They are everywhere and some associated with LA Canada are that it’s populated by rich asians who are all smart with strict parents. This stereotype exists because it derives from truth.

change is a major factor that is happening and affecting everything. Climate change is also affecting Canada’s many primary resource industries. One specific primary industry is the forestry industry in British Columbia. Out of all the industries in Canada‚ I think that the forestry industry is the most impacted by climate change.

Still to this day‚ homelessness is a huge problem in Canada. Far too many people are living without a home‚ and everyday this rates of homelessness rises.

equality to so many people today. However‚ in our society is feminism really needed‚ or could it be more beneficial to other countries who still fight for equal rights? On the other hand Canada isn’t perfect and the fight for equal rights among the opposite sex is still an issue. In hindsight‚ the citizens of Canada would gain a better understanding for each other if feminism continues to stay present in our daily lives. For many years women fought for equal rights‚ these rights consisted of voting
