The story of the winning goal by Crosby in the 2010 winter Olympics or the story of Henderson’s winning goal in the 1972 summit series were memorable moments where resonance was formed in Canada as we supported and celebrated. Hockey can be shown as a means of solidarity throughout the nation, but is this actually true? Is hockey portraying an ideology of Canada as one nation or are there issues within the so called “Canada’s sport” that we are passionate towards? Hockey can be a very entertaining sport to watch or play, but in reality it can be used as a symbol of an arena where various differences and similarities are demonstrated to the society. Exposures of differences can create many social cleavages within our nation, but these differences can provide a means for Canadian to overcome this obstacle.
By calling hockey our national identity, the passion of hockey that our nation shows is indescribable. We love hockey because, it is a fast paced game, contains violence, and aggressiveness. These elements are apparently shown from male players whereas, it is felt that women play hockey differently unlike the men. Hewson speaks about this matter by stating, “Hockey continues to signify a particular kind of masculinity-in action, as typified by the words of my hockey-playing brother- ‘it’s the rush of endorphins, that you feel because of the speed; it’s the velocity; it’s the physicality’” (196). In another statement made by Hewson, she also mentions how boys at an earlier age are given more importance and are “naturally” forced upon to play hockey at an early age where parents must take time out to take them to practice and participate in tournaments (193). Throughout history, mothers were shown as waking up early in the morning...

...ith all the differences, both detectives (provinces) can move on and continue to expand the similarities that are between the two, so in reality we should move on and continue to accept our differences and become one nation.
In conclusion, hockey can be used as a tool to observe our similarities and differences that our nation is having in terms of being cohesive. As we are seen as Canada being one nation, our actual political issues do create partition within us internally. We need to reflect upon why this occurs in societies and in games such as hockey. If we can take hockey as our prime example because it means such a great importance to us and resolve the difference that occurs within the sport, it can help us not only solve the problems that are connected to the sport, but also solve the problems that are interconnected as a whole between societies in Canada.

- Quebec Separatismopinion essayCanada 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.

It’s our national game, a part of our culture, our history, our national identity. Hockey is one thing about which we have always been able to say we are the best"(Gruneau 4). On September 1972, Canada and the Soviet Union played an eight game hockey series, 4 in Canada, and 4 in Moscow, Russia, at the height of the Cold War. Originally, the series goal was to put on a good show before the start of the NHL season. However, it was made with political intentions in mind. There were many different views of what political importance the series might have. "Sports is a catalyst for international understanding and solidarity not to mention brotherhood and when it’s all over"(Camp, 1972). There was a possibility that the series was played as a means of bringing the two countries together. For the majority of Canadians, it was a battle of ideals: "our lifestyle against theirs, communism versus capitalism"(Morrison 205, 1992). This attitude was shown throughout the series. Nationalistic pride was through the roof. The Soviets challenge to Canadian power in hockey concerned Canadians. The idea of sport and politics for Canada and the Soviet Union was very different. While Russia used hockey as a tool for politics, Canadian hockey kept its own cultural identity. As hockey moved towards a more international level, the sport was shown more as a political and national symbol through commerc...

It is said that we as a people, differ so greatly with our diverse cultures, religions, and backgrounds that we cannot come together and exist together as a strong, united nation. In his book, Lament for a Nation, George Grant tells the reader that “…as Canadians we attempted a ridiculous task in trying to build a conservative nation in the age of progress, on a continent we share with the most dynamic nation on earth. The current history is against us.” (1965) Originally directed towards the Bomarc Missile Crisis, the book argues that whatever nationalism Canada had was destroyed by globalization as well as the powerful American sphere of influence.

What some these factors that make Canada different from areas around it? How can a country that dominates such large land mass and that bares such vast cultural differences, be united? Can Canadians ever come to agreement upon the values they hold to be important? The debates of these questions continue to plague Canadian parliaments, especially when examining the differences between Canada and the province Quebec. Even though many argue and hope for Canada’s unity in the future, the differences in political socialization and culture present throughout the country creates a blurry vision of Canadian harmony and makes it extremely difficult to realistically vision Canadian unification.
