Justin Trudeau and the Liberal party is determined to creating more opportunity for the indigenous people, and allowing their voices to be heard more throughout Ottawa. Working towards this, the Liberal party will abolish all changes that deter the indigenous people from exercising their voting rights and to ensure that the indigenous people can freely practice their rights. In addition, the Liberal party will guarantee that the Kelowna Accord agreements will be embraced, along with the spirit of reconciliation which drove the agreements. Cognizant of the fact that there is a massive increase in population and inflammation in the First Nation community, the Liberal party will immediately increase the two percent cap on funding the First Nations, creating a community with a sufficient funding. Furthermore, owing to the underfunding of First Nation education system, many First Nation students are being held back in comparison with their provincial peers.
Pierre Elliott Trudeau Eulogy- From an Oil Magnate in Alberta By Jake Huang September 28, 2000, is day when the man who brought great tragedy and torment to the people of Alberta finally passes away. For those of you who don’t know me, my name is John Smith, one of the oil magnates from Alberta; and this is how I remembered Pierre Trudeau. Pierre Trudeau was a terrible leader who had no respect for individual rights, supported dictators and abused Alberta.
The article also talks about why people were unhappy with Harper. First was feelings against Islam or some people would consider Islamophobia. He wanted to make a ban on the Niqab which is the veil worn by some muslim women. One major issue to Canadians is the rise in muslim immigration (which might be our fault) and the paranoia of terrorism.
Stephen Harper presented this apology to formally recognizes the dark chapter in our history as wrong and that it “has no place in our country.” This apology was long overdue and should have happened earlier since the last residential school closed in 1996. Without an apology, the government recognized that “there has been an impediment to healing and reconciliation” for those who have been impacted by residential schools. With this apology, it acknowledges the fact that residential schools were real and has deeply impacted the lives of Aboriginal people. The apology ended with by mentioning of “the cornerstone of the settlement agreement is the Indian Residential Schools Truth and Reconciliation Commission [TRC].”
There are two main reasons why Justin Trudeau should be the next Prime Minister of Canada. These two reasons are, he plans to keep CBC/Radio Canada, and he is planning on lowering taxes for the middle class. Firstly, Stephen Harper cut millions of funding dollars for the CBC. This is totally unreasonable. CBC is Canada’s CNN, it is known all over the world and for Stephen Harper to continue to reduce its spending towards it is totally unacceptable.
Lester. B.Pearson was renowned as one of Canada 's greatest Prime Ministers. But the successes in his career overshadowed the few, but impactful failures. His title as Nobel peace prize winner and father of Canadian peacekeeping efforts acts as cover for his war motivated failures. From allowing the sale of toxic chemicals to the U.S. and allowing the testing of chemical weapons on canadian soil.
This confirms that Trudeau can make a large commitment and still deliver results, which most politicians do not do. Trudeau essentially won everything he had aimed for all his life (Gwyn). Trudeau set a goal that he wanted to help protect the future for Canadian citizens by creating the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and was able to achieve this phenomenal action that will be forever remembered within Canadian history. By patriating the Constitution and its grounded Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Trudeau had disconnected the last colonial links between Great Britain and
“I am grateful for the opportunities I have been given to participate in that work as a representative of my country, Canada, whose people have, I think, shown their devotion to peace1.” Lester B. Pearson, in office as Prime Minister from 1963 to 1968, was always a person who was determined, compassionate, and fit for what his role was. Though, before becoming Prime Minister of Canada, Pearson served in World War Two, studied at the Universities of Toronto and Oxford, and he joined the Canadian Foreign Service in 1928 and became the every first secretary in the Department of External Affairs. Pearson, born on April 23rd 1897, and died on December 27th 1972, had the most significant impact on Canadian History as he enacted the Canadian Pension
Canada is country that is known for its distinctive features that has helped construct Canadian identity. The nation is acknowledged for its national languages and its diverse communities. However, this could not have been done without the help of past Canadian prime minister’s. A prime minister’s actions are the reflection of the country and its future identity. The day of April 20, 1968 marked the beginning of the change in Canadian history.
Based on the research regarding the Canadian experience towards ideal politicians, they expect their leaders to be pragmatic political fixers and problem solvers (Azzi, 2013). In general, Canadian politics is considered to be quiet, moderate, and progressive. At the appropriate time, Justin Trudeau appeared with this image and won the hearts of Canadian. On his way to the prime minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau got positive public assessment in many opinion surveys.
70% of Canadians claim to have done a favor for their neighbor. Over 50% of Canadians believe that most of their fellow citizens can be trusted (Turcotte). And it’s no surprise because Canada has a certain reputation: it is harmless, void of all the unkindness that has claimed the United States since its creation.
One moment in Canadian history I feel ashamed of is WW2 and people’s rights. From the moment WW2 was declared, The Measures Act was put into effect to take away certain ethnic groups and national groups’ rights. Japanese Canadians were not allowed to vote or serve in the army, their families were separated and sent into internment camps, and their belongings were taken away. Canadians of German and Italian descent were put into prison camps, Enemy Aliens were required to register with the RCMP and report to the police every month, and anyone sympathizing with Nazism, fascists, and communists were arrested. Since the Canadian government treated those groups of people horribly, this is a moment of history that does not represent unity and is
Given the increasing recruitment for terrorist organizations and the genocide occurring in Syria, the question as to how Canada can help is being thoroughly debated. Justin Trudeau came into power with firm beliefs regarding how to best help the Syrian refugee crisis occurring overseas. “He said if elected, the Liberals would bring 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada.” (http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2015/09/05/ndp-and-liberals-call-for-canada-to-accept-more-syrian-refugees.html) Trudeau’s nonmilitary approach demonstrates his absolute desire to do what is best for the refugees in Syria. This being said, the Liberal government has faced significant legal, financial, and social struggles.
Canada is now known to be a diverse, multicultural, bilingual and inclusive nation largely as a result of his work. Pierre Elliott Trudeau also believed in an equal Canada for all, he is primarily the one to introduce rights and freedoms to the citizens of Canada. While some view Pierre Trudeau as impulsive, for enforcing the War Measures Act, Trudeau enacted this for the protection of Canadian citizens against radical extremist and his actions were more rational than impulsive for the situation that had suddenly occurred. Pierre Trudeau was one of Canada’s greatest Prime Minister’s, who’s impact fundamentally changed the course of the nation by introducing multiculturalism, for introducing the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and for paradoxically upholding democracy by strong action during the October Crisis.
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.
