Personal Narrative: If I Were The Prime Minister Of Canada

295 Words1 Page

If I were the prime minister of Canada, I would strive to accomplish and strengthen three major things. First, I would make sure that our educational system maintains strong and will make others succeed in life, second, I would make sure that everyone has equal and fair treatment in our society, and lastly, I would make sure every Canadian family can live happily by reducing tax.

Our education system in Canada is not one in which we should be very proud of.
(Listen first, then questions) Yes, it is true that most of Canada does have excellent schools, colleges that highly excel in a certain subject, gifted schools, and learning institutions, but our educational standards are not set as high as other countries. For example, in some countries,

    “Just watch me.”Joseph Philippe Pierre Yves Elliott Trudeau said in 1970. He meant it as he fought to keep Quebec a part of Canada. Not only did he do that, he managed to be prime minister for 16 years, as well as being Canada’s youngest leader at the time. He brought greater civil rights to Canadians, Quebec citizens mainly. His charismatic personality matched his innovative ideas, that enhanced Canada for the better. For his entire political career, not only did Canada watch him, the whole world watched him change the country for the better. He made a radical change to Canada by championing the idea of officially implementing bilingualism. Trudeau was a trailblazer from the moment he was elected.

  • Mackenzie King - Canadian Prime Minister

    1039 Words  | 3 Pages

    "It is what we prevent, rather than what we do that counts most in Government." (Mackenzie King august 26, 1936) This statement sums up the best secrets of Mackenzie King's success as prime minister, and perhaps, the key to governing Canada effectively. King's record of prime minister is sometimes difficult to judge. He had no uninteresting images, he gave no repetitive speeches, and he champions no drastic stage. He is remembered for his easygoing, passive compromise and conciliation (Gregory, page 267). Yet Mackenzie King led Canada for a total of twenty-two years, through half the Depression and all of the Second World War. Like every other prime minister, he had to possess ambition, endurance and determination to become prime minister and, in spite if appearances, his accomplishments in that role required political acuity, decisiveness and faultless judgment.

  • Chinese Education Vs Canadian Education

    899 Words  | 2 Pages

    As the evidence shows that, "The Chinese value education as a stepping stone to success, and children - especially only children - are under a lot of pressure to excel in school. There is also an unspoken code of conformity, and there is a lot of pressure to fit in, for to be singled out is the penultimate in humiliation, causing students to 'lose face' in front of their peers. In addition to academics, parents also try and enroll their children in a wide variety of after-school activities to enhance their overall development."("History of Chinese Education, Five Necessities of Chinese Culture", Paragraph 2) This evidence shows not only teachers but also parents or students from China are still keeping the traditional mind to study. Thousands years ago in ancient China, schools are competitive, students needs to have high quality of studying and good relations with the school as well. Even they might feel stressful on learning when they are in elementary school. Nowadays, parents still think their kid must have the best education, more strong points. Childrens are learning lots of skills and knowledge when they are extremely young. In Canada, it's totally different. Students like team-work, they don't have bias on any schools. They study breezily without any pressure. So, more traditional makes Chinese education different from Canadian

  • The Prime Minister of Canada

    1908 Words  | 4 Pages

    This essay has argued that there are many limitations that the Prime Minister is subjected too. The three most important are federalism in Canadian society, the role of the Governor General, and the charter of rights and freedoms. I used two different views of federalism and illustrated how both of them put boundaries on the Prime Minister’s power. Next I explain the powers of the governor general, and explained the ability to dissolve parliament in greater detail. Last I analyzed how the charter of rights of freedoms has limited the Prime Minister’s power with respect to policy-making, interests groups and the courts. The Prime Minister does not have absolute power in Canadian society, there are many infringements on the power that they have to respect.

  • What Are The Three Levels Of Government In Canada

    The federal level ensures public safety for all Canadian citizens during times of terrorism and natural disasters, reassuring individuals that their safety is a top priority. The provincial government provides an organized foundation for the education systems as they are able to assist and encourage individuals who are of age to attend school. At the same time, they ensure the health care system is being funded appropriately and is sustaining all necessary health related needs for citizens. Finally, the municipal government guarantees that waste management is taken into account and is being done so in a societal and environmentally cautions manor. The municipal level as well is sufficient when it comes to water regulation and treating and distributing water to households amongst a city. Overall, the Canadian government not only meets, but exceeds my expectations when putting into account the most important issues I believe they are

  • Pierre Trudeau

    Pierre Trudeau Pierre Trudeau, former Prime Minister of Canada, was once described as "A French Canadian proud of his identity and culture, yet a biting critic of French-Canadian society, determined to destroy its mythology and illusions". He has also been identified as "A staunch, upholder of provincial autonomy holding the justice portfolio in the federal government". Such cumulative appraisal and observation made by past fellow bureaucrat provides high testimonial for the ex-Democratic Socialist. This critique will establish and dispute the prime directives that Trudeau had advocated in his own book written during the years 1965 to 1967. The compilation of political essays featured in his book deal with the diverse complexities of social, cultural and economical issues that were predominant in Canadian politics during the mid 1960's.

I would like to discuss all of these issues separately because that all of them are very ingredients of the creation of the great Canadian Standard of Living.

  • The Social Conflict Paradigm

    Wealthy schools have more opportunities for their students to become an elite, were as poor schools don 't have the budget for new technology and more academically inclined teachers. This results in the wealthy families children to move on to becoming a “somebody” and the poor families don 't have that opportunity unless they can get scholarships. If the canadian government gave more money to poor and small schools the poor would more able to become a “somebody” or an elite. Say the government did give money to the poor schools would the students even try to become an elite?I think we have been well trained by the elites to not challenge them, and those who do usually don 't make it that far.
