Sir John A. Macdonald Confederation Speech History Assignment Kaltun Abdirahman Dave Nesbitt CHI4U 07/11/14 Honourable members, in this speech I would like to state some of the internal and external factors that influence the confederation of Canada.

Union resulted in expansion to central Canada, causing a decline in the industrial development and immigration to the Atlantic coast and Maritime Provinces. It also brought upon threats of American invasions. Both the United States and Britain held contending claims to various regions in the western interior of the continent. The lowly populated Rupert’s Land in western Canada was very vulnerable to becoming overtaken by American forces. Americans operated on the belief of Manifest Destiny, in which they believed it was their nation’s destiny to control the whole North American continent.

The continued power grab will destroy the capitalist system shackling the limbs of the free market. The regulation imposed creates factions limiting the ease of market entry. The environment that our American business calls home must remain competitive assuring quality goods to consumers while encouraging technological advancements. The path our federal government is currently on is a path of non-democratic regulation that is a threat to the growth and prosperity of our country. It is simply a matter of the true meaning of the Constitution, specifically the commerce clause that must be addressed.
Running Head: The Craftsman Spectacle Craftsmen’s Spectacle: Labour Day Parades in Canada, The Early Years Name of the student College Instructor Course Craftsmen’s Spectacle: Labour Day Parades in Canada, The Early Years Introduction The article “The Craftsmen’s Spectacle: Labour Day Parades in Canada, The Early Years” focuses on the history of labour relations in Canada.

This is due to the fact that the special rights given to Aboriginals under a “citizens plus” approach could be applied to all members of this group, regardless of where they
Essentially they are forcing us to do just that. We Canadian tax-payers are financially supporting people who should be supporting themselves and we have zero say in the matter.
