Canadian Women and the Struggle for Equality, Marsden (2012) focuses on how far women have come in the past 150 years towards gaining equality with men in terms of law, work, marriage and society. Her own position in the movement towards equality serves as the point-of-view of this socio-historical account, which covers a great many years but always with the purpose being to show that change and progress towards equal rights for women has certainly been made. The strength of the book is that it proves this time and time again, showing continuously how (though there is still some distance to cover) women of today now have more opportunities than they did a century and a half ago in Canada. One of the weaknesses of the book, however, is that it fails to reflect some of the more radical feminist action over the decades in favor of a more moderate and mainstream account of this history. This is an understandable if not regrettable approach, because Marsden is seeking to effect broad and popular appeal in terms of audience. But a more accurate history might well have included some deeper account or analysis of all aspects of the feminist movement in Canada over the years. But Marsden's main goal is not to provide such a history: instead, she sets out to highlight some of the accomplishments of women for equal rights and the part she played in this activity as well. For this reason, Marsden's work makes a significant contribution to the literature on the women's movement in Canada over the years and by addressing specific topics, from the war to the law, should serve as a modest representation of the lengths to which women have come to achieve and maintain their rights. One of the best things about the book is the way in which Marsden identifies the origin of Canada's laws: "In...
Canadian National Identity and Canadian Hockey The Canadian administrative system in place has endorsed the national identity of Canada with hockey.

In the tenure of the same Prime Minister, an ex-National Hockey League player and icon, Frank Mahovlich was chosen as a senator.

Canadian Senate Politics in all its varied forms and nuances across both the free and undemocratic world share a common feature. In all its forms, politics is complicated. This is perhaps especially so for political leaders and entities whose function has become either redundant or unclear over the centuries of their existence. In addition to the general pitfalls of corruption and ineffective leadership, some entities face becoming obsolete in the face

Canadian Feminization Poverty While society has experienced much progress in the recent decades, it continues to have problems when considering the influence that the traditional patriarchal model has on the world. Gender discrimination is present in a wide assortment of communities, ranging from developing countries (where it is a dominant concept) to first-world countries. Women in Canada experience great difficulty as they try to evolve as equal members of their community
That style helps make this article potent. Instead of narratively screaming "Unfair!" Or "Corrupt!" Or "Arrogant!" from the sidelines, the authors use a velvet hammer. To use Franklin D. Roosevelt's phrase, the authors are speaking softly but their message carries a big stick. Throughout the article, the authors embrace the concept of "tools" -- as was foreshadowed in the article's headline -- and in every case, it is the federal
