II. DEAR GOD Although oppression and discrimination appear to be the main issues explored, Walker uses religion as a binding force, buffering the two other themes and as an insightful vehicle for widening audience appeal and empathy through the common voice of Christianity. Walker’s narration of the novel through a series of letters addressed “Dear God” subtly reinforces these other two themes and provides a raw account of Celie’s experiences through a shared audience perspective.

Quebecois “Distinct Nation” by Theresa Klein Throughout history many nations that have a powerful, shared sense of identity, but never acquired their own state or sovereign entity.

Secondly, the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism brought positive changes across Canada and positive impacts to Canadian identity. It also smoothened the relation between the French and English Canadians during the 1960s. To begin with, Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson was called upon by André Laurendeau with the fear of the rise of separatism in Québec after 1960: “Prime Minister Pearson responded by creating in 1963 the B&B Commission with Laurendeau and Davidson DUNTON as co-chairmen
French-Canadian culture has always been faced with the struggle to thrive in a land primarily dominated by an English culture. The increase in industrialization and urbanization, as well as the implementation of Regulation 17 were some of the obstacles that challenged the longevity of the French-Canadian culture.

“Canada’s road was evolutionary, not revolutionary.” To what extent do you agree with this question? The road to Canada’s independence was evolutionary due to changes and factors such as the formation of the new country, the new leading government and it was mostly made of negotiations to find what will best fit the new country. After the English took over New France, at that time called Lower Canada. The other part was Upper Canada. Eventually, Lower Canada became Quebec
The province of Quebec had wanted to separate from Canada for a decent amount of time. The thoughts of separation came in the late 1950’s and 1960’s, but was in full effect in the late 1960’s to the 1970’s, mostly due to the creation of the Parti Quebecois, created in 1968. It had become popular due to the party’s leader being René Lévesque, who was not only popular but influential too. In Canada, their urge to separate grew larger, for there were two moments in time, where they wanted to separate

Canada may be diverse right now, but if immigrants like Muslims cannot do basic things like wearing a hijab, it may not be for long. Immigrants should have the ability to continually promote their culture and religion. They can do this because it is in the Charter, in the Multiculturalism Act, and it does not bring harm
Throughout its history, Canada has pride itself on its ability to facilitate multiculturalism. It is a place where people of diverse origins, cultures and languages can work collectively and be successful. However, in Quebec, some minority groups may feel neglected in comparison to another; hence discrimination. As a result, one of the most essential factors to reduce racial tensions is to provide equality for all. Therefore, this paper will examine the adoption, justification and criticisms of Bill
