HISTORY _ JOHN A MACDONALD
I decided to do an interview with Sir Hugh Allan’s son because we thought that that having someone that discovered and knew a lot about the Pacific Scandal would be very informing. He gave us an inside story about some information on what his father has told him. We pretended that we were interviewing him and asking him questions about the evidence he has from the CPR; primary and secondary sources. We included information about the phone call Sir John A Macdonald gave to Sir Hugh Allan to give him another $10 000. He said that it was the last time that he was going to call, which made everyone think that the Pacific Scandal was true; his speech about how he throws himself upon the country, the House, and the future generations. John A Macdonald believes that he has been treated wrong. He knows that he did so much for the country; therefore he does not deserve to be treated like this. He fought the battle of confederation, the battle of Union, the battle of Dominion of Canada. John A Macdonald believes that even his enemies, will admit that he is no boaster; the comic article, that has a picture of Sir John Macdonald saying that he sees no fault in the scandal he did; the black and whitewash shows a picture of his good side, where his friends are protecting, and his bad side, where his enemies are bringing out. We also talk about the Great Seal In our opinions, adding a little humor to our drama was a good idea because it’ll grab the audiences’ attention and they will be amused by it.

    In the opening passage of “The Halifax Explosion 1917” MacLennan established his narrative authority by writing from the point of view of the people of Halifax. MacLennan used purposeful degradation in his descriptions of the Mont Blanc to make it abundantly clear that this vessel was so unassuming that going unnoticed was not out of the ordinary in this situation. This bias altered the portrayal of the event and leaned away from a traditional, purely historic rendition, to more of a storied, pleading approach. The use of narrative authority to change the perspective here is critical because it allows the reader to become engrossed in the perspective of the people of Halifax, creating a vantage point not usually seen in most historical depictions.…

    Lieutenant-General Sir Arthur Currie was the most capable soldier that Canada has produced. Certainly, he did not look like the great soldier he had become. A very tall man, at six-foot-four, he was also somewhat overweight. Through his successes as the Commander of the Canadian Corps, he knew how to delegate authority and stand by the decisions of his subordinates.…

    The Secret Lives of Sgt. John Wilson is an appropriate novel to have included in the grade 12 curriculum. It is advantageous in learning about Canadian history, which is what most of ELA A/B 30 is based upon. This book is worth its value in the potential time expended because of the significance that this affair had on Saskatchewan’s past. The way this book has been formatted makes it nearly impossible to doubt the authenticity of the story, and is a mystery unfolded for literary audiences everywhere.…

    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…
