Discourse Analysis

My father immigrated to Canada from India in 1961 to complete his PhD, where he met my mother, a local farm girl. They married, and he soon joined Agriculture Canada as a research scientist at the Regina Research Station in 1963. Over his remarkable 40-year career, he contributed significantly to the evolution of herbicide research during a transformative era for Canadian agriculture. In the 1960s, as herbicide use surged across the prairies—building on early selective compounds like 2,4-D introduced post-World War II—his work focused on environmental residues and applicator safety, helping refine application methods amid a boom that saw the number of available herbicides in Canada and the U.S. rise from about 25 in 1950 to over 100 by the end of the decade. This period marked the widespread adoption of chemicals for weed control, enabling reduced tillage and boosting crop yields in grain production. By the 1970s, Agriculture Canada's efforts intensified with the introduction of groundbreaking non-selective herbicides like glyphosate, which revolutionized prairie farming by facilitating no-till practices and minimizing soil erosion while controlling persistent weeds. My father's studies on herbicide drift, persistence in air and soil, and human exposure played a key role in ensuring safer, more effective use, aligning with broader innovations that transformed western Canada's grain sector into a global powerhouse. Into the 1980s, as resistance issues emerged and manufacturing processes improved to reduce contaminants like dioxins in phenoxy herbicides, his research supported sustainable advancements, including better monitoring and guidelines that influenced international standards. Through these decades, his pioneering contributions helped develop and optimize herbicides now employed worldwide, fundamentally changing farming practices and enhancing productivity across the vast Canadian prairies.

It took me 7 years to get a PR

Lived in Brampton for years. Lovely place to live back in the 1990s.

I'm moving to Canada

Hello! I am coming to Canada next year as a student, my parents have given me permission to study abroad. 😊😊❤

JUST DID MY CITIZENSHIP TEST JULY4th/2025 and I PASSED 19/20. I WATCHED THIS 2 TIMES AND SKIMMED THROUGH THE STUDY GUIDE. I’M SO HAPPY. PARIS HERE I COMEEEEE 🩷

Came to Canada from Barbados 11 years ago and worked for everything I have. Never got help from the government.

I am moving there now

as a person who moved from alberta to brampton due to a family emergency for just 1 year, i was not prepared for the nosedive in quality of life at all

I had to leave Vancouver because it was too much, too fast!

I was one of the first ones who got PR though Jason Kenney's Canadian Experience class. Thank you, Mr. Kenney.

I wrote my citizenship test 20/20 today. While the questions in the actual test were not the same as this video, this video helped me to review and prepare with confidence. I read the discover Canada guide cover to cover thrice and went over this quiz twice. What really helped is that this quiz refers you to the exact line and the page of the handbook which helped a lot in preparation. Good luck everyone!

Thanks, I just passed and scored 20/20 in 7 minutes. The questions were so easy, straight from the book and this video helped a lot. I also did a lot of mock tests.

I want to say a big thank you for this video it help me to pass my citizens test Friday the 14th of November 2025 at 9:10 it only take me 10 minutes to complete the test

I gotta move to Canada.

thank u so much, I passed yesterday!

Yo Tyler I live there I wish I saw you man 8:34

I used to live in Brampton and this is real.

I like this guy now

Just took the test, got 19/20 (July 2025). This video was of great help. Read the study once and watched this once video from start till end, and I was all set. Thanks for sharing this video. Also, thanks to everyone for the comments because your testimonies help give credibility.
