“The federal government is the balance of the federal system means using counterweights” Pierre Trudeau. For this essay I agree that the federal political system effectively governs all Canadians. The Magna carta was a charter made by the King John for a solution towards his political crisis. The Charter made the King equal to his people and let commoners from outside form a government which became a federal political system. It was held accountable for voicing citizens. The three points that I…

According to J.R. Mallory’s paper, “Cabinet Government in Canada,” the federal cabinet of Canada roots from the British governmental system. In many ways, Canada has kept British traditions, but as it developed, the governmental systems grew more different.

The Final Say What do I consider to be the most important thing every Canadian should know? Well I think the government is the most important thing Canadians should know. Not just the people in the government, but what is happening in our government, what laws want to be placed, or taken away, or how they run our government, or what they plan to do for the future of our great country. I think all Canadians should know who is running the government, what they do, and how the will shape our future…

In the House of Commons, issues of the day are examined, the government is held accountable, and policies and laws are decided on.

The Senate is the upper house in Canada’s bicameral parliamentary democracy. It is argued that the Senate in Canadian Parliament should be abolished due to many reasons. In my opinion, however, I believe we should keep the Senate, but reform it. Ever since Canada is formed as a country, the Senate has existed in the parliament; it has already become a part of Canadian history and holds a lot of significance. The Senate has contributed to the society a lot, even though unnoticeably. It regularly…

Just this past January, my business solicitor and second father, Hanson, did me a great service and obtained my allowance to attend Harrow. Harrow is a boarding school, which only has boys, which makes me very excited indeed, as I will have fellows with which I can roughhouse (The Byron Chronology). Today is my first day at Harrow and already I have a tutor by the name of Henry Dury. He is the son of the headmaster and I feel as though I am already making connections to the top. He is quite a…

I have watched Beatles movie “Help!”, and I find it very interesting since the story is entertaining and their songs are enjoyable. Beatles are shown performing in this movie. The movie describes a story that Ringo wears a ring that makes him a sacrificial victim of an eastern cult. The Clang and the mad scientist Foot are going after the Beatles for the ring. The movie ends up with Ringo getting off the ring and being free from the sacrificial victim. There are some Beatles songs in the movie,…
