Jonathan Toews A hero is someone who you look up to, to be like. Jonathan Toews is my hero because he is hard working, very generous, and he helps out a lot with charity and fundraising. Jonathan is hardworking because he is on the ice every day to practice, when he is on the ice, he takes it very seriously, in hockey games he never gives up. He started at 3 years old and his dad said “he is like a little wiz.” In his Bantam year Jonathan was drafted #1 by the Tri-City Americans but he…

their rights, and were isolated geographically. This affected them by having no presence in economic competition. Individuals presently still contribute to this social problem by saying offensive statements due to historic crutches. A teacher from Winnipeg, Manitoba had posted on Facebook “They have contributed NOTHING to the development of Canada. Just standing with their hand out.

I might add now that upon passing him the first time the reason I thought I recognized him was because previously this evening, at the hostel, I thought I had seen him check-in. During the course of our conversation, he mentions that he 's from Winnipeg, that his parents work for a rail company thereby giving him free access to rail services.

Today’s generation has created a new form of racism in the society that insidiously affects the way marginalized people were treated even in clinical settings. Frideres and Gadacz (2012) initially mentioned that systemic racism is more covert and focused on the inferiority of a group’s way of life, their ethos and their assumptions about the world (p. 12). Unfortunately, Brian Sinclair is just one of the billions of minorities who suffered from these infected perceptions, negative connotations…

Prior to 1981 it was stated that if an indigenous women married a non-indigenous or non-status man she would lose her status. Meaning she is no longer aloud to live on reserve land. Many Indigenous women were upset over this matter and filed a court complaint. In 1970 Jeanette Corbiere Lavell married a European man, which made her lose her status.

A common justification for publication bans on the identities of sexual assault complainants is the stigma associated with being assaulted. According to Marco Chown Oved, investigative journalist for The Star, “Hardly anyone would be ashamed of reporting their car stolen, but admitting you’ve been raped has led, in other countries, to forced marriage with your aggressor or even honour killings by relatives. Those attitudes are present in Canada as well.” (https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2014/04…

The reading that resonated most with me was the article about Winnipeg’s Spence neighborhood. This article was about an inner city neighborhood in Winnipeg. A team of people set out to talk to Aboriginal residents of the community about the community development and community association. What they found was that many of the First Nations people residing in the neighborhood did not know about the community association at all. There was a lack of culture and diversity within the neighborhood,…

control the territory of Rupert's Land, which is called Manitoba today. The company wants to invade the Rupert's land. They forced the Métis people to leave their place because they wanted the land and used it as their fur trading post. Back then Winnipeg was known as the Red River Colony. With these decisions made by the Hudson's Bay Company, this made the Métis people triggered them to rebelled and fight against them.
