Canada is a great place to live so when it comes to picturing a new Canada is makes it hard for a lot of people to see how Canada can get any better. There are places out there with kids who don't just go to bed hunger, they die from not having any food, there's war and never ending death drowns some people, all well Canada is in the top 10 of the best places to live. I think in Canada our problem isn’t something that's hugely affects the people of my generation, we have some crazy killers, our unemployment rate is up, and yes we do have some kids living on the street. We can’t stop that, that is always going to be something around us so when I imagine a Canada I imagine something that is in the reach of everyone. We need some people to learn some social manners. That's it in my mind, social manners. We have so many people who don't understand what's right and what isn’t right to say. …show more content…
However in 2011 around 19.1% of our total population belongs to a minority. Yet for some reason with a minority population only around 6 million of our 36 million I still have to hear everyday in my country some nasty comment about a minority group, a group that over the years and to this day as already had all forms of comments made about them as if there life is up for conversation starters at awkward family reunions. So at the end of the day if I could wave a magic wand and have a dream Canada mine would be one where people learned the rights and wrongs of life and have the willpower to know when not to be like “So did you hear about that black, female cop that got shot over the weekend? When I heard about I was so happy.” and instead talk about what they did over the
First of all, Canadians worry too much about diversity to become a whole. Everyone is very different from each other. Each region has their own views, their own rules, their own holidays and even their own cultures. The entire country does not have a certain dominant, widely shared characteristic, or even widely shared feelings or instincts. Hutchison believes that Canada is different because it is still learning how to become a well established nation.
Canada is not a perfect country that makes no mistakes. Its road to democracy, multiculturalism and equality is long and still continues. Canada once faced serious racism problems, for example, German and Ukrainian Canadians were not treated well during World War I. It was the first time Canadian government and citizens took prejudiced and unfair actions to its own citizens. In 1914, more than a million people from Germany and Ukraine lived in Canada. Many Canadians feared that some of these immigrants from enemy countries might be spies; therefore, Germans and Ukrainians were labelled enemy aliens. They were required to carry their identifications and report their movements to the police, and many lost the right to vote. More than 8000 Germans
We in Canada are safe, away from the threats of terror, violence and corruption we read about in newspapers or see on the evening news. The same goes for the town in which we live. We are lucky, unfortunately not all are so lucky. Some people coming into the country are trying to escape the violence that has plagued their homeland for so long, others are looking to start over, and some just want to experience what is is like to live in a place where they are not forced to assimilate to a norm, where they can have freedom. Due to all of these reasons, the immigrant population to Canada from other countries has increased significantly and will continue to grow in the coming decades.
The Canadian government portrays the country as a land of new beginnings, where people go to start a better life for themselves and their families. With much to offer to newcomers, including the promises of safety, security and healthcare, the vast selection of jobs and education, and an overall high quality of living, many immigrants have chosen and will continue to choose Canada as their new home country. Canadian officials take pride in accepting and embracing multiculturalism - as Canada is often referred to as a country of cultural mosaic in contrast to the idea of the American ‘melting pot’. This image of Canada overlooks the ill-advised past actions that have taken place, much the same way as it disregards the subtle discrimination that
Health care and medicine, contribute to the well-being of Canadians by being affordable, accessible, as well as being universal and portable throughout Canada. Whereas education is a large part of the well being of Canadian citizens because there are many different options for courses, classes, and work fields, as well as available for all ages to fulfill people’s needs across the country. Unlike multiculturalism, which builds diversity and helps shape Canadians well being and ability to accept others as well as change. Finally, Canadian rights and freedoms are a valuable contribution to Canadians wellbeing by establishing laws to protect people, as well as to allow people freedom of choice alongside safety. There are countless contributions to Canadian well being throughout Canada and many different ways that it is displayed and expressed or
Canada as a just society has changed a lot throughout the years, Canada has and still is a discriminative place but I believe it has definitely improved but there are still changes that need to be made. However,As said Canada has changed for the better andit has improved a lot since her older days, and not everything will always be perfect, a conflict will always arise and maybe we cannot always solve the problem. Canadian identity has been working towards a just society but it has been negatively affected by how they have treated minorities in World War One, with aboriginals in residential schools, the enactment of the War Measures Act in a time of peace and the continued LGBTQ discrimination.
