How Did Sir Robert Borden Impact On Canada

He made Canada an independent county separated from England and his actions showed us how he truly cared about Canada. On December 2, 1981 The Canadian House of Commons approved Trudeau’s constitutional reform resolution and on April 17, 1982, Queen Elizabeth finally declared independence for Canada from the British Parliament. Other than that, Trudeau stood against the separation of Quebec and made Canada a more united country. During the annual Saint- Baptiste Day parade in Montreal, Trudeau stands against separating Quebec. Trudeau was being thrown rocks and bottles at by the rioters that supported the separation of Quebec. From this, one can see how Trudeau was willing to sacrifice his pride for Canada, at the end he won the election and that is why we see Quebec in Canada’s map

Canada has had many prime ministers that have contributed and held back Canada in shaping Canada’s identity over the past century however nobody has came close to helping as Mackenzie king who protected Canada during world war 2, brought Canada through the great depression with industrialization, and he helped create national unity and independence. Canada would not be the same country it is today without the fine leading of mackenzie king.

Pierre Trudeau was the 15th prime minister of Canada. During his time as prime minister he changed a lot of Canadians lives for the better. He also, made history that will never be forgotten by past, present and future Canadians. Pierre Trudeau kept Canada united, avoiding Quebec to separate from Canada. Trudeau passed many the “Official Language Act” in 1969 making English and French Canada’s official languages. This act made government workers to offer services in both English and French. Trudeau passed many bills and acts, which adequately helped Canada to develop more as a nation. He abolished the death penalty in 1976 which didn’t make people die for the crimes they did or did not commit. He strengthened gun control laws so deaths by gun

Pierre Trudeau is the greatest Canadian of the twentieth century due to the fact that he declared Canada’s independence from Great Britain, he abolished the death penalty, and he created the Official Languages Act, making our nation entirely bilingual.

This is true for not only the politician aspect of Canada, but many others as well. “In 1974, women accounted for 34% of Canada’s labour force.” (4 NELLIE BOOK) In terms of politics, “In recent years women have achieved major political positions such as Speakers of the House of Commons, Justices of the Supreme Court of Canada (Louise Charron), Governor General of Canada (Michaelle Jean), Kim Campbell (Canada’s first, and to date female prime minister), and many more.” (5 NELLIE). After all of these achievements, there were many events held by the Canadian government,” some of the latest events that honoured the accomplishments of the Famous Five and their Person’s Case were: The Famous Five monument unveiling at Parliament Hill in Ottawa (1999), the 75th anniversary of the Person’s case was commemoration (2004), and the Bank of Canada unveiling a new $50 bill that showcases the five women (2004).” (6 ABHER) In terms of the future, Canadian women still have a very long way to go. They have established respect for themselves, but still have many more things they need to be able to achieve in order for them to be considered equal to men, and share the same privileges.“The visual of a woman running, whether it’s for vice president or president,

Looking at Canada and how it is now as a whole, it is not a likely thought that would come to your head everyday and think, where would this country be today if it wasn't for its leaders that started it. Sir John A MacDonald and Sir Wilfred Laurier were two major leaders that contributed their time to build Canada. As they suffered through many conflicts and challenges that they had to over come. As with MacDonald's dispute with the pacific scandal and bringing along colonies under one government, which lead to confederation. Some include Laurier and the Manitoba Act, along with reciprocity with-in Canada and the United States of America.

Pierre Elliott Trudeau rings a bell in most Canadians minds. The confident and charismatic Prime Minister was one of Canada’s most long standing Prime Ministers and helped establish Canada’s sovereignty. Trudeau was born on October 18th, 1919 and lived a privileged life at home and was elected into office. He was elected as Canada’s fifteenth Prime Minister and as the head of the Liberal party from 1968-1971 and was elected again from 1980-1984 (biographi.ca). Trudeau made great strides for Canada from an economic and political point of view through his foreign policy; his work at unifying Canada through the Bilingual Act and Trudeau’s Multiculturalism policy; and lastly, the constitutional reform and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Prime Minister Mackenzie King is a large role for Canadian history because Canada had acquired greater independence from Britain by his leadership. He is most remembered for his leadership of Canada throughout World War II.

Lester B. Pearson was Canada’s 14th prime minister. His election led to the introduction of numerous important things through Canadian history. He had done a lot to develop Canada’s social, and economic state. The programs that he started are important towards placing Canada as a top nation in terms of cultural or intellectual conditions and security.

Lester B Pearson made a positive lasting impact on Canada. When he changed the way Canada fought wars by going into war with a peacekeeping role. Lester B pearson brought a peace keeping role to Canada. Lester B Pearson compromised the major war in the middle east. The war was between mainly the french Britain and egypt and the soviets. over the suez canal, Egypt wanted the british and french to leave or the soviets would use nuclear action. Lester B Pearson requested that the british and french withdrawal and the united nations would send in a peacekeeping group to control the area until an agreement was made. 2 years later an agreement was finally made and Lester looked to be a hero stopping a possible world war. Lester b Pearson ended up winning the nobel peace prize for stoppin an almost world war. What lester B Pearson did to show that that you can bring peace, is still used today in Canada as a peacekeeping country.

Canada has a history of wars and famous people that its citizens can be proud of. In the past one hundred years there have been events or people that have really made an impact on history. For example D-Day, on the first day Canada made more progress up the beach than any other country, it was a massive victory! A person that Canada can be proud of is Frederick Banting. He created insulin which is a medicine that helps control the effects of diabetes.

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.

From watching his dad become Prime Minister to becoming one himself, this fellow Canadian has impacted Canada the most!

Canada has been tested time after time, whether through war or with its own people, but it is because of this struggle that Canada has become the country it is today. Through World War 1, Canadians learned that unity is strength. Bringing people together to work towards a shared goal and to set aside differences, has proved to be effective during the war. While there was still ongoing discrimination towards those of different colour and gender, some of it were put aside to aid the Allies. Men of different ethnicities were able to join the Canadian forces, only if they met certain requirement however, and helped the army grow in numbers. Especially in battle did they move as one. The victory of Vimy Ridge united Canadians together and gave them pride for their country as well as the people serving her.

Many will find it hard to believe that under ninety years ago, women were not considered persons under the Canadian government. This may still be the case had it not been for Alberta’s Famous Five. The Famous Five were a group of strong female activists in the early nineteen hundreds who fought for women’s rights. They consisted of cabinet minister Irene Parlby, legal expert Henrietta Muir Edwards, novelist Nellie McClung, prohibitionist Louise McKinney and magistrate Emily Murphy. They all worked individually in their provinces in the west of Canada, advocating for their causes, whether it be suffrage, prohibition or for women to be recognized by the government. They played an integral role in the first wave of the feminist movement and led this change in Canadian society. The Famous Five promoted social change for Canada by providing women with role models, protesting against substances and elevating the status of women.
