Paul Yuzyk, a Progressive Conservative Senator of Ukrainian descent, referred to Canada as "a multicultural nation" in his influential maiden speech in 1964, creating much national debate, and is remembered for his strong advocacy of the implementation of a multiculturalism policy. [36] On October 8, 1971, the Liberal government of Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau announced in the House of Commons that, after much deliberation, the policies of bilingualism and multiculturalism would be implemented in Canada. [37] When the Canadian constitution was patriated by Prime Minister Trudeau in 1982, one of its constituent documents was the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and section 27 of the Charter stipulates that the rights laid out in the document are to be interpreted in a manner consistent with the spirit of multiculturalism. [38] The Canadian Multiculturalism Act was introduced during the Progressive Conservative government of Brian Mulroney, and received Royal Assent on July 21, 1988. [39] On a practical level, a result of the multiculturalism Act was federal funds began to be distributed to ethnic groups to help them preserve their cultures, leading to such projects as the construction of community centres.
My own identity is centred around the place I came from, who my parents were, where I grew up, how I was raised, where I am today and where I am going. When my parents decided to have me, or my siblings, they didn’t say, we better hold off on having kids because there is too much American influence. They lived their lives as Canadians with the hopes and dreams of all Canadians. I will even go as far as saying that they embraced the Canadian Dream, living in this our free country, with the maple leaf flag, the Great Canadian Lakes, ten provinces all joined together in a hope of a greater future as Canadians. INTERVIEWS ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE THINK ABOUT CANADIANS Yes, Canada for me is a state of mind and a state of living, a place I call home, a place where I am proud to have raised my kids, a place where they will continue to raise their own.
To what extent was 1822 a turning point in British politics? The year 1822 is seen by some as a key turning point in British politics as it saw the introduction of liberal Tories, enforcing liberal attitudes upon parliament. However, I would argue that 1822 was not a turning point, but rather a year of half-hearted enforcements of reforms in order to avoid political unrest. In 1822, Lord Liverpool hoped that by introducing four key individuals, by the names of Canning, Peel, Huskisson and Robinson, into the cabinet, the social reforms they would introduce would reduce demand for political reform. I would argue that this decision would suggest continuity as opposed to change within the political system as it was a way for the Government to seem more liberal.

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. There are numerous influences which have caused us to consider becoming a confederation. The internal factors include political standstill resulting from the current political structure and The Intercolonial Railway of Canada which would improve trade, military movement, and transportation in general. On the other hand, the external factors include the American civil war, the U.S. doctrine of Manifest Destiny and the Fenian raids. Now, in regards to the comparative advantages of a Legislative

Let me start by saying that the Liberal Party of Canada is very much interested in encouraging immigration of skilled workers; and therefore our first priority on the issue of immigration would be to speed up the recognition of foreign credentials and prior work experience. In four years from now, immigration is expected to account for the entire net growth of Canada’s workforce. As of today, the door to immigrations from around the world is open. If elected, the Liberal Party of Canada will start to elevate the standard of possible immigrants in order to meet Canada’s workforce needs. However, at the same time, we need to improve our social and economic incorporation of new Canadians, including recognition of their professional credentials,
