I chose the above article because I think it shows how Canadians are expressing their diversity and culture through public events.  they are not ashamed of who they are. They are using what they naturally have to educate others and bring everyone together. These are the immigrants that aren’t trying to conform and act a certain why just because they immigrated.

I chose this above article because it shows how Canada is discouraging immigrants just because of their cultures.  The article talks about how if you have an Asian name your less likely to get called back for a job position.  If they won’t get called just because of a name they were born with what else is Canada doing?

I picked these resources because I think they display Canada correctly in a positive way.  The rainbow maple leaf flag shows the diversity, equality, and freedom us Canadian’s have.  Each individual is allowed to have their own beliefs and opinions and live freely.  I decided on Terry Fox’s story because it shows the strength, perseverance, and determination us Canadian’s also have.  It also shows how selfless we are.  Terry Fox was running to donate and after he passed we still kept that alive. We run every year and keep the tradition going following donations.  A time in Canada’s history that wouldn’t reflect these resources that I’ve picked would be 1942, internment of Japanese Canadians.  Some 22,000 Canadian citizens and residents were taken from their homes.  This does not represent the reputation Canada has today or how Canadian’s act.  During this time in 1942 some Canadian’s did not have freedom and there was no equality.  But thankfully that has changed and we now live in a free, equal, accepting, multicultural country.
