Canada did not struggle for freedom.  Canada chooses to keep its ties to its British roots.  We fought no battles against Britain, nor did we want to.  Canada and Britain have fought side-by-side in two world wars.  We are as free as any country, with our own government, and a Governor General who represents our Queen on state occasions.  Our history is very different from that of the USA.

Tough question.  As a Canadian veteran in World War I, and winner of the Boston Marathon, he certainly was a high profile member of his tribe.  Most of the information readily available doesn't chronicle his direct contribution to his tribe, beyond his celebrity status/notoriety.\n\nThere are several biographies available about him on Amazon.

Unfortunately he IS our PM and therefore carries the mandate to speak for Canada - even if it isn't what we personally choose to say.  I cannot agree with the above statement "Canada supports Israel" - If they are wrong then they are wrong - we cannot simply let them be because of  historical events and fear of being labled anti-semetic - disagreeing with the wholesale murder of civilians in any country they attack IS NOT ANTI-SEMETIC.\n\nHowever back to my point - He can speak for us but if we feel he's got it wrong then WE must state our case loudly and proudly.\n\nAs much as I am NOT a conservative and found "Stevie" to be a dull dull boy - I saw him on the Mercer report the other night and (argghh, I have to admit it) the man was funny and managed to raise my personal opinion of him to a new level - from below zero to 2 - it is KEY that our leaders have a sense of humour and are able to mock their own reputations!

Leadership associated with a position of authority\nIn On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History, Thomas Carlyle demonstrated the concept of leadership associated with a position of authority. In praising Oliver Cromwell's use of power to bring King Charles I to trial and eventual beheading, he wrote the following: "Let us remark, meanwhile, how indispensable everywhere a King is, in all movements of men. It is strikingly shown, in this very War, what becomes of men when they cannot find a Chief Man, and their enemies can." [3]\n\nFrom this viewpoint, leadership emerges when an entity as "leader" contrives to receive deference from other entities who become "followers". And as the passage from Carlyle demonstrates, the process of getting deference can become competitive in that the emerging "leader" draws "followers" from the factions of the prior or alternative "leaders".\n\nThe United States constitution provides another example of recycling authority. In the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the American Founders rejected the idea of a monarch. But they still proposed leadership by people in positions of authority, with the authority split into three powers: in this case the legislative, the executive, and the judiciary. Under the American theory, the authority of the leadership derives from the power of the voters as conveyed through the electoral college. Many individuals share leadership, including the many legislators in the Senate and the House of Representatives. [4]

"The Liberal Party of Canada (French: Parti libéral du Canada), colloquially known as the Grits (originally "Clear Grits"), is a Canadian federal political party positioned around the centre of the political spectrum, combining a generally progressive social policy with moderate economics. The party has been frequently dubbed "Canada's natural governing party", since it was in power for most of the twentieth century, and starting with Wilfrid Laurier in 1896 every leader of the party has served as Prime Minister of Canada. The party has formed the Official Opposition in the Parliament of Canada since February 2006."\n\n"The Shadow Cabinet (also called the Shadow Front Bench) is a senior group of opposition spokespeople in the Westminster System of government who together under the leadership of the Leader of the Opposition (or the leader of other smaller opposition parties) form an alternative cabinet to the government's, whose members shadow or mark each individual member of the government. Members of a shadow cabinet are often but not always appointed to a Cabinet post if and when their party gets into government. It is the Shadow Cabinet's responsibility to pass criticism on the current government and its respective legislation, as well as deciding where amendments to the legislation are necessary."\n\nThat's what I found from a search. Hope it helps.

The Queen is a figurehead.  She exercises no control.  Her representative in Canada is the Governor General, who is appointed by the Prime Minister, who leads the party who won the majority seats in the House of Commons.\n\nWe pick the PM, he picks the Governor General.  We control our country.  We are thus sovereign.  The Queen represents our roots and gives our laws their legality.

Anyone who voted for Harper is a blind idiot. What the hell is wrong with the Canadians I used to love? What happened to you all? More than half of you took an "I'm a complete idiot" pill on voting day. I cried. I really did.

These are opinion blogs, not historical references.  I suggest looking at a Canadian library's website for the region on question to find better leads to that kind of info.  Good Luck,
