Madam/Mr. Speaker, honourable judges, patient timekeepers, worthy opponents, and interested audience. We, the members of the opposition team accept the definition of terms as presented by our opponents.
We, however, would like to present some mistakes in our opponent‘s reasoning. Our opponents have said that .......... We, the members of the opposition do not accept these arguments because .......
My partner and I will present the following points: how Toronto’s transit is terrible how Toronto is generic how Toronto failed to bid for the Olympics and how Toronto has a disgraceful and crumbling community housing system.
Now, our opponents may have talked about how there are many places to visit in Toronto, but that’s all

For example, world class cities have rich cultural and historical backgrounds. London has a history dating back over 2000 years, and is the site of many Unesco World Heritage Sites. New York has the Statue Of Liberty, which was a gift from the French, and has become a symbol of freedom. And what does historical significance does Toronto have? Almost none. There are many other Canadian cities which had more of a historical impact on Canada than Toronto. Quebec City was effectively the place where the French surrendered Canada to the British. Toronto has very little significance in our country's rich history. Toronto also has very few cultural events compared to world class cities. London has the West End Theatres, New York has the Broadway theatres, and Toronto? Well there's a couple theatres here and there but not much compared to the world class cities. For these reasons, we believe Toronto is a very dull place in terms of cultural and historical significance, which every world class city should have, so Toronto should not be called a world class city.
For these reasons, on how Toronto's transit system is terrible, on how Toronto's cultural and historical background are very dull, and the reasons which my esteemed colleague will soon state, we the members of the opposition strongly believe that this resolution should
I shouldn’t have a quinceanera , what’s so important you turning fifteen having a huge party having a big dress , food , make-up , and hair done . every one turn fifteen and some people don’t make a huge party and go all out just for you turning a age , it’s not a big deal turning fifteen you still a teen you're not an adult yet , your still a kid.
There are different opinions about the most important event in Canada’s development as a nation.
Which leads into my third and final premise, changing the date will be a large step towards reconciliation and act as a demonstration that we have aspirations to make our country better. Many people claim that changing the date will not change history. Of course they’re right because nothing can change history. If we were capable of doing so, I’d like to think we would have done it already. Changing the date of Australia Day will not reverse the suffering that the original custodians of this land were subjected to. Nor will it abolish the iron fist of racism that Australia seems to be gripped by.
Furthermore, the issues of representation in the House of Commons are even more evident in terms of the alienation of certain provinces. Western Canada has experienced political alienation due to the dominance and influence of Ontario and Quebec over policy-making as both provinces contain the founding Cultures of Canada (Miljan, 2012, p. 53) Also, the fact that Ontario and Quebec make up more than 60 percent of Canada’s population attracts policymakers to those provinces while marginalizing the interests of westerners (Miljan, 2012, p. 53). Thus, policymakers will favor Ontario and Quebec as these provinces harbor the most ridings as well as the bigger electors’ base. In fact, Western Canada is also underrepresented in both the House of Commons and the Senate when compared to the Maritime provinces as the Maritime provinces are overrepresented compared to their population. Also, many western Canadians are turned off by the federal government as they have been alienated from major political action and discussion due to low representation (Canada and the World Backgrounder, 2002). In other words, Ottawa does not address the needs and hopes of Western Canada
Picture a stunning sandy beach, waves lapping on the shoreline and the sun setting on the horizon creating a breathtaking atmosphere. The never-ending golden sand stretching as far as the eye can see. This is Australia.
Before a person is well recognized in society, they need to go though a lot of trouble, discrimination, and change to get there. No one judges them by their individual merit. This also applies to countries. The government of a country is always trying to get themselves in a higher position around the globe. This is done so they are well established for their good qualities. Canada is also a name in the list of such nations. Recognition was really hard for Canada to get because of the fact that it is one of the younger countries. Over the years, Canada has really shaped as a nation politically, economically, and socially. These three factors have affected the nations past, affecting the present, and will definitely affect the future. For instance, three examples of such events from each section of the course are: The Person’s Case, the Baby Boom, and lastly, The Montreal Massacre.
It’s fall everyone and Halloween is coming.I would like to tell you that fall is the best season of all.
