What Values do Canadian people have?

Canada’s national motto is "Peace, Order and Good Government."
Right away, that gives an indication of what matters most to Canadians.
Just four simple words, but what they represent requires many.

To borrow a very good but lengthy quote:

"Canadian values include freedom, respect for cultural differences and a commitment to social justice. We are proud of the fact that we are a peaceful nation.
Canada is a large country with a small population. We have developed a unique federal style of government that is based on compromise and co-existence. We value our democracy, and every citizen is encouraged to do his or her share. Our laws are based on our democratic values.

Canadian values include:

Equality??We respect everyone??s rights. Everyone has the right to speak out and express ideas that others might disagree with. Governments must treat everyone with equal dignity and respect??two other fundamental Canadian values.

Respect for cultural differences??We try to understand and appreciate the cultures, customs and traditions of all Canadians, whether they were born in Canada or came here from another country.

Freedom??As Canadians, we enjoy basic freedoms, such as freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of peaceful assembly.

Peace??We are proud of our non-violent society and our international role as peacekeepers.

Law and order??We respect democratic decision making and the ??rule of law.?? We promote due process so that the courts and the police treat everyone fairly and reasonably. We ensure that our elected governments remain accountable to Canadians."

From: http://www.durhamimmigration.ca/creating??

Anyone reading the United Nations 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights will know what all those things mean in a Canadian context.
Link – http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/
That’s because the Declaration was written by a Canadian:
John Peters Humphrey (1905 ?C 1995).

In Canada’s capital city of Ottawa stands the Canadian Tribute to Human Rights – http://www.canadascapital.gc.ca/places-t??
That the world’s first such monument was erected in Canada only serves as a reminder how much we value everything mentioned in that quote and in the UN UDHR.

That quote I provided also referenced international peacekeeping.
Former Canadian Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson won a Nobel Peace Prize for inventing it – http://www.oneworldmanypeaces.com/peace_??
During his tenure as Prime Minister, he also implemented Canada’s Universal Healthcare system, our old age pension system, our student loan system and more.
His contributions to Canada and the world likewise indicate what Canadians value.

In practice, what we stand for has helped us to create a truly wonderful country.
We’re rated one of the 10 safest, happiest, most peaceful, and least corrupt nations on Earth.
We’re rated the friendliest, most welcoming, and most tolerant people in the world.
And our quality of life is one of the world’s highest as well.

As for Canadian culture, ours is that of all cultures.
To explain that, here’s another lengthy quote:

"Canadian multiculturalism is fundamental to our belief that all citizens are equal. Multiculturalism ensures that all citizens can keep their identities, can take pride in their ancestry and have a sense of belonging. Acceptance gives Canadians a feeling of security and self-confidence, making them more open to, and accepting of, diverse cultures. The Canadian experience has shown that multiculturalism encourages racial and ethnic harmony and cross-cultural understanding.

Mutual respect helps develop common attitudes. New Canadians, no less than other Canadians, respect the political and legal process, and want to address issues by legal and constitutional means.

Through multiculturalism, Canada recognizes the potential of all Canadians, encouraging them to integrate into their society and take an active part in its social, cultural, economic and political affairs.

All Canadians are guaranteed equality before the law and equality of opportunity regardless of their origins. Canada??s laws and policies recognize Canada??s diversity by race, cultural heritage, ethnicity, religion, ancestry and place of origin and guarantee to all men and women complete freedom of conscience, of thought, belief, opinion expression, association and peaceful assembly. All of these rights, our freedom and our dignity, are guaranteed through our Canadian citizenship, our Canadian Constitution, and our Charter of Rights and Freedoms."

Hope that helps.

1) What happens when you are unemployed and therefore not paying taxes? Is a welfare system in place like in France? or are you dropped on your *** like in USA? Or do part of the taxes you pay when you buy goods (books & clothing etc.) all go to pay for health care too?

2)What happens when a Canadian falls ill while visiting USA or—goodness forbid—has an accident and needs ER care. How does it work if you don’t have traveler’s health insurance? Does Canada step in to reiumburse USAor do they let you bleed to death at the ER like your average USA citizen?

If you are unemployed in Canada, you usually fall into one of two categories.

The recently unemployed are usually on "Employment Insurance". When you are working, you pay into the EI fund. When you lose your job, you start collecting paychecks from that fund, for a max period of so many weeks. If you get a new job, the payments stop, and you start contributing to the fund again.

Now if you have gone the maximum number of weeks and still did not find a job, then you can apply for welfare. That is designed for people who are not able to get a job for one reason or another, but still need money to feed themselves and their families, and to pay rent.

