- ... other and other nations. Yet, Canada has its own identity as a delightful complexity of cultures and customs, government and heroes. On the other hand, Canadians are simply not Americans by government and technology. Canada’s own identity starts with our remarkable sense of culture and customs. For the native peoples, the Canadian identity stretches thousands of years into the search of struggles to retain elements of their ancient culture. From ... perspective, the traditions which surface in Canadian culture seem to be born of an earlier time, of different origins and places, of old-fashioned rituals, and customs. Unlike the United States, its senior neighbor, Canada’s aged-like identity is more reserved and skillful, unwilling to commit it self to anything specific. Within each region of Canada- North, South, East, West and Central- there are definite qualities that detach Prairie from ... years and the senators for six years.

In 1982, Professor John Orrell revived interest in the plans of the Globe.

- 23044: Labor Relations

- 23048: Bias In Printmedia
- ... print media to make an article more important than it is. Bias through word choice and tone is often used in print media sources.

In an article, “Health care to receive $3.8 billion injection”, in The Toronto Star, on October 22, 1999, the Governor, Hilary Weston, is reading a passage from a “throne speech” given by the government to introduce a Patient’s Bill of Rights.
