...insightful regarding my country around me. In a way my emotions throughout the course are very helpful to gaining new knowledge. At first I found myself in the denial stage of all these “supposed” wrongs with Canada and Indigenous peoples, but quickly moved into the realization stage of what happened in Canada. Finally the third stage of acceptance and moving forward to discover new insights and learnings on how to move this country as a whole. Personally I believe the most important insight I have taken from this course is the idea of white privilege in Canada and how, one the white people of Canada are given a headstart and two how the Government of Canada is extremely driven on a white privilege system. Which is a major problem considering Canada’s claim for being one of the most diverse Countries in the world. Navigating struggles with course content for the most part was easy after the first couple classes, mainly getting through the denial stage and learning to accept the history. It is always a...

...Milena Tomol draws a comparison between socialistic and capitalistic societies in her essay “Equal Share of Miseries” and explains that each society has its own share of miseries. In the beginning she describes her experience about moving from Russia to Canada. Tomol finds that Canada differs from Russian in many ways. Furthermore, Tomol mentions the causes of miseries in Russia and the shortage of major life necessities such as food, clothing, and shelter. In addition, she discusses the limited options for food shopping and multifamily living arrangements referred to as a “Kommunalka”. She also mentions the importance of Russian citizenship in order to get a job, food coupons, and medical facilities. She ironically mentions that the food scarcity has made the food store clerks as important as doctors or lawyers. Tomol states that all Russian towns look identical because the government has enforced uniformity in the country. Consequently, Russians lack freedom and they act as puppets in the government hands. Towards the end of her essay, Tomol describes the Canadian capitalistic society. She says that Canadians are afraid of speaking their minds because they do not want to offend others. Therefore, the Canadians are not honest and they live in a phony materialistic society. To conclude, Tomol says that on one side, Russians are facing many miseries such as scarcity of food, clothing and living place, but they still sustain true relationships with others. On the other side, Canadians...

...the Income Tax Act (ITA). It reviews the reason for its existence and the principles that govern its interpretation. It then focuses on the ITA structure and explains how to search for and interpret its provisions. The module concludes with the study of two basic concepts: first, who must pay tax in Canada; second, what is the concept of income for purposes of the ITA. • The most desirable characteristics of an income tax are: o horizontal equity o vertical equity o neutrality o flexibility o certainty o feasibility and efficiency • The most important guidelines for evaluating tax policy are: o equity/fairness o simplicity and compliance o balance o stability o economic growth o international competitiveness • Since the ITA is used not only to collect taxes, but also to implement social, economic, and monetary policies, it is amended regularly, which explains its complexity. • Accountants are often faced with ethical questions when preparing tax returns or providing tax advice. • Tax advisers and preparers should be aware of third party civil penalties under the ITA (section 163.2 — Third Party Civil Penalties and IC 01-1). • The administration of the ITA is Canada Revenue Agency's (CRA) responsibility. CRA has specific legislated enforcement and administrative responsibilities. • The Canadian tax system is based on self-assessment. Taxpayers must file T1 income tax and benefit returns on specified dates. Since the Canadian tax system is self-assessing, the burden...

...Moving from my hometown, in which I believed was a diverse community, to Oregon State University, I came to realize I was not exposed to different cultures and communities besides my own or others who were prevalent within my town. Throughout High School I was exposed to clubs for the Latino community as well as the Japanese Community and this was due to their efforts. My High School was not one to speak or emphasize about social justice or about different communities such as LGBT or the Disabled. The opportunities I did have to learn or experience other cultures I was quick to become involved. Very fascinated with the Japanese Culture, I found an opportunity to study abroad throughout the summer and was selected. My experience in Japan led me to develop a more open mind and see the differences there is between Mexican, American and Japanese culture but also the same values these three countries have....

...Engelsk A – studentereksamen B: A royal salute to the Commonwealth The text ”A royal salute to the Commonwealth” begins by looking back at the history between Britain and Canada, showing the strong band between the nations by referring to the visit of King Edward VII in Canada, and later when the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (William and Kate) visited Canada. The British journalist and political commentator Peter Osborn has written the text. He is wondering if the Commonwealth organization still has its value and importance and what the future should bring for Britain concerning the Commonwealth of Nations. Throughout the text he argues the keeping and protecting of the Commonwealth questioning the influence of the European Union and the United States. Again an argument for Commonwealth is that Peter describes the organization as promoting humane and democratic values, but separates from neo-Conservatism because it doesn’t use force to promote these values. There’s been one central reason for the success of the Commonwealth, which is Queen Elisabeth. In the text she is described as the ”talismanic figure” and ”the heart of it all”. When she passes away it leaves a large position to fill. And Peter Osborne fears this huge gap. Who should fill the position when the perfectly fit applicant for the job, Nelson Mandela, isn’t here anymore? If the Commonwealth is handled in the wrong way, Peter fears that the institution may collapse. In addiction the Conservative...

...II. The Growth of Rural Adult Institutions: Education brought to the “Masses” By the late nineteenth century, urban populations were starting to transform Canada into an economically ‘modern’ nation; as a result, the developments of ‘modern systems of education’ were an important part of this project. However, the rural society, including the immigrant labour workers alongside Canada’s frontier, remained isolated and detached from any progressive movements in education. It wasn’t until the influence of various historic actors in ushering change within the rural society using educational reform movements. The most notable actors include Alfred Fitzpatrick and Moses Coady. Alfred Fitzpatrick and The Frontier College We must educate the...

The general expectation is that members will vote along party lines. Pros: Accountability meaning that you know who is power and responsible for certain parts of the government, higher level of efficiency, fiscal and budgetary concerns, Cons: Can not always vote according to beliefs and values, inefficiency Federalism: Important driver of politics within Canada. To what extent are the types of different conflicts between the different levels of conflicts.

...two different meanings, both referring to lines which radiate from (or intersect at) a radio antenna. The use of the radial method is more common in North America where the FCC and CRTC use it in Mediumwave transmission planning and regulation. In Europe and Asia, the use of radials has fallen out of favor since the 1970s and in many nations the radial antenna proof is only acceptable as an ancillary antenna proof. Canada and Mexico, due to lower population densities never implemented the fully complete radial models that the US FCC did. The radial method has been falling out of favor for methods based on Cartesian coordinates. Cartesian methods require more CPU time (and memory) to compute, but are understood to more realistically represent antenna systems. The main importance of the radial methods is that a quick antenna system proof can be completed in less than 15 minutes (often in only 5 minutes) not matter how complex the antenna system is of a typical home computers CPU time.

...With the mythical nature of Vimy Ridge in Canada fully fleshed out and debunked, why is it that the myth even exists? The need for a definitive symbol of Canadian identity is the answer. Jeff Keshen argues that “the rapid growth of autonomy in Australia and Canada following the Great War helped to ensure that popular discourse continued to depict superior, courageous and noble soldiers.” As nationalist politicians in both dominions sought greater autonomy, the image of a strong national army representing the nascent nation was no doubt invaluable. For example, Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King drew heavily on the battle’s symbolism in his rhetoric. The unity that the myth built was necessary in moving towards an autonomous Canadian nation, and “the power of the mythicized version of the war experience, then, was considerable.” Rather than delve into the more technical examples Canadian successes during the First World War, it is far easier for a politician to capture the romantic, nationalist spirit of an audience with a...
