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…

What makes a nation? Beyond the difference of Nations and States, what really makes a Nation and how does one identify as a member of said Nation? When discussing whether or not Canada is actually a nation or a state with multiple nations within (as discussed later), the question I pose is: Why is this even a question? Why is there such disbelief or bewilderment when discussing whether or not Canada is a Nation; why does no one have the same reaction when the United States is the one in question…

Laurier was the first French Canadian Prime Minister of Canada, but he did not just support the French, he also supported the English. He Believed in equality and compromise for all.

Although prohibition no longer exists in Canada, it is still pertinent to most Canadians today. For instance, one long-term effect Prohibition has had on Canadians is the evolution of organized crime. There is no denying that Canadians played a big part on the rum-running business as they assisted Americans with a huge supply of liquor. As a matter of fact, these crimes committed during prohibition influenced gang and criminal society in Canada and around the world thus leading to the evolution…

We can compare this to…

Back in around 1534, Jacques Cartier claimed the region of Canada for his country. Although we know this area as Canada today, back then, Cartier called it New France (History). The country of France colonized this area and their culture in a sense rubbed off creating almost a second France. Over the hundreds of years, some things have changed and Canada no longer completely mimics France. It has set itself apart, but has managed to maintain some of its colonizer’s great culture. Both France and…

The fur trade was the second staple industry in Canada and at the time was a dominant source of employment. The Montreal fur trade emerged slightly after the Hudson Bay fur trade and employed a distinctly different structure. The main difference that emerged with the Montreal fur trade was that it hired voyageurs to transport fur and goods all across central Canada. In her article, Carolyn Podruchny explores the relationships between the servant voyageurs and their bourgeois masters and the…
