Disadvantages: - According to critics, “the monarchical system brings with it a set of undemocratic values – elitism, privilege, etc.” Advantages: - The Crown has a role to play when unexpected crisis develop. It is a source of legitimate power that can be used “only when normal controls cannot operate and a crisis gets out of hand” So, if the Crown possesses no real power in most instances, where does executive power lie in the Canadian political system? Prime Minister and Cabinet: De facto power: - In a de facto sense it is the Prime Minister and his or her Cabinet that are the most powerful executive agents in the Canadian government Cabinet: - It is in the Cabinet that policy is decided upon - The Prime Minister alone decides the Membership of the Cabinet, but there are some constraints provided by convention (long-standing practices rather than legal requirements): - 1. “All Cabinet ministers must have a seat in Parliament:” - Elected Members of Parliament from the House of Commons - Or Senators - Those without a seat may be in Cabinet temporarily. However, by convention they must gain a seat in Parliament
Bonus Assignment A) To what extent was the imposition of liberal principles successful in Aboriginal communities in Canada? In Canada, the impositions of liberal principles in Aboriginal communities were not successful because Aboriginals have their own set of principles which differ from liberal principles. Liberal principles include private property, while Aboriginals believe that the land is there to be shared and enjoyed by all as concluded in the Laws of Nature. They (the Aboriginals) believe that the land belongs to the Creator. Aboriginals believe that people should work together in order to strive for group strength (Laws of Mutual Support).
It's a great stress reliever because I usually play it with my friends and it takes my mind off everything and makes me happy. Sometimes if I've been in the house too long I'll take my basketball and go to my hoop I in the back yard and do a couple layups. Lasting I love computer games, not many people know my alter ego but I'm a computer nerd. I play games like league of legends, path of exile, minecraft, hammerwatch, and many MANY more. Anyways video games are probably the best stress reliever for me even though basketball may be my favorite because it's like you can be in that alternate reality when you play them.
What does it mean to be Canadian? What do outsiders associate us with when they hear the phrase “I am a Canadian”? An identity, also called sameness, is whatever makes an entity definable and recognizable. Even though Canada is so large and diverse, little factors which make up the “Canadian Identity” are what make Canadians recognizable to each other, and the remainder of the world. According to the Molson Beer commercial “The Rant”, Canadians are stereotyped.
To look at early Canadian history we must view documents created by the earliest European settlers into Canada from France; however, this has a few notable disadvantages. Since the Canadian Natives orally delivered their past, it is hard to determine how accurate and how widely-accepted the facts of it would have been today. On the positive side of viewing the French settlers’ documents, we can see many common practices of the natives and learn about their society; for example we can see that there were no police or government, no monetary system, people worked together in harmony (for the most part), and the society existed based on the independence of each family and peacefulness among members its’ members, essentially. The disadvantage of the European documents, to start, is that they do not contain any of the emotions or thoughts of the natives. It is told that the natives are savages who do not understand the very nature of emotions such as “gout, stone, gravel, gall, colic, rheumatism,” however; it is likely that, as humans, they shared a large range of emotions in common with their European visitors and simply used different words for them or described the feelings in completely disparate ways.
The impact on the Canadian identity is that it shows Canada cares but it also gives Canada a voice on important decisions regarding the issues surrounding the oceans (Law of the sea1-2). The Mine Ban treaty is a human rights treaty that’s bans all use and production of mines and the group enforcing this is the International Campaign to Ban landmines. The treaty was signed in Ottawa 1997 and put into effect on March 1st 1999.the impact is positive as Canada is the inventor and one of the biggest contributors to the safety of this world so it only makes sense to sign it in the capital and Canada signed it because it continues to show how Canada cares for the safety and wellbeing of others
In 2002, the Canadian Hockey Association and Palmer Jarvis introduced a campaign designed to create awareness about inappropriate parental behavior at hockey games(Relax, It’s Just a Game 1-4). The campaign is called ‘Relax, it’s just a game’ and has since been a huge success in making parents and fans aware of the dark side of hockey bullying. Though some incidents still occur, for the most part, parents respect the game, officials and players on the ice. Just like in any sport of aspect in life, there are bound to be a few rotten apples that try to spoil the whole
Students in Canada taking English should study Canadian literature because we are completely overtaken by the foreign cultures around us. This is a Canadian tradition because we have always been a part of another country starting with England and France meaning that our own culture has never had the chance to develop and flourish since we have always been under the thumb of a different culture. For years, students would study Shakespeare and other British writers; they may have also studied American authors such as Fitzgerald. But many schools limit student’s exposure to Canadian novels within ISP reading lists. In this sense, Canada is an attic in which we have stored American and British literature without considering our own (Davies, Letters in Canada 426).
In Canadian society, the disabled-bodied are not given chances to create awareness for themselves in different events which ranges from local events to international events. The able-bodied population are accepted by majority of the Canadian society; majority of Canadian people believes that the disabled-bodied people are not capable as the able-bodied people and discriminate because of their abilities which affected by their disability. Olympics is an example that illustrates the able-bodied population have more opportunities in various events that the disabled-bodied population. It elaborates that the abled-bodied communities are superior to the disabled-bodied communities in several different ways. Therefore, ableism in Canada illustrates the open discrimination towards the
Canada’s Arctic is one of the few places left on earth that is essentially untamed by modern civilization. It contains many unique species, natural wonders such as the Northern lights, ice sheets that are over 29 cubic km of ice. For most of the year this great land is frozen and uninhabitable by humans aside from the Inuit people, the Inuit have been living amongst the ice since the beginning of recorded history. We know this from the oral stories that the Inuit have told over the years and the records that early explorers such as Robert Peary who in the late 1800’s lead many escapades into the Arctic and brought their stories back with them. With their help Europeans (now Canadians) were able to settle in some areas of the Arctic allowing
