This article talks about Liberal leader Justin Trudeau and his vow to bring Canadians together as one and to make Canada an open, confident and hopeful country. At a rally in Brampton, Ontario, he criticizes Stephen Harper’s “small and fearful” vision of Canada and promises to change that. Trudeau uses a direct quote of Franklin Roosevelt (“We have nothing to fear but fear itself”) to compare Harper’s plan for Canada saying that he has nothing to offer us but fear. Trudeau states that it’s a prime minister’s job to build Canadians up and together, not to tear us apart. Nearly 5 000 supporters attended the rally and it ironically took place in Brampton because it is one of Canada’s most ethnically diverse cities. Half of the population are immigrants
Pierre Elliot Trudeau was arguably one of the most vivacious and charismatic Prime Ministers Canada has ever seen. He wore capes, dated celebrities and always wore a red rose boutonniere. He looked like a superhero, and often acted like one too. Some of the landmark occurrences in Canadian history all happened during the Trudeau era, such as patriating the constitution, creating the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the 1980 Quebec Referendum. However, it is Trudeau’s 1969 “white paper” and the Calder legal challenge which many consider to be one of his most influential contributions to Canadian history.
Harper used the weak liberal leaders to ensure he stayed in power and he was able to ensure that a coalition did not happen between the Liberals, New Democrats and the Bloc Quebecois. He remained strong when the possibility of his government being replaced by a coalition almost happened, he was successful by saying that the deal the liberals made was “‘a betrayal of the voters of this country… a betrayal of the best interests of our economy… a betrayal of the best interests of our country. And we will fight it with every means that we have’” (223). Harper kept his opponents divided and he showed Canadians that he was not going anywhere. Finally, he showed leadership after winning a majority by promising “‘major reforms’ in ‘a whole range of areas’ to ‘secure the sustainability of our key programs… for a generation to come’” (364). This showed that he was just getting started. Stephen Harper’s leadership style was to remain a strong leader while making as few headlines as possible. Harper did not like making headlines, “This helps explain why he has lasted. He lies low because he wants to last” (291). Harper was an effective leader because he knew how to keep a low profile which limited the amount of bad
Pierre Trudeau was Canada’s leading activist for equalizing the rights gap between men and women in the 1960’s. Specifically, he agreed with the Canadians who wanted birth control as a contraceptive to be legalized. Also, he fought for both genders to be part of the Canadian government. Furthermore, he was an underlying compeller who wanted people’s rights to be accepted and acknowledged by the government. His take on society differed from past governments; and since he was a figure of authority at that time in Canada’s political history, Canadians would listen to him and respect the decisions he made as a politician to create a positive outcome on his nation.
It has now been over two, and a half years since us citizens have decided to nominate Justin Pierre James Trudeau as the 23rd Prime Minister of Canada. Justin Trudeau may be an appealing Prime Minister to many, but many Canadians are failing to understand that he is forbidding Canada to propel forward and to meet its true potential in many facets. Not many actions Justin Trudeau raised have affected Canada vastly in the past two years, at least not for the good. Trudeau has also been operating in contrast to his pledges such as the tax promises. ( Financial Post, 27 Sept. 2017.) Ever since November 2015 (when Trudeau was elected), citizens (especially middle class) had high hopes, and were lead to dismay, and over the course of time, began

Pierre Trudeau`s legacy presents evidence that indicates he was the most influential figure in Canadian history. Throughout his career, his belief of a distinct Canada apart from Britain has grown and has developed into many important decisions for Canada to solidify Canada`s reputation among the world (Bibliography par. 1). Moreover, he strongly believed in a unified country with Quebec, thus completely rejecting the idea of Quebec separatism, which helped develop Canada`s multiculturalism (1980 Referendum par. 3). Lastly, he believed in full acceptance of culture and language, therefore he played a significant role in the creation of official bilingualism. (Bibliography par. 1). Clearly, Pierre Trudeau has powerfully impacted Canada by prominently

Opposing the belief that a dominating leader is running Canada, Barker brings up several key realities of the Canadian government. He gives examples of several “… instances of other ministers taking action that reveal the limits prime-ministerial power,” (Barker 178). Barker conveys the fact that Canada is not bound by a dictatorial government, “…it seems that the prime minister cannot really control his individual ministers. At times, they will pursue agendas that are inconsistent with the prime minister’s actions,” (Barker 181). Both inside and outside government are a part of Canada and they can remind the prime minister that “…politics is a game of survival for all players,” (Barker 188). Barker refutes the misinterpretation of the Canadian government by acknowledging that a prime-ministerial government existing in Canada is an overstatement.

The day I had been waiting for had finally come; it was October 29, 2015, and I was going to vote for the federal election at Thistletown C.I.'s school cafeteria just like any other Canadian citizen. There were two main reasons as to why I wanted to vote that day; one was because I wanted to see a change in Canada and another was that I didn't want the Conservatives to win again since I didn't agree with some of their promises. I voted for the New Democratic Party because their promises in jobs, families, and healthcare can help Canada become more prosperous, affordable. The party which didn't impress me as much was the Conservative Party because their promises on energy and environment, manufacturing and infrastructure, and public finances
