How have immigrants influenced Canadian culture?
There is no such thing as a "Canadian" culture anymore than there is a single Global Culture. Canada is a Confederation of many Nations, each with many peoples and cultures. Some of those cultures date back thousands of years, some hundreds and most just a few decades. Most Canadians have very shallow family roots in Canada with 38% not being born in Canada or having at least one parent not born in Canada. With that in mind "Immigrants" are Canadian culture, just as they are Global Culture. BTW in Canada "Immigrants" are considered First Generation and their children Second Generation. This is different than most countries because once a person becomes Canadian they get all the rights and benefits, sometimes even more, than those whose families have been in Canada for hundreds of years. Also those whose families have been here for hundreds of years do not force their culture on others, not even their children. Multi-Generational Canadians have a very live and let live culture and think it is wrong to force others to change their culture. Of course this is not the case for all Multi-Generational Canadian cultures as there are some who have made laws that force their language and culture on new comers. Aside from that minority most Canadians respect other cultures and do not force their culture, or even share their culture as much as others. It is the main quality of Canadians that people like. People who come to Canada have, generally speaking, kept their culture.

What political changes occurred in canada after ww1?
== == A large number of the returning military vets took advantage of the FREE University education that was offered to them by the Canadian Government. That significantly increased the number of professional degree holders who went on to become the Doctors, Engineers and others who contributed to boom in Canada throughout the 50's and 60's. Another factor was the huge increase in births, from 1946 to 1960, as those same Vets fathered a record number of kids, all of whom would require new homes to live in, new schools to attend, new parks to play in and lots of new toys, clothes and food. New cars to ride in and new TV and appliances, and new stores to shop in. A BOOM time, with very low un-employment, and thousands of new houses and schools being built. After as much as 6 years of being away from Canada, the veterans wanted peace and stability in the country, and demanded that the politicians make it work and run smoothly. Giant projects were begun like the LeDuc oil fields, and the St Lawrence Seaway, and the Distant Early Warning System of northern radar stations to give advance warning of possible Russian bomber attacks. The industrial plants that had been building war-time equipment went back to making consumer goods like fridges and stoves, and cars. The new found incomes were used to buy new things, and the Canadian economy was BOOMING.
What was the great debate?
The great debate was the debate between Canada and the British colony to change the flag. There was one thing that was in their way, and that was the British wanting to stay as one flag. A debate was held for 6 months until John.A.Mcdonald decided to pass the flag, of the maple leaf. GO CANADA GO!!!!
