Canada Political Influence

Canada’s media industries have played a huge role in the Canadian culture. The Canadian culture has integrated with other countries forming a successful globalization. Many countries including the United States have contributed to the success in Canada’s media industries. The success of globalization between all of the countries was predicted by Marshall McLuhan and ever since his prediction, the world can be depicted as a global village. The global village can be viewed as a tool, a tool that is bringing the world together, despite the different languages, locations, and diverse cultures. With new technologies being developed more often, the communication skills between different countries are very successful. Canada’s diversity in their media and policies has established a global village with people around the world, allowing them to relate to the Canadian culture.

Former prime minister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, believed greatly in what he thought Canada was to become. “The nineteenth century was the century of the United States. I think that we can claim that is it Canada that shall fill the twentieth century. “ was said by Laurier and his words passed almost without notice at the time. However, it did not take long before his words had somehow been transformed into the most famous phrase in Canadian history, “The twentieth century belongs to Canada.” His words showed great confidence and pride in the actions that Canada was supposedly to take to fulfill his vision. He believed that Canada would fill the century, not in size or military might but in progress, growth, and quality of life. Ultimately, he

In Wayne Roberts and John Bullen’s A Heritage of Hope and Struggle: Workers, Unions and Politics of Canada 1930-1982, Roberts and Bullen’s outline the struggles and hardships Canadians endure post WWII on their path to prosperity with their employers. The journey begins late 1940s; conflicts emerge regarding union security which results in strikes, the 1945 Ford Windsor strike occurs as the organization’s employees demand the stability of the union. In an attempt to resolve the issues, Justice Ivan Rand urges a formula to “check-off dues” from employee paycheques to invest in the union, regarding finances and its activities. The fifties include the creation of the Canadian Labor Congress 1956 and the New Democratic Party. The sixties introduce

Pierre Trudeau—who I consider the greatest Canadian in history—was Canada's 15th Prime Minister. Born on October 18th, 1919, Trudeau came from a wealthy family in the suburbs of Outremont along with two younger siblings. Born of Scottish and French descent, he grew up fluent in French. As adolescence, Trudeau graduated from the prestigious Jesuit preparatory school Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf; then, got a law degree at the University of Montreal. In 1965, the Liberal party invited Trudeau and two colleagues to run for particular seats. Because of his charismatic and flamboyant personality, he became a “fan favourite”, i.e., well liked among voters and became Minister of Justice. Not long after, in 1968, Trudeau was the 15th Prime Minister of Canada.

Despite much of efforts in an attempt to regain political power, labor continues to have a deep frustration and stagnation. Thus, the future political possibilities of the labor movement are in question, and the need for critical evaluation is important. Understanding how and why the workers were able to have a collective power in the postwar time, how they lost it, and how they could restore it is the topic of Rethinking Labor Politics in Canada.

It is inarguable that people are talking about Canada since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau assumed office just a few months ago. In just over four months, the media-friendly, question-taking and selfies-giving Trudeau has managed to seemingly make Canada cool on the world stage, using the increased spotlight to highlight the merits of diplomacy and engagement, including on issues such as climate change, respect for diversity and human rights and international peace.

How successful Canada was on remaining independent of foreign control, whilst being a part of international decision making.

One of the most influential people in Canada today is not even Canadian himself. Donald Trump is known around the world for his morning twitter rants and questionable theories. Trump has claimed to “make America great again” However, what does this statement mean for Canada? Trump in 2017 alone has Renegotiated NAFTA, Put a cap on the amount of refugees entering the USA and finally Trump stated while campaigning for a presidency that stated he was going to build a wall in between the USA and Mexico. What does this mean? This means that Trump Threatened to walk away from NAFTA because Canada and the Mexico were being “difficult” and Canada needs NAFTA because the USA has been a main buyer for Canada's oil productions and this could put Canada

