Canadians, used to seeing leadership of technology in the hands of the United States and Britain, were suddenly aware that they had something that looked like the best in the world. 15:15
This quote stood out to me during the documentary, because of Canada 's recognition of their countrys ' limitations. Canada, because of their size and economic restrictions, relies heavily on countries such as the United States. The United States provide opportunity and finacial aid to Canadians as a whole. For example, many of the people who worked on the plane in Canada have gone on to the United States to do great things. It is unfortunate that Canada does not have the funds for technological advances, because they have the brains for it. However, Candians go to the US for innovation and to show their brilliancy. On the contrary, the United States depends on Canada as well, such as being dependent on Canadas 'real estate many years ago.

The conclusion of production left many of Canadians to fend for themselves, while the United States thrived with technology and innovation. In my opinion, it would be eye-opening for the Canadians to see their masterpeice not being able to soar in Canada, as it would somewhere else. It is eye-opening for Canada 's political and economic state to see them coming so far as a country, in an innovation that could have greatly surpassed anything in its time, not be possible. This was a realization that it is difficult for a "country the size of Canada to compete in the business of building costly weapons of war." And even to this day, it is hard for Canadians not to blame the United States for the destruction of the Arrow. Even though there is no proof or indication of this, it is inevitble to not wonder if the United States had any impact of persuasion in the production of the
Source III portrays that Canadian nationalism was created by the victory of the Battle of Vimy Ridge and how the battle unified and strengthened Canada as a nation. The source embraces civic nationalism and illustrates how a strong sense of patriotism for one’s country can be founded and can further inspire and establish nationalism. For example, the Canadian soldiers that fought at Vimy Ridge were patriotic and fought for Canada, and the results and rewards of the battle were significant to the war. At the time, German leaders and soldiers that fought at Vimy Ridge would disagree with the source, as they believed the Battle of Vimy Ridge did not considerably influence the outcome of the war. They would argue that although the location and
During his time, Canada was going into a recession, and to make situations worse, he started wasting money. Diefenbaker cancelled the expensive Avro Arrow project claiming that it was not worth the money because no one wanted to buy it. However, by the time the Arrow project was done, the U.S sent the first man-made object into orbit attracting many people’s attention. Thus, the project’s unpopularity was probably because of its bad timing, and by time, it could have become more sellable. The cancellation not only devastated a Canadian future-promising company, but it also left many people unemployed and reduced production.
When Canada was created the Halifax explosion, Vimy ridge and the battle of the Somme were all significant events in Canadian history that played important roles in Canada's development and growth. It also carried on the legacy of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, one of Canada's most influential prime ministers. These crucial events played a vital role in shaping both Laurier’s leadership and Canada’s national identity as a whole. They all had their fair share of importance towards Canada showcasing their bravery, sacrifice and resilience during world war 1.
What makes Canada impressive is the government, which provides its citizens with a safety net. For example Unemployment Insurance, pensions,etc. And Canadians are provided with universal health care (introduced by Tommy Douglas) which is funded by the people through taxes. This allows citizens to feel secure and not worry about being unable to take care themselves and their families; unlike a capitalist society which will deny you health care if you cannot afford it. In Canada they have what a capitalist society has, for example private property, supply and demand,competition but what contrasts these two economic system is that Canada has a safety net so citizens can have something to rely on in times of crisis.
Those who don’t live or have ever been may think that Canada is a country that is not diverse maybe even monocultural, that Canada is flat full of only farmland and rural towns, that we live lives fueled by hockey and that is all that Canada is. In reality every Canadian knows it is much more it is diverse, scenic and urban. In the essay “My Canada” by Anita Rau Badami she said this about Canada “the country had been doing a slow dance for me over the nine years that I had lived here, showing me tantalizing little bits of itself every now and then.” The quote by Badami says that Canada has little charms spread throughout the country, such as the vastness and natural beauty of Lake Louise and all National Parks. Festivals in Edmonton which displays Canadian culture and a variety of other cultures from around the earth.
