Canada Is Dependent Of All Our Differences And Because Of Them
“Canada is a country, strong not in spite of all our differences but because of them.” This is a quote from Canada’s present prime minister Justin Trudeau in his acceptance speech. This quote has an authentic meaning to me. At first I did not understand what it truly meant but as I read it more I started to think about it and to me it says that Canada and the people who live in it are all unique. We all may have our really huge differences and we all may feel really proud to be a Canadian citizen or person who resides in this strong country. Canada became strong because of everyone’s differences. In order for Canada to stay a strong country I think everyone should know that we are a democratic country, that we had conflicts of our own, and that we have laws to keep us all safe.

Being a democratic country allows us to make many decisions very efficiently. It is said that democracy is one of the most effective and easy systems of government other than dictatorship which only one person makes the choices, but democracy lets people have a say in the choices that their country makes. Efficiency is great for decision making as a country because it does not take as long as a consensus and most if not, all people will be content with the outcome. Also, anyone who meets the requirements is able to vote for who they want to represent them as a province or a country. Requirements for voting are that you must be 18 years of age or older as well as you must be a Canadian citizen and the only person who is not allowed to vote is the Chief Electoral Officer. There are two times in Manitoba when an election will take place every four years.

When Britain told Canada to come fight with them, instead of saying yes, Prime Minister King said we would take it to Parliament and have a vote.

    Each individual, family, business, or country all had defining moments that have shaped them into their current appearances and outcomes. During the development of a country, its people are fortified by many important events. These events are the "Defining Moments" which developed a country to what it is today. For Canada, their defining moments relate to military and war. Canada has given major military contributions in the Day of Deliverance, the battle of Vimy Ridge, and the Italian Campaign and in return has achieved respect, pride, and independence which are intangibles any nation aspires for. These events are what made Canada today, a strong, independent country with a lot of heart.…

    Some have argued that over the past nearly 150 years, Canada has matured and evolved into a "nation" in the sense that it has become "a community of the imagination. " That definition sees a nation as a place where the people within its borders display a sense of common identity, and agree on certain values. I agree to this argument as applied to Canada's evolution since 1867. Canada's identity and values started out very weak after Confederation in 1867. We begin to fully develop a stronger Canadian identity throughout the 150 years, when changes has taken place.…

    Canada has been around for 151 years and has learned from its mistakes and developed into a great country. Canada has played an important role in making the rights and freedoms that we have.

    First and foremost, a nations identity is an extremely hard thing to distinguish because it includes such a large population spanning over a very big area. Canada's identity is even more unclear because Canadians are less outspoken about their identity than some countries might be, like the us for example. The pride of Canadians is not as highly promoted as the United States of America, but the strong voice of Canada can be heard. Within these compositions are many different views containing various beliefs related to Canadian identity, yet, they all seem to include the same similarities. Over the battle about Canadian identity the main subjects have been Canada's firm grasp on its heritage, our extremely multicultural society and our extremely diverse landscape.…
