Wilfrid Laurier, the man on our five dollar bill. Who is he, you ask? Well, he was arguably one of Canada's greatest prime ministers. Some might say that he was a good or bad leader, but that is all in your perspective. He was a good leader, he also possessed the qualities of leader that the class chose. Wilfrid was open-minded, loyal and influential. Firstly, he was open-minded. He wanted to unite English and French Canadians. Although he knew that uniting them would be a difficult task

The green papers flew in the air as I swam threw the piles,cautious as to where to step, but at the same time enjoying myself. I swam to the other end in my bronze coloured, two thousand dollar swimsuit. Half way I was stopped, not by someone, but something. A paper cut. I grab the paper and rip it up in anger, losing one hundred dollars. I fetch Jameson and tell him to get me a Band-Aid. Putting on my shirt, my phone rang. I quickly finished buttoning and attached my golden Rolex watch, glancing

I used to believe that we could be anything that we wanted to be, as long as we wanted it enough; that was around age 13. I still believe that we can be anything we want to be, with a few changes to that belief: it has to fit in to the status quo, be accepted by those around you, and provide you with enough money to live in what society perceives as a comfortable and successful lifestyle. Although a lot has changed since American political activist Mario Savio wrote the article “An End to History”

“Our first duty is to win, at any cost!” Sir Robert Borden played an important role as Canadian Prime Minister during World War I, and while he is to be praised, he also to be held accountable for his actions; especially in the passing of Bills through parliament. Sir Robert Borden had not a great vision but more so a motto to live up to (to strive for), a country to lead in a worldwide war, and decisions that if not taken in a certain light, would have disrupted the newly forming “peaceful” dominion

Conscription was a very controversial issue considering the outcomes of this law. It would force men to provide overseas military service unwillingly. Non-compulsory recruitment was neglecting to keep up troop numbers and as an imperialist Prime Minister Sir Robert Borden believed that the war was the only way for Canada to be seen as more than a colony. Many French-Canadians, farmers, pacifists and union heads opposed the conscription bill, but Prime Minister Borden was determined to establish

Wilfrid Laurier University is famous for its alumni connections and world-class co-op programs. I would like to leverage these opportunities to develop an advanced education as well as reinforce my networking skills. The Laurier has a very positive atmosphere that I believe will greatly contribute to my learning Experience. With Canada being an increasingly multicultural nation, knowing more than one language is beneficial when it comes to opportunities. I could use my proficiency in both English

My name is Kyobeom (or K.B.) Koo, and I am pursuing a PhD in marketing to become an expert researcher in consumer behaviour. My goal is to generate research insights to help consumers, managers, and institutions make better decisions. Given my career goal, pursuing a PhD at UBC represents the next logical step.

According to their web site, the Global Studies department at Wilfred Laurier University seeks to discuss the responsibilities privileged society has in a world stricken by war and poverty. It seeks to answer how; if possible, it is to ‘think globally’ and ‘act locally’ (Donais, n.d.). In my research I delve into the truth of these statements by exploring the question; how does the Global Studies curriculum at Wilfrid Laurier University reproduce colonial discourses? This subject is

I wholeheartedly believe that Sir Wilfrid Laurier is not only the greatest Canadian Prime Minister of all time, but the greatest Canadian to ever live. I believe this statement to be true due to Laurier’s unparalleled ability to truly unite Canadians, despite significant cultural, social, and language barriers, his unique ability to simultaneously embrace Canada’s Anglophone and Francophone heritage, and his penchant for achieving compromises in challenging political situations.
