When the four initial colonies of Canada‚ being: Ontario‚Quebec‚ Nova Scotia and New Brunswick confederation in 1867 ; there was still much debate for the remaining colonies on whether to join. There is definitely an argument for both sides‚ but in my opinion --- I believe confederation was a good thing. One advantage of confederation was that when the colonies were united as a country‚ we would be able to fend off attacks from the South. Also it would act as a symbol to intimidate the Americans

2. THE WORD WAS WITH GOD The Word was with God – the preposition translated "with" in the Greek means literally "face to face". It was used to show intimacy in a personal relationship. This point of view is given weight by the context‚ in which the Son is said to be "in the bosom of the Father" (v. 18)‚ and thus in the ideal position to reveal the Father to the world. When the Bible says that “Jesus was with God” it refers to the wisdom that was with God. This shows the intimacy of God and his

the immediate defeat of France was needed. Schlieffen thought that it would much easier to become victorious over France by attacking at its rear‚ rather than pushing through the heavily fortified France-German border.

It is now customary to recite the national oath before every class‚ which was new but easy to forget‚ for it failed to spark patriotic or nationalistic feeling within its reciters. For now‚ my thoughts were on my family. A multitude of questions swarmed my head‚ Why was conscription activated? What happens when I turn sixteen? What about my parents‚ will my dad go into the army? Questions I would fortunately never know the answer to. On the journey home I overheard people discussing possible ways

Iraq invasions The Iraq war was a horrible thing. It caused many things to happen. I’m against going to war with them because there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq as the US government claimed. One of the main reasons listed by George W Bush for the war was to secure Iraq’s chemical and biological weapons‚ which did not even exist.
