Haiti and the Dominican Republic are two countries that were once one nation, however, the long-lasting effects of colonialism have separated the island which the nations sit into two independent Caribbean countries. Numerous events have led to the modern day conflicts and issues between these great nations, which include violations of civil rights, deportation and violence.

The concept of recognizing Quebec as a distinct society is an idea that has been kicking around for some time, but just what does it mean and what are its broader implications? This paper will examine the origins of the term, what it means, and its historical context. It will then examine rival interpretations of federalism.

Eric William in chapters seven and nine of his book, “From Columbus to Castro”, provides his readers with an in-depth knowledge about the political and economic history of the Caribbean. Eric William gives his readers the story of how Europeans “discovered” the Caribbean and how they governed it. Thus the various events that took place right from the time of Christopher Columbus, focusing on the colonial sweepstakes pursued by France, England, the Netherlands, Spain, and Denmark. The main idea of chapter seven is how the Caribbean came to be the cock pit of European rivalry and wars in the latter parts of the fifteenth century up to the eighteenth century, an interesting tale of adventure, greed and cruelty. What William offers

We had two presentation groups in our geography class. The class started with the first group’s presentation and it was about chapter six Quebec. They explained that Quebec’s historical geography can be divided into 3 periods: New France, British Occupation and Confederation. Then they talked about Quebec’s physical geography, economy, hydro- electricity, and environmental challenges in Quebec. They presented that hydro Quebec is the major producer of electric power in Canada and the disposal of industrial waste into St. Lawrence River is a huge environmental challenge in Quebec. Then they showed us a short video clip and moved onto talking about tourism and nationalism in Quebec. At the end, we played “Kahoot” for the class activity. Then

Canada is considered to be a cultural mosaic, where all cultures are embraced opposed to a melting pot where it is expected to adopt one culture. Government regulated media is more favourable than policies based off of self-regulated solutions when addressing Canada’s media industries and cultural needs. Canadians place importance on national identity and without government regulated policies, the content in the media would have minimal Canadian information. According to the Aird Commission, when Canada’s media was operating through private enterprise, many stations expressed conflicting content, however, with state regulated media, broadcasting allows the nation to have a unified vocation. One unified message being sent to the nations citizens is more beneficial than multiple broadcasts on differentiated and insignificant information.

Toronto is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world with over 230 different nationalities where roughly half of the city’s residents were born outside of Canada. Sounds great but what does this diversity look like and what are the real faces behind the statistics? Cosmopolis Toronto photo project by Colin Boyd Shafer takes on the complex task of showing the real people and their stories behind the statistics. “Cosmopolis” literally means “a city inhabited by people from many different countries.” The photo project features someone from every country of the world who now calls Toronto their home.

Love Canal is one of the most iconic and appalling environmental tragedies in American history. Dreamed up by a visionary, William T. Love built Love Canal to create a dream community on the fringe of Niagara Falls where all could see it as a dream community. Love built the Canal because he thought that by digging a short canal between two rivers that he could generate electricity to power homes and business in the community surrounding the canal. With the invention of AC power and a depression, the canals power systems were never installed and it remained as a dry canal for quite some time. It’s ironic that it had such grand intentions considering the Love Canal would become one of Americas most polluted superfund sites in American history.
