Viola Irene Desmond has been recognized as an important person to Canadian history because it is to commemorate and acknowledge the brave actions of a woman who took a stand against racism and segregation. Also it is important to remember and to learn from history so that history does not repeat itself. Desmond was a beautician and mentor to young black women at her beauty school. She was falsely arrested on November 8th, 1946 at Roseland Theatre in Nova Scotia. Because of this action she rose up and fought against her charges.
Queen Isabelle had a small town role, but a very large effect on the court case. She was also the influence behind some of President Van Buren 's decisions over the case. She had different reasons behind her opinion on the case. At this time the Queen was only thirteen years of age and most of her diplomatic opinions were very much influenced by her royal advisors. One of the Queen 's arguments was that the treaty between the United States and Spain, Pinckney 's Treaty, should be enforced, this would have helped her fight to keep slavery.
Today, Canada is seen as a multicultural and peaceful nation that has evolved over the course of history. This great nation would never have been possible without the impact that former Prime Minister, Lester B. Pearson left on this country. His achievements and insights profoundly affected and shaped Canada’s nation. First, peacekeeping is an important part of Canada’s heritage and a reflection of its fundamental beliefs that Pearson implemented after dealing with world changing situations and winning a Nobel Prize. Also, his contributions as a liberal leader as well as the flaws and controversy with Diefenbaker did in fact define this country.
They tried to appeal to the government, however the benefits of oil to Canada economically was too tempting to grant their appeal. Still, the reason why the Lubicon don’t legally own the land was not their wrong. The government was the one who overlooked them. Even without papers, it is just to say that the Lubicon Cree actually legally own the land and therefore they have the rights to decide what happens to the land. Lubicon Cree is part of Canada.

The B.C./Yukon Association of Drug War Survivors sued the City of Abbotsford after city workers used chicken manure to disperse a homeless camp.

WWII- The Internment of Japanese Canadians When the Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor, shock and anger gripped many Canadians. This is the event that prompted the discrimination of the Japanese in Canada. All Japanese nationals, who were people born in Japan but living in Canada, and Canadian citizens of Japanese descent were imprisoned under the War Measures Act. Japanese Canadians were taken from their homes, packed into trains, and sent to internment camps in the interior of British Columbia.
History Culminating Reflection William K. L. Lore was an inspiration to many Canadians during his time. If I could meet him, I would ask how it felt to not only be the first Chinese Canadian to enter the Canadian civil service, but the first Chinese Canadian in the Royal Canadian Navy and in any of the British Commonwealth navies. Another question that would concern him would be, what made him study Mining Engineering, and if he was not able to study Mining Engineering, what else he would like to study. Furthermore, I would ask him about why he wanted to join the Royal Canadian Navy, as he most likely knew that people of Canada were racist and why he kept attempting to join the Royal Canadian Navy, even after he was denied entrance three times.
The Canadian Magazine Dispute Matthew J. S. Taylor University of the People Personally, I believe that there were genuine desires to protect Canadian culture in the U.S.-Canadian magazine dispute. It was considered important that Canadian authors and publishers be given the chance to write and distribute that written material to Canadians without being completely overshadowed by American publications. Without these desires at heart, American publications could be allowed to compete with and overshadow Canadian publications in a completely unrestricted way. In terms of the extent that the dispute was motivated by these desires, I would say that it was only 25 percent motivated by these desires, and 75 percent driven by economic

Unbeknownst to Joan, her actions led by divine order would end with the most significant battle being fought alone in the court room.
Unlike our neighbours down below. We have these special set of rights called Collective Rights that recognise three major groups of Canada: First nations, Metis and Language Minority. Canada also has the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms that was signed in 1982. This recognizes individuals and the collective rights in Canada. My first stamp shows the layout of Canada were Treaties 1 to 11 are on the map.
