There is nothing called “a better system”, but only if that fits you better. Every country focuses on different points in their education, they want people in their country become better on a pacific ability （不懂）. In Canada, I found…

War of 1812 was a conflict between the United States and the British Empire. Causes of the war is British attempting to cut the U.S. trade. The Royal Navy also outraged by Americans by practice of impressment, or removing seamen from U.S. merchant vessels and forcing them to serve on behalf of the British.

television, automobiles, and art. Because Canada was late to the game of broadcasting, automobiles and country development, Canadians were heavily impacted by the American ways. During the 1950s to the 1980s Canada started to emerge and protect and grow their Canadian culture and identity.

NAFTA brought new and economic resources in Canada for a better economy and more…

Should Canada and the United States have a common economic system with little government involved? I don’t think they should have common systems because there are disadvantages to it. Now, don’t get me wrong because I know that there are advantages to it as well, but I believe that Canada should just stay the way it is. I could name several advantages and/or disadvantages, so here are some main ones about a market economy. There are many different perspectives on a market economy, some people…

caused some tension among the Francophone community, particularly in Quebec, as many immigrants are choosing to learn English over French. In the long term, this may be more beneficial to them, especially for those who wish to later travel through Canada or North America.
