Nova Scotia's Imperial Expansion

In John Muir’s essay “The Calypso Borealis” he shows his love for flowers when he said “it seems so wonderful that so frail and lovely a plant has much power over human hearts.” William Wordsworth also shows his love towards nature when he wrote his poem “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud,” he shows the joy he finds in nature when he said “ten thousand saw I at a glance, tossing their heads in a sprightly dance.” Both John Muir and William Wordsworth find happiness and joy in nature, but express it in different way. Muir and Wordsworth had to go through the worst to discover the beauty of nature. Throughout both John Muir and William Wordsworth exciting adventure, they experienced two totally different aspects with nature.

The fact that many of the Saskatchewan farmers, the core of the party’s support base were also either of British descent, or identified as being part of a British Saskatchewan, made it easy for the farmers to identify with a political party modeled on after the British party organization and British socialist and labour ideology as the foundation for the party’s ideology. The farmers were also culturally, for all intense and purposes, British, and recognized, even in the economically prosperous times of the 1920s, that they needed the sort of reform that the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation advocated: “We need… co-operation in each class, leading to complete co-operation between classes… we all [need] to all awake to the need of working together for the good of the whole community.” Not only is this eerily similar to the party’s literature of the 1930s and 1940s, but it also illustrates the class consciousness of the farmers, as well as the urban and rural divide. This was also adopted from British socialist and Labour parties and again found a receptive audience among those, urban and rural, anxious for social and economic

In 1865 Nova Scotia decided to build a railway to link all colonies. They tried to convince the government. However, they thought that they had a little influence in the government .hey also worried about having higher taxes. Nova scotia thought about joining the United states of America but people were still loyal to Great Britain.Will building the railway lose ties with Great Britain

During the era of Pre-Confederation Canada, Upper Canadians and Lower Canadians showed very different views on the state of Canada. Notably, Upper Canadians struggled to hold fast to social class, down-right refusing to remove barriers of social class in order to remain within the jurisdiction of the privileges of Britain. Consequently, a common view on the country at the time wasn’t that of Canada – an individual colony on its own, but as a wasteland to be conquered. Hence, Upper Canada was focused on construction and urban development, rather than industry.

The city of Halifax provokes the tragic memories of the 1977 Halifax Explosion (Halifax History Facts and Timeline, 2016). However, Halifax is the provincial capital of Nova Scotia and it is famous for its magnificent Atlantic coast. Also, Halifax has undergone huge urban development and economic growth and is now recognized as one of the largest coastal cities in Canada regarding its historical, physical, economic and cultural diversities.(62)

Wordsworth questions the amount of recognition that nature gets from people in today society. He almost uses a guilt trip method to make his reader ask themselves if they have given nature the tribute it deserves. When I was assigned to read this text, I found myself so wound up in school and activities and busy work. So much so that I hadn’t had time to enjoy things around me and the things out the window or under my feet. “Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: little we see in Nature that is ours; we have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!” (page 790, line2) This text approached me at a perfect time to help me to step back and appreciate the small things that surround me each day. Senior year can be overwhelming more than once and it is always a refreshing breath to stop and smell the roses, metaphorically and literally. Therefore, I am thankful for the impact that this text had on me and the timing of its

Nova Scotia has been suffering economically and socially for the past three decades and the newly elected government are eager to introduce new solutions to help Nova Scotia recover and prosper.

The author enlightens the disadvantages of the Canadian geography. The poet emphasizes the fact that our geography is held accountable for the weakness of the citizens due of it's vast size. She also mentions five prime geographic regions by sharing the representations of these regions: The mountains symbolize British Columbia, the grain elevator and the prairie represents The Prairies, the maple leaf and the the Niagara Fall refers to Ontario and Quebec, a trail beside the Atlantic alludes to the Maritimes and lastly, a glacial shield refers to the far North. The immensity of Canada can essentially result in regional isolation that has the potential to stop a strong Canadian identity from rising.

Modern Canada was introduced to the global village of communication through fields like the internet and radio, allowing for a broader area of global discussion that could bring about ideas as to how Canada can deal with its geographic limitations. While the populated areas of Canada have advanced over time, it enabled the collection of knowledge over the country through study where the most livable and preferred conditions are often shaped through construction to fit the needs of modern Canadians. However, there are still limitations laid about over Canada, such as the locations and occasional colliding of tectonic plates as its varied landscape of regions can lead to a few changes that need to be made to support an area for human life,

Halifax, Nova Scotia has grown significantly over the past one hundred years. It has developed immensely economically, geographically as well as in population. Many factors have contributed to the evolution of this traditional Atlantic Ocean port city into one of the most modern cities in Canada. Its growth has been mad possible by many of its important geographical characteristics that have become the envy of many seaboard towns across North America. Its drastic incline in population since confederation, has been helped by Pier 2 and 21 which was where many immigrants set foot on Canadian soil for the first time.(1) As the population of Halifax increased the city needed to expand geographically in order to house the thousands of new

Through the Economic advisory panel, Nova Scotia has to control its own economy destiny and in the global economy. It has to adopt a much more disciplined and strategic approach in order to take advantage of the opportunities new emerging in the global market and the success of this government will be determined by its willingness to make the tough choices that can move Nova Scotia along this path.

In contrast Coleridge follows a similar attachment to nature as he objects the growingly glorified industrial era around him. Similar to Wordsworth, Coleridge dictates through literary techniques of personification deliberating that “there is no melancholy in a nature”. He imitates that no doom from such industrialisation can be inflicted upon nature, as it stands as an outward force unable to be harmed. He consequently detaches nature from the revolution and world surrounding him, distancing the melancholy of the industrialisation from the purity of nature. Coleridge however rightly addresses those “who lose the deepening twilights of the springs in ball room and hot theatres”, as ones who inherit doomed loss of nature as a result of their acceptance to the ugliness imposed by the industrial century. Both Wordsworth and

The beauty and wonders of nature are inexplicably alluring. In the nonfiction essay “Down The River”, Edward Abbey successfully conveys this attitude in his description of his time in the Aravaipa Canyon. By observing his surroundings and comparing nature to human life, Abbey expresses a peaceful admiration, blended with a mystical attitude and respect toward nature. Abbey’s awe and fascination for nature is prominent throughout his essay. For him, nature can never fully be understood, and man will never be able to comprehend the complexity of the universe. Abby's attitude toward nature is one of peacefulness and respect, made evident by his constant admiration and appreciation towards it.

In this poem, William Wordsworth deals with very contemporary issues. Even the title, “The world is too mush with us’ is surprising. He lived in then19th century, and it seems even back then people had already seen that human beings are destroying Earth and taking nature for granted. It is clear Wordsworth wrote this poem to try making people aware of their action and outcomes. Wordsworth was a man who was passionate about nature, and this poem demonstrates the importance of it through imagery, personification, and allusion. The poem explore the lack of appreciation humanity has for the natural world. It uses simile to create vivid imagery. An example of a quote is when he says, “And are gathered up like now sleeping flowers.”It is a simile that creates visual imagery by visualizing people as sleeping flowers. He uses this simile to show that humans do not

Both poems have similar attitude towards modern society. Wordsworth writes “Little we see in Nature that is ours;” (3) to imply that modern civilization is gradually shying away from living in the nature and move to the big city, as Wordsworth called “we are out of tune;” (8). Because Wordsworth despite the modern value of nature, he “rather be/A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn;” (9-10). And his hated toward modern civilization reflected on his action of living in a rural district.