Now your medical needs are unrelated to whether you have a job or not. If you are a resident of the province (equivalent to a state here in Canada), you are issued a healthcare card. You simply go to the nearest hospital or public clinic, give the details of your problem to the triage nurse, wait for your turn to see the doctor, and go in and get treatment. The hospital or clinic does not ask you for your credit card, any payments, or whether you can afford the treatment. They simply bill the government for whatever they needed to do for you. That can be anything from a simple diagnosis and send you home, to open heart surgery and a week or two in a hospital bed.

What is NOT covered by your healthcare card is if you had to take an ambulance to get to the hospital, if you wanted a private room, or if you wanted to watch TV on those little screens over the hospital beds. Those cost extra and you are charged for them.

Where the government gets the money for the healthcare system is a bit of a mystery. Yes, it is paid by taxes, but which ones precisely we do not always know. That’s because the government tends to lump all the money they collect into one big pot and then distribute the funds in the areas where they feel they are most needed. This could be why in Canada, things like roads and bridges are not in very good shape. Even though we pay some of the highest taxes on gas, driver’s licenses, registration, car insurance, etc…it’s possible that much of that money has been diverted to paying for healthcare or unemployment payments in recent years.

As for your second question, what we normally do is take out private insurance to protect us when we are travelling. My company gives its employees a group health insurance plan so you are protected when travelling, and even covers things here that are not covered by the basic healthcare plan, such as dental and eyecare.

So here is a scenario that happened recently: My friend (a co-worker) was at LAX airport and actually fell while on the escalators there, dislocating a shoulder. He was rushed to hospital, where they set the bone, gave him medication, and cleaned up his cuts and scrapes. They advised that he likely needed surgery for the shoulder, but that it would cost thousands of dollars and did he want to proceed. He opted to instead check out and return home, where the surgery was done in a Montreal hospital, and he recuperated at home.

The overnight stay and treatment at the Los Angeles hospital was expensive. He had to pay for the ambulance, hospital bed, doctor’s exam, even things like $60 for a bandage! When he returned home, he had his surgery, several weeks of physiotherapy, prescription antibiotics and painkillers. His total cost? A few dollars for the medication which was not covered by the standard healthcare, and his private insurance paid for that.

For the hospital stay in USA, he had to pay the bill himself, but then made a claim to his group insurance here. The insurance company sends a request for payment to the government. They pay the insurance company a maximum for the treatment that happened outside the country. Then the insurance re-imburses the patient for the entire amount, less possibly a deductible, or only the percentage that the policy covers (ours is 100%, but some are only 80%).

Obviously, if you are unemployed or on welfare, then you probably do not have private health coverage unless you actually were able to maintain something like Blue Cross. If you are travelling to USA in search of a job, you probably pick up some travel insurance just in case. Otherwise, if you are still here in Canada and on welfare or EI, then you just use the public system.

Conversely, ifyou have private insurance in the USA they often will cover emergencies that occur in Canada and Mexico.

People who qualify for welfare are not unemployed. You have to meet other criteria in the U.S. and medical care is not automatically included. Most people lie in order to get Medicaid but they have to because it is hard to qualify.

Since the U.S. has 310 million people and Canada only 34 million, there is no comparison with the way health care is financed or delivered.

In BC you must enroll in the medical services plan, which requires insurance premiums. Your employer may take care of it. If your income is below some amount like $20k, you apply for premium assistance and pay nothing.

All legal residents of Canada are enrolled in their home province’s health care insurance pool. It’s paid for from general taxes. This covers care inside Canada, full care in your own province and emergency care in other provinces.

If you are unemployed coverage continues as normal.

If you fall ill in another country, such as the USA, your home provincial insurance will pay ER fees to the extent of the charge in Canada. Say $50 for an ER visit.

US hospitals set their own rates [someone I know was charged $35 000 to occupy a gurney in the ER, without doctors etc].

Canadians heading South can get emergency care insurance for about $25 for a week. Most people opt for insurance as American health care costs are well known in Canada.

Your comment on "bleeding to death" sounds offensive used in a Canadian context. Going to the US is similar to going to an African country, get insurance or pay your bill.

I need a answer

The Klondike Gold Rush of 1898 (near Dawson City, Yukon) is said to have been the biggest gold rush in history.

The beginning of the Dempster Highway was laid out by a local native man who traveled the area for many years.Joe Henry (who once held the Guinness record for the longest marriage, to Anne) walked, and a cat train followed him.People in the area often call is the "Joe Henry Highway."

Grise Fjord is the northernmost town in Canada.Eureka and Alert are further north, but, they are both weather stations, and Alert is a military station, not towns.

