Canada’s political system makes more efforts to address‚ in a broad sense‚ the rights of minorities within their borders. Although some groups such as the Inuit still feel underrepresented‚ Canada still provides substantial aid and protections for every group and makes cultural acceptance an important consideration when passing legislation. In the wake of the recent US elections‚ I definitely admire the advantages of having representatives that actually consider the rights of all citizens‚ especially

When the topic of Canada comes up among peoples‚ immediately the thought of ice hockey‚ the Mounted Police‚ and beavers comes to mind.
