Institutional racism is part of the Western world and the ulterior effects could be found if thoroughly vetted. The first and most important clandestine concern is economic consequence as we all need to be economically sound to meet the basic needs of our lives. If we look at the Caribbean people one might notice that majority are still under poverty even though they came to Canada few decades ago. The question is, do these citizens just happened to be unfortunate and poor or is it triggered by institutionalized racism? A simple answer is that racism is the concealed norm, inscribed in organizations, institutions and state level, in our Canadian society.
Essay The Secessionist Crisis in Canada: The Inevitable Rift between the Francophone and Anglophones Rei Kodra Political Science 412 Professor Dunphy November 25, 2013 The secession of Quebec has always been a problem for the national unity of Canada. There is no doubt that it has created a rift between the French and English side. Although this rift relies on the historical context of this relationship, it is more important to focus on the last fifty years of this strained dilemma. Therefore, it is important to emphasize that while Quebec does indeed impact Canadian federalism both positively and negatively, the same is to be said about Canada having a significance on Quebec nationality. The clash between these two aspects of
Explain the term ‘globalisation’ and the role that multinational companies play in the development of globalisation. Globalisation is the process by which the world is becoming increasingly interconnected as a result of massively increased trade and cultural exchange. Globalisation has increased the production of goods and services and has therefore lead to increased trade between countries. This trade encourages countries to work together and removes trade barriers such as quotas and tariffs. This increased openess allows countries to specialise in producing goods which they have a comparitve advantage in (this means they can produce goods at lower unit costs) A multinational Company is a corporation that has its facilities and other assets in at least one country other than its home country.
How would the perspectives of these and other groups that you know of the list of the factors that you would consider when comparing effects of globalization on quality of life? Canada’s demographic continues to dramatically change as a result of, among other things, globalization, technology, and decreasing mortality rates. Recently, in social studies we have been conferring about the concept of one’s quality of life and how globalization affects the QOL of minority groups, such as Inuits, Metis and Aboriginals ‘. Canada has impacted traditional and aboriginal groups, such as, Inuit.

Union resulted in expansion to central Canada, causing a decline in the industrial development and immigration to the Atlantic coast and Maritime Provinces. It also brought upon threats of American invasions. Both the United States and Britain held contending claims to various regions in the western interior of the continent. The lowly populated Rupert’s Land in western Canada was very vulnerable to becoming overtaken by American forces. Americans operated on the belief of Manifest Destiny, in which they believed it was their nation’s destiny to control the whole North American continent.
The Multicultural Threat Political Science - 324 November 25th 2011 In a growing globalized society a state has many challenges it must face. International trade, multiculturalism, state security and economic prosperity are only some of the many important aspects a strong state must deal with. Canada and its peoples have a reputation of being very multicultural and accepting of others, a characteristic many Canadians wear with a great deal of pride. However due to the fact that the world is not one of a complete utopian society, there are some inherent trade offs that occur in encompassing these types of policies. Canada’s policy makers have an important responsibility not only to their own peoples, but also to the industrialized
Though to this day the American and Canadian cultures retain their differences in socioeconomic stratification, race relations, and deviant subculture, the variation in incarceration rate should be seen through a historical perspective: during Canada’s early period of growth, a much greater amount of policing was required to maintain societal protection. The immigration policy that made Canada a multicultural country also caused many problems during the initial stages of settlement (Lenton, 164). Competition and fighting between minority groups disrupted the previous homogeneity of Canadian society. The Canadian government responded by increasing the overall presence of law enforcement. Increased police presence ultimately correlated with a decrease in the total amount of crime, and by extension the incarceration rate (Bonta, 164).
The Economic Black Hole As Kahil Gibran once said: “Life without liberty is like a body without spirit,” this quote mirrors the Canadian economic state in the sense that Canada on the global plain has lost its identity. Canada has always been a country saturated in culture and open to diversification but the NAFTA agreement has brought its downfall. Canada, United States of America and Mexico united to sign an agreement in hopes of achieving a better standard of living and to make humanity more affluent. Canada, the United States of America, and Mexico signed the North American Free Trade Agreement on December 17, 1992 in light of these hopes. Globalization through the Canadian perspective was the foundation to economic downfall and the beginning to
And we have most definitely had a hard time with the Indians. With the Komagata Maru, and the Continuous Passage Act, Canada wasn’t greatly appreciated by India. Canada doesn’t exactly have the best past when dealing with immigrants, but in the last 100 years, we have made a much greater effort in allowing immigrants into our country. The Komagata Maru incident, is one of the worst things, in my opinion, that Canada has ever been a part of. Promising that they could come into Canada if they did something, they do it, and then not let them into Canada.
All these people have different races , cultures and ethnicities but they still strive to be a part of Canada , the biggest cultural mosaic . The increasingly multicultural population of Canada poses challenges of its own; we will have to manage this transition without becoming a country of isolated cultures. There is a definite danger that some unsavoury foreign conflicts and attitudes may cause tension as different ethnicities mingle. We have try hard and stay together else it all becomes a melting pot like USA and pur collective identity slowly melts away .
