Much like your Grandmother’s secret recipe for making her Sunday morning warm, Saskatoon berry filled scones, creating a sustainable future for Canadian communities requires the right ingredients. One of the most crucial ingredients for a community’s success is the involvement of the Co-operatives. Since relocating to Regina, I can see the positive impact the Co-operatives, specifically the Co-op Refinery, has had in contributing to the prosperity of the residents who call Regina home. As a newly adopted resident of Regina, I have experienced how the Co-operatives not only impact local communities, but how they impact, change and provide a secure future for people, people just like me.…
Ever since it was passed in 1876, the Indian Act has stirred negative feedback. It is a paternalistic and intrusive piece of legislature that essentially controls the political and day-to-day lives of the First Nations people. It is an Aboriginal versus white struggle that has lasted for more than a century. But now this is not entirely true. The indigenous communities of Canada have internalized the contents of the Indian Act and made it Aboriginal versus Aboriginal. This essay will attempt to explain why this reversal has happened and what it has done to the indigenous identity.…

The history of colonial is a major reason for race discrimination in Canada. Morrison and Borsa (2014) study that during the history of pre-confederation in Canada, colonialist creed and European cultural and racial hegemony contributed to equivocal relationship with Aboriginal people. In brief, the interrelation between these two ethnicities was vibrating midst overt hostility and patronizing submission. Morrison and Borsa (2014) also point out that during the process that those colonialist struggled to assimilate native people, enormous Aboriginal people started to immigrated to exotic country. Thereby, it caused population loss, dislocation, extensive social disruption and widespread sedenterization among the Aboriginal people. This influences…
In an era of the globalized economy, businesses no longer operate in the national base. This is a good opportunity for Canadian company open a global business.

First Peoples have been treated with repugnant unfairness for centuries around the globe. They are even unable to escape this malicious inequality in one of the world’s most diverse and multicultural countries, Canada. Canada’s progress in the advancement of the rights of First Nations who live on the country’s own soil is disgracefully slow. This atrocious behaviour “on a number of occasions has been criticized in international forums for the miserable conditions that affect… First Nations peoples, conditions that are comparable to those of developing countries” (“Prejudices”). Canadian Aboriginals have been treated with the utmost disrespect in their native country.…
Diversity and immigration have played a major role in Canada’s past, present and future, creating global strength and unity. Canada has become very well known for being a multicultural nation made up of many ethnicities, however this did not exist up until the second World War (WWII). It was during that period of time that the world realized how devastating discrimination can be and how important it is to be accepting of all races. Previously, Canada also showed discrimination against its immigrants through very selective processes and expensive duties. For example, the Chinese Immigration Act of 1885 posed certain restrictions on the Chinese immigrants. Very few were accepted and those that were had to pay a high head tax, reaching up to $500…

The Vancouver Olympics appeared “to be rooted in multiculturalism” (Robyn,2009). Multiculturalism is described as an “ethos which values not only the preservation and perpetuation of various cultures but also cross-cultural understanding and harmonious cultural co-existence” (Garcea 1, 2009). This only strengthen the idea that exists in the mind of many people around the world, that Canadians take pride in multiculturalism, which in many cases is true when compared to other countries but has not always been the case. The Vancouver Olympics gave “the four Host First nations” a group that represented the four bands that are the original citizens of the Vancouver area (CBC, 2010), an opportunity to showcase their culture in front of the whole world and was a great platform to teach people more about the culture and festivities. When interviewed, Maddy McCallum reported that the Winter Olympics gave her the “opportunity to showcase her culture to the world… it’s also helping erase some of the painful scars in her people’s history” (CBC, 2010). Though Maddy and many other people got the opportunity to showcase their culture, many people left Vancouver without the knowledge of Canada’s history against the people of the land, rather many people left with the strengthened belief about Canada being the “polite” nation it is commonly known for. The exploitation of the land and the people who initially possessed it still remains a subject that is hidden behind the Canadian flag for many people around the…
