Historica-Dominion Institute

Historica-Dominion Institute Dept: Video: 100 years of CFL history celebrated, according to Globe and Mail. First, culture: In a 2008 poll for the Historica-Dominion Institute, the Grey Cup was chosen as the seventh most important event in Canadian history. Sandwiched between the Battle of the Plains of Abraham and the Olympics, the Grey Cup has clearly engraved itself upon the nation, to borrow a felicitous phrase from the recent TSN television documentaries and video: How to make the most of your Grey Cup visit to Toronto CTV Video video Despite the fact it has been taken for granted by some and it s had its share of ups and downs there s no denying that the Grey Cup is an indelible piece of Canadian culture. It s also something of a family heirloom. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.

City On The Hill Dept: It's a startling finding, one that is reinforced by respondents' overwhelmingly positive attitudes about Canada's welcoming and tolerant treatment of newcomers. The results bode well for Canada's efforts to attract highly educated immigrants as the global search for talent heats up in coming years, according to Globe And Mail. “Largely, it's because we welcome immigrants. We do not have anti-immigration parties in Canada. Almost every European country has one. We do not have a skinhead movement in Canada. So that speaks well of Canada and may point to our greatest success of the last 25 years, which is the manner in which we have continued to welcome immigrants.” Given the choice, 53 per cent of adults in the world's 24 leading economies said they would immigrate to Canada, according to an international survey commissioned by the Historica-Dominion Institute in partnership with the Munk School of Global Affairs and the Aurea Foundation. “Canada is considered desirable for people all around the world. The shining city on the hill, as America was, and remains, for many people,” said Andrew Cohen, president of the Historica-Dominion Institute. As reported in the news.
