Eulogy for Samuel De Champlain (1567-1635) 02/11/2010 We are have gathered here today, my friends, to say farewell to Monsieur Champlain... Samuel, my friend I can not believe that you are truly gone. After all the good times we had together. Do you remember on our voyage to New France. You got chosen by the King Of France to go on a fur-trading expedition as a geographer. After we travelled up the St. Lawrence river you used the information that you collected to make a very accurate map of Canada from Hudson Bay in the north down to the Great Lakes.
For these reasons Trudeau is without doubt one of the greatest Canadian’s of the 20th century. Pierre Elliot Trudeau had numerous accomplishments throughout his career which played an important role in Canadian politics. In 1969 Pierre Trudeau passed the Official Languages Act making French and English the two official languages of Canada. Trudeau believed that “all Canadians should capitalize on the advantage of living in a country which has learned to speak in two great world languages” (Craats, 21). This act enabled the law to give English and French equal status in the Canadian government.
We could not have Kept History without Canadian Talent Throughout the years, Canada has overcome many fears, faults, victories, battles, hardships and countries. Not only did the world come to know Canada as the great peacemaker, but also through Canadian broadcasting. The CBC and NFB helped preserve the identity of French-Canadians not only in broadcasting works but also in forming the way the culture itself is preserved. French-Canadians play a big part as well. It all started in 1929, the Royal Commission on Broadcasting (the Aird Commission) was known to ensure that Canada's cultural identity is reflected in the radio programming available to Canadians.
A popular mode of communication of the 1880s: telegrams were transmitted through a telegraph or a phone to convey messages as quickly as possible. Sir William Cornelius Van Horne, then the vice president of the Canadian Pacific Railway, addressed the telegram dated 7th November, 1885 in Document 2 to John Macdonald, the Prime Minister of Canada, to announce the completion of the Pacific Railway and to thank him for his role and policies that played an integral role towards it. Introduced as an opportunity to better connect the greatly populated western parts of Canada to its comparatively unpopulated eastern, the Pacific Railway was first talked about in the 1870s, close to the time of the Confederation of 1867 that made Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba and later British Columbia part of the Dominion of Canada. In 1873, Hugh Allan was granted federal contracts for the railway, which were only to be taken away once Hugh was revealed to have contributed greatly towards the election of Prime Minister Macdonald in turn for control of the company resulting in the “Pacific Scandal” that led to a reelection. Although the new Liberal Prime Minister, Alexander Mackenzie did put effort into the railway, due to the lack of capital progress slowed down.
We are part of the world’s mature nations, not an infant still needing a mother’s protection. Thirdly, Canada Flag has a red maple leaf on it. This display is distinctively Canadian. The Australian flag should have the same effect. Stars on flags had been widely used all around the world.
My first one is that if you feel pride in other Canadians’ achievements (ex. A Canadian winning gold at the Olympics) and in turn feel a greater sense of Nationalism, then you have internalized your feelings of nationalism. When the discovery of a treatment for diabetes that helped many people with diabetes and which was discovered by Fredrick Banting and Charles Best. There is the biggest tree called the Carmanah Giant home of some of the oldest and tallest trees in the country. Famous for its mammoth trees and the tallest known tree in Canada.
In Canada, the first large body of uniformed men appeared in 1665 with the CARIGNAN-SALIÈRES REGIMENT dressed in brown coats lined with white and grey, black hats and buff and black ribbons. Nations soon standardized the basic coat colours, though there were many exceptions. The colonial infantry companies that garrisoned New France from 1683 to 1760 had grey-white coats, the French infantry colour, with blue linings and cuffs. From 1716, the buttons were brass, the vest, breeches and stockings were blue, and a gold-laced tricorn was worn. The army regiments sent to Canada from 1755 until the Conquest of 1760 had the same dress with differences in colours, eg, the La Sarre Regiment had a red vest, with grey-white coat linings and grey-white breeches.
Germany was Unified by 1871 through “Iron and Blood.” How far do you agree ? The quote presented in the title, is a key component of the larger phrase “The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions ... but by iron and blood.”, presented to the Landtag (Prussian Parliament) in 1862 by the newly elected minister president Otto Von Bismarck. This phrase and the speech around it proved to consistently correspond with the Prussian Statesman's internal and foreign policies for the next 20 years, and summarized the method’s by which the future chancellor intended to bring about a unification of the german speaking world. The purpose of this essay, will be to analyze if the unification of Germany was : either as Bismarck himself claimed the fulfillment of a developed master plan which, brought itself about the circumstances which made unification possible ; or whether the unity of the nation in-fact arose from the circumstances themselves, which appeared because of a variety of distinct social and economic factors, whose correct analyzation, and exploitment eventually led to the unification of Germany. The answer is likely a mix of the two, I hope that by analyzing the context and circumstances surrounding the issue I will come up with a worthwhile conclusion.
The most famous boycott was the “Montgomery Bus Boycott” in 1955, which was led by Rosa Parks. The “March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom” is best remembered for the glorious “I have a dream” speech by Martin Luther King, Jr. Positive effects of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms: The Canadian Bill of Rights was enacted by Prime Minister John Diefenbaker in 1960. It was the first human rights bill to provide Canadians with semi-constitutional rights on a federal level. It was the earliest expression of human rights in Canada.
The Basilica of Saint Mary: Its Influences The United States of America’s first basilica, the Basilica of Saint Mary, happens to be in our very backdoor of Minnesota (Chiat 22). It is a grand sight that cannot be missed when driving east bound from the west suburbs before reaching the underground highway 94 tunnel. Furthermore, the Basilica of Saint Mary was constructed between 1907 and 1915 (Basilica 1), but does not lack the history and tradition of its well known ancestors of the 11th/12th century. It was also honored by Pope Pius IX and designed by a French Architect by the name of Emmanuel L. Masqueray who has won a number of architectural awards both in the United States and in Europe (Masquray 2). As reflected by its designer, the Basilica of Saint Mary is nothing short of magnificent - it also has adopted numerous architectural designs from its early Romanesque predecessors.
