Pierre Elliott Trudeau: Liberal Party Leader

The Canada Act served to give Canada, and its populace, the greatest amount of independence and freedom that it has ever experienced, politically, culturally, and legally. First, the Canada Act made it so that any law enacted in the United Kingdom from there on out would not automatically be enacted in Canada. The specific quote from the

On the 19995 referendum, the result was neck-and-neck, with 50.58% voting for Quebec to stay in Canada, and 49.42% for Quebec to separate (Gall). On June of 2000, the Clarity Act was passed (Douglas 21), seriously impending chances for Quebec to become and independent country. Today, the current leader, Fortin Rhéal, and the Bloc Quebecois works hard to create a better future for Quebec and Quebeckers. The Bloc Quebecois is the party that would bring a bright future for Quebec due to its excellent

An important figure in peacekeeping of Canada was Lester B. Pearson, a Canadian prime minister who reigned from 1963 to 1968. Although the concept of peacekeeping was evident before Lester B. Pearson, it was him who promoted for United Nations to establish an official peacekeeping force during the Suez crisis. He stated, “We need action not only to end the fighting but to make the peace... My own government would be glad to recommend Canadian participation in such

There is plenty of blame to go around, but blame is counterproductive to the accuracy of history. No one wants to be the “bad guy,” so an environment free of judgement is important for recording experiences as accurately as possible. It is through this that we can create a more detailed account of what happened. Residential Schools are necessary to Canadian history. The indigenous people were Canadians long before it was colonized by European powers.

When it came around to the next election, he made it clear that he would use warheads if they were necessary. Six years later, the Liberals won the election with Pearson becoming Prime Minister which he won with a minority

The battle at Vimy Ridge was a defining moment in Canadian History because it gave Canada a sense of nationhood “The Battle of Vimy Ridge marked ‘the birth of a nation’ for Canada, says Governor-General David Johnston” (Postmedia news). It was the first time all four Canadian Corps fought together in the history of the war. The victory of ‘taking Vimy Ridge’ was celebrated, and two months later Viscount Julian Byng was promoted out of the Corps and Arthur Currie became the first commander of the Corps. The 60’000 casualties in the war, made Vimy the most symbolic of Canada’s overall sacrifices. This pushed Prime Minister Borden to ensure a separate representation at the Paris Peace Talks after the war.

John A. MacDonald and Alexander Mackenzie were both Prime minister of Canada who sought to do the best for their country. Due to them being in opposite political parties, they both had different policies that they wanted to imply on Canada. McDonald 's policies were, the National Policy, the creation of the Canadian Pacific railway, slowing down the development of the Supreme court and the Royal military college. While Mackenzie 's policy was to increase free trade with the US, make Canada more independent, and cancels the building of the railway. Nevertheless, MacDonald was the one who I believe benefitted Canada 's future.. With MacDonald ordering the construction of the Canadian Pacific Railway throughout all of Canada.

Based on the provided commercials, Canadians are proud citizens. Each commercial has it’s own specific theme but every commercial related to this idea of being proud. In order, I watched all of the commercials and the “I Am Canadian” commercial set the tone and expectations that I had for the following three. The “I Am Canadian” commercial is set up like a public speech, which gives the audience a general idea of how the rest of the commercial is going to be presented. In “I Am Canadian” commercial, the narrator starts off with the stereotypes of how Canadians are often proceed to be or how American’s view Canada.

Before the Constitution, Canada was not entirely an independent country. This is because Britain had the power to change and adjust the constitution whenever they wanted. This meant to become independent, they had to patriate the constitution from Britain. It originally was called the British North American Act however due to the adjustment of the act the name changed. Canada had many problems that needed fixing and their independency is what let them add and adjust the rules to make Canada a better place for all people.

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is located in the first part of the Canadian Constitution and came into effect on April 17, 1982. The Charter is a document that outlines a set of constitutional principles that assist in creating a free and democratic country and is the most important of the laws in Canada. Some of the laws include: Fundamental freedoms (e.g. freedom of expression); democratic rights (e.g. the right to vote); mobility rights (e.g.

As Canadians, our country has written The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It contains rights and freedoms that our country believe is necessary to live freely. Not only do many Canadians excel at hockey, but their achievements in sports (such as winning the 2014 Men’s Olympic hockey game), adds

He loved and took amazing care of his mother and even after her death continued to respect what she would have wanted. He also strived to be like his maternal grandfather who had served as a Canadian leader in the Upper Canada Rebellion, and as the first mayor of Toronto. This, along with his parents constantly encouraged him to get into law and politics, led to him eventually taking office and for that we can all be grateful. King truly was an honourable, valiant, and innovative leader. Both in his public and private life.

Lord Durham was a man with liberal beliefs who was sent to Canada to study the affairs of British North America. He was given the task of writing a report, which would give suggestions on how to solve the problems Britain was facing with its colony. His report shook the systems already in place and changed Canada forever. To some he is a hero, but to others he is very much disliked. Nonetheless, Lord Durham’s report directly led to the colonies of Upper and Lower Canada being united.

Another steps to become an independent country Britain being the Empire of Canada, England had significant amount of control over Canada’s external affairs. When Halibut Treaty was signed between Canada and America, Canada just took another step towards its independence of England and being its own country and not a dominion. The Halibut Treaty was signed on 2 March, 1923 between Canada and America. This treaty was a huge step for Canada, as it basically meant that Canada would trade with United States more often. This treaty was mainly created because of concerns in fishing rights in the Pacific Ocean.

The constitution is the highest level of authority in Canada, every branch of the government is compelled to follow it; the judicial system is inclined to enforce it, the executive has to obey it, and only the government can approve its amendment- on varying levels dependant on the areas being amended. As times change so does the relevancy of articles within the constitution. I argue that the government should not be responsible alone in approving such changes. Since Canada is systematically run under the constitution, and is a democratically run Responsible Government, appropriate decision-making about its amendments should be carried out by the people through national referendum. The British North American Act of was established in 1867
