Identity is the values and characteristics that define a person. My Canadian identity consists of three main factors: respect for the sacrifices my family and others have made for our country; gratitude for the values of Canada and the unity within our country and throughout the world; and pride in Canada’s accomplishments. Canada’s historical events have had the greatest influence on my identity, specifically the World Wars and the Halifax explosion.
I chose this question because growing up I had heard stories of my family's participation in the World Wars.
Je pense que la Crise du canal de Suez est un événement trop peu connu de notre histoire et qu'il mérite d'être mieux connu.
I chose this question because I wanted a chance to explore some events in my country's history that greatly reflect my identity.
