136 Words1 Page

In the duration of WW1 and WW2, French speaking Canadians were against being conscripted because they felt that there was no point in Canada fighting European wars. Whereas English speaking Canadians supported conscription, mostly to help out Britain in the battles. There was a choice here to either side with the English and conscript people or to side with the French and not go through with it. Canada went through with conscription. This proved to French Canadians that the Canadian government would support the English population whenever there was any form of a debate.(Legare, 2017, 1). For this reason Quebec wants to separate from Canada. If they are politically separated they will have the power to make their own laws on whether on not

    The province of Quebec had wanted to separate from Canada for a decent amount of time. The thoughts of separation came in the late 1950’s and 1960’s, but was in full effect in the late 1960’s to the 1970’s, mostly due to the creation of the Parti Quebecois, created in 1968. It had become popular due to the party’s leader being René Lévesque, who was not only popular but influential too. In Canada, their urge to separate grew larger, for there were two moments in time, where they wanted to separate. In order for the province to separate, they had to have a referendum.

  • Why Is Quebecois Seeking Separation Or A Distinct Society?

    331 Words  | 2 Pages

    The next thing to consider on Quebec referendum is whether or not the Quebecois are seeking separation or a special recognition as a ‘distinct society’. John C. Parkin’s quote, “The problem for a lot of people is that they don't really know what they want…” best describes the situation the Quebecois are in. In the past two referendums, Quebec emphasized on sovereignty-association and the acceptance of a unique society. During the second referendum, the separatists nearly seceded but was denied by a slight majority of 50.58 percent. According to an article from the Vancouver Sun, many Quebecers seek independence for reasons that are unrelated to economics and the cost of separating.

    W.L. Mackenzie King’s decision to conscript soldiers during WWII is necessary and justified. The poster 's message is to simply convince Canadian citizens to agree that conscription is necessary for the Allies to win the war. The propaganda poster is targeted towards Canadian citizens but mainly young males and French Canadians living in Quebec. It is important to target French Canadians to agree with conscription because majority of French Canadians voted “no” and are against conscripting soldiers for the reason that they feel excluded and not connected to the war. Whereas, English Canadians feel nationalism causing them to agree with conscription and vote “yes”.

Many men were dying in the war and that must have discouraged other men in Canada from signing up.

    When thinking about purchasing food we are often told that buying local is better for the community as it puts the money in the pocket of a small business owner and not for a corporation's CEO to purchase their third vacation home. But, often what we don't look at is the other things we purchase like clothing, cars, beauty products and day-to-day items. It is very common that many household products are made in China, as it is a lot cheaper to manufacture things there and send them to our local Walmart or retail store for Canadians to consume. I wanted to see how many things in my day-to-day life are produced outside of Canada and what I buy that is produced in Canada.
