For a long time, political parties have shaped how people assess governmental affairs and how they organize themselves in society. Generally, political parties seek to resemble the political ideologies on which they are based to provide people with a universal worldview and philosophical stance from which to approach reality (Breaugh, Jan 18). Yet, is it true that political parties always, and in all cases, accurately reflect the political ideologies on which they are based? In this paper, I will
Liberal Party of Canada The Liberal Party of Canada and Justin Trudeau lead a fascinating campaign which advocated for “real change” and brought them from 3rd place to a shocking majority government on election day. The majority was unpredicted by the polls which is another interesting aspect of this election. Closer to election day, the Liberals were leading the polls, however none of them anticipated a majority government. This may be attributed to the Liberal Party’s extensive use of social media
future plans are for this great country. Also, what he would like to change as the PM of Canada. It also talks about many aspects of his life from growing up in Ottawa when his father was the PM of Canada up until him joining the liberal party. This review will mainly focus on the issues Justin Trudeau mentions in his book that he feels strongly towards as a Canadian and as a leader of liberal party of Canada. Being born in a spotlight he talks about his good times and bad throughout the book.
Laurier; he has a governing mind; he wants to do things; he has plans. He will walk the great way of life with anyone of good intention who will join him.” - J. Israel Tarte to John Dafoe, July 1896. Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the 7th Prime Minister of Canada is who I have chosen to do my study on. I have picked this because of my French ancestry and I would like to learn more about the influence he has had on the Canadian lifestyle. With this study I hope to learn what made him a good enough prime minister
act, 1926 Balfour Report,1926 Byng Crisis etc. The Manitoba’s general election,was not just an election it was one of the first to introduce different political parties, other than the liberals and Conservatives. Sir Arthur Meighan was a lawyer,businessman & the Prime Minister of Canada. Arthur Meighan was the leader of the conservative party.

The Conservative party led by Stephen Harper has been in power for the last nine years. It is time for a real change so, I would vote for the Liberals. The Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau has promised to better the lives of the middle class families, reform our immigration system and will involved in climate to the benefit of all Canadians. Under the liberals, the present 22% tax rate for annual income between 44,701 and 89,401 will be cut down to 20.5%. A new tax bracket f 33% will be imposed
game plan for Canada. I didn't have exact grounds or a rationality of some sort for this reason, except for the lone fact that I simply had this strong feeling and intuition that Mr. Trudeau’s position and take on many political issues seemed to coincide with my personal beliefs and values, and for that purpose I should be in favour of his party. Therefore, to be very forthright, I am extremely pleased by the rest of Canada’s concurring decision to mine on electing the Liberal party in this 2015 federal

Canadian election taking place and the Liberal Party taking over, Justin Treadeu and his cabinet can focus on a promise that should have been dealt with by the previous government. The campaign promise consists of taking control over the high levels of violence against Aboriginal women and girls (Meghan Rhoad, 2015, para. 1). Meghan Rhoad’s, author of Keeping a Promise to Canada’s Indigenous Women and Girls, claims that (2015), “indigenous women and girls in Canada are murdered at almost four times the
Researching about the platforms of the four major parties of Canada during this 2015 election has given me an in depth view of what these parties are all about. From the future of our economy to the fight on the niqab, this election has a wide breadth of topics to consider. I, myself have different opinions on these topics. The party I most agree with is the Liberal party of Canada lead by Justin Trudeau. This party has great ideas in issues I am very passionate about. First of all, Mr. Trudeau
Justin Trudeau, the Twenty Third (23rd) Prime Minister of Canada Comes from a lineage of great leaders, whether it be in business or otherwise, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Grandfather Charles-Emile Trudeau was a successful French-Canadian businessman, His Father Pierre Trudeau was the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada before becoming the fifteenth (15th) prime Minister of Canada from 1968-1979 and 1980-1984.

MacDonald brought to legislation a new National Policy. Which would remain in effect until the 1930’s. Now. close to a century
Question #3 I have chosen to represent the Liberal Party of Canada, as I feel that we share similar perspectives on important issues. We believe that after having Stephen Harper as PM for more than nine years, our immigration system has been greatly damaged. Stephen Harper was responsible for canceling family sponsorship applications for more than two years, and when the applications were finally allowed to be accepted, the rules were made extremely strict. This means that hardworking Canadians
Thomas Clement “Tommy” Douglas (20 October 1904 – 24 February 1986) known as “The Father of Medicare”, had done extraordinary work to make Canada a unique country.

Canada has come a long way. From becoming an independent nation to participating in the first and second World Wars, Canada has lost a lot but gained even more. Many of the Canadians have grown from the history of their past and others made history. Lester Pearson was one of those individuals who left behind a positive legacy. Pearson was the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada and the most notable Prime Minister of Canada from 1963 to 1968. He believed in giving Canada its own identity and giving
iconic leaders of Canada who brought forth a new verve of energy in the country. It was his charismatic personality coupled with revolutionary ideas and beliefs that helped him climb up the ladder to serve the most prestigious and responsible chair of the country. Pierre Trudeau was born on October 18, 1919 in Montréal, Quebec. His terms of office were from April 20, 1968 to June 3, 1979 as well as March 3, 1980 to June 30, 1984.

Minister of Canada from 1968-1979 and again from 1980-1984. Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau had a negative impact on Canada during his time as Prime Minister of Canada during the twentieth century. First, it took the succeeding Prime Ministers 30 years to fiscally restore the country from when Trudeau almost made the country go bankrupt, nearly splitting the country in the process.
