In this model, individuals can express a degree of individuality and it celebrates people’s differences (e.g. religion, culture, ethnicity) and this model allows community of people to exchange ideas and perspectives of the world.

This then become essential to any possible citizens because it is a demonstration of Canada’s acceptance, which is comforting for newcomers planning on becoming a Canadian citizen – they will not feel shunned or a loss of culture when becoming a Canadian citizen. As stated by MacPherson (2007), in The Value of Multiculturalism, “Multiculturalism may be the antidote for the inappropriate and destructive behavior…” This then makes Canada appear to be a safe and secure country that is free from

In the research of both humanitarian and social sciences, narrative criminology emerged nearly a decade after most other fields had adopted the concept of narrative identity into their research and social perspective. The examination of society and identity in the perpetuation and changes in our social moral codes that define deviance, and by extension, crime through determining normalcy.

Louis Riel was a driving force throughout his entire life. He was a traitor to some, a hero to more, and a leader to all. The father of Manitoba’s actions influence Canada even today, through the Métis he so loved and the government he so radically opposed.

Trudeau wanted this charter to protect individual rights by preventing laws that unfairly discriminate or that belittle the essential human rights. It states that every Canadian receives the rights and freedoms which no government can expel regardless of race, gender or religion. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms that Trudeau wanted for the people of Canada was finally passed on April 17, 1982. Trudeau pledged to bring home a new constitution with charter of rights (Sauerwein).
