Because they were occupied with the Napoleonic Wars they could only supply 5000 troops to Canada to help repel the American advances. The leadership of upper Canada were uncertain of the loyalty of the inhabitants, many acts of treason and mutiny occurring at the start if the war. Because of this Sir Issac Brock felt the need to go on the offensive to gain the trust of the people. Sir Issac Brock said “there can be no doubt that a large portion of the population of this neighbourhood are sincere in their professions to defend this country, but it appears like likewise evident to me that the greater part are either indifferent to what is passing, or so completely American as to rejoice in the prospects of a change in governments”[1]. This is his reasoning for why he needs to gain the trust of the people.
The Metis looked to Riel for leadership and supported him. It was a good thing to stand up what he believed in. He had led 2 rebellions: the Red River Resistance and the Northwest Rebellion, just to gain Metis rights
In the United States, they have also adopted systems to ensure limits of the abuse of power. However, the system of checks and balances in the United States is often based on mistrust and suspicion of other branches of government. In Canada, the different branches of government work together (almost as a team) towards the common goal of upmost equality and liberty for all citizens. The Canadian political system is also much more welfare-state oriented compared to the United States' individualist and capitalist tendencies. Regardless of whether a Conservative or a Liberal is in executive power, the needs of minority groups are always clearly represented in the passing of legislation.
Canadians have always stood for their country as and when need be . I believe that Canadians as and when need be will stand up for their country and serve it in any way possible . As happened in World War 2and 3 , many Canadians felt a strong surge in National Unity . Deaths of its people in these wars united the Canadians together and gave them a strong and poignant memories .Unity is essentially a feeling of patriotism and for Canadians it is their connect that they feel with their motherland that unites them to it . Our citizens are truly defined by the surge they feel when they see the army , the soldiers and the respect that they show for them .
Therefore, Canada needs to compete with other countries and make sure we get the highly skilled immigrants (Chase, 2012). In my view, the issue of highly skilled workers being forced by circumstances to work as unskilled workers in Canada is a pressing problem and once addressed will result in economic progress and greater need for unskilled workers and their families. In conclusion, the two issues related to Canada’s immigration policy related to skilled workers and unskilled workers are connected and I do not agree with Stephan Castles characterization of it as “either/ or ” scenario, in his argument. This course has a particular Canadian focus on the global context of which immigration takes place, racial relations and the causes and outcomes of immigration. Stephen Castles’ argument fits into the broader themes of the course because similar to the course, it gives a Canadian focus, and a focus on the outcomes of immigration.
They were disappointed with the queen and the Canadian government, some chiefs wrote letters saying that their people won’t celebrate the Queen’s day and that she hasn’t been the good mother to them. Also they mentioned that she must know that the B.C. government has pushed the Indians off their land and that if she is such a great person and powerful Victoria should help give some of it back. Chief Joseph, a Coast Salish chief, said to Franz Boas, “When you get there go to the Queen and tell her: ‘Three men came and made treaties and said it was the Queen’s land. That made our hearts sad and we are mad at the three men, but we not angry at the Queen Victoria.’” The First Nations might have complained about the about the queen’s government, but they weren’t going to criticize Queen Victoria directly.
Canada is a home to many proud Canadians, but it wasn’t always like this. Well this country broke through many boundaries and climbed high, to have what we have now. Events from the past have made what is now Canada. We have our fellow Canadians to thank for that. Canadian soldiers, who have fought for our country and sacrificed their lives to make Canada a beautiful and peaceful to call home.
Canada proved itself to be a force that doesn’t need someone to tell them what to do by helping other countries and winning battles by themselves. Post Second World War changed Canada. By now Canada’s reputation is substantial and is known for helping the world when it is in dire need of help. Canada also asserted its independence by creating a flag for itself symbolizing that it deserves to be its own independent nation. Without Canada participating in all of these World Affairs, Canada might not have had the chance to prove themselves worthy of being an independent nation.
For example, coming back to lawyers, the Law Society must provide individual-study programs for foreign-trained lawyers to help them achieve a Canadian level of the law. I also firmly believe that these programs should be paid for by the professional bodies themselves, with some assistance by the federal government. Canada has such a huge potential that is just waiting to be harvested. Right now, we have our apartment buildings cleaned by doctors and have ourselves chauffeured to the airport by university professors and engineers. At the same time, more and more Canadians are becoming frustrated with having to deal with people that do not speak any of our official languages.
Canada to accept fewer relatives of immigrants, Canada’s broken immigration system, and Love story’s end sparks anger argue that Canada should minimize the number of people coming to Canada by setting policies that prevent them. Whereas Power of the Punjabi press under attack and Presents at Christmas and hopes for brighter future discuss individuals from developing countries who come to Canada looking forward in having a brighter future by working hard even though they are faced with barriers. The National Post; Canada to accept fewer relatives of immigrants by Thandi Fletcher observes why the conservative government wants to reduce the number of parents and grandparent to coming to Canada.
