In the 1920’s, Canada introduced higher tariffs on their products exporting, to protect Canadian made products. They also introduced the tariffs to make a little bit more money compared to the other country’s goods. However, like the idea of buying stocks, this backfired. [5] As a result of increasing tariffs, many countries, mostly in Europe had decided not to trade or import of Canada’s goods. The increase in the tariffs meant that the country had no need of such a good, if it would be easily and cheaply made in the country.
Confederation had succeeded in creating a new nation, but there was existed some problem within colonies British and American. How would Union solve the problem in 1860’s? The economic and trade problem was main one, American ended free trade agreement and began imposing tariffs on imports of Canadian natural -resource products. So many Canadian thought that as a move weaken to Canadian economy and force annexation of United States. So the Confederation decided to protect Canada economy from U.S.
In 1969 the federal government introduced a White Paper that proposed to eliminate Indian status: “The policies proposed recognize the simple reality that the separate legal status of Indians and the policies which have flowed from it have kept the Indian people apart from and behind other Canadians. The Indian people have not been full citizens of the communities and provinces in which they live and have not enjoyed the equality and benefits that such participation offers.” The federal government sought to surrender responsibility for Aboriginals to the provinces, repeal the Indian Act, and transfer control of lands to individual Aboriginals. But the policy was fundamentally flawed: it ignored more than a century of discrimination and handicaps that the state had imposed on Aboriginals. "Full and equal access for individuals of aboriginal descent to the democratic rights and
Canada has 4 main regions-Northern, Central, Western and Atlantic. It's a different experience living in each area. Factors that affect one may not affect another. Therefore, growing up or residing in one place will shape the way you look and feel about the world around you, so much so, that a Canadian from a different area may have contrasting outlooks. For example, many citizens of Quebec feel a strong anger towards the rest of the country because of the predominantly British influence that Canada was founded on, and because French views are often downplayed.
The longer the worlds nations wait to respond, the more costly the response will be (Herzog, 1999). It would appear that Canada is an ideal place live, yet in order to succeed and live in this fast past environment, a few unknowingly sacrifices have been made. Canada is one of the main contributors of emission and other deadly gases, which leads to global climate change and therefore should take a more aggressive approach in finding solutions. By not concentrating on finding ways to reduce emission gases, the ozone layer continues to deplete, and therefore causes the climate to change worldwide. Nevertheless it is also
The federal government attempted to fix the economic problems through costly economic stimulus packages, which only resulted in further national debt. So one would have to ask if the fiscal policy the government is currently using is working. Many economist say America is suffering from debt deflation. Americans are trying to pay down debt by spending less, but this is causing their debt problems to worsen. Economists believe that government spending should rise temporarily so the drop in private spending can repair itself.
Increased police presence ultimately correlated with a decrease in the total amount of crime, and by extension the incarceration rate (Bonta, 164). To continue with a perspective focused on the past; the United States views the criminal code in a different way because of the relative brevity of America’s ties to Britain. While Canada’s legal system owes much to Britain to this day, the American legal system diverged immediately after the American Revolution. After the thirteen colonies broke free from British rule, Americans became more likely to resist authority figures, coinciding with a higher incarceration rate (Lenton,
We have been pushed around continuously, and as citizens of Lower Canada, our greatest direction to head is to rebel. Liberalism should be brought amongst us granting rights to responsible government. Our culture has been threatened by the governing oligarchy, and by the many preposterous English-speaking immigrants who are coming to the colony. Our religion as Roman Catholics and french language should be kept alive, not letting fatuous immigrants change its stable ways. The government and his council only approved laws that benefitted themselves and vetoed the laws that weren’t beneficial, not solicitous about the citizens imperatives.
Canada’s waterways, land and air have become intolerably polluted. The Canadian government needs to take stronger action to control pollution. Instead of enforcing strict regulations on pollution control, Canada trusted that companies would voluntarily apply measures
However, I think it is high time that Canada addressed the immigration issue with a good dose of realism, because this country is suffering and so are many of the immigrants living here. One of the more pressing problems is the recognition of foreign credentials. Too many Ph.D.’s, M.D.’s, etc. have to work as janitors or taxi drivers, because our current immigration system has misrepresented the facts to these people. Under the points system, a medical doctor would get the top score for qualifications.
