Canada has been a member of the UN since 1945. Canadian, Lester. B. Pearson invented UN peacekeepers as a response to the 1956 Suez crisis but Canada has been participating in peacekeeping missions early as 1946(Wood1-2).

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.

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.

Pierre Elliot Trudeau had numerous accomplishments throughout his career which played an important role in Canadian politics.

Marisa Barrera Professor Turner English 1A May 6, 2008 Lead By Example Does it ever cross anyone’s mind why a third world war has not occurred? Aside from the United Nations one other group is due gratitude for not only preventing a third world war but also for working toward world peace by encouraging cooperation among European and non-European countries. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization often referred to as NATO for short, is long overdue credit for this feat of accomplishment. Initially the alliance was formed as a defense union for Western Europe to protect democracy in response to the USSR attempt at communist takeover of Europe. Faced with an immensely difficult task of resisting an attack from a vicious enemy with an upstanding army greater than all other signatories combined (“History of the Atlantic Alliance” 1), it quickly became clear that mutual cooperation was needed to achieve their common goal.
N is United Nations Organizations (UNO). NATO is the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. UN is an international organization that aims at facilitating cooperation in international law, international security, human rights, social progress and the accomplishment of world peace.

The UN was founded on the contrary in 1945 after World War II as a replacement for the League of Nations.
Canada is renowned for their peacekeepers and no other country is considered more peaceful. In the 21st Century, we see expressions of the Canadian Identity every day. Elements of the Canadian Identity are liberalized immigration policy, a policy of multiculturalism, a commitment to bilingualism, the Canadian Bill of Rights, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, a commitment to peacekeeping and a commitment to protecting and promoting Canadian culture. Whenever the question of “What does it mean to be Canadian?” arises, you often hear the words multiculturalism, freedom, hockey, democracy and family. Canada is a land where multicultural societies live side by side in harmony with minor irritations here and there.