Canada is a nation built on immigration, and as the world becomes an ever increasingly hostile place more and more have chosen to try and make Canada their home. This melting pot of different cultures has created an overall atmosphere of acceptance, and is teaching younger generations a sense of community, empathy, and togetherness. Sharing our space and learning to grow with different ethnicities has perpetuated our status as a friendly, caring, and loyal nation, that many are willing to risk everything for in exchange for becoming a part of it.
Canada's contribution on the home front played a significant role in the war effort. The federal government transformed the Canadian lifestyle by introducing rationing which limited the quantity and type of goods we consumed. On September 3, 1939, Prime Minister Mackenzie King’s government established the Wartime Prices and Trade Board (WPTB) which introduced rationing and controlled prices to avoid inflation. Every Canadian was issued a ration card to buy essentials such as sugar, meat, gasoline etc. Even though the cards restricted the number of goods it ensured the limit was enough to fulfill an individual's need. Special permits were required to purchase cars, appliances, and other resource consuming. Overall, rationing was a
To what extent was Pierre Trudeau’s vision of a “just society” actually achieved in Canada in (and since) the 1970s? Canada is a just society because of the changes to women's legal rights, ethnic minority human rights, and multiculturalism.
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.
I am proud to be Canadian. I really am. No one can take that away from me. Canada is a unique country that provides many things to its citizens. There is a sense of unity, a sense of security, and most of us have a distinct sense of national identity. We have fresh air and clean land, and we are a free country, where we can speak our minds without fear. Many Provincial and National parks have been put in place to help preserve all of the natural land Canada has, and our country hasn’t been completely urbanized so we are a very clean country, with many freshwater lakes and Oceans on both borders. Canada has a very diverse amount of animals, and plants. Such as the caribou and moose, as well as deer and geese. Canadians have access to free, high
It is the assumption of many that Canada is a nation free of racism. Canadians pride themselves on being culturally diverse and accepting, and on having relatively progressive social policies such as that of universal healthcare. However, there are many ways in which the current and historical policies have expressed explicit racism that have left an already marginalized population with the crumbs of society. A prime example of this can be demonstrated in the mass overrepresentation of Aboriginal youth in care. By the year 2010, there were around twenty-seven thousand Indigenous children in the Canadian child welfare system who were living in some sort of out-of-home care (Chappell, 2014). Although they represented only seven percent of the children in Canada, they made up 48 percent of all children in foster care. (Yukselir & Annett, 2016). This phenomenon is not a recent trend, as it has been occurring since the very creation of modern child welfare in Canada as it is known, and it has its roots deep in Canadian history. This paper will demonstrate a timeline of the events which have lead to this phenomenon in Canada, specifically focusing on the province of Ontario. Important facts which may have contributed to the overrepresentation of this population will be discussed, such as historical methods of colonization in regards to child welfare including the implementation of the residential school system and the Sixties Scoop. Policies that have also had a profound impact,
Having lived in Canada when I was 8 before the US-Canada magazine dispute occurred, I found myself thoroughly engrossed in Canadian culture. It seemed a perfect culture, built to protect domestic interests and despite the potential division between countries, created a safe environment where people were unafraid to leave doors unlocked, due to almost no crime. The peaceful and respectful nature of most Canadians isn’t just a fluke, the country was designed this way, and one of the primary influencers of this strategy is the media. Watching the news in Canada, the focus is positive, the message is positive, there is no forced fear of sense of doom as we see here in the US. Life is about being sustainable, not so much a struggle to the top of the food chain, but working together, instead of separating and segregating groups. That is except the region of French Quebec; however, Quebec is like a whole new country in itself.
unique because Canada is a cultural mosaic, which allows elements of many cultures to be integrated
Canada has been known by many as country of diverse culture, people move from all over the world to live here. There is certain traditions/objects that are thought of as being Canadian, although that would just be a matter of opinion for the most part. While all
