Various Perspectives of Canadian Identity

1. Above is a photograph of a quote by John Diefenbaker. I chose this resource because it clearly shows the rights of a Canadian Citizen. It shows the freedom a Canadian has and how proud and privileged we are to be in Canada. It also points out our responsibility to stand by all the other Canadians. I really like when he says “free to oppose what I believe wrong,” because it’s like he is saying “I can express my opinion even if you dont think the same.”

2. This reflects my perspective of Canadian Identity because many people don’t realize how lucky they are to be Canadian and forget about the responsibility that comes with being a Canadian Citizen. I think this is an accurate portrayal of being Canadian because it is written by John Diefenbaker who is a former Prime Minister of Canada.

3. I picked a different time period; The 1700’s. Most men would agree with the statement completely but all the women would beg to differ. Women were not treated equally and did not have equal rights. Women would not be allowed to speak without fear or express their opinions or chose who would govern the country.

  1. I picked this website because it shows all the different things the Canadian Red Cross/Canadians  helps with, not only in Canada but world wide.
  2. I think this website clearly shows an accurate portrayal of Canada because all the programs are programs that I have actually heard about. For example the Migrant and Refugee Services or Health Services in Canada I have seen before. (In the news, on tv etc.)
  3. I picked a different cultural background; Syria. They would have a very positive view of the website seeing how the Canadian Red Cross had helped refugees and migrants which might have helped someone they had known. So they definitely agree with my perspective on the resource. Since the civil war in Syria, many Syrians migrated to different countries. And Canada did help around 45,000 refugees!