Claire Campbell's book Nature, Place, and Story: Rethinking Historic Sites in Canada is an engaging and thoughtful book that seeks to transform our understanding of Canada's historic sites, and in the process, connect these historic sites and their stories with current environmental issues in Canada. To accomplish this task, Claire Campbell retells the story of five key Canadian historic sites, namely L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, the Grand-Pré in Nova-Scotia, Fort William in Ontario, the Forks in Manitoba, and the Bar U Ranch in Alberta. In her retelling of these histories, Campbell often provides insights into the historical forces that led to their creation and later designation as Canadian historic sites, historical forces that frequently relate to national identity, modernity, regional politics, and the status of First Nations peoples in Canada. As a result, Campbell's work not only expands our understanding of Canada's historic sites and their connection to environmental issues but also the history of Canada since 1945.
Regionalism is a political ideology based on a collective sense of place or attachment, and is discussed in terms of Canadian society, culture, economy and politics (Westfall, 3). Canada is known internationally as a nation incorporating several multiregional interests and identities into its unification of culture. Its diverse population is comprised of numerous ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations and traditions; and all resides under one federal government. Ever since the founding of Canada, it has developed into regional cleavages and identities, based on various geographical topologies, lifestyles and economic interests (Westfall, 6). It is these characteristics which make it problematic for the federal government to represent all demands of its people on a national level. Regionalism is thus an issue within regards to political proficiency in the Federal government.
It was a beautiful morning in Halifax , Nova Scotia . All was quiet and peaceful until about 8:45 AM when 2 ships had collided. The SS-Mont-Blanc (A french ammunition ship) and the SS Imo(Belgian Relief Ship) had collided together so far starting a small fire. For approximately 20 minutes the people of Halifax had gathered around watching the 2 ships until shortly after 9 AM the SS Mont-Blanc had exploded.
According to The Chicago Tribune “Close to 3,000 people have been shot in Chicago so far this year.”In 2016 chicago homicide rate was at an all time high,last year there have been reported 762 people died from gun violence,”3,550 shooting incidents, and 4,331 shooting victims.”Hundreds of people have died from gun violence every year and also a portion of the murder rate is made up of innocent people that have also died from a firearm violence.Also in the united states the number of fatalities from a firearm were “33,594” according to the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention.I believe we should ban the use of firearms because the number of people that die or get injured from a firearm keeps dangerously increasing each year.
Modern Canada has been subject to several different issues that have raised a number of troublesome and difficult circumstances, though one of the most notable being the 1980 and 1995 Referendums in Quebec. The province has provided its residence, and the larger national population, with a great source of conversation and controversy. The Parti Quécécois introduced both referendums, although the party was under different leadership: Réne Lévesque in 1980 and Jaques Parizeau in 1995. Both were strongly in favor of the provinces secession from Canada. For the citizens and politicians of Quebec during both Referendums, the results speak volumes about voter turnout and the true support for the potential movement – which looked to achieve provincial sovereignty. This paper will explore the strategic wording of each question and the sentiments that surrounded the goings-on around each individual referendum.
For the purposes of this debate, I take the sign of a poor argument to be that the negation of the premises are more plausible than their affirmations. With that in mind, kohai must demonstrate that the following premises are probably false:
...through the Olympic sports. In 2010 the winter Olympic sports were held in Vancouver, Canada. Bob Nicholson President of Hockey Canada says “Coming into Vancouver 2010, everybody expected Canada to win gold in both men’s and women’s tournaments.” The world see’s Canada as a hockey country and we believe it to be true. No one was surprised when Canada won gold in the 2010 Vancouver men’s hockey Olympics. On top of having home as advantage and the entire country supporting and following the sport we are commonly known for, and adding to the 8th men’s hockey gold medal since 1920, Canada is known for having some of the best hockey players of all time. Famous Canadian legend players include . Wayne Gretzky ,Bobby Orr , Gordie Howe and Mario Lemieux. With many great players throughout history, the image and reputation Canada hold’s on hockey will always stay with us.
...as the locals and showcase path breaking and latest innovation to the older principle of science and inventions. The Canadian National Exhibition is the oldest annual fair of the world and held at Exhibition Place. The Toronto International Film Festival is a major crowd puller in the Yorkville neighborhood. The Distillery District, Queen West, Harbour front, the Entertainment District, Financial District and St. Lawrence Market is always thronged with curious tourist and locals. Eaton Centre is one of the most favored shopping destinations of North America. The GreekTown on the Danforth attracts huge crowd during the annual “Taste of Danforth” festival and is famous for the highest concentrations of restaurants per kilometer in the world. The Unique cultural fusion coupled with rich historic heritages make Toronto one of the most sought after cities of the world.
