Since Canada was able to free the Dutch from the Germans when they did, they were able to save many citizens from starvation. It is necessary that citizens are aware of the noble accomplishments of Canadians during WWII. Ultimately, the Netherlands and the liberation of Europe are highly significant since these events ended the war in Europe, had many Canadian casualties, created a lasting bond between the Netherlands and Canada, earned Canada further international respect, and saved innocent
As a country Canada’s strengths included, gaining autonomy through persevering and showing just how mature and ready Canadians were to be in charge of their own army; and be recognized as a separate country from Britain. Another one of Canada’s strengths was how calmly autonomy was achieved after the war. Canada did not need to make a fuss about becoming their own country because it was obvious that they were already ready for that. Their proof was presented in how they planned and executed their battles, and fought alongside Britain to successfully defeat
Canada is known globally for diversity and acceptance of different
The way that the rest of the world views Canadians and their indigenous people is very different to how they truly are, and how Canadians view and treat their indigenous people. In the 2010 Vancouver Olympics there was a lot of controversy concerning the logo for the games. The logo is what many may call a inukshuk but really it is a inunguat which is a representation of a man and not what the Vancouver Olympics symbolized it to be Inukshuk’s will never be shaped like they were ( news paper) . There were many other flaws from the dances chosen to preform and the contradictory fact that the land used to create the venues were where crucial to the indigenous people. This was a great chance to show the world our history and our first nations people, but I doesn’t seem fair after years of neglect to portray to the world a scud notion of how aboriginals are and were treated.
Lastly, Pearson created the Canadian identity by unveiling the new flag, bringing equality with
Overall Canada's Autonomy was improved socially, economically and politically as Canada become more and more independent and equal to the British Empire. Canada grew Politically as they made decisions for itself and did not rely on Britain to approve of the decisions. Canada grew socially as they created their own broadcasting channel where Canadian artists, singers, and entertainers could be heard. Finally economically where Canada became heavily involved in trade with the United States and broke trade with Britain meaning more resources manufactured and send without tax. The late 20s’ and 30s’ were not only a building place for Canada as a whole but a start for independence freedom and equality for Canada and its citizens.
Those who don’t live or have ever been may think that Canada is a country that is not diverse maybe even monocultural, that Canada is flat full of only farmland and rural towns, that we live lives fueled by hockey and that is all that Canada is. In reality every Canadian knows it is much more it is diverse, scenic and urban. In the essay “My Canada” by Anita Rau Badami she said this about Canada “the country had been doing a slow dance for me over the nine years that I had lived here, showing me tantalizing little bits of itself every now and then.” The quote by Badami says that Canada has little charms spread throughout the country, such as the vastness and natural beauty of Lake Louise and all National Parks. Festivals in Edmonton which displays Canadian culture and a variety of other cultures from around the earth.
In 1967 the French President visited and advocated for Quebec’s separation from Canada. Lester Pearson shut it down and made it evident that the President was no longer welcome into Canada as he voiced those types of thoughts. The first race-free immigration system that Pearson instituted is still in effect today as it is so efficient. With immigration, the country’s population only grows as Canada can reap the benefits as this would mean more labor, tax-payers, creative ideas for inventions and more. (“Lester B. Pearson,” Canadian Content) When Lester B. Pearson earned and received the Nobel Peace Prize for all his help resolving the Suez Crisis conflict, it was then put on display at the headquarters of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade in Ottawa to
When Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier stated, “As the 19th century was that of the United States, so I think the 20th century shall be filled by Canada”, the decades that followed provided his statement to be true as Canada became an independent and strong nation. The battlefields in World War One were a defining moment for Canada as their forces fought as one nation for the first time, instead of under British Command. Also, at the end of the war, Canada was recognized at the Peace Conference and signed the Treaty of Versailles as an independent country. In addition, Canada joined the League of Nations, playing a major role in world politics. These events in the early 20th century allowed the beginning of a strong nation with a growing national
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. It shaped Canada by giving women suffrage and by the war creating a greater divide between French and English Canadians. By the end of WWI, the Canadian government

The success of Expo 67 brought French and English Canadians together with a tremendous amount of pride for their country as a whole. 120 governments were represented at the six month exposition full of technology, art and culture. Historica Canada called this expo, “ the most successful international exhibitions of the 20th Century,” in an article about the topic. Canadians could anxiously watch as the number of tourists to their country rose each day, the expo alone recorded over 55 million admissions (CE).
When thinking about purchasing food we are often told that buying local is better for the community as it puts the money in the pocket of a small business owner and not for a corporation's CEO to purchase their third vacation home. But, often what we don't look at is the other things we purchase like clothing, cars, beauty products and day-to-day items. It is very common that many household products are made in China, as it is a lot cheaper to manufacture things there and send them to our local Walmart or retail store for Canadians to consume. I wanted to see how many things in my day-to-day life are produced outside of Canada and what I buy that is produced in Canada. Of course starting with food, I often buy from the local market; unfortunately,
