country’s national identity- the “terms in which political demands are shaped and voiced” (Brainyquote, 2016). In Quebec, language had a great influence in bringing about the basic foundation of the identity of the province, as evident in the ways the use of French distinguished Quebecois from the rest of the country, and the shaping of culture within Quebec towards more of French origin. Quebec is the only province in Canada…

In terms of the Red River Rebellion, “Canada, a People’s History” clearly casts the Canadians and its settlers as the antagonists. Instead, the film paints a biased view favouring the Métis, which is undoubtedly evidenced throughout the video. To begin, when Canada attempts to unify the East and the West, extending its arms out to the prairies, “Canada, a People’s History” depicts these events as Canada, bloodthirsty for more land, seeking to take over the prairies without the consent of its…

The earliest claim to Hans Island is by Denmark. A map appearing in Meddelelser om Grønland is the first geological map to show Hans Ø. It was compiled in 1922 and published in 1931. Danish geologist have also found evidence that the island is more geologically similar to Greenland than to Ellesmere Island. (Dawes and Tukiainen 78-79). Denmark also claims Hans Island based on a ruling made in 1933 by the Permanent Court of International Justice decided in favor of Denmark over the legal…

CRACK! The ice breaks under the Inuit hunter, while he is waiting for his chance to catch a walrus or any other food they can find. He tries to jump out of the way of the newly found hole in the ice, but slips. He swerves with all his might to get out of the way of the hole, and barely made it. Now, the ice in the Arctic is melting very fast, due to all the pollution we are causing, and the Inuit are living there, and have to watch as their home begins to melt. In other places, the Iroquois and…

The Canadian national anthem should not be changed because Canada is not represented by a song, one word is not worth our time, and Canadians are only taking offense to the idea of having gender exclusive lyrics. First, all Canadians are familiar with the national anthem but do not live their lives according to the lyrics and more often than not, do not evaluate it word for word. Some may argue that this song is leaving a negative impression on girls and women, but “It is also hardly the source…

Canada advances as one of the most powerful nations thriving in equality. The federal government announced that it will assist Afghanistan in creating a more peaceful environment for the Afghan people. However, as Canada embraces international challenges, struggles remain within the peaceful nation. First Nation Chief Phil Fontaine’s criticism of the federal budget brings back the light of a hidden issue of the Canadian government: the Canadian Colonial oppression of the Aboriginal people. He…

represents the First Nations people, as the have a strong connection to Canada’s history. However we still decided to keep the crown to represent Canada as a constitutional monarchy that is run by a sovereign. On the right of the totem pole, is the Quebec flag, the Fleurdelisé. We swapped this design for the Canadian flag, as it is widely known across the world. On the contrary we kept the Union Jack ( United Kingdom Flag), because the United Kingdom has played an important role in shaping…

Canada is a large country filled with provinces that range in cultural distinctiveness, political life and overall economic goals. In a sense, each province is unique from one another and can be seen as a “small world” within a larger Canadian context. In the article titled: “Small Worlds of Diversity: Views Toward Immigration and Racial Minorities in Canadian Provinces”, Antoine Bilodeau, Luc Turgeon and Ekrem Karakoc examine each province’s views on immigration and racial minorities by…

Quebec has played a special role in French history of Canada. They spoke French in France, they feel that the way of living in France is still different from the North American mentality in Quebec. However, it doesn't mean that Quebec culture is exactly the different as the rest of Canada. I think it would be dangerous for them to do based on their history, traditionalism and their deep passion to do. Canada is at the reason why Quebec even existed. I think Quebec should not separate. Canada is…

inhabited by approximately 35 million people whose majority lives in the southern area, mostly in urban areas. Canada has, due to its history, two official languages, namely English and French whereby French is predominant in the eastern territory of Quebec and English in all the other parts. However, since Canada is a multicultural country,…
