Outcome: Multiculturalism and pluralism in Canada is promoted by... Read More

Season 2, Episode 47: When Immigration Wasn’t Equal – A History of Discriminatory Immigration Laws in Canada
2mo ago · 8:59
The problem I find when writing is that I stick to a certain template. It’s both good and bad. It’s good because I can quickly get a script out. Bad because I tend to reuse words often. Like in this episode, where the word “diving” makes another appearance. Outcome: Past legislation in Canada restricted immigration of cultural groups from North America, Europe, Africa, South America, and Asia, including the Chinese Head Tax... Read More

Season 2, Episode 43: The Constitution Act (1982) and Canada’s Foundational Constitutional Documents
3mo ago · 10:34

4mo ago · 8:39
Do you remember your first bank account? So much fun having that little bank book to update on those old printers.
