In “Of hockey, Medicare and Canadian dreams”, Stephen J. Toope argues that Canada deserves to be celebrated for more than just hockey and Medicare, the most commonly associate emblems of the country, and instead to be directed by visionaries, and their decreased sense of humility. Additionally, Toope specifies that Canadians must confront their errors and understand their strengths, in order to further themselves as a strong country, and “grow up” (abstract). Over the many years of Canada’s existence, its citizens and base fundamentals have managed to solidify a society revolving around an openness to immigration, resulting in a rare evolution of a nation that is to be cherished. In relation, Toope expresses that it is a truism that many
This statement proves that Trudeau is not only concern about the English speaking community or the French speaking community. He is trying to accommodate both community’s
As a young child growing up in Canada, I didn't ever really understand the political satire that Rick Mercer was talking about on television. Who was Stephen Harper? What did being Prime Minister really mean? What I did know, nevertheless, was that he was funny. Canadians young and old know this, and that is one of the reasons why his largely popular show, The Mercer Report, is still running after 13 seasons.
The square in Quebec’s downtown area was not even fully populated. It shows how unpopular he was. Parizeau had made his schedules packed to promote, but citizens were not affected by him. Even changing his words for voters to vote yes, “Vote yes and I will negotiate a new partnership with Canada”. During the referendum, Jacques Parizeau made a comparison between the referendum to a hockey game in the third period.
Canada just like many of the other kids in his neighborhood where missing several of these control variables that could prevent them from deviating. Canada did not have any attachment with positive role models like teachers, coaches, or staff, he mentions how one particular time he trusted a teacher with information that could have got him beaten up and that teacher betrayed his trust, never again did he trust teachers. Canada’s father which is supposed to be the most important role model in his life was missing. He also did not have positive commitments to anything because he was not involved
He states that the Canada’s current economy unfairly treats the middle and working classes, as they work more than before and yet make less . Since Harper is the Prime Minister it is then his fault. Thus, Trudeau has us feel anger towards Harper, as the failed economy is due to Harper. How effective was this appeal.
Introduction Something of an enigma in that he was solidly socialist in his foundational views, themselves built on a Christian ‘social gospel’ which sought to improve industrialised society through the use of the biblical principles of charity and justice, at the same time Tommy Douglas worked with and through the capitalist system that he abhorred. An implicit nationalist in that he held the good of the Canadian people above other countries, Douglas was predominantly anti-liberal as he believed that public ownership was the next evolution of democracy, replacing a system where the “major economic decisions affecting the lives of ordinary people are not made by…the government of this country.” ’ (Aivalis) While he has now passed away his track records in both the national and provincial
Canada is now known to be a diverse, multicultural, bilingual and inclusive nation largely as a result of his work. Pierre Elliott Trudeau also believed in an equal Canada for all, he is primarily the one to introduce rights and freedoms to the citizens of Canada. While some view Pierre Trudeau as impulsive, for enforcing the War Measures Act, Trudeau enacted this for the protection of Canadian citizens against radical extremist and his actions were more rational than impulsive for the situation that had suddenly occurred. Pierre Trudeau was one of Canada’s greatest Prime Minister’s, who’s impact fundamentally changed the course of the nation by introducing multiculturalism, for introducing the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and for paradoxically upholding democracy by strong action during the October Crisis.
“ Their policies [ the Conservative party’s] appeared confused and impractical. “ (Fellows and Wells, 2013). This is perhaps most appearant in Diefenbaker’s ambitions to make Canada less dependent on the U.S. economically. Diefenbaker announced an ambitious plan that would allow Canada to move 15% of it’s trade from the U.S. to Britain. Ideally the plan addresses the growing discomfort that Canadian citizens had with the U.S.’s increasing role in their country.
This confirms that Trudeau can make a large commitment and still deliver results, which most politicians do not do. Trudeau essentially won everything he had aimed for all his life (Gwyn). Trudeau set a goal that he wanted to help protect the future for Canadian citizens by creating the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and was able to achieve this phenomenal action that will be forever remembered within Canadian history. By patriating the Constitution and its grounded Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Trudeau had disconnected the last colonial links between Great Britain and
Gandhi convinced the Indians that he could get them their independence. They would get their independence long as they didn't cooperate. Gandhi used a couple of lines from the Declaration of Independence that in other words meant, “if a law is unjust, then it is not a law.” Gandhi also told his people that in order to pretext they had to be willing to get jail time. Gandhi's methods worked because both his people and him were uncooperative.
Some Canadians believe that we should abolish it. Others could
This is because he believes that Canada will be remembered by the art we create, just like the Ancient Greeks or Egyptians were. But, this won’t happen because governments deem art as a non-essential course and cut it from the school curriculum. Many people are affected by this issue including students, teachers, and school boards. This issue affects kids who are interested in art because they do not get to show their interest in the class and develop their passion. This issue also affects students who are not as interested in the arts because they will never get to appreciate how significant art is to Canadian culture.
Canada is a strong country backed up by even stronger people. The fact that it surpassed the U.S.A, which was considered the 4th best country to live in, shows how much potential this country has with its extraordinary health care services and its fundamental freedoms. It also shows how Canada puts its citizens first above everything else and realizes that it is not perfect, and thus strives to improve its nature, relationships, and lifestyles with
