Why Canada Is Important To Me

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. John Peters Humphrey, a canadian and the director of the United Nations Human Rights Division was instrumental in making up the rights and freedoms that we have. Canada also kept Great Britain's idea of government because it worked so well and gives the everyday person a say in government. Countries with democratic governments are more peaceful because one person can’t decide that today they want to start war whenever they want. Canada is known for being a very peaceful and kind country because we say sorry a lot and help out other countries solve problems.
The right to life protects us by ensuring that no one can kill us. We all deserve to live and with life we can try to make the world better and stop atrocities that take the lives of so many.

Governments such as a communist government don’t allow people to get far in life because of their income. Income is managed by the government and can’t do much with your money because you cannot own your own stuff. Communism allows the poor to get more money but the rich lose income. Communism only gives the government power over everyone’s money. Our government makes laws to protect us. Those laws keep us safe because crimes are what society believe are wrong so we vote on laws and they become laws to make sure that people don’t do it. If we didn’t have laws none of your property, money, or even your life would be safe. Laws don’t always deter those who don’t care about the consequences but it ensures that people can know them and think before they do something wrong. Without a democracy opinions don’t get out and governments make their choices without
