Sir, you have heard of the devastation at Duck lake, and must agree with me when I plead graciously that we need to finish the Canadian Pacific Railway. It is imperative that we have a proper route to this rebellion, and if you will, a railway could be just the solution. Presently, there is little money for the completion such project, and yet another 138 kilometers of rail must be laid. I propose an agreement of such sort. I promise you, Prime Minister Macdonald, that if I can get your Canadian troops to Fort Qu’Appelle in ten days or less, we will make a compromise. For sir, if we fail to bring about reinforcements we could lose yet another battle, and then who knows what the future will hold. Do you really want to see a future where
Unfortunately, this agreement was never reached at when two provinces, Newfoundland and Manitoba, failed to ratify it within the three year period that ended on June 1990 (Parkinson 1). These five conditions included the guaranteeing of Quebec a special status as a distinct society, increasing its provin...
The years since the Battle of Vimy Ridge may have passed quickly, but the legacy of the Canadians whose accomplishments were great in that pivotal First World War battle lives on. Many people claim to this day that Canada came of age as a country on those hard April days in 1917. At first, through the meticulous planning of the battle, the world saw a nation capable of working together and making decisions as a team. Afterwards, with the range of technical and tactical innovations involved in the attack, the world saw a strong nation unafraid to protect and defend. In the end, through great sacrifice the world bore witness to the birth of the Canadian legacy.
Since the Confederation of Canada until today, the province of Quebec has always wanted become its own nation by separating from Canada. As a result, Canada’s scariest ever terrorist group, the Front de Libération de Quebec (FLQ), wrote the darkest chapter in Canadian history, The October Crisis. To end the terror, Canadian Prime Minister, Trudeau, was forced to invoke the War Measures Act (WMA) during his term in 1970 which was flawed with disapproval and controversy since it was the first time the Act was used during peacetime. However, despite the criticism, his decision to invoke the War Measures Act was reasonable because of the fear presented by the FLQ, the public and governmental demands, and the end result of the October Crisis.
Members of the Canadian government and the Indigenous people signed Treaty 6 in 1876. Treaty 6 was “a formal and binding contract between two nations” that would help deal with important matters. Treaty negotiations included land, education, healthcare, government funding, and more. The treaty was created to help benefit both parties – the Canadian government, and the Indigenous people. However, the Canadian government broke this treaty many times. In the mid 1880’s there w...

Since before the First World War, Canadians have had a long history of weakness, cowardice, and insipidity. Seen as feeble and insignificant, Canada had often been overlooked by the European superpowers; until April 9th 1917. On this day, Canadian Corps completed the task of capturing the once German-held Vimy Ridge. Canadian success is attributed to their communication and precise planning that allowed them to stay one step ahead of the enemy. Canadians created new and innovative tactics that made for a more efficient offensive line. Also, the battle resulted in Canada’s autonomy, nationalism, and patriotism that changed the course of Canadian history forever. The battle of Vimy Ridge is considered the defining moment for Canada as it emerged from under the shadow of Britain and for the first time, felt capable of greatness.
... A successful strategy in the accommodation of national minorities within a liberal democracy could be founded upon mutual trust, recognition and sound financial arrangements. However, a certain degree of tension between central and regional institutions may remain as a constant threat in this complex relationship since they entertain opposing aims. The federal governments determination to protect its territorial integrity, and its will to foster a single national identity among its citizens clashes with Quebec’s wish to be recognized as a separate nation and decide upon its political destiny and to foster its distinct identity (Guibernau pg.72). Moreover, if the ROC and the federal government can come to an agreement on terms that satisfy the majority and an identity that encompasses the heart of a country; Canada will continue to exist with or without Quebec.
First of all,I believe that Treaty 7 was not very effective in uniting the Canadian and the First Nations,because the reasons it was made for and the terms.But before we get into the terms of the treaty,we should talk about the Treaty first.The treaty was the 7th in the Numbered Treaties,so we can easily spot the significance of the legal document.It was signed on September 22 ,1877.The Treaty was signed between the First Nations and the Canadians and,as often happens in history,First Nations mostly were assimilated and that was the case here as they did not fully understand the terms.So,since we talked about what the Treaty was,let’s talk about how effective in tightening the bond between the FN and the Canadians.130 000 km of land was given to the Canadians and the First Nations received terms,that seemed equal to the land they were giving.The Canadian government had to pay the First Nations 2 ,000$ for ammunition and 12$ were given immediately and 25$ annually.The FN did not clearly understand
Canada is known by outsiders to be a very peaceful country. But if you ask any Canadian they well tell you that is unfortunately not the case. For there is a large ongoing conflict between Canadians. The conflict is between the French and the English, or more specifically between Quebec and the rest of Canada. As a result of this conflict, along with some wrongdoing and propaganda. Quebec has considered and has gone as far to hold referendums over Separatism (Surette,2014). Separatism is that the province of Quebec separates from the rest of Canada to form its own country. Which would have immense effects on indubitably Quebec but also the rest of Canada (Martin, 2014). This report will focus on the root causes and origin of Quebec Separatism, the current state of Quebec Separatism and finally how we as a society can act towards Quebec Separatism.
With the opposing sides at almost equal size, it is important to come to a final decision. Before possible violence breaks out within the province. Bibliography Doran, Charles F. “Will Canada Unravel?” in Foreign Affairs. Sept-Oct 1996 v75 n5 pg97.
In the simulation today, we passed Bill 114 in the House. This bill, also known as the High Speed Rail Travel Bill, calls for the United States government to provide direct assistance to private railroad corporations to construct and maintain a high-speed rail system. Private railroad corporations and the Republicans in the House gained as a result of the passing of this policy in the House, since the federal government will provide the initial funds to private corporations to build the infrastructure that is needed to link major cities all across the United States, in the case of interstate highways and airports. The passing of this bill, although it supports big business and private corporations, could also be considered a gain for the Democratic
Introduction “We are all treaty people” Campaign. The year 1907 marked the beginning of treaty making in Canada. The British Crown claims to negotiate treaties in pursuance of peaceful relations between Aboriginal peoples and non-Aboriginals (Canada, p. 3, 2011). Treaties started as agreements for peace and military purposes but later transformed into land entitlements (Egan, 2012, p. 400).
So we all know when your here that's when we really buckle down and start boating attention. Because we don't get that much time with you. Although, when we are singing and we do something wrong you always know what to say, and we always sass you and procrastinate fixing it but anyways I just want to say that we really do appreciate all you do for all the choirs. You are such an amazing listener and always there to talk to and one of the best advice givers. When someone is down I don't know how you do it but your always there to help put a smile on there face even if it just for a second. When we are having trouble with a part of a song it's usually always because we aren't breathing right or dropping our jaw. All summer long

The lives and prosperity of millions of people depend on peace and, in turn, peace depends on treaties - fragile documents that must do more than end wars. Negotiations and peace treaties may lead to decades of cooperation during which disputes between nations are resolved without military action and economic cost, or may prolong or even intensify the grievances which provoked conflict in the first place. In 1996, as Canada and the United States celebrated their mutual boundary as the longest undefended border in the world, Greece and Turkey nearly came to blows over a rocky island so small it scarcely had space for a flagpole.1 Both territorial questions had been raised as issues in peace treaties. The Treaty of Ghent in 1815 set the framework for the resolution of Canadian-American territorial questions. The Treaty of Sevres in 1920, between the Sultan and the victorious Allies of World War I, dismantled the remnants of the Ottoman Empire and distributed its territories. Examination of the terms and consequences of the two treaties clearly establishes that a successful treaty must provide more than the absence of war.
