Document Summary
Polb52 lecture 12 april 4th 2013. An immigrant country: like australia and the us, canada is a young country and a colonial country, aboriginal peoples, or first nations, have been in canada for at least 15000. Years: european settlement, however, is a relatively recent phenomenon. If we represent this timeframe on the calendar of a single year, and treat 15000 years ago as january 1, and today as december 31st, then the first non- aboriginals did not arrive in canada until about december 20th. When the federal government cut its cost because of national debt, sometimes, the provinces will obtain the debt because they keep welfare programs working. Exam: definitions are on the parts after the midterm, big themes: why canadians think and canadians behave the way that they do. Are we autonomous as individuals rather than influenced by factors around us that are beyond our control: consensus: it"s the mix of both.
