Canada has a come a very long way to being well known nation for many things such as its cold weather, northern geographic location, for its love of hockey, maple syrup, beer, the wild and nature. Ultimately it is known well worldwide for its multiculturalism and safe-haven like environment that attracts many immigrants over. For the nation turning 150, it is a huge deal especially how Canada transitioned through the years and making the nation it is today. For the birthday of the nation, a logo was created to represent the big milestone and many other concepts of Canada historically. One of the concepts was representing the foundation of Canada and how it was created from the first 4 provinces Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. Prior to the logo’s creation for the birthday, there was a contest to seek the logo for the important milestone. It motivated and tested many people to bring out their inner Canadian ego to create the best logo. These people had to be creative and put their knowledge about the history, geography, environment, culture of Canada to the test to fulfill the best logo made for the occasion. …show more content…
The logo is composed of 13 points of the shapes within the design to represent the 13 provinces and territories. There are various colours on the logo that looks like a rainbow which signifies the diversity of Canada’s population and representation of all communities living in Canada such as the LGBT community. The red colour of the logo also signifies Canada’s primary colour that would motivate people to wear as much red as possible for the nation. Many people would also simply view the logo as an ordinary maple leaf in a unique, upgraded, modern design to represent the main primary symbol of
In 1965 Lester Pearson presented Canada 's new flag, in light of the fact that the Red Ensign was excessively British, making it impossible to be the image of advanced Canada. Numerous residents opposed for having another banner both for reasons of tradition and they were persuaded that Pearson was pressured into it and didn 't really need another banner. English Canadians needed to keep the Red Ensign yet on February 15, 1965, when Canada 's new banner was raised on Parliament Hill surprisingly, all that they were loaded with, was pride and affection. Pearson and the French Canadian needed another banner yet Diefenbaker and the Conservatives needed to keep the Red Ensign to demonstrate a tiny bit of British representation. So the Liberals
It was supposed to symbolize how they would win, but they were losing. It was believed to be the arrogance of Jacques Parizeau they were losing. Luckily, the reigns were given to Bouchard, someone more influential, who had almost made Quebec win the
The way that the authors used logos was the fact that both are all about the facts. A lot of the article talks about straight facts and how things happened throughout the era of the Holocaust. They talk about how rules were written to keep the children safe and how to do so without people questioning them. An exact number of how many kids were saved is not known. Other facts that do a good job and support their claim can catch the reader’s eye.
The flag represents the shared beliefs and values of all Canadians. Canadian’s are proud to be who they are: “[The Canadian Flag] will say proudly to the world and to the future ‘I stand for Canada’” (Archbold n.pag). This statement was Pearson’s goal, which in the end, he was able to successfully achieve. Canadians have a very unique sense of pride that is shown through their flag.
The present Canadian flag was officially adopted on February 15, 1965, after years of discussions, inquiries, and design submissions. The simplicity, originality, and powerful representation of Canadian identity in the design by George F. G. Stanley and John Matheson led to its selection. To summarize, the Canadian flag controversy had a lasting impact on Canadain politics. It gave Canadians an opportunity to rethink their sense of nationality and declare their independence from the British Empire.

Below the image there is a text box that says that MacDonald is full of mischief. The text box is coming from the woman in the picture.

Oh, for the love of... hockey! It may seem sterotypical in suggestion; but perhaps Hockey is one of the most distinctively Canadian thing in the world; well, that and maple syrup. Hockey as a sport may not be the favourite of every single Canadian, but it does carry some heavy weight as a part of Canadian culture; it was created by Canadians after all. In the Canadian box office hit, Bon Cop, Bad Cop, we see the lengths to which a fanatic (in this case psycopathic) will go, had the sport of hockey (as Canadians came to know it) would be been taken away from Canada.
The fresh air of the outdoors is a great stress reliever and Canadians have more access to this nature than anyone else. Lastly, many aspects of Canada’s wildlife are important cultural icons.

President John F. Kennedy expresses his disapproval towards America’s steel industries in his speech on April 10, 1962. Although Kennedy is a Harvard graduate whose bank account could handle the increase, he takes a stand with the American people who were just the opposite of him. He rallies these people through his use of rhetorical strategies such as logos, pathos, and anaphoras. Every part of Kennedy’s speech uses logos in some form. Whether he is giving facts, quoting other members of the government or simply tugging on pure logic, Kennedy uses this to gain their trust.
The Red Couch Tour has a strong influence on Canadians and conveys a clear message through these different stories. The main artifact is a red couch with the Canada’s 150 maple leaf logo; and the location of the red couch placement is close to the ‘empty space’ of Canada. The secondary artifact is the invited Canadians who story tell about Canada’s past time and identities. The meaning of the artifact is more than what meets the eyes; this event develops on the theme of unification, storytelling and cultural nationalism. These theme is described from this quote, “Instead of going to peoples’ living rooms, we’re taking it to them.
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character”. Several great documents are filled with methods of persuasion in order to effectively persuade the audience, one being the Letter From Birmingham Jail as well as The Truly Awe-Inspiring Accomplishments of Martin Luther King Jr. In the Letter From Birmingham Jail, King supports his view that the civil rights movement is necessary by using strategic organization to overthrow opposing arguments. He also engages the audience by captivating them emotionally, allowing him to have a better chance of getting them on his side.
Tim Horton, a defenseman for the Toronto Maple Leafs, was involved in a fatal car accident one night, while driving along the Queen Elizabeth Way. Embodying traits such as “humble in origins, large in talent, strong in body, and gentle in demeanor”, Tim Horton was considered the ideal Canadian (). Tim Horton is not widely remembered for his time playing in the National Hockey League, however. Instead, he is remembered for his donut franchise.
