First, is put their hands on culture protection, use legislations to protect its media, which was known as Broadcasting Act in 1932. In 1968, it took one step further, the media in Canada must be owned by Canadians and the CRTC(Canadian Radio-Television Telecommunication Commission) ruled that during Prime Time(6 Pm to 12 Pm), at lest 50% of programming must be ‘Canadian Content’. The main well, Canadian government put a lot of efforts onto culture study. The Massey Commission in 1951 was the first time that Canadian government took an eye on culture industry and have a conclusion that Government should took actions on to it. Another important study that Canadian government did is the Fowler Committee; it showed Canada’s TV programs were too American. If Canada wants to less American, the government must do something. As results of those studies, Canada put huge budget into culture industry. In 1936 the government started Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, which is founded by the government but not owned by it. The National Film Board aim to help Canadians to make films about Canada financially was formed in 1939. It gives money to anybody who has an idea to make a movie about Canada.

    World War 1 was a pivotal event that affected Canada in many ways. Not only for the men that fought for their country, but also for the thousands of women that contributed behind the soldiers of the front lines. It was a heavy change for them; going from dependant housewife to being employed at some of the largest industries and factories. World War 1 was centered on Europe and began in the summer of 1914 (Wikipedia). That summer changed the lives of many families in Europe, and all over the world.

    Historiography of Quebec

    • 18 Pages

    In contemporary scholarship, the historiography of Quebec has been a study of great vitality, though tremendous controversy. This is particularly evident in the examination of the origins and implications of the Quiet Revolution, a period in Quebec history that is not only arguably marked by a large-scale rejection of past values and rapid modernization, but also by a subsequent paradigm shift in Quebec’s historiography, one that moved from a traditional understanding of Quebec as a distinct entity to a more contemporary perception of Quebec that attempts to “normalize” Quebec’s past by describing its provincial development as being in conjunction with the rest of Western society.…

    On July 1st of 1867, the passing of the British North America Act indicated that Canada had become a nation. Before Confederation, what we know as Canada today was merely a bunch of scattered British colonies. When the colonies united to form the Dominion of Canada, they were able to depend upon themselves for economic and security reasons. Because they traded goods amongst themselves without tariffs and depended on each other for protection, an initial sense of unity was formed within the new Dominion. This also led Canada to reduce its reliance on Britain and thus became more independent. Canada's main affairs may have been controlled by Britain at that time, but this event served as a prelude to Canada's growing nationhood and has spurred this young nation to take its first steps in building its own identity.…

    New Brunswick joined Confederation on July 1, 1867. New Brunswick was one of the first province/territory to join Confederation along with Nova Scotia and a few other colonies.

    The Canadian Monarchy

    More attention needs to be on the part that Monarchies have played regarding the evolution of Canadian democracy. Many Canadians tend to forget the importance of the Crown, though they are not to blame as it is a subject hardly heard of or spoken about in school curricula and media outlets. For five centuries, the Crown has been a symbol of strength in Canada. With an extremely stable and responsible government, the Crown’s involvement is disregarded and forgotten. According to many polls, majority of the Canadians who are aware of the Canadian Monarchy wish to abolish it completely and would rather have a head of state from within Canada but, “Monarchy advocates argue for its continued relevance in parliamentary function and as a symbol of…

    Free trade is a policy of imposing no restrictions on the movement of goods and services between countries. It will lead to the most efficient allocation of world resources and higher standards of living for all participating countries. Yet countries in the world see a need for protection. Protectionism is a policy of protecting home industries from foreign competition by the imposition of trade barriers on foreign goods and services. This is because individual governments in the countries are more concerned with achieving national objectives and improving the welfare of the people in their respective countries than with maximizing world output or increasing the welfare of the world.…
