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.

“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. These important events had an

Some say that Canada is safe and free. Although it may be true today, Canada was not always the nice and peaceful place it is now. Canada’s history demonstrates that the country grew and got stronger. Unfortunately, history also shows that Canada gets violent with other countries and even itself. Canada’s identity in relation to war and peace worsened since 1914. This can be shown by the victory in the Battle of Ortona and the kidnapping that caused the October Crisis. It can also be proven by the injustice during the Oka Crisis.

Reciprocity and free trade are two distinct debates which has occurred at separate periods throughout Canadian history. Both are periods in which the Canadian and U.S. governments attempted to broker a deal which would lower tariff walls and allow good to move smoothly between the countries. Reciprocity occurred in 1911 when the Prime Minister Laurier attempted to implement free trade with the U.S. Free Trade is prominently in terms of the 1980’s in which the government under Brian Mulroney wished to once again implement a free trade deal with the U.S. in 1911 free trade was defeated and the government of Robert Borden won an election on the issue. In 1988 once again an election was held on the issue of free trade, this time it was successful and implemented following the election.

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms first came into effect on April 17, 1982. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is one part of the Canadian Constitution, created in 1867. The Constitution is a set of laws containing the basic rules about how a country operates.

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is an effective tool to ensure and maintain a just society as it protects the innocence of people, protects and ensures past laws and states fundamental freedoms, all of which work to create a thriving society.

In a country, government who plays the role as the sole provider of certain product or service can be defined as government monopoly which is a form of coercive monopoly. Canada is a country that implements monopoly in their market structure. There are several monopolies in Canada such as electricity, water supplies, nuclear companies, and railways.

The first and most important sector is the chief executive whose job it is to make the big decisions and to manage the major operations and resources of the company and finally acting as the main communicating point between board of directors and corporate operations, and then there is a board of trustees that the chief executive rely on to help them with the important decisions.

Today, Canada is seen as a multicultural and peaceful nation that has evolved over the course of history. This great nation would never have been possible without the impact that former Prime Minister, Lester B. Pearson left on this country. His achievements and insights profoundly affected and shaped Canada’s nation. First, peacekeeping is an important part of Canada’s heritage and a reflection of its fundamental beliefs that Pearson implemented after dealing with world changing situations and winning a Nobel Prize. Also, his contributions as a liberal leader as well as the flaws and controversy with Diefenbaker did in fact define this country. Lastly, Pearson created the Canadian identity by unveiling the new flag, bringing equality with

At its foundational core Sir John A MacDonald’s National Policy, was created to assist and continue the growth of the still developing nation of Canada. Following the purchase of Rupert’s Land from the Hudson Bay Company in 1870, the federal government was tasked with vast fertile lands to defend from American encroachment, and in 1878 the conservative government of Sir John A. MacDonald brought to legislation a new National Policy. Which would remain in effect until the 1930’s. Now. close to a century later we can determine that MacDonald’s National Policy, while originally bringing our Nation together. Has over time manifested regional political differences. Through its strategies of; levying high tariffs on manufactured imports, the costs

The 1960’s and 70’s were a time of political turmoil and unrest in Canadian history. The October of 1970 in particular, is a period remembered for its violence and hate. The kidnapping of two Canadian politicians by the Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ), a terrorist group, changed Canadian society forever. The FLQ and the October Crisis ignited separatist feelings in French Canadians, changed the way the government handled national emergencies and altered Canadians’ opinions on key issues. The October Crisis is a truly significant moment in Canadian history for many reasons.

Canada, as one of the wealthiest countries in the world, has a unique economy system which integrated the public and private enterprises with a public to private property ratio of 40:60 indicating a high level of economic freedom in the nation (Sawe, 2017). As a member of The Organization for Economic Co-operation and development and Group of 7, Canada has the 11th largest economy as ranked by the nominal GDP and it ranked at 15th by the purchasing power parity (Sawe, 2017). In Canada, the service industry is dominant in the economy as three quarter of the population are employed in this particular industry (Sawe, 2017). Although the Canada’s economy dominated by the service industry, it is also one of the leading producer of natural resources

In this essay McNeill expressed his great hatred for these Corporations even to go as far as saying “Monopoly is the last full fruit of the present industrial system. It is poisonous, but it is also seedless as it is soulless. It is the antithesis of the trade union. It is and must be a despotism.”(McNeill, 1896) McNeill was one of the very first people to understand the true danger of these trusts, he realized that these companies were just as powerful as the government and how they can bend their will to make anything happen “The monopolists seek to overcome their competitors and make them servitors to their will.” (McNeill, 1896) McNeill was more of a radical speaker then his fellow peers and had this belief that the wealthy were against the poor and were the real leaders of America “the plutocracy and aristocracy of wealth shall commit the final overt act in their conspiracy against liberty.” (McNeill, 1896) The fact that this ideal was in McNeill’s mind just shows the hatred between the two groups. McNeill died in 1906 and his work was greatly appreciated by his

The year 1867 is perhaps Canada’s best known year historically; for it is the year we became a country, independent and free. However, confederation did not begin as an idea in 1867, but rather in the few years prior to 1867. A number of factors, often related, had led people in the 1860’s to believe that the BNA colonies needed to join. These factors, known as the reasons for confederation, are as follows: 1) Political Deadlock 2) The Railway 3) Economic Necessity 4) American Threat 5) Britain’s Attitude and 6) Expanding Westward. This essay will explain each of these reasons and how each had its own influence in our confederation.

As a head of our government, the leader of our nation and the individual that Canadians look to for change and prosperity, the Prime Minister (next to the Governor General of Canada) holds the greatest amount of governing power. Democratic parliamentary systems like the one in Canada, compromise with their general population in order to give the people a voice within government. It is important to understand how the parliamentary system works in order to understand what administrative powers the Prime Minister executes and whether they are effective or not. The presence of a responsible government ensures Canadians that the governing body is an elected assembly instead of having a monarch in power. The Prime Minister, citizens of Canada, as
