on another hand is build on principle of separation of powers, to ensure freedom from England, tyranny or any kind of usurpation of power. In this…

Cold War ended in 1990 with the collapse of the Soviet Union. International relations were also uneasy in Canada for a long time. Quebec wanting to separate from Canada was a big problem and it caused a lot of havoc even to the point where Pierre Elliot Trudeau had to enact the War Measure Act, the first time it happened without a war happening. Quebec felt that they were outsiders in Canada because of their French culture against the English Culture. There was even a terrorist group called…
