Trudeau

Since its inception in 1982 the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, very much like its primary architect Pierre Trudeau, has been one of the most celebrated yet controversial elements of Canadian politics and governance. Revealing how this dynamic emerged requires a nuanced understanding of the motivation behind the Charter and the techniques it employed to succeed. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, like the entire patriation process, was motivated by and mobilized support through

understand the federalist perspective we must look at Trudeau, Health, and Pelletier. Trudeau argues that Quebec nationalism is illogical as it stands in the way of progress. As such he feels that it existence is not something to promote but rather something to get rid of. Thus this work holds that any sort of recognition of Quebec nationalism is too much recognition, and as such by doing nothing we have done enough. Health holds that Trudeau attempted to undermine Quebec nationalism with Canadian

stuffed in the trunk of a green Chevrolet. In Ottawa, government sources said the FLQ assassinated Laporte because War Measures was enacted. The tension that night was palpable. John Turner, the minister of justice, looked distraught. In his office, Trudeau ministers Gerard Pelletier and Jean Marchand were weeping openly at the death of an old friend and colleague. Early in December 1970, police discovered the location of the kidnappers holding James Cross. He was released after his FLQ captors were

Canadian Contribution as a middle power and their adaptation from foreign policy between Harper and Trudeau has allowed Canada to continue to be a major factor in global politics. Many changes the Harper made to the current government system are being continued by Trudeau. Canada’s role as a middle power has allowed us to remain neutral on many occasions. Many historians of Canadian foreign affairs have affixed the postwar period as the “Golden age of Canadian Diplomacy.” As a middle power Canada

mostly because of the humor attached to it. I have always loved political cartoons and too see the ideas behind them directly from the author was impressive. Another humorous aspect was the laughter; I was not expecting any to begin with and to see Trudeau making jokes and to have politics discussed during elaborate lunches with fantastic food – it was enlightening and borderline delightful to

History 803 Week Five Reading Reflections Two things stood out to me this week: the first was just how much emphasis was put on the Gomery inquiry, and its impact on Canadian politics and its similarities to current Canadian politics. The second was how larger the concept of neoliberalism loomed in the global community in the two years before the Great Recession, which has come under fierce criticism in contemporary politics both in Canada and internationally. The Gomery Inquiry loomed large

Pierre Laporte. The October Crisis also represents Canada’s only encounter with domestic terrorism and the third time the War Measures Act was invoked. The decision to invoke the War Measures Act was a controversial one made by Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa since it imposed national martial law. Upon examination of the FLQ’s actions during the October Crisis, the response from the federal government and the impact on Quebec nationalism and the rest of Canada, it is

Introduction In this study, I’m focusing on the correlation of voters’ behaviors about the Liberal party of Canada in the 2015 election. The relationship between Justin Trudeau and the party and what effects to gain more votes, pros and cons, the strengths and the weaknesses among different group of the voters. I did comparisons between the main three Canadian parties (Liberal, Conservative, NDP) and did a research report to help to understand the correlates of their support. This research provides

As a Canadian in today’s society we believe we have a certain set of inalienable rights. One of those rights that seem to be at the forefront of the 2015 Canadian election is privacy. As Dr. Kent Roach and Dr. Craig Forcese state, “privacy is, in our society, the right to be left alone by the state.” The Conservative upbringing of Bill C-51 challenges the ideology around our right to be private, as well as our government’s role in the protection of Canada from threats of terrorism. The Harper government

Pierre Elliotte Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada during the 1970s, was the man who saved Quebec from separating from Canada by using the War Measures Act very effectively. At that time, Quebec was in a bad situation because of a terrorist group called the FLQ (Front de libération du Québec), that had been bombing Quebec since 1963 and gathering people to carry violent demonstrations and destruction. The situation got worse by each passing day as the FLQ’s revolutionary movement turned into terrorism
