customs, and heritage on the continent. With this uniqueness comes solidarity among the people of Quebec and sometimes feelings of separation from the rest of Canada. One thing that no one can doubt that brings together the nation of Canada is their national sport- hockey. Everyone knows that hockey is a well-loved competitive sport all over Canada but in Quebec their home team the Montreal Canadiens takes all the cheers.

Canada itself is often viewed as one of the more welcoming and tolerant countries, however a large portion of our population, and in fact the colonization of our country, rests on the back of oppression and how we have perpetrated this against indigenous peoples of Canada.

breather hockey. Culturally, Canadians celebrate all facets of hockey and quickly ignore the dark side of the game. In Curtis Fogel’s article, Social Problems in Canadian Ice Hockey: An Exploration Through Film, he examines the social problems in Canada through the use of film. Prompted by pop-cultural depictions of violence, hazing, sexual assault, and drug use in hockey films, (Fogel’s) paper illustrates various social problems that currently exist in Canadian Ice Hockey (Fogel, 2014).

More often than not, serious ice hockey players that are not in ‘hot bed’ areas like Michigan and Minnesota, find themselves leaving their original home rinks for teams in other areas of the country, in
Afghanistan is a nation country very different images to different people. If I call out the name of Afghanistan anywhere, how would some people think about this country? The reply is obvious that most of the people will think about bloodsheds, combats, and a completely destroyed land. It is a fact that Afghanistan is not a developed country or even hardly a developed nation, but still there are a few people who can see some obvious progress in Afghanistan.

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.

One of the more popular conflicts that were ongoing in the first years of the 1900’s was the fight for women’s equality. This included the right to vote and the right to
