While Laurier argued that Canada could complete effectively compete against the United States, popular opinion in either eastern or western Canada was not supportive of entering into free trade with the United States and its larger industrial capacity. As a result support for the Liberals was not as strong as what the Liberals might expect due to the fact that for many Western Canadians the fear of being assimilated into, or overrun by, the greater American population and America's greater industrial base was greater than potentially seeing some economic benefit offered from either reciprocity or a Commercial Union or free trade in any format. According to Baker this played into the Conservatives' hands due to the Liberals' making this the election's central issue because it formed a stark contrast between the Liberals and the Conservatives. The Liberal policy made many Canadians anxious about their political, social and economic futures while the Conservatives offered a clear alternative through allowing Canadians to stay on the same economic policy, and by extension guaranteeing the social and political futures of those who were concerned about the Liberal policy which turned out to be the sizeable majority of the Canadian

Canada has been defined by its contributions at home and abroad in WWI, WWII, and peacekeeping. World War I played an important role in Canada’s history.

What would Canada be without the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission? One of the purposes of the CRTC is to maintain Canadian culture and identity by reserving a percentage of media and music to Canadian content. It also assists the music industry by promoting Canadian based performers, writers, and producers. On the other hand, limiting a portion of media to Canadian content means less from other countries, causing Canadians to have less of a variety of sources to choose from. This limits the extent to which citizens of Canada can develop their identity.
The Impact of Jazz on Canada in the 20th Century Though not an entirely Canadian concept, jazz had a significant impact in Canada in the years 1918-1950. Early jazz music in Canada was dependent on touring artists from American cities, who would occasionally perform in cities near the border.n Canada, jazz music was still in its infancy, whereas jazz was “born” in 1895 in the US. Jelly Roll Morton was one of the first Americans to tour in Canada, performing in Vancouver cabarets from 1919-1921. The genre made its way into Winnipeg, Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal independently, each city having their own scene.

This provides a prime example of willingness to pay for the radio, and how people changed their lives to spend the time to listen to it.
There are very few things in existence that can impact and help shape many parts society as television is able to do. With just the press of a button, a person can gain a front row seat to different aspects of the world such as politics, news updates, entertainment, or travel, without having to leave the comfort of their living room. Information wasn’t always this easy to attain though. Television, an everyday amenity, took decades of time and research for inventors to create. America during the 1920’s had very little in means of communication when compared to today’s media.
The Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) was established on 1st January 1978 under the principle of providing multilingual and multicultural radio and television services to Australians whose first language was not English. (Australia Government, 2015) It is a government owned, national broadcasting service that was founded at a time of changing Australia immigration policies.
