Canada is a place of great promise and acceptance. It has been a top ranked country for many years and one of the world leaders in upholding civil and human rights. For 150 years Canada has been home for many people from all walks of life. The fight for just immigration laws, gender equality and black rights in Nova Scotia were turning points in Canadian History that influenced my personal sense of Canadian identity.
My favourite part of Canadian History is connecting past events and to the events of today, and how they affect us in the present.
I think it is important to shine light on the shadows in every nation's history, as it helps make sense of why we are the way we are today.
I believe learning about Canada's history heightens the power of Canada as a country to emerge as what it is today.
