What was the reason behind all this?, what was the reason behind all that happened in Vancouver?, racism, pure racism, because the people of Vancouver thought that the Indians were going to come into Vancouver and take over factories, mills, and lumber yards so the government proposed a new act called the Immigration Act which allowed no Indians in Canada unless they took a direct passage from there original country to Canada, which was impossible, so in other words Indians weren’t allowed in Canada, but Gurdit Singh decided to challenge the new Immigration act and send 394 Sikh Immigrants from Hong Kong to Vancouver on a ship called the Komagata Maru, and just because of that, just because of Gurdit Singh’s Idea to try and challenge the Canadian Government’s Idea of proposing a new Immigration Act.

Instead, Romney used his time to rebuke Obama and did not express his position as much. “Why am I lowering taxes on the middle-class? Because under the last four years, they've been buried,” Romney said. Even though, Romney tried to overcome Obama; Obama fought back better than the last presidential debate.

Students in Ontario taking English should only study Canadian literature because we are completely swamped and more influenced by the American culture around us. Although Canadian tradition has always been a “branch plant” of another country starting with England and France; meaning that our own culture has never had the chance to develop since we have always been under the thumb of a more powerful foreign culture. For years, a student in Ontario would study Shakespeare and other British writers; even today they may also study American authors such as Fitzgerald. It’s evident that many schools limit a student’s exposure to the Canadian novel to ISP reading lists. In this sense, Canada is an attic in which we have stored American and British literature without considering our own.

It made various recommendations including “publicly funded child care”, but in '86, the new Conservative government implemented the “Special Committee on Child Care” which did not advocate for a “national child care system” (Gestwicki & Bertrand, 2008, p. 204). Closing in on '88, the Conservative government finally made a proposal for a “National Child Care strategy” which became the “Canada Child Care Act” (Gestwicki & Bertrand, 2008, p. 204). This strategy did not pass into law as the government was defeated. The government went back to the liberal party in '93, but because of the uncertainty of the past, the national child care strategy become harder to implement (Gestwicki & Bertrand, 2008).
