Canada Post Corporation

The Canada Post Corporation (Canada Post or CPC), is a Crown corporation that reports to Parliament through the Minister of Public Services and Procurement. Under the Canada Post Corporation Act (1985), the CPC has a broad mandate to operate a postal service for the transmission of messages, information, funds and goods and to provide other related services. The provision to provide postal services to all Canadians, including residents and businesses in rural and urban areas is central to this mandate. (See also Postal System.) Through the Canada Post Group of Companies, the CPC owns the subsidiary, Purolator Holdings Ltd., a courier company. The operations of the CPC are funded by revenue generated from the sale of the CPC’s postal products and services. In the third quarter of 2024, the CPC reported a loss of $315 million before tax.

Canada’s Cold War Purge of 2SLGBTQ+ from the Military

For much of its history, the Canadian military had a policy of punishing or purging 2SLGBTQ+ members among their ranks. During the Cold War, the military increased its efforts to identify and remove suspected 2SLGBTQ+ servicemen and women due to expressed concerns about blackmail and national security. In 1992, a court challenge led to the reversal of these discriminatory practices. The federal government officially apologized in 2017.

Canada-Third World Relations

The decolonization of the European empires after WWII produced many "new nations" and revealed how little economic and social development the colonial system had permitted its wards. The problem of the "Third World" and its "underdevelopment" was thus placed firmly on the global agenda.

Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA)

The Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) is a free trade agreement between Canada, the United States and Mexico. It is a revised and renamed version of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The leaders of the three countries signed CUSMA in November 2018 after 13 months of intense negotiations that concluded in September. Canada was the last country to pass enabling legislation, which received royal assent on 13 March 2020. The agreement came into effect on 1 July 2020. CUSMA is expected to have only a modest impact on economic growth. However, it could have a major impact on the restructuring of the North American economy. It may also limit Canada’s policy options in moving to a new economy based on knowledge, data and intellectual property.

Canada-US Auto Pact

The Automotive Products Trade Agreement of 1965, better known as the Canada-US Auto Pact, led to the integration of the Canadian and US auto industries in a shared North American market. While it brought great benefits to Canada, it was eventually found to be contrary to international trade rules and was cancelled in 2001. By then it had accomplished its biggest goal — an integrated North American industry with a much stronger Canadian presence.

Canada West

In 1841, Britain united the colonies of Upper and Lower Canada into the Province of Canada. This was in response to the violent rebellions of 1837–38. The Durham Report (1839) laid out the guidelines to create the new colony with the Act of Union in 1840. The Province of Canada was made up of Canada West (formerly Upper Canada) and Canada East (formerly Lower Canada). The two regions were governed jointly until Confederation in 1867. Canada West then became Ontario and Canada East became Quebec.
