Historical Events In Canada
Historical events are indelible. But the historical events and what is happening now still have a lot in common. Compare the history of Canada to refugees and refugee now in Canada. Both cost a huge amount of money from government to take care of those refugees. Governments at different times provides protection to those refugees and both now and historical government gave refugees lands or place to live.
To begin with, as we all know, the cost of living of refugees is very large. In Canada now, resettling all of the 25,000 Syrian refugees is estimated to cost Ottawa $35,000, or $900 million overall in the first year and $1.2 billion on the following six years. And all the costs are undertaken by government. Historically, the British government

    Everyone in Canada knows the name of our current Prime Minister Stephen Harper, but he has done nothing compared to our very first Prime Minister, John A. Macdonald. Macdonald did many things for our country, including making it a country, and it all started from his vision. He had a vision to unite all of Canada as one through a transcontinental railway, which went on to be known as the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The CPR cost a ton of money though, and the Canadian government just didn’t have enough money to keep pouring it into the CPR. Macdonald needed money, and he decided to get it from Hugh Allen, which led to the Pacific Scandal. Due to the Pacific Scandal, Macdonald was kicked out of office, and by the time the next election came around, he knew that he needed a political platform to win the election. In 1876 he created the National Policy, which became the basis of the Conservative election platform during the 1878 election. This National Policy had three initiatives to it; to create a system of protective tariffs against foreign goods; to encourage greater immigration to the west; the cornerstone of the national policy was to finish off the CPR. The National Policy got Macdonald back in power, more importantly though, Macdonald’s National Policy hugely impacted Canada economically, politically, and socially.…

    Canada has had many proud moments in the past 100 years that makes us who we are now. Vimy Ridge was one of our first proud moments in the 1900s where all four Canadian divisions in World War I fought in one battle together. After the First World War Canada became its own country by the Statute of Westminster stating that we were no longer was about of Great Britain. In the 1920s Canada invented many useful things that we still use today like the telephone, radio, television and cars. During the 1928 Olympics, Canada won 4 gold metals, 2 silver metals and 1 bronze metal. Hockey night in Canada became huge when it started out and still is to this day, it started on the radio but after TV was invented it moved to television broadcasting. One big discovery that Canada is proud of is the discovery of insulin used for diabetic people discovered by Fredrick Banting and Charles Best. Hockey was starting to become huge and legends were born. Maurice Richard also known as the “Rocket” is a Canadian hockey player that we are very proud of. He played for the Montreal Canadians and was their best player by far. In the 1944-45 hockey season he scored 50 goals in 50 games making him a hockey legend. Paul Henderson is another hockey legend for the USSR hockey series in 1972. Canada won and he was the one who scored the winning goal for us. Expo 67 was Canada’s 100th birthday so they celebrating with a huge party and 50 million people from all across the world came to see bringing in lots of money for us. Terry Fox was a huge deal in 1980 and still is now. He ran from Newfoundland all the way to Canada to raise money for cancer research. He did all of this with only one leg and raised over $20 million before he died. When 9/11 happened in the United States, Americans came to Canada and stayed in the airports, Canadians wanted to help so they brought food blankets and clothes for the Americans. Canada did a lot of things that we are proud for…

    Why is it that when you research Canadian Prime Ministers on the internet, or in a library, Pierre Elliot Trudeau's name appears more than any other? Why is that everyone knows his name? In short, what makes Trudeau, Canada's most famous Prime Minister? The fact is without the influence of Pierre Elliot Trudeau, it is likely that Canada and Quebec would currently be two separate countries. Pierre Eliot Trudeau was able to unify Canada through the implementation of the Official Languages Act, the implementation of the War Measures Act during the October Crisis and his devoted efforts against separatism during the Quebec referendum.…

    This may be the most difficult speech I have ever written. Most of us are familiar with the famous photograph of a dead Syrian boy, who washed up on the shore of a Turkish beach after drowning as he family tried to escape the violence wrought by the Islamic State terrorist group, ISIS. Throughout this tragic crisis, countries from all over the world have been called forward as global citizens to help with what has been referred to as the worst humanitarian crisis of our generation. Canada being one of those countries, has promised to resettle 25,000 refugees by the end of year. Meaning within one months time we will have 25,000 more people in Canada. Those people are going to be given access to our resources, health care, and education.…

    I believe that this is very important not only to these refugees, but what Canada stands for. We stand for freedom and equality, whether someone was born here or not is of no consequence to them. We help those who need the best we can, we weren’t always so helpful though. Once in 1938 Jewish refugees who were fleeing from Nazi rule had requested refugee status in Canada, the Canadian government refused to accommodate these people who had requested our help. This refusal to help was essentially a death sentence for all those who applied. From then on we have helped as many as we could, as we have learned from our mistake. Our helpfulness is very important, we are peace keepers above all else while in conflict, if anything it is one of the biggest factors in all Canadian…

    This goes to show that there is a direct correlation between the stability of a county and its political background. For any country, stability is key; nobody want to live somewhere that does not have a stable government. As a relatively young country with a small population, it is essential for Canada to continuously attract new immigrants; In order to be attractive to immigrants Canada must remain stable. The modern day United Kingdom Monarch system of government dates back to 1603 (Citation), while the English monarch system, of which the United Kingdom system was based off of dates back to 400 AD (Citation). The stability of the British Monarchy has aloud it to stand the test of time; although it may not be as strong as it once was, it is still one of the strongest monarchies and most influential monarchy in modern day society. The British Monarchy is a system that has been evolving for over fifteen hundred years. During this time the different roles of the king and queen have evolved and changed greatly; now we see them as more of a figure head. Never the less they still have a great influence on Canada and the way Canadians govern…

    From World War One to present day, a positive change is visible on Canadians’ views on refugees. Due to historical events during the world war years, post war years and the past few decades, certain amounts of refugees have come to Canada. Furthermore, these certain amounts of refugees has only been increasing to larger amounts because of the diminishing of discrimination in society. As the differences in faith, ethnic and race stops mattering to Canadians, more and more refugees have been accepted into Canada, resulting in a drastic change in Canadians’ views on refugees. Moreover, since World War One, Canadians’ views on refugees has transitioned from being negative to more supportive.…