The town of Alert is the the world’s most northernmost permanent settlement.
It’s located on the northeast tip of Ellesmere Island in the Territory of Nunavut.

Nahanni National Park was one of the first 4 wilderness areas ever declared UNESCO World Heritage sites by the United Nations – http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/24/
And is one of the most ruggedly beautiful locations in all of North America.

It might help if there was actually a question.(Questions usually begin with words like What, Why, When, Where, Who, or How, and *always* contain at least one verb.)

I totally had this Q last week and Flower’s reminded me! That took care of food service so:

—-PLEASE: DO NOT answer here about restaurants, thanks!!!——

Ok so I read your answers and saw "we don’t tip as much as Americans". In France we tip A LOT MORE than yanks, that’s why yanks are considered totally rude in Paris and don’t get on our good side since it’s beyond super-rude not to tip everyone (and his brother) in Paris, like the worst affront to a French (Parisian) so to speak.

The below are instances where the French tip and/or are expected to tip (and watch out for next time if you did not the first!) Tipping is done/expected in places of business as much as in private residences. However, as a norm, yanks never tip in these instances & it doesn’t seem to be expected.

So do Canadians tip (OR ARE EXPECTED TO TIP???) or not when:

When UPS/DHL/Country’s Post delivers mail to you at your door?

When you have any at home delivery? (telegram, tree) (I reckon it’s rare to get a telegram these days)

When you have any in office delivery? (messenger/courrier)

When you are delivered food? *waving to Ajidamoon who tips pizza boys/girls*

When you get AAA to rescue you at the side of the highway?

OH!! HUGE ONE IN FRANCE: every January 1st we have to pay "les ??trennes" (New Year’s Day money gifts) to the garbage people (les ??boueurs), firemen and I forget who else knocks at our door with a year’s calendar and you have to give them money (5F was typical when I was a kid) before they hand it to you.

Also they come back May 1st for French Labor Day (La F??te du Travail) with a sprig of muguet (lily of the valley) and again palm open waiting for their coins.

Please let me know if Canada has these occurences which are unheard of to Americans. Also I did see someone on Flower’s Q that mentioned how it is in Qu??bec (the attitude appears to be similar to Parisians’) so those of you who know, please do let me know if you have the knocks at the door for Les Etrennes or 1st of May as we do in France.

Thanks!!!! =)

Just one comment about tipping in bars and restaurants:

As you mentioned, it is common in North America to tip in restaurants and bars. But there is some confusion regarding tipping in Europe. Why? My friend who lives in Scotland actually was shocked that I tipped and explained that (in many cases) the gratuity is included in the price in Europe. And I found out after my trip that many Americans are told that about tipping, which is perhaps why they(known for tipping quite well at home) leave little or no tip when abroad.

I discussed this with a waiter that I got to know well and trusted at my hotel and he explained that it is NOT always like that, and that you may want to ask if in doubt.

That being said, let’s look at the remainder of tipping situations.

——-

Canadians do not generally tip the post office or courier who delivers a package to the house or a place of business. I don’t know about other areas of the country, but I have not heard of that where I live. These companies usually pay quite well for their employees

When we are delivered food from a restaurant or from the supermarket, we do tip that delivery person. They usually are paid minimum wage and have to spend their gas to do the delivery, so I compensate them like I would a waiter or waitress, and they get a better tip if the food arrived quickly and still nice and hot, or if the weather was particularly nasty.

When I was stranded and the the auto-club came to help out, I did not tip the one time it happened to me. Although it was the first time it ever happened to me and I was not aware of whether you should or not. I think some people do, and I probably would next time.

We tip for taxi service, although it may not be a percentage of the total trip cost. For example, we may tip $5 for a $40 cab ride, but also only $5 for a $60 ride

Many people in Canada also give an annual gift at Christmas/New Years holidays for service to the garbagemen, newspaper carrier, and Canada Post mailperson. We may even give them something on other holidays, such as candy at Easter or Halloween.

We do not tip our firemen or police, but may buy their calendars or contribute at local fundraisers that they may host. We may also tip the person who cuts our lawn in summer or clears our driveway of snow in winter, or a housekeeper or person who comes in to clean.

"When UPS/DHL/Country’s Post delivers mail to you at your door?"
Usually no. Either you or someone else pre-paid for the service.

"When you have any at home delivery? (telegram, tree) (I reckon it’s rare to get a telegram these days)"
Usually no. Unless you were paying at the time of delivery – unusual these days.

"When you have any in office delivery? (messenger/courrier)"
No. This is a business to business contract, the company has probably already paid for it, and it isn’t your money to give away. Most offices do not carry petty cash anymore and if they do someone matches receipts to the totals.

