The Role Of Immigrants In Lower Canada

In the early decades of the 20th century, over one in five people living in Canada were immigrants. As immigrants were introduced to the freshly structured land and economy of Canada it began to show that immigration was essential to the financial structure of Canada. Some of the reasons that immigration was important to the Canadian economy in the early 20th century is that it prevented American expansion, Railway Business benefited from providing service to western Canada, immigrants started new businesses in Canada and industrialization and urbanization.

Stephen Harper has continually disgraced Canada and its citizens throughout his almost 10 year reign as Prime Minister. There are many problems that have risen throughout Harper’s governing; the widening of the wealth gap, the lack of women’s rights and aboriginal rights are just a few. With an election around the corner, it’s time for change.

The issue of electoral reform has become more important than ever in Canada in recent years as the general public has come to realize that our current first-past-the-post, winner-take-all system, formally known as single-member plurality (SMP) has produced majority governments of questionable legitimacy. Of the major democracies in the world, Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom are the only countries that still have SMP systems in place. Interestingly enough, there has been enormous political tension and division in the last few years in these countries, culminating with the election results in Canada and the USA this year that polarized both countries. In the last year we have seen

Canada’s immigration policy has got fairer from the middle of the century on to the end of the century. At the start of the century, Canada’s immigration policy, Canada’s immigration policy wasn’t fair but as the century comes to an end, Canada’s immigration policy became entirely different. There were a lot of racism in the first half of the century but most of this racism in the immigration policy disappeared from 1967 and on. As the years go by, Canada’s immigration policy gets a lot reasonable.

Canada is a nation built on immigration, and as the world becomes an ever increasingly hostile place more and more have chosen to try and make Canada their home. This melting pot of different cultures has created an overall atmosphere of acceptance, and is teaching younger generations a sense of community, empathy, and togetherness. Sharing our space and learning to grow with different ethnicities has perpetuated our status as a friendly, caring, and loyal nation, that many are willing to risk everything for in exchange for becoming a part of it.

It’s time for a change, America! We must break free from the British. It is time to stop allowing the British to use us based on what is best for crown and parliament. Americans are fed up with the all the taxes imposed on us. It's time to break free from the ways of the British and develop American ways. It’s time to fight for our freedoms and build American they way we want it. We must break away from the all of the taxes the British have imposed so that we can have financial prosperity. We must start doing things for ourselves and we don’t need the British telling us how to live our lives. Americans need a voice. In other words, it is time for a change, we must stop the British from suppressing our political, economical, and religious

Thesis: Although their were contributions in improving the lifestyles for the native Canadians by the Canadian government the prejudice they faced does not nearly way out of how they were treated through deficient access to health care, poor living conditions, and lack of education.

Now that you are up to date with currents events I will briefly touch on some strong point of the Canadian democratic system. Citizens in Canada indirectly hold power in a free electoral system and are given better representation and more freedoms for their citizens than other systems of government. The freedom of speech, freedom of political expression, and the freedom of the media allow citizens to vote in favour of their own interest. Democracy in Canada is rooted on the grounds of equal rights; this gives people equality before the law, human rights, free and fair elections and so on. In comparison to the Third World, power is in the hands of the “Big Men”, the police and army are the ones who hold control not the people and where corruption is a norm, Canada may look like a utopia. Another strong point in the Canadian political system is everyone no matter race or sex has the right to vote as long as you are a Canadian citizen over the age of eighteen. Until the 60s/70s parties would make up electoral boundaries this was done to increase the number of votes in that location this is called gerrymander, this was unfair because certain parties had an advantage over others. However, now under the Electoral Boundaries Commissions this problem does not occur and no party has the upper hand over another. Interestingly the

Canadians seem to follow in the footsteps of the Americans, but change it to make it better. In, Canada, our system of government is a blend of British and United States practices, with some Canadian additions, made to fit our own particular needs. Of course, British, United States, and Canadian governments all have a lot in common, since both Canada and the United States learned from Britain the all important idea of responsible government, which rest on the rule of law and the consent of people. We, paid close attention of the problems that were raised in the United States federal system and changed it considerably for Canada, to avoid what they we thought were its weakest points and make it fit better with the practices of British

On the 30th of June 2012, the government of Canada had implemented cuts to the Interin Federal Health; (IFH), which is the health insurance program for refugees in Canada. The refugees were given minimal health coverage until their refugee status was accepted as truth, thus being granted provincial coverage as every Canadian is given. Up till this change Ottawa had covered the cost of drugs, and medical care for refugee claimants until their claims had been accepted as truth. Since the beginning of Canada, immigration has played a crucial part in the growth of the economy, and Canada in general. Yet the health and social benefits they receive have become increasingly restricted. To slash health aid for individuals escaping their native countries

Warsan Shire said, "No one leaves home unless the home is the mouth of a shark”. A person only leaves his home to get new opportunities. You do not leave your home country for a foreign country where you might not have an identity or stable housing. Do you think you'll be shocked if you ever had to face problems like unemployment or health concerns in your first winter?. What if you faced all of these situations as a new immigrant?

I am sorry that it took me a while to write back, it is not easy to send a letter. I am living in Upper Canada, along with a large number of other immigrants. I work long hours every day and get very little sleep. Life is tough here, I construct buildings and maintain farms for a living. Going places due to the lack of roads is inconvenient. There are no roads which make it very hard to travel. I live in an unpleasant house, and it was often overcrowded. Residing in Upper Canada is tough since I did not own any property which means that I can not vote. All the immigrants don’t have much say in the government. I hope that this will change shortly and everyone can have a say in what they believe. Don’t worry about me; I will be okay. Take care

There are various issues that revolve around Canadian politics. These issues can include various subjects, such as economics, multiculturalism, health care, immigration, and foreign policy. An important issue in Canada that is discussed in this essay is Canada’s constant changes to its immigration policy in order to improve its economic goals and the labour market. These issues are changing by different policies that the Canadian government are putting into place, which creates a more strict system in choosing who can immigrate into the country. Three articles that thoroughly analyze Canada’s immigration policy in order to implement these changes are the following. The first article is named: “New Directions in Immigration Policy: Canada’s

Canada has continuously served as a home to immigrants and refugees from decade to decade harbouring people from a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds. The first set of immigrants to settle in the country came from Britain, the United States and from other nationalities mostly including immigrants from Europe who were either desperate to escape from religious or political turmoil or were simply attracted to Canada’s economic promise. Soon after the Canadian confederation in 1867, immigrants from Irish and Chinese backgrounds who occupied most of the country were used as workers and the demand for labourers to

Ethnic diversity is a key driver for global market change. In 2015, Canada imported vegetables that worth approximately $851 million (Statistics Canada 2015). In the GTA alone, ethnic consumers are buying around $400 million ethnic vegetables per year (Harris, 2017). So the market demand of ethnic vegetables creates a niche market in the GTA (Nawaratne and Filson, 2012). The North American ethnic food market is growing by around 5% yearly. In 2010, over 1500 ethnic food products launched in the US which worth about $63 billion (AAFC, 2017). From 2012, annual import of okra is about 3,515 tons which worth $7,758,562 (Elford, 2013). Canada’s internal halal market is about $12 million and globally $580 million per year (AAFC, 2017). The Vineland
