Zusammenfassung: | "Since 1967, the centennial year of Confederation, numerous political crises, economic challenges, and international events have helped to transform Canadian society, and will continue to shape its future. Taking these various challenges and opportunities of the past into account, how does the future look for Canada? In Reflecting on Our Past and Embracing Our Future diplomats, politicians, scientists, and human rights leaders including Phil Fontaine, Michaëlle Jean, Ellen Gabriel, Paul Heinbecker, Bob Rae, Jean Charest, and David Suzuki have come together to share their wisdom and experience of events that have marked the country over the last fifty years. Reflecting on the role of the Senate in Canada as complementary to the House of Commons, they consider central issues such as the condition of indigenous peoples, the obligations of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the recognition of two official languages, and the national unity referendums. Contributors also discuss the transformation of the economy in a globalized and digital world, the role of Canada on the world stage at a time of growing tension and an increasing flow of refugees, climate change and the uncertain future of the Arctic, scientific and cultural competitions on the international market, and the future of parliamentary democracy. Correcting misconceptions about the contemporary role of the Senate, and providing a counter argument for radical Senate reform, Reflecting on Our Past and Embracing Our Future offers rich perspectives and fascinating insights about Canada's likely development in the coming years."-- |

Reflecting on the role of the Senate in Canada as complementary to the House of Commons, they consider central issues such as the condition of indigenous peoples, the obligations of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the recognition of two official languages, and the national unity referendums. Contributors also discuss the transformation of the economy in a globalized and digital world, the role of Canada on the world stage at a time of growing tension and an increasing flow of refugees, climate change and the uncertain future of the Arctic, scientific and cultural competitions on the international market, and the future of parliamentary democracy. Correcting misconceptions about the contemporary role of the Senate, and providing a counter argument for radical Senate reform, Reflecting on Our Past and Embracing Our Future offers rich perspectives and fascinating insights about Canada's likely development in the coming years."-- Kanada Parliament Senate (DE-588)43246-5 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Wirtschaft (DE-588)4066399-1 gnd rswk-swf Prognose (DE-588)4047390-9 gnd rswk-swf Soziale Situation (DE-588)4077575-6 gnd rswk-swf Politik (DE-588)4046514-7 gnd rswk-swf Kanada (DE-588)4029456-0 gnd rswk-swf Canada / Parliament Canada / Social conditions Civil rights / Canada Canada / Politics and government Canada / Relations HISTORY / Social History Civil rights International relations Politics and government Social conditions Canada Kanada Parliament Senate (DE-588)43246-5 b Prognose (DE-588)4047390-9 s DE-604 Kanada (DE-588)4029456-0 g Politik (DE-588)4046514-7 s Wirtschaft (DE-588)4066399-1 s Soziale Situation (DE-588)4077575-6 s Geschichte z Joyal, Serge 1945- (DE-588)1184492697 edt Seidman, Judith 1950- (DE-588)1184820740 edt Reflecting on our past and embracing our future.