"When you are delivered food? *waving to Ajidamoon who tips pizza boys/girls*"
Yes. Typically, you are paying at the time of receipt.

"When you get AAA to rescue you at the side of the highway?"
Your choice. Typically, you’ve pre-paid for this service so it isn’t necessary. However, if you feel the service was good and want to tip… fine.

"January 1st"
No. City workers don’t go around asking for tips. During Christmas, you might leave a Christmas card (possibly with some money in it) or some cookies for a newspaper delivery person, letter carrier, garbage person, etc. This is more common in smaller communities where you know the person since in larger areas you might have many people doing the job and you don’t know if they celebrate Christmas.

Most government workers, especially emergency workers, are not permitted to accept gifts. This makes it too easy to look like bribes or that wealthy areas get better services. Some government offices have charity boxes or go door-to-door over the holiday asking for donations to charities.

Of your scenarios, I’d say the only time it’s considered customary to tip in Canada is for food delivery.

For some newspaper deliveries, where people pay the carrier directly, it’s pretty common to tip, but I think that kind of gets lost for publications who take payment directly and not through the carriers.

Outside of food service and hotel service, we actually tip very little in Canada.I’m not very widely-traveled, but went to the States and a few other countries recently, and was quite surprised when virtually *everyone* I dealt with seemed to expect tips.In Canada, ‘polite and helpful’ is pretty much expected; it’s part of what you’re paying for when using any service in the first place.

No, you never tip unless it was for food or a haircut.

We have a decent minimum wage and usually ”tip” is included in the ”Final price”

People NEVER ask for tip, it is very rude.It’s greedy.

You are paid for your work so tip is an extra, and when you work as a retailer you don’t get tip.

When UPS/DHL/Country’s Post delivers mail to you at your door
No

When you have any at home delivery? (telegram, tree) (I reckon it’s rare to get a telegram these days) When you’re paying, usually

When you have any in office delivery? (messenger/courrier)
Not usually

When you are delivered food? *waving to Ajidamoon who tips pizza boys/girls*Yes, it is usually expected

When you get AAA to rescue you at the side of the highway?
Maybe if you felt they deserve one

Over the ice road in February because I want to be able to say I drove my car to Nunavut from Maryland, USA

Of course not.
This is a Canadian Winter we’re talking about.
And I’m Canadian, and know whereof I speak.

This happened in Ontario last winter in a heavily populated region around a 10 hour drive fromHagerstown, Maryland – http://jalopnik.com/5713491/massive-bliz??
Where you want to go is 3 thousand miles NORTH of there.
Think about that.

It’s your one and only life you’ll be risking.
And the lives of everyone who’ll try to rescue you if you run into trouble.

Any road trip is an adventure, but that’s one which can all too easily freeze you dead.
Or maim you for life if you end up having your ears, nose, lips, fingers, toes or family jewels amputated due to frost bite.
And never for a minute think that such thing can’t or won’t happen to you.
The minute you do is the second it will. Overconfidence is as deadly as the weather.

I’ve spent my life travelling from one end of this country to the other in all seasons.
So trust me when I say our Far North in winter is like nowhere else you’ve ever experienced.
The weather is absolutely unpredictable. Blizzards and White Outs blow up out of nowhere.
It’s sparsely populated and something as minor as getting stuck in a snowdrift across a highway can turn life or death waiting for a snowplow to come along.
And there’s no guarantees as far as ice conditions are concerned when you finally reach that ice highway.

All you can do is ensure your vehicle is 100% fully serviced and fully winterized; that it’s stocked to the max with supplies, tools, spare parts, fuel and even a spare car battery.
And that you’re likewise fully equipped with cold weather survival gear.
Like the Apollo astronauts, your survival literally depends on what you’ve got with you.

Unless you’re prepared to properly educate yourself on cold weather survival and invest in properly outfitting yourself with cold weather survival gear, don’t bother making the attempt.
It’s better to know everything and have two of everything and not need any of it than lose your life over something you don’t have or don’t know.

The roads are designed for tractor trailer use. Occasionally pick up trucks use it, or snowmobiles.

The concerns with taking a sedan. Its a 600 km road and the speed limit is 35 km / hr so travelling it alone would take a full day. I believe there are 3 camps along the way for emergencies and resting for the truckers and stuff. Not sure what refuelling is available in those camps. You must have radio communications if you plan on doing it. A cocern for sedan use is they often flood the roadway to fix cracks and increase thickness of ice. Not sure how deep the flooding is. Might pose a problem for a sedan.

There’s a reason ice truck drivers make 100 grand for two months work. Its tricky driving.

