When looking at Canada as a whole, we often tend to overlook the past events of Indigenous groups who have suffered through Colonialism. As I read about this issue, I felt sympathy for the Indigenous peoples, as it was overwhelming for me to find out that this much discrimination has occurred in a nation as diverse and developed as Canada. Reading more about colonization helped me to make connections between the issues and topics I have learned about in class, and how they can be traced back to European
Politics Before Confederation Now that we have seen Cartier’s part in the rebellions of 1837, it’s time to move on to what happened after, leading up to Confederation. After George Etienne Cartier returned from exile to Vermont in 1839, he started practicing law again in Montreal(Sweeny). He even teamed up with one of his brothers who also practiced law, as I mentioned before(Bonenfant).

The Macdonald coffee scolding case exemplifies the need for companies to pay attention to quality control policies within their respective companies, as well as pay attention to their customer’s opinion. While taking into consideration that accidents happens when you least expect, I am inclined to say that customer should bear some of the blame (very little of the blame).Macdonald on the other hand, based on the handing of their customers complaints regarding their injuries while consuming product
tourists do humble themselves, become transformed into marvelously real beings, and remain in heaven. But most don't, about which the great Scottish author George MacDonald, Lewis' heavenly guide, says, “They may not be rejecting the truth of heaven now.

Needed. That is just one of the many words that pop into my mind when I hear the word Confederation. My fellow fathers of confederation as many of you may already know I am John. A. Macdonald and I am very much in favor of confederation. When I was just a little boy I moved from Scotland to amazing Canada West. That is who I am here representing.
