Conflict In Canada

The province of Quebec has been part of Canada since the very beginning. Quebec, originally a colony of France, is the only province in Canada with a predominantly french speaking population. Quebec is an important factor in Canada's diversity, as the culture in Quebec is vastly different than the rest of Canada. A fact that Canadians are proud of. However, many in Quebec see themselves as too different, in a sense, from the rest of canada, and believe that Quebec should become its own sovereign nation. The political party Bloc Quebecois has been trying to gain independence for Quebec since 1991 (Goldsworthy 10), although unsuccessfully. Canada needs quebec in order to keep the same amount of influence it has in the world,

This is a powerful quote, and to each individual, it has its own meaning. When I read this quote, what I understood was that if one believes they are powerless, then they are. The oppressor cannot control what is in your head, or your spirit. This quote is relevant because it corresponds to Canada’s relationship with the Indigenous people. My paper will be ranging from the topics of residential schools in Canada, and the aftershock of them; the positive influence New Zealand could have on Canada’s struggle to decolonization, and looking deeper into how Canada can take New Zealand as an example and try to incorporate it into our own values and system. Although this paper includes a broad range of subjects, it will be focused solely on my

-Quartet of Middle east— recognizes Israel but also wants Palestinian to have their own state. They struggle to find a way for peace. There are different resolutions that have been suggested such as the Oslo Peace Accords in 1993, Road map for peace, Camp David Summit 2000, etc. but it all failed.

Even though it seems that Richard got a lot of the abuse, it's always been like this for French Canadians in Quebec. French Canadians have never been able to coexist with English Canadians and have always felt like second class citizens to English Canadians. The reason why they have never been able to coexist with them is due to the fact that they have never been able to make a decision together and have almost always been on opposite sides of each decision. For example, when prohibition was created in the 1920s, Quebec had more than 70% people vote no. However, almost every other province ha people vote more than 50% people vote yes.

In 1841 Britain declared in the Act of the Union that both East & West Canada would have equal representation in the elected assembly of the Province of Canada. Britain made this decision because Canada East outnumbered Canada West in terms of population. The guarantee of equal representation was supposed to allay Canada West’s fear of domination by French Catholics. However, it instead led to political deadlock. A political deadlock is when the tho sides of government bock each other from advancing any sort of agenda.

A number of issues plague the current state of Canadian democracy, such as poor voter turnout, the increasing polarization of politics, and even numerous scandals regarding the Senate. Yet, arguably the most important issue in relation to the Canadian electoral process is the debate over whether or not the state should implement electoral reform for federal elections, more specifically replacing the Single Member Plurality system (SMP) with the Mixed Member Proportional system (MMP). Some analysts, like Christopher Kam, defend the SMP system and claim that a number of the issues that are used as the basis for the support of MMP are actually the result of larger forces than simply the electoral format. And, that holding politicians

Since Confederation, relations between the Canadian federal government and the native people of Canada have been strained due to the former existence of the Indian Residential School System. Following the passage of the Indian Act, the first residential schools were established across Canada to assimilate indigenous children into Canadian society through the forced adoption of European customs at the expense of their own culture. During its tenure, approximately 150,000 indigenous children were separated from their communities and families, and forcibly enrolled into residential schools where many would be subjected to physical, and psychological abuses. Despite its malicious practices and objective, the residential school system

Following this, during the 1920s the relations between these countries got even worse and violence was breaking out throughout the land (4 IAK). People simply couldn’t control themselves over the land that both believed to be theirs. Progress was made however on May 15, 1947, the newly formed U.N. constructed a committee (United Nations Special Committee on Palestine), be created "to prepare for consideration at the next regular session of the Assembly a report on the question of Palestine" (8 IMFA). In the 6th chapter of the report of September 3, 1947, it was recommended by a majority of the committee that "Palestine within its present borders, following a transitional period of two years from September 1, 1947, shall be constituted into an independent Arab State, an independent Jewish State, and the City of Jerusalem" (8 IMFA). This didn’t satisfy either party however; both had seeked for the recommendation to favor

The post war revolts were demonstrations by soldiers and labourers protesting the conditions which resulted after the ending of the war. Individuals all over Canada and the world expressed their dismay at the current situation. Soldiers in Victoria revolted, there was increased tensions from soldiers stationed in England, and even general labour strikes. These events all culminated in a period of hypertension among the state and its citizens. When exploring the related weeks and readings to the subjects, it can be seen that these effects were caused by the ending of World War I, or at least exacerbated by it.

In lots of ways unity and conflict were themes in Canada. Conflict in Canada was showed largely in the rebellion and French and Indian War. The French speakers in lower Canada were lead into rebellion by Papineau and the English speakers in upper Canada by Mackinzie. The French and Indian War was a war between longtime rivals France and British in North America. It started at the Ohio River Valley. The causes for the war were past rivalry, competition in fur trade, rival native allies, and land disputes. The French and Indian War was called the 7 year war, it started in 1754. NAFTA and the mounties help with the Unity in Canada. The NAFTA is the North American Free Trade Agreement. This made trading free for the USA , Mexico and Canada.

Tensions between the French and English speaking Canadians has been a topic issue for quite some time now. Throughout the years it has been questioned as to wether or not the French and English speaking Canadians have the potential ability to be together as a nation. Various votes have been held in order to try and establish what the people of Canada feel about this situation. However, the history of the English and French speaking Canadians prove that Canada is an impossible nation. Foreign Policies, such as the Naval Services Bill, the Boer War and Conscription all contribute to why Canada is an impossible nation. Political Issues involving the Constitution Act, 1982, the Referendum Act Two, 1995 and the Clarity Act are three other

The after effect of the war was not what the European and North American countries expected, the war concluded with Canadian citizens in a displeased and agitated state. The First World War was extremely significant to Canada because it was their first major battle in which they were triumphant and gained independence. However, the country did not foresee the difficulties that accompanied the war. As a result, the end of WWI led to a period of negative conditions in Canada due to the banning of alcohol, rising government debt, and increasing unemployment.

Here in the United States, many people take our daily lives for granted. For which we can have freedoms, that most of the world does not have access to. Many people around the world are not able to do the things that we can do here. Some of them are treated differently because of where they are from, or because of what they believe in. Some of the places that are undergoing regional conflicts are the Xinjiang territory, Chechnya, and the province of Quebec. These problems have been taking place for a very longtime. These issues could have been resolved, but haven’t for many different reasons. All three of these countries have faces similar problems for a very longtime, like controlling government, language issues, and a lack of freedom for religion.

Canada is regarded as one of the wealthiest industrialized countries in the world. This indication is contrary to the well-being reality affecting Canadians. Despite being part of the Organization for Economic Co-operation Development (OECD), Canada has lagged behind her otherwise wealthy counterparts in the industrialized countries being position 19 out of 22 nations (Breznitz and Zysman, 2013). This has been attributed to the precarious levels of poverty in a majority of Canadian households. The country has not recognized any official poverty measurement although other universal measures such as LICO is used for measuring relative poverty, a more determinable measure of poverty for wealthy countries.
