History Behind Comics In Canada

Media such as journals, television, music and movies have influenced Canada’s culture in the past and continue to do so today. The Royal Commission on Publications, the Committee on Broadcasting and the Senate Committee on the Mass Media are all concerned with the fact that periodicals and broadcasting are dominated by American content (Smith, 2014, p.105-106). Due to the American’s dominance, the opinions and messages that are conveyed to the Canadians do not reflect Canadian culture, but more so American culture. It has an effect on the Canadians that are on the receiving end because their values and beliefs are altered based on what they hear, and their culture is starting to resemble more that of America than Canada. This is further proven when an observer in 1889 states: “American papers, magazines, books, periodicals, secular and religious, for children and for adults, fill Canadian homes...”

Originating in the 19th century, political cartoons are created and drawn as a means to deliver a message. Whether it be about politics, events or social concerns, the artist is able to express themselves creatively. The cartoons are not only meant to express the view of the creator, but are also open to interpretation. Most political cartoons have a biased point of view and uses rhetoric to persuade its audience.

One of the best ways to judge the different political arguments in Canada from the early 20th century is by reviewing the different political cartoons that were released. These were an effective way of educating the masses because it did not require an advanced education or vocabulary to understand where each side was debating. One of the more popular conflicts that were ongoing in the first years of the 1900’s was the fight for women’s equality. This included the right to vote and the right to participate in government. By comparing political cartoons from before, during, and after the First World War the changing context of Canadian society also affected the public opinion and the power balance towards the evolution of Women’s equality.

When taking the time to review the early beginnings of Canadian history through the events that would go onto lead to confederation, it is possible to realize the intent that is found in regards to the founding of the country from being a collection of colonies for the British Empire. This all in all establishes and investigation to the economic, social, political, and environmental events/ideas to go on to understand the nature of the formation of Canada, as well as the influences that would go on to the development of the national identity.

The past of Canada also known as the Pre-history, portrayed a period where traditional used European and Western methods of recording and describing history were not present. The stories of the aboriginal people of Canada are narrated through stories, legends, songs and dance. Additional insight into that world is provided by the first impressions of explorers and colonizers from Europe but as soon as the influence by those people was made, the native population’s world began to change.

1. As the Canadian governmental committee put it, "magazines constitute the only national press .. in Canada, …..( it) can help foster in Canadians a sense of themselves." A legacy that is threatened by more than 100 US Magazines established in Canada. If the majority of magazines are printed in America, there will be no need for printing magazines in Canada. In an effort to preserve this identifying mark of Canadian identity, culminated into the Canadian magazine dispute. When thoroughly analyzed, America, the biggest foreign magazine contributor in Canada is to blame for the dispute. In an effort to monitor and control imports of foreign publications. Canada was only trying to protect what rightfully belongs to them.

This essay will prove that graduating students in Ontario should only study Canadian literature in a Grade 12 English course. While good writers exist in all cultures, Ontario students should only study Canadian writers. Because we need to become more familiar with our literature. Three reasons for this are; the need to focus on our own Canadian culture despite being surrounded by other cultures, the need to promote and establish our own writers, and the need to encourage younger Canadian authors.

The history of Canada spans over hundreds of years. There have been endless defining occasion’s in our country's history that have constructed, and shaped our country. Canada has shaped as a nation politically, economically and socially through many consequences we have faced and many moments we have celebrated. Events such as the women's suffrage, Terry Fox’s Marathon of Hope, and Stephen Harper apologizing to aboriginal people regarding what happened with the Residential School System have had a lasting impact on our country. Their significance to Canadian history is evident through the impact they have had on many of our citizens. They have played a leading role in carving our history to be the way it is today.

Over the years Canada has been voted as the most preferred country of travel and immigration by multiple news outlets and travel magazines. Thousands of individuals embark on a journey to Canada each year, because the country holds a remarkable reputation as a nation built upon peace, diversity, and acceptance. Canada is known to be a multicultural country, because Canadians are individuals with multiple ethnicities, races, and cultures. The history of Canada is very unique, and different from any other country. Canadian history is based heavily on immigration. Canada was not formed thousands of years ago, by indigenous inhibitors; it was established by European settlers from various parts of Europe, whom came in the form of immigration, and opened their doors to other immigrants. The multiculturalism and bilingualism is what makes this country standout as the number one immigrant destination. The various backgrounds, and nationalities which make up Canadian society, provides Canada with sense of diversity which can’t be found anywhere in the world. As Canadians, I find it very crucial that we understand the history of our people, and their immigration to Canada. As a first generation immigrant, I see myself obligated to better understand my culture, traditions, and why my people decided to immigrate to Canada, and the hardships in which they had to overcome. With a better understanding of where I came from, I can hopefully better understand myself, and build a stronger

Based on my knowledge about the quantity of American content that is prevalent in Canadian airwaves these days, I do not believe that Canada has their own popular culture that is independent of the United States. To begin, Canada and the United States share a connection and a few similarities with each other - expected of neighbouring countries. Being first world countries with capitalist infrastructures, the target audience of these media forms are similar. The type of television and movies follow a similar format (or even exact copy) from American to Canadian television - media companies and networks know this format of media is effective for both regions, so why not reuse it? This eliminates drastic differences in popular culture from Canadian

Canada is a nation located in the upper region of the North American continent. The land of Canada had a history dating back to before the founding of said country as an independent sovereign nation. Events that sparked involvement with the affairs other nations began before and during the war of eighteen twelve. The political unit of Canada also had some influential political figures, a prime example being Pierre Elliott Trudeau who was the prime minister of Canada for sixteen years and the people of that nation dearly admired him even before he was even elected to be the prime minister. Canada has an interesting history and a culture that is not dissimilar to that of the United States. When the Canadians began their history as a united sovereign nation they had gotten into and out of the war of eighteen twelve.

My political cartoon represents the relationship between Britain and Canada during the 1860’s. In the cartoon, Britain is Canada’s mother who is watching her son jovially give and accept gifts; little does Canada know that Britain is going to stab him with a knife in the back and leave him to fall down the cliff of debt. The lady represents Britain because Britain founded Canada and Canada is the little child holding onto Britain for all support. The sun is the Canada Corn Act that is gleaming on Canada because he believes the act will be “shining” with its protection forever, but Canada is already slipping down the cliff. The basket on Canada’s back symbolizes the corn laws and the knife is free trade. Based on how Canada is expressing his