Can someone tell me about the following places in the song, "Something to sing about" which are supposed to be in Canada?
Northern Sea (thought that was in Europe)
Caribou (snow peaks of Caribou?)
Chimes in Mt. Royal (a church?)
Miramachi ridge (somewhere in NB)
Thanks!BTW, I sort of need it asap…!

The Northern Sea is another reference to the North Atlantic. Snow peaks of Cariboo – the Cariboo is a district in British Columbia. Chimes in Mount Royal – that’s the old name for Montreal. Miramachi is in New Brunswick and is on Canada’s official list of heritage sites.

Something to Sing About
(source: "Jubilee Songbook", Girl Guides of Canada, 1971; words and music by Oscar Brand.)

I have walked on the strand of the (Grand Banks of Newfoundland )
Laxed on the ridge of the (Miramichi )
Seen the waves tear and roar on the stone coast of (Labrador )
Watched them roll back to the Great Northern Sea
Chorus:

From the( Vancouver Island) to the (Alberta )Highland
‘Cross the (Prairies), the lakes to (Ontario’s) towers
From the sound of( Mount Royal’s) chimes, up to the (Maritimes )
Something to sing about, this land of ours
I have welcomed the dawn from the fields of (Saskatchewan )
Followed the sun to the (Vancouver) shore
Watched it climb shiny new up the snow peaks of (Caribou )
Up to the clouds where the wild (Rockies) soar

I have heard the wild wind sing the places that I have been
(Bay Bull )and (Red Deer )and (Strait of Bells Isle )
Names like( Grand Mere) and (Silverthorne )
(Moose Jaw and Marrowbone),
Trails of the pioneer, named with a smile

I have wandered my way to the wild wood of (Hudson Bay)
Treated my toes to (Quebec’s) morning dew
Where the sweet summer breeze kissed the leaves of the maple trees
Sharing this song that I’m sharing with you

Yes there’s something to sing about, tune up a string about
Call out in chorus or quietly hum
Of a land that is still young, with a ballad that’s still unsung
Telling the promise of great things to come.

Here’s the song and I’ve bracketed () all the places that are named. Some are Provinces, some are Cities or mountainsand some are waterways. A few refer to regions of Canada like Maritimes or Prairies

Northern sea( not north sea) refers to the north Atlantic
Caribou is a mountain range in northern Alberta
Mount royal refers to Montrealthe name Montreal is derived from Mount royal Mount royal is also a large park in Montreal
Marimachi is a river in New Brunswick

The North Sea is in Europe.
"Northern sea" sounds like it’s referencing the Arctic ocean off Canada’s north coast.

There’s various mountains here called Caribou Peak:

http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=ca??

http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=ca??

The chimes of Mt. Royal refers either Mount Royal, the city of Montreal that surrounds it, or the town of Mount Royal that’s part of the city – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Royal??

Miramichi is a city in New Brunswick. Dunno about ridge, but there’s a bridge there called Centennial Bridge – http://timestranscript.canadaeast.com/rs??

And no, the coast of Labrador isn’t like the White Cliffs of Dover.
Labrador is much more wild and rugged – http://www.wright-photo.com/northlabrado??

Hope that helps.

French isn’t really spoken in Windsor.Just English.

In many parts of the country, being able to speak French is an asset or sometimes very important to your employability – anywhere in Quebec, many places in Ontario along the Quebec border (say, Ottawa) – New Brunswick, parts of Manitoba…

But Windsor is so nearly exclusively anglophone that bilingualism is only going to be an asset for federal government jobs – say, Canadian Border Security Agency, or Customs.Outside of that, few would care whether or not you speak French.

In Windsor as in most of Ontario English is the predominant language. There are pockets of French Canadians in Ontario but most speak English too. The only Province that is predominantly French is Quebec and there you would want to speak French. In the rest of Canada English is the language spoken

Windsor, Ontario, is almost entirely English speaking – although there are people living there who speak French, Chinese, Hindi, Pakistani, Filipino and a variety of other languages, in addition to English.

Very little French is spoken in Windsor.There would be a lot more Italian, and probably some Asian languages as well, but, English is very much the working language there.

You’ll be fine… Most )99%) of the people in Windsor speak English… You will meet very few people in Windsor who only speak French…

If you know english then it’s ok , you won’t need french at all , quebec is the only part which french is spoken

English is fine.

haha, You will be fine with English. Quebec is the only place in Canada you might have some trouble

You may do so however I strongly suggest you speak to someone in the Immigration Dept about getting a returning residents permit.If you leave Canada without it (for any sizable period of time) you may find that you are not able to return and are deemed to have abandoned your claim to PR and eventual citizenship.
