Canada entered World War One as a British Colony, and left it with an enlightened sense of nationalism that would eventually lead to demise of Britain's authority over Canada. The Canadian Army Core, although starting out weak at the beginning of the war, eventually blossomed in a strong force that helped tip the balance of power. While Canada's contributions abroad were well received, at home there was a growing sense of nationalism under the umbrella of the nation Canada, especially among the English-speaking inhabitants. Through a combination of Canada's highly regarded contributions and the steady perseverance of the leaders at the time, the British Empire slowly began to allow Canada to lives of her people more independently, thus increasing the sense of unity as a country. World War One was a crucial turning point for Canada's nationalism as being an entity separate from the control of the British Empire.Canada's military accomplishments were recognized by all; friend and foe. In particular, these achievements helped to coerce the British Empire into beginning to recognize that Canada may actually require some special treatment due to it's very unique circumstance. The most notable success of the Canadian Core was at Vim

" World War One was the turning point of Canada was being just being a British Colony, but instead, the socially identified and separated Canada. These new opportunities for Canadians of all walks of life created a new social fabric, one in which these people were Canadians working for Canada, their home nation. The World War was indeed a worldwide war, but one that very local and personal effects on Canada. As well, through the insistence of the Canadian leaders, the members of the Canadian Core were not mixed with the any other of the Allies, signifying to the Canadian troops a message more of fighting for Canada than fighting for Britain. For many of the Allies, the fighting disrupted many of their production industries. Canada's leaders at the time also recognized that for Canada's military to be useful at all, there were certain key industries that needed to be strengthened. Britain realized that Canada was a different kind of dominion, one that had leaders who were pressing who increased national visibility and more internal control. War World One was the turning point for Canada's nationalism as being separate from that of the British Empire. Canada's natural and human resources were called upon extensively during the war. For these factories to operate, they needed workers, which brought together a number of diverse groups that wouldn't otherwise have come together, most notably of these were women, for whom this was the first time they were able to do manual labour as opposed to domestic work. After months of stalemate between both sides, the ingenuity and fresh tactics of the Canadian officers and soldiers was enough to find the key weaknesses needed to take the ridge. The British Empire recognized Canada was a country that was rapidly trying to find itself as a unique member of the international community













The South-east Asia Tsunami that struck on Dec 26th 2004, is without a doubt, going to be one of the most life-altering natural disasters that the world has ever witnessed. The current death toll is 151,000 people and that number is rising every day with more and more bodies being uncovered, and as more and more people are dying from disease. Natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, volcanoes, landslides, hurricanes and tornados often kill many more after the initial climax of the disaster. The negative effects that the disasters leave upon the survivors are responsible for many, many lives.Despite the dramatic television and newspaper pictures, it is still inexplicable: a tsunami roaring across the Indian Ocean at 800 kilometers an hour, building up into 10-metre waves as it nears land, slamming into 11 countries on two continents, killing at least 50,000 people, leveling entire towns, leaving millions of survivors in shock and grief. And although the Indian Ocean earthquake and the subsequent killer waves that happened half a world away, the impact is felt around the world









Slightly more than half of all donations are coming from online sources. Clearly, there should have, and need to be one. The most important thing I think we as Canadians can do isn't donating our money, it is actually going to the tsunami torn countries and rekindling their economies with our tourism. Ottawa based UNICEF received $30-million with $20 million coming in online. the restoration efforts to return those 11 countries and the millions of people in them to prosperity. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center, when billions of dollars in donations poured in from around the world. With that kind of information, relief teams, like DART, can be dispatched without delay and can make the best of the early warning system's predictions and superiorly co-ordinate their efforts in the critical initial hours after a disaster. Such systems cannot predict earthquakes or tidal waves. As rescue workers from Indonesia to India, Sri Lanka and Somalia scramble to find more survivors, bury the dead and provide basic food and water to millions left homeless, Canadians of all backgrounds are joining a worldwide humanitarian relief operation. Just 10 days after the tsunami, the Canadian organizations raised more than $245 million. But the death toll would have still been high because it would have been impossible to evacuate millions of people from low-lying areas with just 60 to 90 minutes notice. However, they can help in predicting where the most damage will occur. If such a system had been in place, countless lives may have been saved in villages and resort areas along the shorelines. The reason this is unfortunate is because there are everyday disasters all around the world that are equally as important for money to go to
