An example of inequality is seen in the amount of unsolved disappearances of Indigenous women. Some cases are never even investigated.

Read this quotation from the organization Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls: "For far too long, Indigenous women and girls have been publicly devalued or ignored. People’s general perceptions have been shaped by harmful colonial stereotypes. People forget that every Indigenous woman or girl—no matter how she died or what she had been through—had an inherent strength and sacred worth. We need to transform the national conversation about Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA people. To build a strong foundation for healing, justice, and reconciliation, governments and institutions must change. So must our society’s attitudes and understanding of the issue."

In response, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau’s Liberal government introduced the National Energy Program in 1980.  The NEP was designed to:
  • Make Canada self-sufficient for energy
  • Reduce foreign ownership of oil and gas companies in Canada
  • Protect Canadians against high energy costs by setting oil prices lower than the world price.
  • The outraged Alberta, where 86% of Canada’s oil was produced.  They felt the government was interfering in a provincial area of responsibility.  As a result of the NEP, many foreign oil companies cut production or shut down.  Many Albertans lost jobs and lost homes.
  • 50,000 jobs and $100 billion in revenue were lost.
Although Alberta already felt betrayed by the government in several ways, this really started the idea that the federal government and Alberta have different interests. Alberta wonders if we should be sacrificing so much of our livelihood for other provinces.

This created an economic boom in Alberta that is compared to a modern day gold rush. Because world oil prices were so high, companies began to invest in the Alberta oil sands extracting oil.

  • In 2007, only Saudi Arabia had greater reserves than Canada.
  • 98% of Canada’s total reserves are found in the oil sands
  • Developing the oil sands has helped build prosperity in Alberta
    • Calgary has more families with annual incomes of $250,000 than any other Canadian city
    • Increased need for housing has caused housing prices to skyrocket

about their country’s history, nationhood, and role in the world." (Exploring Nationalism pg. 322)

Myths are any story or commonly discussed image of a nation. For instance, a myth about Canada is that we are peacekeepers. Myths aren't just things like stories about how the world came to be. "They can also include versions of
historical events and personalities, such as stories of early voyageurs canoeing westward, the building
of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and the War of 1812 — which Canadians consider a triumph over American invaders and Americans view as their victory." (Exploring Nationalism pg. 322) One example of a Canadian myth is the story of how Europeans moved here and triumphed over nature - this was used to get people to move here.]]> 2020-09-21 23:06:19 UTC https://padlet.com/breannamoore1/vdnmvdzij0q6ia4z/wish/766227780 Question 9 breannamoore1 https://padlet.com/breannamoore1/vdnmvdzij0q6ia4z/wish/766241857 Complete question 9 on your Google Doc.]]> 2020-09-21 23:17:12 UTC https://padlet.com/breannamoore1/vdnmvdzij0q6ia4z/wish/766241857 Promoting Identity breannamoore1 https://padlet.com/breannamoore1/vdnmvdzij0q6ia4z/wish/766248831 The identity of a nation can be promoted in multiple ways. Identity can be promoted through institutions (an organization united by a specific purpose) like: cultural institutions (honouring history and heritage), educational institutions (schools), and commercial institutions. Commercial institutions are "Groups representing labour unions, industry associations, chambers of
commerce, manufacturers, and other businesses, as well as people who are poor, also try to make their voices heard." 
Identity can be promoted through the arts - like music, artwork, and theatre. 
Identity can also be promoted through pop culture and sports.]]> 2020-09-21 23:22:44 UTC https://padlet.com/breannamoore1/vdnmvdzij0q6ia4z/wish/766248831 Canadian Identity breannamoore1 https://padlet.com/breannamoore1/vdnmvdzij0q6ia4z/wish/766256033 Popular songs from Canada: "The Hockey Song."
