    Is Canada Too Close of an Ally of the U.S

    Is Canada Too Close of an Ally of the U.S

    This paper looks at whether or not Canada may be properly considered as being far too close an ally of the United States – at least from a military and economic point of view. Although it is tempting to view Canada as being in a dangerously dependent position relative to the United States of America, the simple reality is that Canada needs those close ties with America. For one thing, although Canada is obviously a junior partner in NORAD and NATO, and although Canada appears to often engage in joint military exercises with US forces, the simple reality is that such military integration and alignment is necessary: at this paper is being written, Russia is making a move towards seizing arctic territories that Canada has a legitimate claim to; at the same time, Russia has recently engaged in “fly-bys” whereby Russian fighter jets ventured uncomfortably near Canadian airspace. Since Canada has under-spent on its military for decades, this nation is poorly-prepared to deal with a hostile assault from a well-armed and ambitious foreign nation; without US support, Canada would be very vulnerable, indeed. At the same time, although economic nationalists are frustrated at the degree of integration that has unfolded between Canada and the United States, the simple reality is that being part of a North American free trade zone has allowed Canada easy access to the richest market on earth; at the same time, the voracious American demand for Canadian natural resources has meant plenty of well-paying jobs in Canada (as well as other benefits that will be touched upon in due course). In general, it is fair to argue that Canada is too dependent militarily and economically upon the United States – but that close relationship also shelters Canada and gives this nation opportunities that other countries do not possess.…

    Comparing Trudeau's Essay To Francois Rocher

    Ever since the dramatic 1995 referendum, specifically, the degree of division it portrayed, Quebec became not only a discussion point, but a category of discussions questions. Ranging from debates in educational mediums, to Prime Minister election debate topics. We haven’t seen, as much dialogue regarding separatism recently, however, how a candidate speaks of their policies/views towards Quebec can either secure their victory as seen in the 2015 Federal election of Justin Trudeau. Or be a reason of their loss, as seen in the 2011 Federal election which sent the Liberals to third party status, duo to their horrendous results in Quebec ridings. However, the Trudeau article does more than just talk about Quebec separatism, but the federalist system in its entirety. Trudeau, in offering a last resort to the problems facing Canadian unity, also points out a fundamental issue of federalism. While doing so, however, also provides a solution, of Canada returning to its foundational constitutional principle of reason. Regarding the approaches of Quebec analysis, Trudeau on one hand focused some portion of the essay on every aspect, however, the essay was heavily: historically, institutionally, and social cleavage focused. While Rocher, was more focused on the: historical and psychological levels of…

    Canadian Culture Essay

    One can safely argue that the Canadian government was solely trying to protect its economy and its citizens. An important foundation of the global and political economy of any country is, of course, its people. Politics is fundamentally about how society and its people are organised in and for public life. A people are better understood by their culture and that culture helps to define and be defined by politics. To understand the politics of a society therefore requires understanding its culture, that is, the ways of life of its people - their beliefs, practices and values - and how these impact on politics and the global economy.