Canadian/American relations have always been much like that of a brother and his younger sister. They are dependent on one another, and their bond is built off of friendship and trust. When battles occur, they ride in together, and when one is in need, support is given. In 1917, the Halifax Explosion devastated a section of Nova Scotia, and the size of the accident destroyed a large amount of both people and homes. The medicinal and reparation costs were more than the surrounding cities could afford.
Canada and the U.S. have many similarities but just as many differences and vastly different economies, at least for the current moment. If we do switch to a market economy good and bad things may happen. I’m going to show what is good about an economy with government intervention while showing the downsides as well. That is the benefits of having a mixed economy and its disadvantages as well. After that, I’ll give my opinion of what might be the best option and why.
During WWII, Canada played a crucial role in the Battle of the Atlantic and the air war over Germany. They contributed troops to the allied forces and punched far above their weight for a small nation of then only 11 million people. Because of Canada’s oversized role in the War, it established itself as a middle power. This position helped define Canada in a number of ways, primarily being one of the first non-great powers to help build the United Nations. It earned respect from other countries and with The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
The immigration issues facing Vancouver and Montreal are more similar than they seem. Despite the obvious differences in location and ethnic groups, the two problems are comparable to each other. In Vancouver, they face issues of Asian immigration, more specifically, Hong Kong. The clash of ideals and culture lend themselves to a struggle between native Canadians and Asian immigrants. When immigrants from Hong Kong come to Canada, they bring with them a specific set of ideals, backed with money to simulate the economy.
It does not claim that Canadians have been born with a special democracy gene. Nor does it pander to a self-centred concern to be noticed and thanked on the international stage. What it does do is assert a particular political value—one that is common to several members of contemporary international society—and claim that Canada should reflect and advance that value in its foreign relations. In voicing such a justification, Canada would be communicating that it, too, has something to say about liberal values and that the Bush administration does not have the monopoly on the strategies for extending the global reach of those
Controversy Surrounding the Keystone XL Pipeline To build or not to build, this choice will impact the relationship between the US and Canada and determine the level of dependence the US will have on countries that are not so friendly. “TransCanada’s proposed Keystone XL Pipeline would transport oil sands crude from Canada and shale oil produced in North Dakota and Montana to a market hub in Nebraska for delivery to Gulf Coast refineries. The pipeline would consist of 875 miles of 36-inch pipe with the capacity to transport 830,000 barrels per day” (Parfomak, Pirog, Luther and Vann 4). The construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline would strengthen the United States economy, provide energy security and have minimal environmental impact. “The Keystone XL project would create $1.1 trillion in private capital investment at no
Over the years Canada has changed in many ways, some changes were positive, and some were negative. Internet technology has played a huge role in Canada today. Before Canada had internet technology society lived very differently, there was no google, no cell phones, or any smart technology readily available for the public. Society had to write letters to communicate and use data cards and libraries to find information. In the earlier days of internet, internet was strictly used for the military in the US.
Canada has a diverse and well-developed economy with numerous industries operating in the country. The country is rich in natural resources, such as oil, gas, minerals, and timber, and is also home to many world-renowned companies in various sectors. Here are some of the major industries in Canada: Agriculture and Agri-Food Industry: Agriculture is a significant industry in Canada, contributing billions of dollars to the country's economy.
As a country Canada’s strengths included, gaining autonomy through persevering and showing just how mature and ready Canadians were to be in charge of their own army; and be recognized as a separate country from Britain. Another one of Canada’s strengths was how calmly autonomy was achieved after the war. Canada did not need to make a fuss about becoming their own country because it was obvious that they were already ready for that. Their proof was presented in how they planned and executed their battles, and fought alongside Britain to successfully defeat
Problem-solving skills are necessary in order to address problems because they allow you to analyze problems effectively and create viable implementation strategies for the best possible solutions. Problem-solving skills also help a manager to focus in on the cause of the problem instead of focusing on the symptoms of the problem. Background of the Organizational Challenge In a previous organization that I worked for the financial aid department was overrun with the task of manually processing requests for federal financial aid as well as non-federal financial aid. At the time the department employed six financial aid administrators who processed approximately 1 to 200 files per day.
