The Road to Political Culture: A Changing Canada or a Cranky Canada: As a democratic country, Canada should have trust in its government. Though it is decreasing, the support for RCMP decreased by 7 %. During the pandemic, this situation became worse. Many controversies came on lockdown, vaccine mandate, mask mandate, etc. Freedom convoy came to Ottawa to protest.
Explain the meaning of
political culture and its antecedents: One person will be selected from a
city.
What is Political Culture: Political
culture changes frequently. Every culture has some symbols that reflect its
culture.
Important Canadian Symbol: Americans
used their flag to show America is great. Monarchy is a controversial symbol in
Canada, which Quebec refused to accept. The Charter of Rights is an excellent
symbol of a united Canada. Another one is the Canadian Health Care System. The
value of the symbols can be changed with time like many statues had been
removed.
In Search of Canadian
Political Culture: Every country has its unique political culture, though, at
the same time, it can resemble other countries, too. Canadian political culture
has with other British colony countries, Australia, New Zealand, and the USA,
the only neighbouring country. Canadians and the USA share the same long
border.
Analyzing
Political Culture: Discuss the theories used to explore Canadian
political culture: Canadian political scientists used two approaches to
describe Canadian Political Culture. One is based on history, and the other is
a sample survey.
Theoretical and Historical
Approaches to Understanding Political Culture: Political Culture is like an
umbrella where different ideologies may exist. In Canada, we have three significant
ideologies:
Conservatism, Liberalism
and Socialism. Founding Fragments Theory: Canadian Ideologies
should be divided into English and French. Formative Events Theory: The
birth of the country significantly impacts the Ideology. Canada slowly
disengaged from the British. However, Canada didn’t go against its mother
country.
A
National Political Culture: Common Beliefs and Values: 76% of
Canadians said they are satisfied with their democracy, whereas the USA was
46%.
Views about Government and
Politics: Only 4% of Canadians have a favourable opinion of politicians.
Trust in government and political institutions is decreasing. Though 67% of
Canadians said, they somewhat trust the government.
Rights and Freedoms: Canadian
Rights and Freedoms were established in Canada in 1982.
Tolerance: the adoption
policy of multiculturalism in 1971 was the first in the world, in Canada.
Diversity
and Political Culture: Provincial and Regional Political Cultures:
Canadian politics are regional.
Quebec Political Culture: They
are the master of their financial institute. They first introduce laws to die
(For ill patients), not accepting head cover for Muslim women for public
service.
Indigenous Political Cultures:
Canada is neglecting Indigenous values.
Ethnicity: Canada has
different ethnic groups.
Youth: Canadian youth has a
different view than the aged generation.
A
Redundant Border: Determine the extent of the similarities between Canadians
and Americans: Canadians
living in a shadow of the USA culture. We have over 9000km of border, language,
and culture.
