Canada 150 Speech

Canada was rushed into Confederation way too soon and has had problems due to this. Although through these past hundred fifty years, Canada has survived and is still going strong. Confederation started on July 1st, 1867 when three British Colonies came together to become four provinces. Although Canada went through Confederation, it is not a confederate association; it is a federal state which is not the supposed meaning of Confederation. Canada has evolved majorly since Confederation back in 1867.

This act occurred on July 1st, 1867 the law The British North America Act is important in Canadian history because it is the 1867 Act which officially created the new country of Canada by joining together the four provinces of Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia legal in Confederation. This legislation, passed by the British Parliament, created Canada as a new making it its own today. Therefore Canada is an independent country that must not listen to anyone but themselves.

As Canada became progressively independent, as a country we went through certain events which defined us as who the majority of us are. These events, whether positive or negative have made a lasting impact on our country. Consider when the FLQ became an issue, leading into the October Crisis, the War Measures Act (temporarily) as well as the Canadian Charter Rights of Freedoms being put into place. An example of an overall, mostly positive impact was Terry Fox with the “Marathon of Hope” which he came close to completing before he unfortunately passed away.

On July 1st of 1867, Ontario became of the founding members of the dominion of Canada, when it joined with Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Quebec in confederation. This created the province of Canada, from the merging of Upper Canada (Ontario), and Lower Canada, (Quebec).

Government: Ontario has a different type of government than us. To start that they have a different “headquarters” than us. Their ‘headquarters’ is in Toronto. As if ours is in Washington, D.C, as we all know is in the white house. They started their government in 1867 or before. We started ours in 1776-1789. 1789 was when the USA came together as an independent country. That is when we started creating a new constitution, and establishing its national government. In order to start their traditional rights, American Patriots took control of the colonies and started a war for independence.

Welcome good friend to the brand new state of New Canada! What once was a corrupt country north of the center of the world (U.S.) is now the 55th state to the American Empire. The year is 2050, and almost five years since the ending of the Third World War. Five years post war and civilization is still in a state of recovery, which is why we bring Americans a piece of the past and a bit of familiarity with the grand opening of New Canada’s capitol building. We do this to honor the fallen and help Canadians assimilate into American Culture.

By not being influenced or controlled by any other power comes independence, what creates pride, strength and eventually a nation. Canada’s independence from the British Empire was created on July 1st, 1867 but it wasn't until future pivotal events that proved Canada's independence as a country, These significant events and acts that created Canada's coming of age were the battle of Vimy Ridge during WW1 that was successful single handedly by the Canadians, Operation Overlord, where Canadian troops proved the most successful in taking control across D-day, and Canada being seated in the League Of Nations and later the United Nations, proving itself to not only be equal but well respected by many nations.

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.

More than 100 years ago Canada had been a small child, progressing through life trying to find its 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 its growth including: recognition due to military achievements, its international relationship with the United States, and uniting as one country. Through these times of hardship and glory Canada has succeeded in finding its autonomous identity in the world, as a “middle power”.

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.

100 years ago today, the votes came in for the Charlottetown Accord with 54.4% of Canadians voting against it. This was yet another failed attempt to please Quebec, but it only made things worse. With tensions remaining high between the French and English Canadians, there is still no news of a third attempt, fearing that history will repeat itself. Canada can’t afford another failure; many think that it will push Quebec off the edge of become independent. Even though there are a lot of Canadians who can’t forget the past of Quebec, there are also many who don’t understand why this day is so significant. In order to explain that, we need to go back in time to the late 1900s. One of the key points in Canada’s relationship with Quebec happen shortly after the war; the

Being a Canadian is a blessing. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity that garners protection against low wages, provides a platform propelling diversified learning environments and functions under a democratic government system operating for the common good. Adopting a pretentious framework, being able to acknowledge Canadian identity within the following context is the actual blessing. Canadian identity itself is submerged within an array of events, individuals and time periods that have significantly contributed to her development and fundamentally, idealization as a unified nation. Nevertheless, the idea of unity was not a matter of immediate occurrence; the journey to cultivating a unified nation was plagued by measures accentuating plurality.

conclusion, the Canadian confederation was borne out of a series of problems and threats that had faced the larger Canadian continent. Rather than becoming a platform for development and growth it was created out of necessity. The two regions had to come together if they had any chance of fighting the imminent problems that the continent faced. Many of these problems were influenced by external forces that threatened the strength and unity of the country. The political, economic and social issues raised generated a scenario where the country had no option but to come together and work towards the development as a single unit. The war between Britain and America was at the center of these problems since they were fighting their own political

As the 20th century comes to an end, Canada is a transcontinental nation whose interests and representatives span the face of the globe and extend into every sphere of human behaviour. However this was not always the case. When the four colonies of British North America united to create Canada on July 1, 1867, the new country's future was by no means secure. Canada was a small country, with unsettled borders, vast empty spaces, and a large powerful neighbour, the United States. Confronting these challenges was difficult for the young country. Though Canada was independent in domestic matters, Britain retained control over its foreign policy. Over the next fifty or so years, Canada's leaders and its
