          If I was born in this decade, I still live with my family, still have the chance to go to school and make many good friends. I will also be very free, have their own unique style of clothing, dressed very fashionable. There will be new pop-rock music everywhere, and music will be heard everywhere. May have a TV at home, watching the news around or seeing the culture of a different country. At the weekend, I will go to coffee shop or go to the movies with my friends. I also will have oppotunitiy for jobs. I will have the same hobbies as I have now, such as baking.]]> 2019-01-10 18:41:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mxl315161414/z9gem2n12gxw/wish/319405632 One significant Canadian: How would they describe their contribution to Canadian History in 1960s? mxl315161414 https://padlet.com/mxl315161414/z9gem2n12gxw/wish/319406187
  “I have done it by hard work and long hours, by making it evident that I was available for whatever was to be done; by welcoming every opportunity for new and more responsible duties; and by accumulating all the experience possible in all the varied aspects of my profession.”

          —— Lester Bowles Pearson - Canada's 14th Prime Minister

           On August 10, 1960, the federal government of Canada, under the power of Prime Minster John Diefenbaker, created the Canadian Bill of Rights. This bill protects people from being discriminated against because of their race, creed, and/or beliefs. It was the earliest expression of human rights law at the federal level in Canada. This was a +2 in Canadian history, since this was a large step towards equality for all Canadians. Many people were discriminated against without consequence (women, Aboriginals, visible minorities etc..), but this Bill articulated that Canada is a country that will not ethically tolerated these acts. The Bill, still in effect, applies only to federal laws and government actions because the requisite provincial consent was not obtained.

The Canadian flag has been in official use for just over 53 years, since in 1965. Before that, the official flag of Canada was the Union Flag. The flags of the past were too closely associated with the United Kingdom, causing resentment among French and other immigrants. Designing a new flag may seem like a small task, but it was the most difficult one, and the main resistance comes from people who don't want to change the flag. When the deadline came and the plan was still undecided, a simple and striking design caught the attention of the commission. It was a pattern of red maple leaves with two red borders on a white background, designed by Georgle Stanley, a historian from alberta. In the end, the white maple design was unanimously approved by the 14 members of the committee. The committee settled on the plan, and soon both the house of Commons and the senate voted to approve it. The queen quickly approved the new flag. On February 15, 1965, the new flag was adopted by congress. The new flag was quickly adopted by canadians, even in Quebec. The appearance of the new flag reflects the national unity of Canada to the world.

          In 1961, the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) merged with the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) to create a new party called the New Democratic Party, also know as NDP. Whereas the CLC was solely focused on labour rights, the CCF had a more broad left-wing political philosophy. As such, the NDP went beyond a party for labour and beame a party of labour. The first leader was Tommy Douglas. This party brought us the idea of universal health care and much more. Unfortunately, this party has never risen to power as they split the liberal base such that it is difficult for the party to acquire a majority government. The results of their first federal election was 13.6 % of the vote , giving them 19 seats out of 265.

          If I was born in this decade, The school facilities won't be so complete, there is no computer, wireless network and so on. The surrounding environment won't be like present, including houses, roads and so on. If I want to travel, even if I have a car, I can only go to the cities near by my city. If I had been born in a average family, I would not have been able to get what I wanted easily and the family conditions would not allow me to do so.

          The Canadian flag is called the Maple Leaf Flag, and the French name is l' Unifolié. The national flag is composed of red and white. The white in the middle represents the vast expanse of Canada, with red on both sides representing the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans adjacent to the east and west. The red maple leaf in the middle is a symbol of the people who have worked hard on Canada's rich land.]]> 2019-01-22 02:59:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mxl315161414/z9gem2n12gxw/wish/322829340
