Why Canadian Americans Came To Canada

Canada is a nation built on immigration, and as the world becomes an ever increasingly hostile place more and more have chosen to try and make Canada their home. This melting pot of different cultures has created an overall atmosphere of acceptance, and is teaching younger generations a sense of community, empathy, and togetherness. Sharing our space and learning to grow with different ethnicities has perpetuated our status as a friendly, caring, and loyal nation, that many are willing to risk everything for in exchange for becoming a part of it.

In this research paper, I will be explaining how western colonialism and racism destroyed the reputation of aboriginal peoples in Canada. The reason why I chose this topic because it shows the strong relationship to anthropology and after taking aboriginal studies 30, it also shows that I have a clear understanding about the history of aboriginal peoples in Canada, the struggles they have been through over the past decade and the challenges they still face today in modern day society. I’ll be addressing these issues in a couple of paragraphs on the discrimination and the inequalities of these “minorities” and how they had to assimilate into European culture, leaving their way of life behind them.

Even though Canada is holds the 2nd position from all nations for its tolerance and inclusion, Canada has a more atrocious racism problem than the US. In comparison to the African-American population, the Aboriginal population is treated worse with bountiful hardships, obscene education and bad living conditions (). Nearly all measurable indicators of the Aboriginals are worse than the African-American population including the unemployment rate (). Additionally, Canada fails to supply the Aboriginals with health care especially when Aboriginals have dreadful health issues (). Overall, Canada faces a racial and appalling crisis in its hands when it comes to the circumstances involving Canada’s native people. The last feature that I am not proud of in Canada is its environment. Canada is practically dead last when it involves environmental protection (). Even though Canada has some greenbelts and parks for wildlife and biodiversity, in large amounts of Canada the wildlife habitats and ecosystems are not preserved and nothing is done to prevent species at the risk of

Black civil rights in Canada have changed immensely over the last century, giving black Canadians a sense of identity and equal opportunity within Canadian communities. This document provides a detailed overview of the struggles, oppression, and changes that individuals went through, as well as the changes they enacted into the Canadian system to improve the living standards of black Canadians. The purpose of those like (insert people’s names) and their causes are explained in detail; but also gives a background on each person’s life and the struggles that they themselves dealt with when they first moved to Canada. Some groups or movements are also touched on in detail, and how they had an impact on the way civil rights changed both socially and politically as they were eye-opening experiences for the Canadian government and its citizens.

In the eyes of many Canadians our country is viewed as a historically racially-inclusive society. This idea is false, and there is very limited evidence to support the contrary. Many events in Canada’s history have shows that it is guilty of promoting racial hierarchies and cultural insensitivities. Throughout Canada’s development there has always remained an emphasis on promoting the supremacy of the white race, and Anglo-Canadian culture.

French Canadians have been coming to the United States since the early 1500’s. They’ve come for freedom, enjoyment and some have even been forced to come by higher powers. In this essay I mostly focus on the late 1600’s through the mid 1700’s. Throughout the late 1600’s and the 1700’s thousands of French Canadians were forced and willingly came to the United States. My first reason is about 6,500 French Canadians who were forced to come to America for refusing to take an oath to the King of England.

Pluralism is an integral part of Canadian culture and our society would be far behind if not for the contributions of citizens of all backgrounds, especially the black Canadians. Through the work of Mary Ann Shadd toward the freedom of blacks, the improvement of the Canadian media and women’s suffrage, we can see the immense benefits that black Canadians have provided this nation. Black Canadians such as Mary Ann Shadd exemplify the rich heritage and identity of Canadian society. The advanced society of Canada was showcased by Mary Ann Shadd in promoting the freedom of blacks, a contribution valued in our identity.

Have you ever heard that Canadians are the nicest people? It turns out, this wasn’t always true. In the late 1800’s a lot of European immigrants came to Canada seeking land, freedom, and pardon from their military service. In 1914, the first camp was opened. Canadians believed that central Europeans were a threat to their security. “After the outbreak of war, many civilians with links to Germany, Turkey and the Austro-Hungarian Empire (including Ukraine and other parts of central Europe) were arrested and vetted as possible threats to Canadian security” (1). The Canadians are similar to the Americans because the Americans treated the Japanese-Americans like they were dangerous no matter who they were just because they looked like the

Looking back in Canadian History, numerous black Canadians have taken part in defining a universal and diverse heritage of Canada through numerous achievements and contributions traded by sacrifices of those throughout the years. Is is the actions of these people who have shaped, our national semiotics to become accepting. Building the acceptance through such of protest and perseverance, as they have shaped and continue to shape and develop Canada as a nation. Even though they have gone, they will never be forgotten as their impacts will prosper.

What does being Canadian mean to you? Safety? Freedom? Maple syrup perhaps? Canada as a nation is perceived as a powerhouse of a country with a great humanitarian force. With the recent influx of refugees, a GDP of $51,958.38 per capita, and a humanitarian Prime Minster, one could definitely say and that Canada appears to be treating its citizens right, on the surface. But, underneath the surface of public perception is the dark truth that 's remained hidden for decades but never been acknowledged . That being, the staggering 1017 Aboriginal women and girls who were murdered or have gone missing between the years of 1980 and 2012, a rate that is 4.5 times higher than any other racial group of women in Canada that continues to grow daily

One of the most contentious issues in Canada’s history is that of the Metis. Some people feel this unique group of people does not deserve any sort of recognition, whereas others believe their unique history and culture is something to be recognized and cherished. The history of the Metis people is filled with struggle; not only struggles against other powers, but also a struggle for self-identification. Despite strong opposition, the Metis people of Canada have matured as a political force and have taken great strides towards being recognized as a unique people.

Every community in Canada, whether it is large or small, is a gold mine of diversity, tradition, culture and much history. It’s the familiarity, knowledge of their heritage, and sense of belonging at school, work, home, or their place of worship, that strengthens their identity or who they are as Canadians. If someone identified as Canadian, it means they are a part of Canada’s society. To be Canadian means freedom. Canadians have the freedom to think for themselves, speak what they believe, and live their life with no limits. Because of this freedom, they have certain character traits and qualities. Simply, Canadians contain a certain Canadian attitude, the recognition of Canadian multiculturalism and prominently, Canadian pride.

Welcome good friend to the brand new state of New Canada! What once was a corrupt country north of the center of the world (U.S.) is now the 55th state to the American Empire. The year is 2050, and almost five years since the ending of the Third World War. Five years post war and civilization is still in a state of recovery, which is why we bring Americans a piece of the past and a bit of familiarity with the grand opening of New Canada’s capitol building. We do this to honor the fallen and help Canadians assimilate into American Culture.

Within this essay I’m going to be comparing the Irish, and the Chinese. Both had their hardships and were treated poorly, one more so than the other (to me at least). To me that group was the Irish, and I’ll now explain why; The Irish: Most of the Irish population was forced to emigrate because of the potato famine. They were promised work, food, housing, and clothes if they came to settle in North America. Often the landlords of houses would evict families.

Secondly, Carrie Best was able to make a difference because she was not selfish and cared about others. A woman by the name of Viola Desmond went to a town unfamiliar to her and she mistakenly sat in the locally known “whites-only” section of a theatre. Although she offered to pay the difference in ticket price to remain in her seat, she was arrested, convicted, and fined. Carrie Best heard the story and wrote about it. Viola and Carrie organized other Blacks to lobby the Nova Scotia government which finally repealed the law of segregation in 1954(1). Carrie never knew Viola Desmond prior to that situation, but she still helped her case and they won in the end. In addition, When Carrie stopped publication of her own newspaper in 1956, Carrie
