were two languages in Canada. I just thought that there was one way to speak to my father and another to speak to my mother." -- Louis Stephen St. Laurent. As the second French Canadian prime minister of Canada, Louis St. Laurent had a very influential role to Canada. St-Laurent became prime minister in 1948, after a selection authorized by a Liberal Convention. He was a well-respected prime minister and was given the name "Uncle Louis" for reshaping and improving Canada as an international well-known
Canada became an emerging country after the Second World War. There was a need for Canada to identify themselves as a distinct nation from Britain and the United States. The Trans Canada Highway became a visible nationalistic figure that set apart Canada from other countries. The Trans Canada Highway was a significant structure built in 1949 through 1961 that emerged as a result of a newfound unity and nationalistic view in Canada. Although there were many different political, personal and economical

approaches Banff National Park has taken to promote coexistence are constructing wildlife underpasses and overpasses, and reintroducing bison to the park. With 4.5 million vehicles just passing through the park on the Trans Canada Highway, road mortality was a prominent issue (Evans, 2013). Highways, including those that are fenced, result in fragmentation of wildlife habitat, sensory disturbance, and obstruct wildlife diversity. Species are inherently part of a bigger more complex ecological system and require
Instead of just quitting, he decided to do something beneficial. He impacted Canada like no one ever has before. He decided to run from coast to coast on only one leg in order to raise money. He called it the Marathon of Hope. Contributions to cancer research, inspiring others to persevere and strive for success, and having many physical memorials in Canada are some of the many ways this young man has and still is impacting Canada. Primarily, Terry Fox has helped improve cancer
Employment and Technology in Canada Canada's economy has changed throughout the course of history regarding their change in technology which revolutionized the country drastically. Although it revolutionized the country, it brought Canada through many changes in both good ways and bad ways. Canada's workforce in the economy has also changed significantly regarding their employment over the years in terms of, the industrialization and mechanization of primary industries in the early 20th century
has impacted Canadian identity because of the way we are seen by the world and what we do to give ourselves this image. An example is in Vancouver, February 2005 protestors blocked off electric Commercial Drive to protest the expansion of the Trans-Canada Highway . The protestors took an interesting approach to this as people decided to express themselves and play a good old friendly game of hockey. The protest of a community coming together to play a game for a cause they believe in shows how much

The increased demand for military goods resulted in enhanced manufacturing. In Canada, with the troops returning and getting married, causing a baby boom, there was increased large-scale production of a variety of products, which helped to boost its economy. Through increased industrialism, consumerism, and optimism, Canada’s economy

From deforestation there are many problems that can be caused by this, environmental, social, economic and political issues all from the destruction of the rainforests across the world. There has been dramatic deforestation across the world for some time now and
My choice for this particular tourism destination is an island off of the coast of the huge Canadian metropolis of Vancouver called Vancouver Island. This particular island was ranked second in 2009 on Condé Nast Traveler’s Reader’s Choice Awards “Top Islands of North America;” Vancouver Island is a relatively large island with a population of 759,366 inhabitants. It is home to British Columbia’s capital city, otherwise known as Victoria. The island is separated from the mainland by four different
suffering, however, using the economic knowledge and theory we now know, it is easy to see where mistakes were made and how those events could have been handled better. It was a brave decision for Canada to discard the outdated system of the gold standard before other world leaders, but perhaps if Canada had more autonomy regarding exchange rate flexibility the Depression would have looked marginally brighter. The tariffs implemented by the Bennett government were clearly not the policy reforms needed
The Sale of Indian Textiles in Canada Canada, with its economic and political stability offers a variety of business opportunities. With such a large population of immigrants, Canada is known for its acceptance of diverse cultures. English and French are Canada's official languages and there are many other languages spoken freely by diverse racial groups on Canadian soil. Many different religions are also practiced freely and peacefully in Canada. India has a population of 986.6 million people
During the 1950’s, Canada experienced numerous scenarios which sparked its citizens to be proud. These events included the teenage outbreak, a rise in consumerism and the sudden growth in population. The teenagers were a huge deal in the development of Canada. Teenagers wanted to differentiate themselves from adults and the rest of society (Armstrong et al. 134). Teenagers dressed themselves different along with acting different as well. (Armstrong et al. 135). The new products were being created
Traffic Safety The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) defines aggressive driving as "the operation of a motor vehicle in a manner that endangers or is likely to endanger persons or property"—a traffic and not a criminal offense like road rage. Examples include speeding or driving too fast for conditions, improper lane changing, tailgating and improper passing. Approximately 6,800,000 crashes occur in the United States each year; a substantial number are estimated to be caused
Geographical Context: Beacon Hill is a neighbourhood on the east side of Ottawa, and formerly a part of the City of Gloucester. It is bounded on the east by the Greenbelt and on the south by Highway 174. Its two parts, Beacon Hill North and South, are separated by Montreal Road. Hypothesis: The question is how land use influences the livability and sustainability of Beacon Hill; the hypothesis is that land use has an outsize influence on liveability and sustainability. For example, if the land use
The ongoing targeting of Aboriginal Children and Women is a significant impediment to Indigenous development in Canada and the wider world. In this essay I will critically interpret government-led development initiatives in Canada with a comparative analysis of New Zealand. I will address development interventions throughout Canada’s history with a focus on Indigenous women and children with specific reference to Indigenous womens maternities. First I will look at the progression of development interventions

genealogical exploration, outdoor enthusiast packages, and much more. Lastly, I would have to say that Pictou needs to take some of the great signage they have throughout the town and use it to inform those of who have not driven the ten minutes off the highway. If they want to generate revenue through tourism without spending the money they don’t have, they need to make potential visitors aware of what they can offer them.
