Even though Canada and the US are in North America they have some significant differences and similarities in land forms and water forms. One of the main differences in land is the size of the land. Canada’s land is the second largest land in the world. Even though the US doesn’t have the largest land area it has some pretty key features to it like where Canada has the St. Lawrence River the U.S. has the Mississippi. The U.S. also has the Gulf of Mexico which the US uses to trade and travel to the islands of the Philippines and Bahamas.
The structure of the 1908 newspaper is not the only main difference compared to the newspapers written today. By looking at the 1908 copy of the British Colonist you notice that many of the political, economic and cultural topics they portray are significantly different than any we would currently see. The way the British Colonist shows the world in 1908 explains how differently people back then approached similar problems that we currently face. The reflection of Canada and the world the paper during that time depicts is different in a lot of aspects. How they solved political problems, the way the money and taxes were used, and the way they viewed minorities is just some of the main differences found in most copies of that year’s newspapers.

In recent years, Canada has received many immigrants because of its advantageous social, environmental and economical conditions. Grady (2009) reports that Canada’s immigration levels have remained very high, since the Mulroney government relaxed its immigration policy to new immigrants in the mid-1980s. A total of about 250,000 new permanent residents and 113,000 temporary foreign workers were welcomed to Canada in 2006 (p.28).

Most will experience a transition period and during this period, they have to establish their own self-sufficiency within the new social structure.
There are many things, words, or people that may try and define Canada and its political culture between the 1990's and present, but to be truly honest one must come to the conclusion that unless you intend to write more than a few measly sentences, you may not even come close. Now when many people try to describe the political culture of Canada they think of three things that have shaped the politics of our nation recently, the separatist movement in Quebec, the emergence of conservatism in the west, and the blow the Liberals have taken due to the emergence of the Sponsorship scandal and the Gomery inquiry. These three things, all encompassed into a single nation of politics is what shapes our nation today, and maybe even defines the term of Canadian political culture. Since the days when the first English - French confrontation happened in the recently discovered Canada, political culture in Quebec has always been different from the rest of the country. The French-Canadians have always been looking for and perhaps maybe pushing towards a separate and sovereign country of their own.

The movement was started by French-speaking citizens of Quebec. These people felt like they should be a separate country instead of a province of Canada because of the cultural differences that exist between them and other Canadian citizens. These citizens continue to feel that decisions made in Canada will always favor the English-Canadians because they represent the majority of the nation’s people. Although many remain very determined to establish Quebec as a separate country, I do not think they will
By looking through the history and development of Canadian sports and culture we can see that both were directly affected by standardization and urbanization, how amateur versus professionals affected Canadian society and finally how rivalry in national sports affects Canada’s nationality. Therefore, Canada has a history of rallying with each other around sports during times of both triumph and struggle and Sports have long been looked at as a source of nationalism in Canadian culture and throughout Canadian history. Canada only became an independent country after leaving the monarchical control of Britain in 1867, and as such the country had a hard time developing a national identity. Sports began to gain prominence throughout the country and Canadians began looking to sport as a form of nation building. Sports were used to teach young Canadians about honesty, hard work and perseverance as all sports are
