    When WW1 started in 1914, Britain controlled Canada’s foreign policy. As the war raged, Canadians disagreed over Canada’s future role in the British Empire. But some people sided with the Conservative Prime Minister Robert Borden, who wanted Canada to remain in the British Empire. His government used Propaganda to keep Canadian patriotism at a high pitch, during the War. To maintain the strength and numbers at the front lines, Prime Minster Robert Borden passed the Military Service Act in July 1917. The act introduced Conscription-forced military service. The conscription divided Canada, but it made little difference to the war effort. In 1919 , when Canada had to go the peace conference held in Paris, Robert Borden argued that Canadians’ wartime record give them the right to sit independently because even at that time Canada was still controlled by Britain. And Canada also signed the treaty by itself. Robert Borden did make huge difference in Canada’s identity by taking that small step and he made the world realize that we can be an independent country too.…

    1914 was a drastic year not only for Canada, but also for the entire world as it experienced the beginning of the Great War. Economies fell drastically, lives were lost, families were separated, cities and towns were destroyed etc The war lasted for four years and these were four important years for Canada for towards the lapse of the fourth year, Canada had gained recognition all over the world. Canada had started emerging as a much stronger nation. When the First World War broke out in 1914, Canada was a much different country than it is today. At that time, Canada had a small population of eight million people. Still, more than 620,000 men served in the Canadian Expeditionary Forces. Within the first two days of the war, the Canadian forces had started organizing themselves under Sir Sam Hughes, the Minister of Militia and Defense.

    Historiography of Quebec

    • 4346 Words
    • 18 Pages

    In contemporary scholarship, the historiography of Quebec has been a study of great vitality, though tremendous controversy. This is particularly evident in the examination of the origins and implications of the Quiet Revolution, a period in Quebec history that is not only arguably marked by a large-scale rejection of past values and rapid modernization, but also by a subsequent paradigm shift in Quebec’s historiography, one that moved from a traditional understanding of Quebec as a distinct entity to a more contemporary perception of Quebec that attempts to “normalize” Quebec’s past by describing its provincial development as being in conjunction with the rest of Western society.…

    On July 1st of 1867, the passing of the British North America Act indicated that Canada had become a nation. Before Confederation, what we know as Canada today was merely a bunch of scattered British colonies. When the colonies united to form the Dominion of Canada, they were able to depend upon themselves for economic and security reasons. Because they traded goods amongst themselves without tariffs and depended on each other for protection, an initial sense of unity was formed within the new Dominion. This also led Canada to reduce its reliance on Britain and thus became more independent. Canada's main affairs may have been controlled by Britain at that time, but this event served as a prelude to Canada's growing nationhood and has spurred this young nation to take its first steps in building its own identity.…

    World War 1 was a pivotal event that affected Canada in many ways. Not only for the men that fought for their country, but also for the thousands of women that contributed behind the soldiers of the front lines. It was a heavy change for them; going from dependant housewife to being employed at some of the largest industries and factories. World War 1 was centered on Europe and began in the summer of 1914 (Wikipedia). That summer changed the lives of many families in Europe, and all over the world. Men were forced to leave their homes and families behind and fight for their countries. In result of the men’s absence, women had the opportunity to take the available jobs. It was a major step in the history of women,…

    New Brunswick joined Confederation on July 1, 1867. New Brunswick was one of the first province/territory to join Confederation along with Nova Scotia and a few other colonies. New Brunswick joined the Confederation because if they joined it, Britain would help with funds to build railways to help increase trade, it would help New Brunswick defend against the Fenians, and since New Brunswick had a small population, if they joined Confederation, they wouldn't have to worry about Rep by Pop because they would be now under a federal government. Nevertheless, by New Brunswick joining the…

    Canada became a large contender in history’s two largest wars- World War I and World War 2. Canada, a colony of Britain at the time, was determined to help by any means necessary during WWI. Thereafter, the nation became less enthusiastic about participation in future wars, especially with the inevitable WWII. Canadians were still determined to fight in the war despite the Great Depression and lingering memories of World War I. As time progressed, Canada got more tranquil and kind hearted while leaning towards the principles of pacifism and peacemaking. If Canada had to conscript its people into war in this modern age, the old method would simply be ineffective. Hence, Canada should modify its conscription policy in order to best fit this generation.…

    The Canadian Monarchy

    More attention needs to be on the part that Monarchies have played regarding the evolution of Canadian democracy. Many Canadians tend to forget the importance of the Crown, though they are not to blame as it is a subject hardly heard of or spoken about in school curricula and media outlets. For five centuries, the Crown has been a symbol of strength in Canada. With an extremely stable and responsible government, the Crown’s involvement is disregarded and forgotten. According to many polls, majority of the Canadians who are aware of the Canadian Monarchy wish to abolish it completely and would rather have a head of state from within Canada but, “Monarchy advocates argue for its continued relevance in parliamentary function and as a symbol of…

    Protectionism is the practice of the government putting limits on foreign trade to protect business at home. Free Trade is when there are few or no limits on trade between countries. Both sides have strong viewpoints representing their respective opinions. From the United States perspective, I think the elimination of Free Trade is one of the only ways the American economy can expand for the overall benefit of all the citizens and our national welfare. Our economy needs to get out of the huge deficit we currently face.…

    Free trade is a policy of imposing no restrictions on the movement of goods and services between countries. It will lead to the most efficient allocation of world resources and higher standards of living for all participating countries. Yet countries in the world see a need for protection. Protectionism is a policy of protecting home industries from foreign competition by the imposition of trade barriers on foreign goods and services. This is because individual governments in the countries are more concerned with achieving national objectives and improving the welfare of the people in their respective countries than with maximizing world output or increasing the welfare of the world.…