Not only can The United States negative dominance be felt through pop-culture, televisions and the media, but it can be felt along the lines of The U.S’ alarming political effects on Canada and the dependence that Canada has on the United States. This issue, more recent then others derives from the recently elected president of the United States; Donald J. Trump. Canada is in close proximity to the United States and during the current times of unrest and political feuds occurring, Canada is left in a dangerous position. In terms of Americas concerning political dominance over Canada, The United States, under the Trump government fails to realize that their actions, effect more than just themselves. Trumps lack of ability to recognize climate

The government has an enormous influence on the economy of its nation. As of November 2015, Canada will be under the leadership of Justin Trudeau and his Liberal party. The article predicts how the newly elected government will influence the Canadian economy. The government affects the economy through the manipulating the value of its currency, government bonds, and annual spending. Factors such as interest rates and government debt would affect a nation’s currency and consequently, the economy. Government bonds help determine interest rates. Annual spending on government projects, such as infrastructure, would increase the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of a country. GDP increases will boost the economy.

I hypothesize that the current US policy with Canada makes sense and is beneficial to both countries. Our current foreign policies with Canada include, working “in partnerships within, at, and away from our borders to achieve enhanced security and accelerate the legitimate flow of people, goods, and services between our two countries.” Our relationship with Canada, I would consider to be strong. The fact that we have a very large, extensive border between our countries, a solid relationship is almost a necessity. Eve with outr differences with regards to boundaries and oil reserve rights, the communications between our country are strong and I would classify the United States relationship with Canada and strong and thriving, but ore so consistent. The relationship between the US and Canada actually thrives off of each other, for example, “Canada, absorbs 43% of U.S. exports, and half of their energy imports come from the Western Hemisphere. (US Dept. of State 2013) With this, I would also go to say that sharing a border with shared values and beliefs in our economic structure are key to successful foreign relations.

The current economic crisis has a number of dimensions that are crucial. During this time there was a moment to represent break up to form interlocking arrangements to govern the world economy. There were several attempts to resolve the crises that arose from the central contradiction. This was within capitalism between the creation of profits and the realization of those profits in the sphere of production, circulation and exchange. These crises have led to a build-up of debts for both corporate and household debt. The crises also destabilized the returns of the international monetary resulting in trading deficit even with the most powerful nations. The crises also affected the low commodities prices ecologically. In an attempt to maintain these crises through strategic management policy they were a drastic change that affected the economy in a more severe manner in 2008. This was far the worse economy crises that affected many countries seeking for survival tactics. For China, it was a different case as it shows a remarkable growth in its economy despite the crises that threatened the economy globally.

The late half of 1997 and the early parts of 1998 presented the world with one of the world’s most famous financial crises. This financial crisis proved to be detrimental mainly to the south-eastern Asian area, including South Korea, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and Indonesia. The aforementioned south-eastern states recorded astounding economic growth in the preceding decade. The downfall of the economy caused a domino effect in the local markets and currency markets of each country. The nations’ leaders, as a result, had to request assistance from the IMF. Politics were important in creating the financial boom, but they were also guilty of the subsequent consequences.

The economic crisis is a situation when country’s GDP tends to decline, Unemployment increases, the rate of inflation rises faster than it should etc. All these factors combined bring short-run instability in an economy. All of these elements play a major role in creating economic issues in a country (Trading Economics, 2016). Generally, every country has their own rules and regulations to control all these economic factors. If the rate of inflation increases excessively then it gradually increases the level of unemployment by creating an economic recession (Leijonhufvud, 2000). A country suffering from economic recession can be considered that it suffering from worst phase amongst all other economic issues.

For a long time, political economy as a branch of social science has been used when studying relationships between organisations and also between the market and a country (Veseth, n.d). This can be translated as understanding the management of an institution while at the same time taking into account both the internal and external factors that may influence its operations. With this, there has been proof of significant transformations and the emergence of great political economists from various regions of the world. All had a common goal of studying the function of the society and try to enhance its structure and performance. Political economists have various views but concur on given beliefs and ideologies. They aimed at studying and understanding the different economic strategies used and the related practices which range from the economic interaction between the various fields and the application of the views and ideas that challenge the previous practices. The economist, therefore, relates this to the strategies making rational decisions.
