The structure of the 1908 newspaper is not the only main difference compared to the newspapers written today. By looking at the 1908 copy of the British Colonist you notice that many of the political, economic and cultural topics they portray are significantly different than any we would currently see. The way the British Colonist shows the world in 1908 explains how differently people back then approached similar problems that we currently face. The reflection of Canada and the world the paper during that time depicts is different in a lot of aspects. How they solved political problems, the way the money and taxes were used, and the way they viewed minorities is just some of the main differences found in most copies of that year’s newspapers.

Political culture in Canada is much different than the political culture in most other countries in the world. Canada is a nation in which its wide range of political views and ideas cannot be defined with one word, or even a single phrase. To describe the politics that surround the people in the worlds thirty fifth most populous country would require quite an in depth and behind the scenes view of the nature of our country. To truly understand or even begin to comprehend the political struggles each and every able bodied voter in Canada must go through is nearly unfeasible. There are many things, words, or people that may try and define Canada and its political culture between the 1990's and present, but to be truly honest one must come to the conclusion that unless you intend to write more than a few measly sentences, you may not even come close.

He said “The Old West did not die quietly.”(1) This means that both sides of the rebellion put up a good fight and not just in the battle they fought for many years over the land of their ancestors that was taken from them. “By the early 1880’s not only the Métis but also the English-speaking mixed bloods and even the white settlers were becoming disturbed by the fact that the dominion surveyors were moving through the prairies, laying out the land in square townships
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
