Comparison Of Life In Nunavut And Canada

Today, Canada is known around the world as a cultural mosaic. As a nation it welcomes people of both sexes with all different beliefs, cultures, and religions. Creating a mature nation would require promoting equality of opportunity to all and giving help to those who were disadvantaged. However, Canada has not always been a welcoming and mature nation.

The Adaptive Nature of Canada?s First People The Canadian people have always prided themselves as champions of democracy and are universally respected for their record on human rights. Although holistically this could be argued, especially when compared to the United States and other Western states, the record concerning Aboriginals, both past and present, has yet to live up to their self-set standard. Defined simply as anyone who traces his/her ancestry back to pre-European colonization, there exist mass diversity within its community. Although various political actors dispute the actual number of Aboriginals, Statistics Canada reported in 2006 that 1,678,200 people indicated they were ethnically Aboriginal or roughly 5.4 percent of the population (Statistics Canada: Population Counts).

Born in 1943, to a Greek mother and a Cherokee father, Thomas King moved to Canada in the late 1970’s to take a teaching job at the University of Lethbridge. There, he met his wife, Helen. Together they delved into Canadian society and its multicultural essence. However, being of First Nation descendant, King noticed that in Canada, the Aboriginal population was not as integrated into Canadian society as it was preserved. Canadian society had a reputation of being multicultural, accepting and seeking to add other cultural values, practices and morals too it 's own. However, King held the perspective that Canada misrepresented and undermined its Aboriginal inhabitants. Therefore in 2012, King wrote a history book, that attempted to bring to light the Canadian-Aboriginal relations and a First Nation perspective of their representation, history and political desires to the forefront of readers attention. The Inconvenient Indian: A Curious Account of Native People in North America, was the end result that encompassed King’s beliefs, findings and objectives. Therefore, it is the purpose of this essay to discuss and analyze The Inconvenient Indian by identifying its key aims, highlighting and analyzing its major themes and core arguments, and identify any of the book’s shortcomings.

Those who do not favour this position would argue that the quality of life in Canada is increasing, while others would argue that it is decreasing. Everyone always hope that the bad things hopefully get better and the better gets even better. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. There is hard evidence of the major decrease in our quality of life. Canada’s environment is being used people’s want of energy, electricity etc, which causes pollution which then affects health.

Age: The Population of Canada is Aging. in Canada the median age was 39.9 years which means that half of the population was older than that and half was younger. The Median age in 1971 was 26.2 years. the fastest growing age group is made up of seniors. This is a trend that is expected to continue for the next several decades, mainly because of a below replacement fertility rate (ex. average number of children per woman), an increase in life expectancy, and the baby boom generation aging. in an estimated 5.0 million Canadians were 65 years of age or older in 2011 that is a number expected to double in the next 25 years to reach 10.4 million seniors by 2036. by 2051, about one in four Canadians is expected to be 65 or over.

The article Canada’s senior population to jump, workforce decline by 2063 by CBC News begins by discussing what the future demographics of Canada’s population will look like. According to the article, Statistics Canada (As cited by CBC News, 2014) believes that Canada will face “a big demographic shift over the next 50 years, with a growing number of seniors and a movement of people to Western Canada” (CBC News, 2014, para. 1).
