The Great Liberal Prime Ministers of Canada Many people believe the prime ministers have a lot of power and they can do what ever they want. That is not necessarily true. “They think a prime minister has much power. He doesn't even have influence." Mackenzie King, 1950.
The Canadian Government positions should be elected by the people in Canada because it would prevent many problems by the members in the Canadian Government.

I. INITIAL ANALYSIS OF THE "CANADA – FREE QUEBEC" CONFLICT A. Introduction of the Conflict Quebec is a province of Canada, and many Québécois (French speaking people from Québec) want to be a free, sovereign society apart from the rest of Canada.

Treatment of Aboriginals in Canada People outside of Canada perceive Canada as a very multicultural and accepting country. As we look through Canada’s past history between Aboriginal peoples and the government this statement doesn’t seem so true. “First Nations were often stripped of their rights in the past” (Riles02, Indian Act and Canadian Treaties). They had little say in their own lives due to the creation of the Indian Act, suppressing their traditions and trying to assimilate their culture. To try and control their lifestyles the government created residential schools, and forced the First Nations children to attend.
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
The Military service act was passed so the Canadian government could provide more troops to support its Allied countries. This decision can be argued as negative for a few different causes. First, Prime Minster Borden was elected on a policy that he would not imply conscription but when the Canadian military began to run low on soldiers he implied a conscription policy forcing able bodied Canadians from 20-45 to join the military. Another reason is that, this decision caused a conflict between French and English Canadians because Quebec did not feel compelled to help a country they weren’t tied to. Thirdly, after the policy was passed riots broke out in Montreal and Quebec City.
It can be argued that the Loyalists coming to Canada is the only reason that it exists, because had no more people come, the people already there could not have put up a very good fight against the Americans. Later, the Loyalists wanted their own form of government, so they were granted New Brunswick, and Guy Carleton’s brother, Thomas Carleton, was made the Governor of this new colony. Guy Carleton, the governor of Quebec at the time of the Revolution, helped the Loyalists get to Canada, and later, was responsible for getting the ones that were left out of the
Some people are now satisfied with protected language rights within the Canadian confederation while some still want independence for Quebec. Xinjiang is trying to be free from Communist China.

He believes that the government is simply telling us these things because they would hate to admit that they were wrong in their earlier speculations. The rest of the essay goes on to describe statistics that show that European people are in severe decline that these countries are also headed for disaster. North America’s numbers are swelling, but only because of immigration and that the populations of third world countries are waning as well. Byfield concludes his essay with a theory that Planned Parenthood does not want us to know about these facts, lest they lose their funding, especially in light of the fact that many Canadians don’t want big families anyway. Even though he shows plenty of statistics to support the
