require a conflict resolution mechanism in order for it to work. The ability to go about these changes would be extremely difficult due to the need for a constitutional amendment, a requirement that is regarded as being necessary according to the Supreme Court of Canada The discussion of an amendment to the Constitution to allow for an elected Senate appears to be an impossible as well by the declaration by the province of Quebec that it is unwilling to negotiate on the issue…

ever-flowing stream of Canada history, there is a bunch of memorable giants showing up successively, Diefenbaker, William Lyon Mackenzie, John MacDonald and Pierre Trudeau, these names are probably engraved deeply in every Canadian’s brain. However, there is another guy should be memorised, Stephen Harper. Harper is an often-underestimated Canadian politician, and he became his country's first conservative prime minister in 13 years when he led his party to victory in January of 2006. Harper…

His family migrated to Kingston, Upper Canada, now known as Ontario, Canada in 1820. Throughout his adolescent years, he took interest in law and was well-capable of managing a branch legal office in Naponee by himself at the age of 17.

All the efforts that were increasing the autonomy in Québec were not enough for Lévesque, who sought sovereignty for the province. "In 1966, the Lesage government was defeated and Lévesque — increasingly nationalistic, and critical of his party 's relations with the federal government — quit the Liberals the following year to found the Mouvement souveraineté-association, which in October 1967 became the Parti québécois" (Foote and Latouche). Lévesque was unsuccessful in winning a seat in the…

In 1984 Brian Mulroney led the Progressive Conservative party to a resounding electoral victory, gaining more than fifty percent of the vote, a rare feat in Canadian federal politics (Blake, 2007: 3). He promised to take the country, which was then suffering from an economic recession, in a new direction, as politicians often do. By the time he left office in 1993 he was one of the most unpopular Prime Ministers in Canadian history. But the politics of the time do not speak to the breadth and…

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…
