Multiculturalism is a defining characteristic of the Canadian people, where persons of diverse backgrounds and origins live in harmony.

Proponents argue that such policy encourages herding of ethnic groups, where differences between groups are amplified as opposed to their common identity as Canadians (Kymlicka Par1). It is imperative for a multiethnic nation like Canada to institute mechanisms that facilitate feelings ...

Typography refers to the appearance and style present in printed matter. It also relates to the skill of arranging to ensure that published sources appeal to the readers.

Question one

There are several differences between a single member district and proportional representation. In a single member district, the electorate can only elect one person at any particular time in a race. In the United States of America, Congressional districts take this approach. The key issue is that in a specific race in the district in question, only one member can be elected. In the United States of America, each state elects two senators. Although this is the case, it is important to note that the two do not compete or run in the same elective post. In ...

For instance, the story of Danielle Crockett, who was the victim of a severe neglect on the part of her biological mother and who never saw the sun ...
