Ako ova go upati na mene, kanada nikade ne sum ja spomnal, nitu komentiral. Nit sum videl nit znam kako e so e tamu. Za Slovenija ti garantiram deka e kanta.
Тапа е веруј, имаат двојазичност Англиски и Француски, ладно е у пичку матер, сите играат xокеј, претседателот им поддржува ЛГБТ и вее знамиња, платите не се нешто уау As of September 2016, the average wage for Canadian employees was
$952 a week – or just under
$50,000 a year. This represents a 0.4% increase over the same period last year.

If Canada’s new prime minister wants his government to reach for the stars, he has probably called on the right man for at least one cabinet job: appointing the first Canadian in space as his transport minister.
Marc Garneau, a 66-year-old former astronaut and Canadian
Space Agency president, was sworn in on Wednesday as the country’s new Liberal government officially took power.

Canada’s new prime minister presents his first cabinet, which is made up of an equal number of men and women
Before launching his political career – he was first elected in 2008 – Garneau logged over 675 hours in space on Space Shuttle missions in 1984, 1996, and 2000.
But Garneau is not the only member of Justin Trudeau’s cabinet –
the first in the country’s history to have equal numbers of men and women – to have made history.
The defence minister, Harjit Sajjan, a decorated lieutenant-colonel in the Canadian armed forces, was the first Sikh Canadian to command an army regiment and served in Bosnia and Afghanistan, where he was deployed on three tours of duty. Before that, he spent over a decade as a detective with the Vancouver police department.

Like Sajjan, infrastructure minister Amarjeet Sohi is an immigrant from
India, moving to the country in 1981.

As a city councilor in Edmonton, Alberta, Sohi gained a reputation as being calm and thoughtful – traits that will serve him as he oversees the Liberal government’s massive infrastructure spending commitment.
But he has rarely shared the story of his time as a political prisoner in India in the late 1980s.
In a recent profile in the Edmonton Journal, he told how, after returning to India in the late 1980s to study acting, he became involved with young activists advocating for land reform in the state of Bihar.
The day before a planned protest, Sohi was
arrested and held for nearly two yearson accusations of terrorism, often in solitary confinement, beaten and tortured.
“I really don’t know how you heal,” he told the newspaper. “I haven’t figured out yet how to forget those memories.”
The veterans affairs minister, Kent Hehr, has also overcome adversity to get to his current role.
A one-time hockey player, he was struck in the neck by a bullet in a drive-by shooting, and rendered paraplegic in his early 20s. Hewent on to become a lawyer and an advocate for the disabled before jumping into provincial, and now federal politics.
Trudeau’s Liberals swept to power in October’s federal election, winning a surprise majority and ending Conservative leader Stephen Harper’s nine years in power.
The prime minister promised his cabinet would reflect Canada’s diversity, and the reaction to his choices has been largely positive.
John Ivison, a columnist in the right-leaning National Post,
wrote: “For a day, even the sceptics – ahem – were forced to admit the positive symbolism was a powerful antidote to the severe, austere Harper years.”
It even got some Hollywood attention, with actor Emma Watson tweeting: “Why a gender balanced/50:50 government?” and then quoting Trudeau’s comment “‘Because it’s 2015!’” Coolest thing I’ve seen in a while.”

Some critics have noted Trudeau’s current cabinet has only three more women than Harper’s last, which also included women in senior cabinet roles, like Canada’s first Inuk minister, Leona Aglukkaq.

The Assembly of First Nations congratulated Trudeau for appointing two Aboriginal politicians to cabinet, along with indigenous affairs minister, Carolyn Bennett, who has served as shadow indigenous affairs critic in the previous parliament and has a wealth of experience in First Nations issues.
Muslim Canadians also praised Maryam Monsef’s appointment to the democratic institutions portfolio. She becomes the first Muslim Canadian in cabinet.
The makeup of the House of Commons became more diverse in this past election. Of the 338 newly elected MPs, 10 are Aboriginal and 26% are women.
In comparison, women have just under 30% representation in the British House of Commons. There are 104 women in the US Congress, out of 535 senators and representatives.
Canada’s new parliament will also include a number of Muslim Canadians and 20 Punjabi-speaking MPs, making that language the third most common in the House behind English and French.
