Additionally, Trudeau then was tasked with attempting to negotiate a settlement with the reluctant premiers, which argues that Trudeau's strategic maneuvers and the premiers' unyielding resistance reflect the clash between centralizing and decentralizing forces within Canada's political landscape. The disagreement over the language rights made the settlement process far more complicated than expected. The amending formula and the provisions on language rights became central points of contention, reflecting the deeply entrenched regional divisions and divergent views on federalism and individual rights. Trudeau was very passionate about his version of the Charter, and Graham argues that Trudeau used his abilities and background in his longstanding commitment to human rights and democratic freedoms, shaped by his experiences as a student and his efforts to combat oppression and discrimination in Quebec in the 1940s to push for said
First, lowering the tax rate for the middle tax bracket is a great way of supporting middle class families financially and since of Canada’s population is in this tax bracket, many will benefit from this tax cut. Also, raising the tax bracket for the wealthiest of Canada who only make up one percent of the Canadian population would give the middle and low class,t the rest of canada, a financial break. and this would not having a significant impact on the lifestyle of the one percent since they already make so much money, over $200 000 annually. As well, replacing the “Universal Child Care benefit” which is taxable, with the “ Canadian Child Care Benefit” which is tax free, will help Canadian families with young children who make up Canada’s future. By doing this, the liberals are investing into Canada’s future which is going to benefit Canadians in the long
Trudeau and his leaders stated the dangers of using these kind of blanket statements like “Canada’s anti-Semitism in the 30s and 40s”. Trudeau won the muslim vote by campaigning in sikh temples and supporting woman wearing hijabs. Trudeau explained that Canada’s population has more immigrants than even the U.S. aka the melting pot. He stated ”We know our enviable, inclusive society
Bill C-24 introduces reforms that undermine the fundamental rights of many Canadians and presents more difficult requirements for applicants. Under the former Act, citizenship applicants only needed to reside in Canada for three out of four years which is a minimum of 1,095 days. The current Act introduces a more lengthy residency requirement by requiring applicants to be physically present in Canada for four out of six years, and applicants must also provide an “intent to reside” statement (Citizenship and Immigration Canada, 2014, February 6). The former Act barred applicants who had domestic criminal charges and convictions. The current Act expands the bar to applicants with foreign criminal charges and convictions (Citizenship and Immigration Canada, 2014, February 6).
However contemporary Canada is not without its issues, as stated earlier. Even with these important lessons, and our written out charter that has the basic rights for humans, we still fail to support and provide these rights to many marginalised communities and
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.
My issue with Canada's government is bill c-51, this bill is the worst bill that could ever be passed for a person like me. I have grandparents who want to visit my family and me, in their old age, before they pass away, but the immigration office won't grant them visit visa either. This is the biggest reason why I am against bill c-51 (anti-terrorism act).Bill c-51 states that if an officer has a doubt of you being a terrorist he can stop you and revoke your citizenship and also send you back from where you came from, even if your about to land they will make you stay on the plane and send you back, they won't even allow to get off how cruel is that, even if you are not a terrorist. The worst part about this bill is that if they have a doubt

Stephen Harper presented this apology to formally recognizes the dark chapter in our history as wrong and that it “has no place in our country.” This apology was long overdue and should have happened earlier since the last residential school closed in 1996. Without an apology, the government recognized that “there has been an impediment to healing and reconciliation” for those who have been impacted by residential schools. With this apology, it acknowledges the fact that residential schools were real and has deeply impacted the lives of Aboriginal people. The apology ended with by mentioning of “the cornerstone of the settlement agreement is the Indian Residential Schools Truth and Reconciliation Commission [TRC].”
Greatly valued in the west, Canada is proud to have a set of rights and freedoms granted to every one of its citizens. Under the Canadian Charter Rights and Freedoms, it dictates what the state’s citizens are entitled to, which can involve the right to expression and the right to equality. Of course, there are reasonable limitations to these rights, such as restricting what sort of speech is free, but since the September 9, 2011 attack in New York City (hereby referenced as 9/11), the Canadian government has been passing legislature that has been cracking down hard on these rights. These legislatures, such as Bill C-36, has been created specifically to fight off terrorism, but this fight has been done almost blindly and in a rash manner. Cases
Firstly, he created the 1969 White Paper, which aimed to assimilate Indigenous people into Canadian culture. “He [Trudeau] and Jean Chrétien, his minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development at the time, proposed in a White Paper in 1969 that the special legal relationship between First Nations and the government of Canada be severed and all Indigenous Peoples fully integrated into Canadian life” (Blake & Donaldson, 2021). The 1969 White Paper was met with vigorous opposition from Indigenous leaders all across the country and it sparked the beginning of a new era of Indigenous political organizing in Canada. Trudeau soon recognized that his largely assimilationist policy was not likely to convince anyone that it was either workable or just. Subsequently, he fully understood the conditions and treatment of Indigenous people in Canada and did not do anything to help them; “Trudeau understood fully the conditions in which many Indigenous Peoples lived in 1969.
I agree with Trudeau’s ideals of how national relationships should operate. In my view, it’s because some don’t prioritize interaction and being open with each other that our current society is plagued by a discriminative feature: stereotypes. The problem affects both our government and social society. Because of stereotypes, there are certain aspects expected from a person because of their race, beliefs, and/or culture. Stereotypes are widely known and are hard to get rid of since, some choose to be ignorant in learning the various types of people we will come to communicate with; their lack of knowledge would force them to use the information available to them, which are stereotypes.
Did you know that The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was set in place in 1982? The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is set in place to help protect the individual rights of Canadians. Within the Charter, Canadian citizens have many rights and freedoms, for example, the right to express their opinion, vote, move freely around Canada and to be free from discrimination. If the government enacts legislation to refute these rights and freedoms, as Canadians, we are able to take the issue to the Supreme Court of Canada to fight for our rights. Democratic rights give you the right to vote for members of the House of Commons and the provincial legislature.
The Charter further ensures a democratic society as it guarantees the fundamental rights such as voting rights, mobility rights and equality rights, which contain the protection against discrimination (Margaret, web). The laws successfully develop to balance the rights of the new immigrants and the interests of the Canadian society. On 2001, November 1st, Immigration and Refugee Protection Act was announced as a symbol of forming the Canadian multicultural society. It mainly improved the laws towards refugee determination, family reunification and gained the control over the country borders(Dwight L. Gibson eta·85). As the globalization has become the main stream of the world, Canada has advantages to move towards this goal as an immigration
