Reform Party of Canada

contributed to the severity of the Great Depression in Canada, most importantly poor government policies like laying off employees making cuts to health care, etc... I believe there was both successful and unsuccessful attempts to improve our economy, let’s see which one outweighs the other. The Prime Minister of Canada In 1929, was William Lyon Mackenzie King, who was disinclined to admit the existence of the economic crisis. King believed that Canada would not be affected by the depression…

system. By the time the reforms were introduced into the earlier laws the most important issue was ending gender discrimination in the ruling on the rape victims. This was a positive direction and it enhanced the confidence of the people in the judicial system. However, the priority of various parties affected by the reforms has changed and they need more specific definitions with regard to terms used in the rape cases such as consent. Therefore, this calls for more reforms into the law to…

they don’t have to live in constant fear, such as Canada. They choose Canada because they believe it is a democratic state that will ensure their safety. However, the conservative party believes these people seek refuge in Canada to take advantage of the health care system which is incorrect. Harris stated, “The government’s framing of refugee claimants as economic migrants undermines the traumatic experiences that spark most refugee arrivals in Canada” (Harris and Zuberi, 5). In 1957, a program…

place, Canada adopted many of their social identity concepts from the United States. For example, the Charleston, gained its popularity in the United States and was later a dance used by Canadians. Another example of this is the flappers, they had originally appeared in the US and later inspired young Canadian women. Also, the radio became a very popular piece of technology at the time and many people across Canada were using it. Only, Canadians did not listen to radio shows that were from…

being a Canadian to me is closely related to the idea of democracy and the rights and freedoms that we have as citizens of Canada. To me being Canadian has to do with the fundamental rights and freedoms set out by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms that each citizen of this country are permitted to have. This leads to my belief that an important issue within Canada today is Bill C-51 recently passed by the conservative government because it could potentially infringe upon those rights…

overall stricken during this period and in fact, for a short amount of time completely banned. These laws stayed in order until the National socialist party came into power with Hitler as their leader and enforced the new “Nazi” gun control reforms in 1938. In modern day Canada the latest bill passed regarding firearm control passed was Bill c-10. This reform amended the previous laws on gun control and made the law generally more stern in many ways such as raising the minimum penalty for…

in December of 2012 sparked a political debate with regards to the future of the Senate of Canada. Most will agree that the Senate is a thoroughly flawed institution, however the pros and cons of each proposition should be weighed before any action is taken. After presenting each of the proposed options regarding what decision is to be made about the future of the Senate, I will argue in favor of major reform. The Senate is a part of the bicameral legislature that consists of two chambers, the…

of Canada. The underlying belief in Quebec during the Quiet Revolution was that French Canadians played a subordinate role in socio-political and socio-economic matters in Canada and that reform of Quebec society was only attainable through the utilisation of Quebec to drive change. Jean Lesage, the elected Liberal Premier of Quebec in 1960, dispelled “Le Grande Noirceur” that the Union Nationale had previously disseminated in Quebec society and which had left Quebec behind the rest of Canada in…

rest but you can as well take it upon yourself to make a great impact on that which you've left behind you Stephen Joseph Harper brought about change all over Canada especially those districts and provinces he represented during his tenure in politics. Stephen Harper turned out to be a prominent and well respected member of the Reform Party. He proved to be very active when it came to constitutional matters and issues as early as his first parliamentary meeting playing an important role in…

Thirty years since C.E.S. Franks published his authoritative 1987 work The Parliament of Canada, and despite the elevated media profile for would-be parliamentarian reformers and refuseniks after the Lefebvre and McGrath parliamentary reforms, the current Canadian House of Commons committee system remains comparatively understudied to similar Westminster-style democracies. Decades worth of government responses to committee recommendations are largely untouched, even by the Library of…
