Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau Stereotypes

714 Words3 Pages

Since Justin Trudeau came into power as the Prime Minister(PM), his wife, Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau has attracted public attention. According to Toronto Sun, “[G]regoire- Trudeau certainly hasn’t avoided the limelight since her husband was swept into power last October, posing with him in a romantic Vogue photo-shoot, modeling Canadian-designed fashions, and even crooning her own composition at an event.” (Freeman, 2016). It means that she is narcissistic, and consequently, she exceeds the bounds; she publicly raised her need for more staff to deal with her engagements in an interview with Le Soleil, a Quebec City newspaper. I insist that Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau should not have more staff. Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau overlooks Canadian financial …show more content…

While some people claim that Gregoire-Trudeau has handled social causes since 2005 and she was not a PM’s wife at that time, I believe that the social causes were handled by just a TV broadcaster who wanted to show off. According to The Huffington Post Canada, Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau is an activist, TV personality and yoga practitioner, among other things (Ferreras, 2015). And now, she is a PM’s wife. For a long time ago, she has wanted to do a variety of activities as mentioned above and the activities are too excessive to be acted by one person. After being a PM’ wife, it seems to give her vanity wings. That’s why she can speak openly about more staff without worrying about mass opinion. Gregoire-Trudeau still mistakes herself for just a celebrity of famous person; she should stop showing off and being more cautious so that the political situation does not get out of …show more content…

Some people insist that previous PM’s wife, Mila Mulroney had three staff and her own office, so it is unfair to Gregoire-Trudeau not to have more staff; however, I think that there is nothing as foolish as repeating wrong way. As noted above, the request that she call for more staff is unreasonable; nevertheless, there might be a good excuse for having more staff, and even own office. She is Mila Mulroney, the wife of the previous PM Brian Mulroney. According to Toronto Sun, “[S]he was a notorious fashionista and consummate spender, which led her to being dubbed Imelda, in honor of the Philippines’ Imelda Marcos and her love shoes. Her prime minister husband once opined that if Mila ever had her credit card stolen, he wouldn’t report it to police because the thief would probably spend less on it than Mila” (Freeman, 2016). It implies that Mila Mulroney is not a suitable and ideal PM’s wife role model for Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau. Moreover, Gregoire-Trudeau does not have a formal position such as “First Lady”; consequently, it is ridiculous for a person who does not have official duties to have several staff and her own office. Just because Mila Mulroney had three staff, does not mean we need to repeat the same mistake for a person who does not hold an official

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.

Only in Quebec, where French-speakers were the overwhelming majority, was it possible to imagine the full economic, social, and cultural institutions of a modern society functioning in the French language” (Misconceiving Canada, page 32) As Quebec’s society modernized, Quebecois started seeing themselves as a distinct cultural group with its own history and values, separate from Anglo-Canadiens. They strongly believed that the federal government was failing to not only respect but also recognize its distinctiveness in the country. The Quiet Revolution symbolizes the future of Quebec’s Liberalism, however, displeased some such as Pierre Elliot Trudeau. “Upon his rejection of the Quiet Revolution would hang much of the future of Canadian politics.”

“ 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.

Today, with the Liberal Party of Quebec’s new leader, Philippe Couillard, showing his intentions to finally sign the Constitution, the relationship between Canada and Quebec has never been better. However, this relationship did not just seemingly appear out of nowhere; rather, Canada and Quebec have had their fair share of disagreements. These quarrels helped to shape their relationship into what it is now. Ultimately, most of these disagreements were caused by the differing views on the education system and the French Canadians, the importance of the English and French language, and the provincial status of Quebec.

“Let us be French, let us be english, but most importantly let us be Canadian.” This is a quote by John A. Macdonald from about 150 years ago and he was the first Prime Minister of Canada and had a political career which spanned for almost half a century. He also set a legacy that keeps our country together and united. One of the major events that happened that I will discuss is responsible government because it was a big part of history, was important to the people and it was an executive or Cabinet that would be dependent on the support of an elected assembly. But even before responsible government was created there was a lot of conflict between the British and the French which led to a few important events.

In her widely watched 2010 TED talk “Why We Have Too Few Women Leaders” (currently with more than 1.5 million views) Sheryl Sandberg, currently Chief Operating Officer of Facebook (and the first woman to serve on Facebook's board) and formerly Vice President at Google, shares her experience of being one of the rare women in top global management positions and offers advice to women who would like to succeed in their corporate careers. In the 15-minute video, Sandberg asks how we can fix the problem of having too few women in top leadership positions in spite of many advances in women’s rights being made. She argues that the solution lies with women themselves, as individuals, and the messages they need to tell themselves and their daughters. This entails three steps: (1) ‘sit at the table’, meaning women should negotiate for themselves more assertively and stop underestimating their abilities; (2) ‘make your partner a real partner’ and establish shared/equal responsibilities between partners at home (i.e. with raising children and housework); and (3) ‘don’t ‘leave’ before you leave’, which means continuing to work at the best of your abilities (i.e. ‘leaning in’ instead of ‘leaning back’ when the possibility of having a child is entertained) until
