Canad A Melting Pot Of Cultures And Natural Beauty

In 1920 one of the biggest life saving inventions was created. Out of the University of Toronto Dr. Fredrick Banting and Charles Best were able to create a pancreatic extract that was successfully tested on a dog. Prof. J. J. R. MacLeod who provided the lad and the scientific direction to Best & Banting soon put his entire research team to work on purifying insulin. The first test was done on a man named Leonard Thompson in early 1922. It was a great success. The discovery of insulin, although not a cure, saves millions of diabetics a year and was the biggest medical invention of the 1920’s. (Discovery Of Insulin)

Canada is a country, proud of its culture and heritage. Canada is a country in North America alongside the United States and Mexico, boarded by the Arctic, Atlantic, and Pacific oceans. Particularly Canada is a multicultural, diverse country with two national languages consisting of French, as well as English. Although the language is diverse it is not the only element that changes across the country. In addition, Canada consists of just under ten million kilometers squared of land, which is the second largest landmass in the world. Likewise, Canada has everything from flat grass to beautiful mountains, sparse hills to large valleys with mesmerizing beauty. Something to consider about Canada and its success is the aspects of Canadian society, and what is contributing to the overall well-being of all Canadian citizens making Canada a great country to live in.

Extending from the Atlantic in the east, to the Pacific in the west and northward into the Arctic Ocean, Canada is one of the most prosperous nations on Earth. This prosperity is represented by the voice that every citizen possesses thanks to the forefathers of Canada and the guaranteed rights and opportunities that the people of Canada rely on. As a nation, the pride, opportunity and freedom is not all Canada has to offer. Further, the natural beauty of Canada’s vast and beautiful lands come from various environments such as the Rocky Mountains, the tundra in the Arctic, and the farmland in the prairie's. In the great white North, having access to a universal healthcare system, celebrating cultural diversity of the people and the

As time goes on, some countries become more relevant in the global sphere while others start to fade away. Canada is a country that only becomes more relevant as time goes on. Since being granted full sovereignty, Canada has had a growing role as a major world player. Much of their international growth has to do with its close ties to the United States and the United Kingdom. However, the country has also undergone huge change and refocusing on a domestic level. With influence from both Europe and the United States, Canada has a very unique system of governing. This paper will focus on a few major areas of Canada. It will look into the history of Canada, the structure of its government, its politics, and many of the major issues it faces today.

Canada was no longer seen as a colony of Great Britain but as a country. In Canada’s past, one battle brought Canada together as a nation and that battle is ww1’s Vimy Ridge. This battle shows how a group of men and one leader with the state of mind that thought the lives of his men are worth more than endless bullets. This created the greatest victory in Canadian history.

More than 100 years ago Canada was a small child, progressing through life trying to find her place in this vast world. During the time periods of 1914-1945, 1950-1970, and 1971- 1990, there have been many factors that have helped induce her independence, including recognition due to military achievements, her international relationship with the United States, and uniting as one country. Through these times of hardship and glory Canada has succeeded in finding her autonomous identity in the world, as a middle power.

Canada is similar to the United States was established as a colonial settler state by European colonial powers. France and England fought over the land for many years and in 1759 the British finally won in the battle of the Plains of Abraham (Quebec City).

When taking the time to review the early beginnings of Canadian history through the events that would go onto lead to confederation, it is possible to realize the intent that is found in regards to the founding of the country from being a collection of colonies for the British Empire. This all in all establishes and investigation to the economic, social, political, and environmental events/ideas to go on to understand the nature of the formation of Canada, as well as the influences that would go on to the development of the national identity.

Since the time Canada fought in World War I back in 1914, several events, moments and people have made an impact into the nation called Canada that we live in today. Some of these monumental events are Canada’s role to end World War I, introducing health care plans, the first coin is struck at the new Royal Mint building in Ottawa, ending years of importing Canadian currency from England, and the approval of a new Canadian flag. There are so many events that have defined Canadian history of which a few will be discussed in this paper.

From the years of 1945-2000, Canada changed and developed as a country. These changes had both negative and positive effects, and were quite controversial. With a global crisis at hand, Canada found itself involved in international conflicts like they’ve never experienced before. Meanwhile, Canada was also dogged with internal issues, which were both political and economic, as it changed society. Canada was faced with problems of immigration, multiculturalism, Quebec separatism, as well as regionalism. This made Canada’s society change drastically. With Canada’s changes came the development of Canada’s national identity. Canadians began to view their country differently, and Canada’s identity took ahold of a new meaning.

Many Canadians’ lives have developed and revolved around the inventions introduced in the 20th century. It was a century in which the ideas and plans of scientists came into the lives of many Canadians. Cultural and artistic accomplishments flourished, fed by the invention of radio broadcasting. Many diabetic lives were saved and is gradually being saved today because of the efforts of Dr. Frederick Banting and Charles Best. Automobiles created a new demand for more jobs and invented the production of infrastructure.

When looking at the role of regionalism in forming Canada’s national identity, it plays an important role in the formation of Canada’s architectural and written history. For example, from coast to coast, the architecture of each region varies widely from each other, which exhibits how each landscape has shaped the way that region was formed (Thorsteinson, 2016). Additionally, regionalism is seen as a strategy used to define being Canadian, and in the words of Northrop Frye, “the question of Canadian identity… is not a ‘Canadian’ question at all, but a regional question” (Thorsteinson, 2016). Another role of regional identity in the formation of Canada is the symbolism of the Canadian flag, which presents a leaf from a maple tree as the national symbol of Canada (Dirks, 2017). Also, companies such as roots uses parts of Canadas landscape to present their products, such as beavers and landmarks like the Hudson’s Bay. However, Canada is also seen as having an identity crisis, and the differences encompassed within each region in Canada makes it difficult to be wholly inclusive when it comes to presenting Canada’s national identity (Dirks, Class 10, 2017). And yet, there seems to be several solid statements when it comes to portraying Canada’s identity through regionalism, such as Canada’s symbiotic relationship with nature as a whole. Subsequently, regionalism has emphasized Canada’s national identity as a landscape and region oriented nation, in comparison to the modern

What is Canada? What is a Canadian? Canada, to employ Voltaire's analogy, is nothing but “a few acres of snow.”. Of course, the philosopher spoke of New France, when he made that analogy. More recently, a former Prime Minister, Joe Clark, said that the country was nothing but a “community of communities”. Both these images have helped us, in one way or another, try to interpret what could define this country. On the other hand, a Canadian could be a beer, a hockey-playing beaver or even a canoe floating in a summer day's sunset. A Canadian could also be a “sovereigntyphobe”, refusing to see the liquefaction, albeit political, of the second largest country in the world.

Canada is one of two countries located in North America and is the second largest country in the world. It is situated just north of the United States and constitutes the northern part of the country, excluding Alaska. Over the years Canada's culture has been influenced by European culture and traditions, mainly that of the French and British. Canadian culture has also been influenced by the countries' first people, the Aboriginals, as well as the newer immigrated population (Wikipedia, 2007). Canada consists of ten provinces and three northern territories, almost all of which are "rich in land and natural resources" (Bailey, par. 2). Canada is often referred to as a mosaic community because there is such a wide variety
