Good Characteristics Of Canada's Bicameral System

Canada has a fantastic government! The bicameral system makes a good characteristic of Canada! There are many benefits of using Canada’s bicameral system. First of all, the bill is thoroughly looked through to find any flaws or conflicts that might interfere with other laws. If there are any flaws contradicting law, the MP’s would have to change the bill so it would not contradict the law already set in place. The fact that there is more than one house is a benefit. With two rooms, (House of Commons and the Senate) you can get work done twice as fast than you could with one house. Once the bill is through the House of Commons, the Senate can take it right away and then the House of Commons can move on to the next bill. Also, the Senate adds
a “sober second thought” to the bill. The “sober second thought” is there to ensure that there is proper thought put into the bill.
This extra thought is needed to be sure that nothing was overlooked in the hectic House of Commons. One would say that the bicameral is a good system to run the government with, which makes it a great characteristic of Canada.

The second greatest characteristic of Canada is her great beauty and how she defines the opposite of an “eye sore”. Canada has many different terrains, and each of their characteristics adds a beautiful diversity between each landscape. I personally love visiting British Columbia. The tall majestic mountains, deep ravines, dark evergreen trees, the wet waterfalls and the Glacier Rivers all make me want to stay and never leave. The mountains make me feel safe, the sounds of the ever-flowing rivers lull me to sleep, and the evergreen trees that cover the mountains give me a burst of invigorating energy! I’ve seen Lake Louise, which is up in the mountains. The lake is very beautiful, with clear blue water, lush conifers surrounding the sides, and
the towering mountains in the background that takes up the space of the sky. The terrain in Ontario is also quite breathtaking!! The Niagara Falls is a hot tourist spot, but it is also a sight of immense beauty. The 168,000 cubic meters of water that falls creates a fine mist in which you can see a bright shining rainbow! The green rolling hills of Saskatchewan are especially incredible. The lush hills of wheat, grass and other agricultural vegetation goes on and on, until it hits the horizon. Picture this: you’re driving through the province of Saskatchewan. You look out your window for the first time, and you see and endless sea of green and yellow fields on gently sloping hills. You try to see out as far as you can and you realize that you can distinctly see the line where the sky reaches the Earth. (If you were wondering, yes I have experienced this and I was terrified that we were going to fall off the edge of the Earth!!) These are a few examples, (yes there are many more and I could talk for hours about them), of the immense beauty of Canada and how she defines the opposite of an “eye sore”. The last excellent characteristic of Canada is her multicultural diversity.
Canada has a wide range of cultures from English, to Filipino, to Scottish to Ethiopians. Cultural diversity is an excellent characteristic for Canada to have because you get to meet people of other cultures and it broadens your views of how the rest of the world lives, not just how you live. Here’s an example: Me and my family decided to go to Birds Hill for the day. We packed a cooler full of food, our hammock, and our swim gear and set out for the beach. When we arrived we set up or hammock and cooler and settled down under the shade of a few trees. After a while, this woman came up to us and asked where we bought our hammock. We told her that my grandparents had brought it back with them from Paraguay when they were on vacation. My mom started talking with her, as all moms do, and soon found out that she was not from Canada, but she was actually from the Philippines! How cool! Later on, the aroma of fresh brewed coffee drifted past us. Our noses turned us around and there behind us was a family of what looked like Africans. They invited us over to try the coffee, along with the Pilipino woman, and engaged with us a conversation. We learned that they were Eritreans and Ethiopians, two different families coming together to escape to Canada. The story of their travels was frightening but intriguing. We learnt a lot that day, but the most important lesson was that even if people don’t look like
you, or talks or acts like you, you can be great friends. Because of cultural diversity we met new people and now can understand more about the hardships that people face, and this is why cultural diversity is fantastic characteristic of Canada!

All three of these characteristics add to Canada and make her great! The government helps keep the country run smoothly, her beauty makes her a great tourist spot, and her multicultural diversity could teach you a lesson or two! Canada is a very peaceful country! In conclusion, I can say that Canada has many great characteristics, but these are the best ones!
